Trimethylsilyl end-capped bi- and terthiophene carbaldehydes were prepared by reaction of bi- and terthienyl lithium with DMF. Condensation of 5-trimethylsilyl-2,2′-bithiophene-5′-carbaldehyde with dinitrile of malonic acid gave silylbithienyl methylidenedinitrile in good yield, while reaction with hydroxylamine was accompanied by desilylation.

Two approaches toward control of the luminescence wavelength of polythiophenes have been explored: (i) block copolymers in which oligothiophene blocks alternate with oligosilanylene blocks and (ii) regioregular polythiophenes in which oligothiophene sequences are delimited by n-octyl substituents placed in a ''head-to-head'' fashion on adjacent rings. Both methods aim at restricting the pi-conjugation to the oligothiophene sequences. The block copolymer approach is very effective, whereas the (solution) luminescence spectra of the regioregular polymers are strongly red-shifted with respect to absorption and confined to a narrow range of wavelengths. This is due to the quinoid character of the excited singlet state, in which there is a strong electronic driving force toward coplanarity of adjacent thiophene rings, which offsets the steric hindrance of the octyl substituents and increases the size of the conjugating pi-system. This explanation is supported by calculations and by spectral data of substituted bithiophenes.
Synthesis and optical properties of compounds via platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation of triethynyltriazine and silyl-substituted oligothiophenes
New types of starlike compounds and branched polymers with a triazine core and silylbithienyl or silylterthienyl arms were prepared by the use of platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation. The UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence properties of these molecules have been investigated. In the fluorescence spectra of the silylbithienyl substituted starlike compound, their emission maxima derived from the bithiophene units were observed. In the branched polymer with silylbithienyl units, a peak derived from the interaction between the triazine and bithienyl units was observed at about 500 nm. No significant difference between the starlike compound and branched polymer with silylterthienyl units was observed in their UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra. DFT calculations were performed to understand the photophysical properties of the starlike molecules with silylbithienyl and silylterthienyl arms. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
