Abstract: The use of conjugated compounds which contain two or more pyrimidine rings as part of the conjugated system as electroluminescence materials. The conjugated compounds containing pyrimidine rings have a high thermal stability and a high photostability. They are partially soluble in acids, which also makes possible processing from solution, as well as by vapor deposition.

Abstract: The invention concerns diazapentalene derivatives of formula I ##STR1## in which X and Y represent leaving groups which are less nucleophilic than thiol compounds, as thiol-specific fluorochromes for the detection of compounds containing thiol groups, in particular in cells.

Abstract: Polyanils of the general formula ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.24 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.24 -alkoxy, Cl, Br, CF.sub.3 or NO.sub.2,R.sup.2 is para-phenylene, a fused aromatic ring system of 10 to 30 carbon atoms or ##STR2## R.sup.3 is a chemical bond, S, O, NH, CH.sub.2, CH.dbd.CH, CO, SO or SS andn is an integer from 5 to 100,and their acid addition salts of the general formula II ##STR3## where X.sup.- is ClO.sub.4.sup.-, BF.sub.4.sup.-, AsF.sub.6.sup.- or ##STR4## and R.sub.4 is C.sub.1 --C.sub.8 -alkyl are disclosed. The polyanils are useful as electrically conductive materials and for nonlinear optical purposes.

Abstract: Aromatic, substituted pyrimidine compounds, methods for the preparation thereof, and use thereofCompounds having a pyrimidine ring, of the formula (I) ##STR1## are suitable for nonlinear-optical applications, e.g. for fabricating components for frequency-doubling of light. In the formula, AX is ##STR2## An.sup.- is an anion, B is the pyrimidine(1,4) radical, D is --NH.sub.2, --NH--NH.sub.2, --OR.sup.6, --O(CH.sub.2).sub.p OH, --OH, --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6, --NHR.sup.6, --N.dbd.CH--R.sup.4, --HN--N.dbd.CH--R.sup.4, --NO.sub.2,the radicals R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.5 are an alkyl radical having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms or a radical CF.sub.3 (CF.sub.2).sub.m (CH.sub.2).sub.n, R.sup.4 is a phenyl radical which may be substituted, R.sup.6 is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms or the radical CF.sub.3 (CF.sub.2).sub.m (CH.sub.2).sub.n, where m is an integer of at least 5, n is an integer of at least zero, and (n+m) is at most 22, or the group (CH.sub.2).sub.

Abstract: Combating pests with compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which the radicals can have many specifically recited definitions. Many of the compounds are novel, particularly those where R' is --CN and R.sup.2 is --CN or --CONH.sub.2.
