  • Patent number: 7402717
    Abstract: Both low molecular weight and high molecular weight aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds which are substituted by olefins play an important role in industry, for instance as assistants and additives in cosmetic preparations, for example in sunscreens, various fine and electronics chemicals, and precursors for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Also, particularly in the rapidly growing field of organic semiconductors (for example applications in organic or polymeric light emitting diodes, organic solar cells, organic ICs), precisely these compounds are of outstanding significance.
