General methods Differential scanning calorimetry (DC) measurement was carried out with a rate of 5 ºC min 1 with EXTRA 7000 (Hitachi). The ultraviolet-visible near-infrared (UV-vis-IR) absorption spectra were taken with UV-3100PC (himadzu). The CD spectra of the polymer films deposited on IT glasses were taken with J-720 (Jasco). Linear dichroism signals of the polymers were evaluated (to be negligible intensity) and removed from the CD spectra. The infrared (IR) absorption spectra were obtained with FT/IR 550 (JAC) by using the KBr method. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TF-M) analysis was conducted using TF/TF 5800 (AB ciex). MALDI-TF-M spectra of PEDT, poly(bis-edt), and the furan containing polymers somehow could not be obtained, which is maybe due to their high molecular weight. The polymer films were scratched off the IT substrates and mixed with dithranol used as a matrix in THF solution. canning electron microscopic observation was carried out with JM-7000F (Jeol). Polarizing optical microscopy was performed with ECLIPE LV100 (ikon). 1 H and 13 C MR spectra were recorded on JM-EC 400 (Jeol). The chemical shifts in deuterated chloroform were reported against tetramethylsilane internal standard. Calculations The spin densities of the monomers in the radical cationic state and the optimized geometry for model compounds were calculated by density functional theory (DFT) method at Becke s three-parameter set with Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional (B3LYP) with 6-31G* basis set, which is implemented in partan 04 package. Energy profiles for inter-ring rotation of 4DMBT and 3DMBT in the neutral and radical cationic were calculated by the DFT method with variation of the interring C=C C=C dihedral angles from 0 º to 180 º with a step of 10 º. 2
