F. Cherioux et L. Guyard, Synthesis and electrochemical properties of novel 1,3,5-tris(oligothienyl)benzenes: A new generation of 3D reticulating agents, ADV FUNCT M, 11(4), 2001, pp. 305-309
Novel 1,3,5-tris(oligothienyl)benzenes have been synthesized by an efficien
t and very easy trimerization reaction and their optimized three-dimensiona
l geometry has been determined by semiempirical computations. Their electro
chemical behavior has been investigated; their electropolymerization with 2
,2'-bithiophene led to the development of two- or three-dimensional conduct
ing polymers.
