Two conjugated copolymers, PPTQT and PTTQT, were developed based on thiadiazoloquinoxalines connected via ethynylene π-spacer to thiophene units. PPTQT showed maximum hole and electron mobility of 0.028 and 0.042 cm(2)/V s, respectively, being the first example of an ambipolar semiconducting material bearing triple bonds in the polymer backbone.
The synthesis of π-conjugated acceptors based on thiadiazoloquinoxaline (TQ) derivatives is described. Apart from reporting on the functionalization of the TQ core, the influence of the substituents was studied by UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry measurements, and DFT calculations. By changing the donor as well as the π-spacer, a fine-tuning of the photo- and electrochemical properties was achieved.
Keywords: Benzodiazepines / C-C coupling / Cyclocondensation / Fluorescence / Microwave-assisted reactions / Multicomponent reactions 2,4-Disubstituted benzodiazepines are readily synthesized in good yields from acyl chlorides, terminal alkynes, and benzene-1,2-diamines by a consecutive one-pot, three-component Sonogashira coupling/Michael addition/cyclocondensation sequence. These diazepines display intense solid-state fluorescence, but only weak emission in solution at room temperature. The absorption and emission maxima can be controlled by the substitution pattern. Upon cooling, how-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
