Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Fused Thiophenes: [7]Helicene and Double Helicene, a D2-Symmetric Dimer of 3,3′-Bis(dithieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]thiophene)
文摘
The efficient synthesis of (TMS)2-[7]helicene (rac-3) and double helicene, a D2-symmetric dimer of 3,3′-bis(dithieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]thiophene) (rac-4) was developed. The crystal structures of 3 and 4 show both strong intermolecular π-π interactions and S···S interactions. UV/vis spectra reveal that both 3 and 4 show significant π-electron delocalization.
