30. 10b have shown that m-phenylenebis-(chloromethylene) is a singlet biscarbene. The construction of a conducting polymer based on this interesting compound presumably would require additional structural features not present in the biscarbene moiety itself, since the attachment of further such units at the m-phenylene positions is precluded.
