High-quality 2,6-Dibromodithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]thiophene

Widely used as intermediate for semiconducting molecules, oligomers, and conjugated polymer synthesis for the applications of OFETs and OPVs.

2,6-Dibromodithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]thiophene (2,6-Dibromo-DTT, CAS number 67061-69-2) is a bis-brominated derivates of thieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]thiophene (DTT), which have unique electronic properties due to its planar, conjugated, sulfur-rich, and highly thermally stable structure, contains three annulated thiophene rings and is one of the six isomers of DTTs. DTTs having planar and rigid structures show intense electronic absorption, good hole mobility and high stability. In particular, being closely packed, rigid and planar structures lead to better charge injection efficiency in solid state.

The synthesis of 2,6-bis(dicyanomethylene)-2,6-dihydrodithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene

2,6-Dibromodithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]thiophene is synthesised by reacting thieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]thiophene with N-Bromosuccinimide in dimethylformamide (DMF).Treatment of 2,6-dibromodithieno(3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene with tetracyanoethylene oxide in 1,2-dibromoethane under reflux gives 2,6-bis(dicyanomethylene)-2,6-dihydrodithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene as violet deep fine crystals.
