Spider‐like oligothiophenes… are designed, synthesized and characterized by F. Sannicolò and co‐workers (see page 459 ff.). A linear oligothiophene “body” decorated with 5‐(2,2′‐bithiophenyl) “legs” provides an excellent compromise between increasing molecular complexity and improvement of electronic properties. The electrochemical and optical properties of the “spiders” and those of the films prepared by their electrooxidative coupling are detailed.
