Synthesis and electrochemical properties of novel 1,3,5-tris(oligothienyl)benzenes: A new generation of 3D reticulating agents
Novel 1,3,5-tris(oligothienyl)benzenes have been synthesized by an efficient and very easy trimerization reaction and their optimized three-dimensional geometry has been determined by semiempirical computations. Their electrochemical behavior has been investigated; their electropolymerization with 2,2'-bithiophene led to the development of two- or three-dimensional conducting polymers.
