Novel [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) analogues containing benzo[b]thiophene (3a, 3b) and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (3c, 3d) were synthesized and characterized. The morphology of the thin films prepared from the mixtures of these methanofullerenes with regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was investigated by AFM measurement and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. A solubility t...

Facile and convenient syntheses of bisdimethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophen-2,5-diyl bis(oxazole-2-amine), bis(1H-imidazol-2-amine), bis((3a)-H-indole),[1,2-a]pyrimidine), bis(1H-imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazole) and bis(9H-benzo[d]imidazo[1,2-a]imidazole) derivatives incorporating a thieno[2,3-b]thiophene moiety from the versatile and readily accessible 1,1'(3,4-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2,5-diyl)-b...

The antibacterial activities of nitropyrroles, nitrothiophenes, and aminothiophenes were studied. Replacement of the nitro group with an amino group enhanced the activity of the thiophene compounds.

An iterative strategy for the synthesis of new sulfur-functionalized oligothiophenes by Suzuki or Stille cross-coupling reactions was applied to the reaction of 4-bromo-tert-butylphenylthioether with thiophene derivatives. The planarity of the oligothiophenes obtained was confirmed by the singlecrystal X-ray structure analysis of 2-(4′-tert-butylthiophenyl)thiophene, which shows a potentially l...

Preparation of 2- and 6-thienylazulene derivatives was established by the palladium-catalyzed direct cross-coupling reaction of 2- and 6-haloazulenes with the corresponding thiophene derivatives in good yield. Several thienylazulene derivatives were also used in the reaction with 2-chloroazulene derivatives in the presence of the palladium-catalyst to afford the thiophene derivatives with two a...

The synthesis of polyethynyl aromatics as starting materials for the preparation of highly cross-linked organic solids containing high atom fractions of carbon is described. Treatment of bromoand iodoaromatic compounds with (trimethylsily1)acetylene (TMSA) in the presence of palladium(0) and copper(1) in amine solvents yields (trimethylsily1)ethynyl-substituted aromatics. The TMS protecting gro...

Quantum chemistry calculations have been performed to compute the optimized geometries, vibrational frequencies, and Mulliken Charges at B3LYP/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) levels for 3-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene (FPT), 3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiophene (NPT) and 3-(4-cyanophenyl) thiophene (CPT) in the ground state. In addition, the (13)C and (1)H NMR are calculated by B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP...

A modified electrode for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) sensing was prepared via thiophene (Th) with epoxy group. Thiophene (EpoxyTh) with epoxy group was synthesized by reaction of 3-bromothiophene and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) in acetonitrile according to Heck Reaction. The electrocopolymerization of Th and EpoxyTh was performed on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode by cycling the po...

A pro-aromatic bisphenaleno-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (BPT-TIPS) was synthesized and compared with an anti-aromatic bisindeno-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (S2-TIPS). BPT-TIPS showed larger diradical character, stronger absorption, longer excited state lifetime and better redox amphotericity than S2-TIPS.
