Synthesis of 10-nm Scale Oligothiophene Molecular Wires Bearing Anchor Units at Both Terminal Positions

摘要

Oligothiophenes with the length of ca.10 nm bearing anchor units (a protected thiol group or trimethylsilylethynyl) at both terminal positions in the conjugated backbone have been synthesized by the block-coupling synthetic strategy. Their electronic properties were clarified by spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements.
