Synthesis and characterization of unsymmetric Lndolodithienopyrrole and extended diindolodithienopyrrole

Abstract

(Figure presented) Indole-fused dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]pyrrole- based unsymmetrical and extended heteroacenes were synthesized and characterized. Solid-state structures were examined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction to understand their packing behavior. The optical and electrochemical properties of these new heteroacenes are also described in detail. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
