Six thiophene-based chalcone derivatives were synthesized, and their structure–property relationship was investigated systematically. Small molecules as they are, they have showed favorable Φ and σ values in the near-IR region.
A series of dipolar and quadrupolar dimesitylboryl (BMes2) derivatives containing different thiophene oligomers as the central conjugated bridge to which are appended BMes2 substituents at both ends have been investigated...
