title: Preparation and characterization of alpha,alpha'-bisdiarylamino-capped oligothiophenes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A series of alpha,alpha'-bisdiarylamino-capped oligothiophenes C(n) were prepared by the palladium-catalyzed reaction of the dibromo compounds A(i) with diarylamines, N,N-diarylamino-substituted thiophenes or 2,2'-bithiophenes BX(j). These easily oxidizable compounds exhibit a high tendency to form amorphous glasses and characteristic electrochemical and spectroscopic properties that depend significantly on the number of their thiophene moieties.
