Abstract: The invention provides condensed polycyclic ?-conjugated organic materials and manufacturing methods for the materials. A metal reducing agent is reacted with a straight-chain, triple bond-containing hydrocarbon (aryl acetylene compound, phenyl acetylene compound), the hydrocarbon being a benzene ring with an organic silicon as a substituent, so as to allow an intramolecular reductive cyclization reaction to proceed between the silicon and the triple-bond carbon. The reaction produces condensed polycyclic ?-conjugated organic materials of the invention. The invention provides light-emitting materials applicable for organic electroluminescent devices, condensed polycyclic ?-conjugated organic materials applicable for charge transport materials, their intermediate products, and a manufacture method for condensed polycyclic ?-conjugated organic materials.

Abstract: A polymer characterized by comprising repeating units represented by the following formula (1) and having a number-average molecular weight, in terms of polystyrene, of 103 to 108. (In the formula, R1 represents hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, aryl, aryloxy, arylthio, arylalkyl, arylalkoxy, arylalkylthio, arylalkenyl, arylalkynyl, amino, substituted amino, silyl, substituted silyl, silyloxy, substituted silyloxy, monovalent heterocyclic group, or halogeno; and rings D and E each represents an optionally substituted aromatic ring.
