Results are presented which explore the synthesis, characterization and photoluminescence of new types of conjugated copolymers which incorporate fused thiophene units. Such materials possess intense purple-red colours and some absorb in the near-infrared. The redox processes showed that the polymers were both p- and n-dopable.
