Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of sublimable oligomers based on phenylene, linear and of controlled length, by electrochemical coupling of two lower oligomers within a monocompartmental cell with three electrodes, in the presence of an organometallic catalyst, characterized in that it comprises: PA0 1--electrolysis of the catalyst and its reaction with one of the two oligomers at a first potential, PA0 2--reduction of the insertion species obtained according to step 1, and its reaction with a second oligomer at a second potential below the first potential, and PA0 3--recovery of the sublimable oligomer so obtained, the two lower oligomers used being mono- or dihalogenated oligomers identical or different. The present invention also relates to sublimable oligomers based on phenylene obtained by this process, and their uses in electronics and/or optics.
