Photochromism of diarylethene derivatives bearing a benzo[b]silole unit
摘要:
Photochromic benzo[b]silole derivatives, 1-(1,1-dimethyl-2-phenylbenzo[b]silol-3-yl)-2-(2-phenylbenzo[b]thien-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene and 1-(1,1-dimethyl-2-phenylbenzo[b]silol-3-yl)-2-(2-phenyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene, were synthesized and their photochromic performance was examined in solution.

Modular Synthesis of Functionalized Benzosiloles by Tin-Mediated Cyclization of (o-Alkynylphenyl)silane
摘要:
Trimethylstannyllithium promotes cyclization of (o-alkynylphenyl) silane into a 3-stannylbenzosilole, via addition to the triple bond followed by intramolecular cyclization in a cascade fashion. This intermediate can be functionalized with either electrophiles or nucleophiles to allow modular synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted benzosiloles. One of these compounds, a phenylene-bis (benzosilole) compound, shows electron drift mobility as high as 6 x 10(-4) cm(2/)Vs in an amorphous film, making this class of compounds promising electronic materials for organic light emitting devices and organic photovoltaic cells.
