Oligothiophenes: Synthesis and Optoelectronic Properties

Oligothiophenes give a magnificent opportunity to explore its different synthesis and uses as in optoelectrical devices nowadays. In contrast, oligothiophenes afford higher purity and easy modification with several functional groups than their polymer counterparts. Recent work on functional oligothiophenes of advanced materials for organic electronic devices has been developed. In this study, the synthesis and characterisation of linear and fused oligothiophenes (e.g., oxidative coupling, palladium catalysed C-H homocoupling and cross-coupling) emphasises applications in various areas are addressed.
