Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Electronic Properties of Nonlinear Fused Thienoacene Semiconductors
摘要:
Two fused thienoacene compounds with two-dimensional ring connectivity were synthesized, and their semiconducting properties were characterized. Both compounds have a crystal structure comprised of herringbone arrays of tight pi-pi stacks. Strong pi-pi interactions lead to self-assembly into well-defined crystalline thin films from the vapor phase for both compounds. Field effect transistors were fabricated, affording identical hole mobilities of 3.0 x 10(-3) cm(2)/(V s) and l(on/off) > 10(5).
Electronic Influence of the Thienyl Sulfur Atom on the Oligomerization of Ethylene by Cobalt(II) 6-(Thienyl)-2-(imino)pyridine Catalysis
摘要:
The position of the sulfur atom in the thienyl group of 6-(thienyl)-2-(imino)pyridine ligands strongly affects the catalytic activity of the corresponding tetrahedral high-spin dihalide Co-II complexes in the oligomerization of ethylene to alpha-olefins upon activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO). Complexes with the sulfur atom in the 3-position of the thienyl ring catalyze the selective conversion of ethylene to 1-butene, while catalysts containing thien-2-yl groups give C-4-C-14 alpha-olefins. In situ EPR experiments showed the occurrence of a spin state changeover with the formation of low-spin Co-II species upon activation of the catalyst precursors by MAO. DFT calculations suggest that only thien-2-yl rings allow for the coordination of the sulfur atom to the cobalt center in the MAO-activated systems.
Novel Pentacyclic p-Conjugated Cations Containing Both Heteroaromatic Units and a Tropylium Ion 2. Synthesis of Cyclohepta[a]benzofuro[c]naphthalenylium and Cyclohepta[a]benzothieno[c]-naphthalenylium Ions
Two isomeric pairs of cyclohepta[a]benzofuro[c]naphthalenylium ions (5 and 7) and cyclohepta[a]benzothieno[c]naphthalenylium ions (10 and 11) have been synthesized by an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts type reaction of o-benzofurylcycloheptatrienylbenzenes (3 and 8) and o-benzothienylcycloheptatrienylbenzenes (14 and 15), respectively, in a one-pot reaction.
