TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ELECTRONICS - Preferred Process: The application of (I) to the first layer in process step (b) results in the formation of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). Preferred Components: The electronic component is an organic light-emitting diode or an organic photovoltaic element. The organic light-emitting diode is built up from at least the layers comprising anode/first layer of the layered body/further layer of the layered body/optionally emitter layer/optionally electron injection layer/cathode.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preparation: No preparation method is given.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The conductive polymer comprises a polythiophene and a polymer functionalized with acid groups. The polythiophene is poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). The polymer functionalized with acid groups is a polystyrene sulfonic acid. The weight ratio of polymer functionalized with acid groups to polythiophene in the first layer is 0.5:1-50:1. The first layer consists of the polythiophene and the polymer functionalized with acid groups to the extent of at least 50 wt.%. The further layer forms an SAM layer. The conductive polymer is applied to the substrate in the form of a dispersion comprising the conductive polymer and a dispersing agent. The dispersion comprises poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonic acid complexes. SPECIFIC COMPOUNDS - 5 Compounds (I) are specifically disclosed i.e. N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di-4-(6-bromohexyl)naphthylbenzidine of formula (Ia), N,N'-diphenyl-N-(4-(6-bromohexyl)naphthyl)benzidine, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di-4-(6-aminohexyl)naphthylbenzidine, N,N'-diphenyl-N-4-(6-bromohexyl)naphthyl-N'-4-naphthylbenzidine and N,N'-diphenyl-N-4-(6-aminohexyl)naphthyl-N'-4-naphthylbenzidine.    EXAMPLE - N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (1.01 g), 4'-bromo-1'-(6-bromohexyl)naphthene (2.80 g) and sodium tert-butylate (0.43 g) were suspended in 60 ml of anhydrous toluene and the suspension was degassed and heated under reflux. At 105 degrees C, a solution of bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium(0) (68 g) and tri-tert-butylphosphine (24 mu l) in 30 ml of anhydrous toluene was injected. The solution obtained was then stirred at 110 degrees C for 42 hours. After cooling, 100 ml of methylene chloride was added and extraction was carried out using 2x 50 ml of water. The organic phase was separated off, dried over sodium sulfate and filtered and the solvent was evaporated. The crude product was purified by chromatography to obtain N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di-4-(6-bromohexyl)naphthylbenzidine (42%).
