| Linear polycyclic aromatic heterocycles are expected to have excellent emissive properties, stacking abilities, and p-type charge-transport properties. In our approach to develop new photochemical synthetic methodologies, we have designed new materials of the general formula 1. The overall approach is to investigate the properties of these new fused systems containing thiophene as a 4-carbon synthon in the photoformation of new aromatic nuclei. We will apply these systems as platform for even more extended chromophores. Herein, we report the isomer-pure synthesis and spectroscopic properties of the new materials. Details of the photochemical reactions of 1 with electron-poor acetylenes will be introduced. |
