“…617 Synthesis of a poly[tetra(2,3-thienylene)] P4.16 was realized by typical Ni 0 -catalyzed cross-coupling polymerization of halogenated tetramer 4.16, which in turn was prepared effectively from quaterthiophene 4.15 by oxidative coupling in 48% yield (Scheme 4.3). 615,616 The polymer, a poly([8]-annulene), which was soluble in organic solvents due to the butyl side chains, showed electronic properties typical for polythiophenes; a measurement of actuation, however, could not be obtained.…”

Amaresh Mishra (right) received his Ph.D. degree in 2000 from the Sambalpur University, India, under the coguidance of Prof. G. B. Behera and Prof. R. K. Behera, working on dye-surfactant interactions in microheterogeneous media. He started his postdoctoral research career in 1999 at the University of South Florida, Tampa, and subsequently at the University of Akron, Ohio, working with Prof. G. R. Newkome, where he gained knowledge in the area of supramolecular and dendrimer chemistry. Later, he joined the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, in 2002 as a Visiting Fellow working with Prof. N. Periasamy, where he was involved in the synthesis and photophysical studies of organic light emitting materials. In 2005, he joined in the group of Prof. Peter Ba ¨uerle, University of Ulm, Germany, as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. His present research interests are centered on chemistry of functional oligothiophenes, donor-acceptor-based conjugated dyes, and metal complexes toward applications in solar energy conversion and molecular electronic and photonic devices. Chang-Qi Ma (left) received his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Beijing Normal University in 1998. In 2003 he obtained his Ph.D. degree at the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing with Professor B.-W. Zhang. After that he was a postdoctoral research assistant at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, U.K., with Dr. G. Cooke, until he joined the research group of Prof. P. Ba ¨uerle at the University of Ulm in 2004 as an Alexander von Humboldt fellow, where he is currently a research associate. His main research interests focus on the design and synthesis of novel π-conjugated organic materials for the application in organic electronics, e.g. organic solar cells.Peter Ba ¨uerle (center) received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from University of Stuttgart (Germany, 1985) working with Prof. F. Effenberger. After a postdoctoral year at MIT, Boston, Massachusetts, in the group of Prof. M. S. Wrighton, he carried out independent research at the University of Stuttgart and received his habilitation (1994). After being Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Wu ¨rzburg (Germany, 1994-95), he became Director of the Institute for Organic Chemistry II and Advanced Materials at the University of Ulm (Germany, since 1996). Current research interests of the group include development of novel organic semiconducting and conducting materials, in particular, conjugated poly-and oligothiophenes. Synthetic strategies and new reactions for their functionalization, structure-property relationships, self-assembling properties, and applications in electronic devices, in particular organic solar cells, are investigated. Results have been published in about 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, 3 book chapters, and 7 patents. For his work in the field of plastic electronics he was awarded with the Rene ´Descartes Prize of the European Union (2000). Guest Professorships at the University of Osaka (Japan, 2002), U...

“…The authors later polymerized compound 108 due to their interest in the development of polymeric electromechanical actuator devices. They hoped to take advantage of the helical conformation of the racemic annulene 108 by promoting redox-induced conformational changes, which could result in the desired expansion and contraction of the polymeric backbone, i.e., molecular actuation [47].…”

“…Cycloadditions are among the most efficient reactions in the repertoire of ring-forming procedures for generating increased molecular complexity [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. These reactions are usually accompanied by the formation of carboncarbon bonds and are achieved under photochemical or thermal conditions.…”
