Thienothiophene, for the synthesis of small molecules and polymers

Available online for fast, secure dispatch

Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene, also known as thienothiophene (TT), is a heterocyclic compound. It belongs to the family of fused thiophenes and is widely used as an intermediate for the synthesis of small molecules and polymers in the application of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaic devices (OPV).

Fused thiophenes are more electron-rich and more structurally rigid, with extended π-conjugation so they are good candidates for adjusting the band gap of the organic polymer semiconducting materials, i.e. Poly[2,5-bis(3-hexadecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (also known as PBTTT).

pbttt synthesis with 2,5-bis(trimethylstannyl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene and 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'-didodecyl-2,2'-bithiophene or 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'-dihexadecyl-2,2'-bithiophene or 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'-ditetradecyl-2,2'-bithiophene
PBTTT-C12 (R = dodecyl), PBTTT-C14 (R = tetradecyl), PBTTT-C16 (R = hexadecyl) synthesis with 2,5-bis(trimethylstannyl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene and 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'-alkyl-2,2'-bithiophene via Stille Coupling polymerisation
