A fully functionalised thiophene unit
Used for the synthesis of electron deficient thieno[3,4-b]thiadiazoles or thienopyrazines in application of organic solar cells and photodetectors
2,5-Dibromo-3,4-dinitrothiophene (CAS number 52431-30-8) is a fully substituted thiophene unit with two electron withdrawing nitro groups at 3,4-positions and two bromo functional groups at 2,5-postions. Nitro groups can be reduced to amino groups to further form thienopyrazines and thieno[3,4-b]thiadiazole. Bromo groups gives the functionality for C-C formation reactions, i.e. Stille or Suzuki couplings.
DPTP-4D, a 2,3-diphenylthieno[3,4-b]pyrazine based small molecule containing tetrakis-triphenyl amino donors, could be synthesised from simple, low cost and readily available 2,5-dibromo-3,4-dinitrothiophene. Being an effective hole-transporting material, DPTP-4D can be used to replace Spiro-OMeTAD and PTAA. It gained a PCE of 20.18% with high environmental, thermal, and light-soaking stability in PSC n-i-p planar devices.
Small molecule photodetectors (SMPDs) based on thieno[3,4-b]thiadiazole, also derived from 2,5-dibromo-3,4-dinitrothiophene showed a high detectivity of 5.0 × 1011 Jones at 800 nm at the bias of -0.1 V. With a sufficiently thin silver electrode, visibly transparent PDs with an average transmittance of 45% in the visible region were fabricated.
