Partially a-brominated derivatives of tetra-2-thienylmethane (Br-n-TTM; n = 1-3) were synthesized and isolated in gram quantities. An alternative and more selective preparation of Br-3-TTM was also developed. A new pi-electron system based on the tetra-2-thienylmethane framework was synthesized from the monobromo derivative of tetra-2-thienylmethane.
