摘要

A polymer comprising structural units of the formula I is prepared according to a novel method, in which the starting compound R₁ 'S-(CHR'₂)-Ar-(CHR₂)-SR₁ is polymerized with a base, preferably in an aprotic solvent. The polymer comprises 50 to 1000 structural units of the formula I. The solution comprising the polymer thus prepared has a lower viscosity than a solution of a similar polymer with a greater chain length. The solution comprising the polymer thus prepared may be applied as a layer on a substrate. Electronic components with layers prepared with the polymer of the invention show better properties.
