The increasing miniaturisation on the field of electronics and information generation requires evaluation of new concepts and technologies. One method to fulfil the demands is use of single molecular units for data storage and processing. The primary research field of our work group are the properties of conducting polymers and switching molecules. The work includes synthesis of new organic materials for molecular electronics as well as the study of conductivity under different conditions, their dynamics upon optical excitation and their suitability for electronic devices. Materials to be studied are, above all, molecules with extended systems of conjugated double bonds. It covers one-dimensional conductors like polyacetylene and related polymers or oligomers whose structure are based on a polyacetylene backbone, but also more complex structures like graphite[1-4].
