title: An oxidative coupling route to macrocyclic thiophenes and its application in the synthesis of a donor/acceptor hybrid molecule.
abstract: A route towards phenylene-bithiophene macrocycles via oxidative thiophene coupling under pseudo-high dilution conditions is reported. This method is applied to the synthesis of a shape-persistent thiophene macrocycle with extraannularly attached perylenebisimide moieties that forms supramolecular aggregates at the solid/liquid interface.
