Synthesis and characterization of pi-extended bowl-shaped pi-conjugated molecules

Chem Commun (Camb). 2007 May 21:(19):1902-4. doi: 10.1039/b701322a.

Abstract

A series of pi-extended bowl-shaped pi-conjugated compounds were synthesized from sumanene and characterized, and among them the terthiophene derivative showed a remarkable red-shifted absorption and small band gap, which wa rationalized by molecular orbital calculation.
