Polymers with conjugated double bonds having heterocyclic and/or carbocyclic rings or ring systems in which said rings or ring systems are linked with one another in pairs via a carbon atom as a bridge member. Polymers of the invention have, at least five of said ring or ring-systems. The polymers may be prepared by reacting at least one compound of the formula <IMAGE> (I) with at least one compound of the formula H-R'' -H (II) in which X represents fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, hydroxyl, sulfate radicals or radicals of the formula -OR, -SO3F, -SO3R or -NR2; X2 represents two radicals X, or an oxygen atom of a carbonyl group; R represents the same or different alkyl radicals having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, phenyl and a hydrogen atom; and R'' represents the same or different monocyclic or polycyclic (hetero) arylene radicals optionally substituted by hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. |
