We present the synthesis and the electrochemical characterization of polymeric electron transport materials, synthesized by polycondensation of substituted triazines and α , ω ‐dihaloalkanes. They can be reversibly reduced with the least negative potential at −0.39 V, which is below the reduction potential of oxygen. In addition, the formation of polyelectrolyte multilayers is possible by the electrostatic self‐assembly method. This multilayer formation takes place in a very defined way up to thirty double layers.An example of one of the polymeric triazine electron transport materials synthesized and a schematic diagram of a self‐assembled multilayer film.
