Summary: In this paper we report the synthesis, characterisation and photopatterning of polydisperse fluorene oligomers. The oligomers were synthesised using the Yamamoto coupling. The molecular weights of the oligomers and as a consequence the nematic‐isotropic transition temperatures were tailored by an endcapping reaction. With the endcapping species we introduced reactive acrylate functionalities. Subsequent photocrosslinking through a test mask led to the formation of fluorescent microstructures with a resolution of 1 µm.
