This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of a new class of diblock copolymers (co‐oligomers), rod–rod conjugated diblock copolymers. A general synthetic strategy is outlined, and the structures of the copolymers (oligothiophene– co ‐oligophenylenevinylene) are fully characterized. It was found that these copolymers exhibit efficient intramolecular energy transfer. An interesting self‐assembly ability of these rod–‐rod copolymers was also revealed.
