In order to study the transport properties-connectivity relationship in conducting networks, we have deeded to prepare calibrated fully conjugated gels. Four series of statistical poly(octylthiophene) gels have already been obtained. We now plan to control the absolute length and the regioregularity of the chain segments defined by adjacent crosslinks. These segments consist of n (n≥l) sexi(3-octyl)thiophene. We have improved the step-by-step preparation of the regioregular sexioctylthiophene. We have further caracterized all the oligomers (from bithiophene to sexithiophene). The regioregular sexioctylthiophene was then coupled to a 1, 3, 5 tribromobenzene. The molecule thus obtained is the basic unit of the gels.
