title: Completely encapsulated oligothiophenes up to 12-mer.
abstract: A series of oligothiophenes covered with tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (TBDPS) groups was synthesized, and the spectroscopic measurements and X-ray analyses revealed that the oligothiophene backbone is completely encapsulated by bulky TBDPS groups.
