New π-cojugated materials for molecular electronic and light-emitting devices

The synthesis and characterisation of a range of oligo(aryleneethynylene)derivatives end-capped with cyanoethylthio and acetylthio groups are described. Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions have been key steps. These molecules are designed as molecular wires for conductance studies, including single...
