Abstract

Abstract We report the synthesis of various thiophene/phenylene co-oligomers with a total number of thiophene and benzene (phenylene) rings of 5 and 6 with various terminal groups. Those terminal groups have been chosen from among alkyl groups, methoxy groups, trifluoromethyl groups, and cyano groups. The molecular backbone of these compounds comprises phenyl-or biphenylyl-capped thiophene (or oligothiophene) or an ...
