Caf. Striley et al., PREPARATION OF 3-LONG-CHAIN SUBSTITUTED 5-MEMBERED HETEROARYLENES ANDSTUDIES OF THEIR LANGMUIR-BLODGETT-FILM FORMATION, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 115, 1996, pp. 141-148
The synthesis of amphiphilic thiophene 1 and pyrrole 5 were achieved v
ia Wittig and Friedel-Crafts reactions respectively. The ability of 1
and 5, as well as 3-heptadecylthiophene and poly(3-heptadecylthiophene
), to form Langmuir-Blodgett films are discussed.
