Core-extended rylene dyes via thiophene annulation.
Annulation of thiophenes directly into the bay regions of rylene dyes through effective Stille coupling and subsequent ring-fusion under Scholl conditions leads to core-extended rylene tetracarboxylic diimides with interesting electro-optical properties.
