Abstract

Penta- and hexa(3,4-thienylene)s were synthesized via sequential coupling reactions, and the structures were detemined by X-ray crystallography. NMR spectroscopic analysis revealed that the interconversion of thiophene rings is fast in penta(3,4-thienylene), and slow in hexa(3,4-thienylene) reflecting the activation energy for enantiomerization. Size-dependent bathochromic shift was observed in UV-vis absorption spectra.
