Novel Terthiophene and Bis(thienyl)furan Derivatives as Precursors to Highly Electroactive Polymers
摘要:
The syntheses of a series of 1,3-dithiole-2-thione derivatives (3-6), bearing fused terthiophene or bis(2-thienyl)-2,5-furan units, are reported. These novel heterocycles are readily polymerized electrochemically to give stable electroactive materials. The target compounds were obtained in moderate to high yield via the cyclization of the corresponding diketones or hydroxyketones, using phosphorus pentasulfide or acidic conditions. The ketones 12 and 17 were prepared directly from their hydroxy precursors by treatment with MnO2. The trans configuration of diketone 20 was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

A new series of oligothiophenes bearing electron deficient fluorene units have been prepared and characterised. The materials are functionalised by C8/C11 alkyl chains or triethylene glycol side groups, yet the higher oligomers remain poorly soluble. The absorption characteristics of a sexithiophene analogue (compound 3) have been studied by UV-vis and photoinduced absorption spectroscopy. Photovoltaic cells have been fabricated from blends of 3 and fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). The photocurrent spectrum of the device matches the absorption spectrum of the sexithiophene system which incorporates an intramolecular charge transfer band arising from the 1,3-dithiole-fluorene units. A modest power conversion efficiency of 0.1% was achieved.
