Abstract
Six quinoidal compounds terminated by oxindole have been synthesized via selective nucleophilic addition, dehydroxylation, and oxidation. Through the modification of the quinoidal core and terminal benzene rings with fluoride atoms or cyano groups, the LUMO energy levels of the quinoidal compounds can be tuned within the range −4.05 to −4.54 eV. The quinoidal molecules exhibited electron transport behavior and can be used as dopants to dope an oligo(ethylene glycol)-substituted polythiophene.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
