In this paper, after revisiting previous data on terthiophene molecules, several attempts are described to use metal containing species such as nanoclusters and molecular complexes as dispersed chromophores in the same ethylene polymer matrix in order to extend an approach to new classes of molecules and improve some specific optical responses including fluorescence dichroism and behaviour as linear optical polarizers is evaluated. Comparison with typical linear polarizers from the same polymer and terthiophenes of innovative gold clusters is discussed as well as transition metal complexes.
