ABSTRACTIn this paper, the vibrational FT-Raman spectra obtained at different anodic potentials chosen in the oxidation and reduction branches of the voltamperometric waves of two α,α'-sexithiophenes end capped with n-hexyl and n-thiohexyl groups are investigated. In order to analyze the evolution of the atomic charges and bonth lengths on going from the neutral to the doped species some theoretical calculations have been carried out.

Theoretical calculations of the reactivity of dibenzothiophene and its methyl, dimethyl, and trimethyl derivatives show that local reactivity descriptors reproduce their experimental desulfurization reactivity trend if the first desulfurization step involves directly the sulfur atom, which only occurs if the sulfur atom is blocked at most by one methyl group. In the series of molecules{4,7-dimethyldibenzothiophene,x,4,7-trimethyldibenzothiophene (x=1,2,3)}, the most reactive molecule is 2,4,7-trimethyldibenzothiophene, and local descriptors show that the reactivity is linked to the activity of the sulfur atom, which is higher in 2,4,7-trimethyldibenzothiophene due to the position of the third methyl substitute, located in theparaposition with respect to the carbon bonded to the sulfur atom. The electrostatic potential of 2,4,7-trimethyldibenzothiophene shows one effective adsorption site, while 1,4,7-trimethyldibenzothiophene and 3,4,7-trimethyldibenzothiophene have more sites, contributing to the higher reactivity of 2,4,7-trimethyldibenzothiophene. The index of reactivity of other descriptors was evaluated and the effect of the position of the methyl substituents on adsorption parameters, as the dipole moment and the atomic charges were also studied.
