Themis , the Goddess of Justice in the Greek mythology, judges with blindfolded eyes the case thiophene for the catalyst‐transfer‐type polymerization. The balance scale in her left hand shows the imbalance between dibromothiophene and chlorothiophene, suggesting that smaller weight loss from chlorothiophene leads to the regioregular poly(3‐substituted thiophene) in a more atom‐efficient manner.
