Giant Cyclo[n]thiophenes with Extended π Conjugation

Dual roles and nanorings: A new family of cyclic oligothiophenes with up to 35 thiophene units is synthesized by using platinum complexes in a dual role as template and as reactive center. The ease of ionization and aggregation of the new compounds indicates that they have promising properties for u...

Description
Summary:Dual roles and nanorings: A new family of cyclic oligothiophenes with up to 35 thiophene units is synthesized by using platinum complexes in a dual role as template and as reactive center. The ease of ionization and aggregation of the new compounds indicates that they have promising properties for use as organic electronic materials of increased structural complexity.
