This article covers the developments on the synthesis and properties of heterocyclic fused pi-conjugated bithiophene materials that are potentially applicable in molecular electronics and optoelectronics. This fairly young strategy to efficiently tuning the electronic properties generates materials with very narrow band gaps. The nature of the central bridging heteroatom has a significant impact on the electronic and luminescence properties of these materials leading to intriguing species that can be employed in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) or organic field effect transistors (OFETs). So far a variety of heteroelements of group 13-16 (B, Si, Ge, Sn, N, P, S) have been investigated and incorporated into molecular as well as polymeric systems. A significant number of these materials can potentially act as organic emitters, electron or hole transport materials in organic devices but further studies are needed to optimize the necessary properties for the utility of this young class of compound in molecular electronics.
