title: Diselenolodiselenole: a selenium containing fused heterocycle for conjugated systems.
abstract: The synthesis of new conjugated building blocks, diselenolodiselenole (C4Se4) derivatives, is described for the first time. The structural and optoelectronic properties of C4Se4-derivatives are tuned by varying end-capping aromatic substituents. In cyclic voltammetry, all C4Se4-derivatives show two reversible oxidation peaks.
