n-(7-chloro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1h-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-3-yl)thiophene-2 carboxamide-[14c-carboxy] was prepared as part of a 6-step sequence from thiophene-2-carbonitrile -[cyano-14c] as a keysynthetic intermediate which has been synthesized from 2-iodothiophene and zinc [14c]-cyanide in thepresence of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium.

The small-molecule organic semiconductor tetraceno[2,3-b]thiophene has been synthesized through an environmentally friendly synthetic route, utilizing NaBH4, rather than Al/HgCl2, for the reduction of the quinone. Lowvoltage organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been fabricated using tetraceno[2,3-b]thiophene and, for comparison, pentacene and anthradithiophene as the semiconductor. The tet...

A comprehensive and facile method for the synthesis of new functionalized bis-heterocyclic compounds containing a thieno[2,3-b]thiophene motif is described. The hitherto unknown bis-pyrazolothieno[2,3-b]thiophene derivatives 2a-c, bis-pyridazin othieno[2,3-b]thiophene derivatives 4, bis-pyridinothieno[2,3-b]thiophene derivatives 6a,b, and to an analogous bis-pyridinothieno[2,3-b]thiophene nitri...

natural clinoptilolite zeolite (clp) in its original or metal ion- exchanged form (ni2+) is a weak adsorbent for relatively large thiophene derivative molecules like benzothiophene (bt) and di-benzothiophene (dbt), due to its rather restricted micro-channel structure. a novelty of this work is that upon desilication treatments, it is possible to enhance the adsorption behavior of ni2+-exchanged...

Abstract Hydrodesulfurization of thiophene has been studied over alumina supported sulfided molybdena, nickel-promoted molybdena and nickel (Mo, NiMo Ni) catalysts. The experiments were carried out with a mixture thiophene, labeled radioactive carbon (thiophene-[G-]- 14 C) non-radioactive tetrahydrothiophene (1:1 mol ratio) in micro catalytic system. It was established, that the main products t...

Photochromism of a symmetric diarylmaleimide derivative, having two thiophene rings (1), and a non-symmetric derivative having a S,S-dioxide thiophene ring and a thiophene ring (2) as the aryl moieties, was studied in various solvents. The photocyclization quantum yield of gradually decreased with increasing the solvent polarity and the reaction was not observed in polar solvents, such as ethan...

Layered transition-metal chalcogenides have emerged as a fascinating new class of materials for catalysis. Here, we present periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the adsorption of thiophene and the direct desulfurization reaction pathways on the (001), (011), and (111) surfaces of layered FeS. The fundamental aspects of the thiophene adsorption, including the initial adsorpti...

Using 3-methyl-4-phenylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarbohydrazide as synthon a series of new bis-heterocycles incorporating the thieno[2,3-b]thiophene nucleus was prepared and characterized.

Linear poly(p-phenylene)s are modestly active UV photocatalysts for hydrogen production in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor. Introduction of planarized fluorene, carbazole, dibenzo[b,d]thiophene or dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone units greatly enhances the H2 evolution rate. The most active dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone co-polymer has a UV photocatalytic activity that rivals TiO2, but...

The adsorption mechanism of single thiophene (C4H4S), 4-thiophene (C16H10S4), and their dimers on the Cu(111) surface has been studied in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The importance of the London dispersion effects on the molecule-surface adsorption geometry and the corresponding binding energy was investigated by using semiempirical and first-principles methods.
