Abstract
Based on the selectivity of deprotonation of 5,5'-bistrimethylsilyl-2,3'-bithiophene (4) in the presence of n-BuLi, three new cyclooctatetrathiophenes (COThs), COTh-1, COTh-2, and COTh-3 have been efficiently developed via intermolecular or intramolecular cyclizations. Their crystal structures clearly show that the different connectivity sequence of the thiophene rings in the molecules. The CV data and UV-vis absorbance spectra of COThs are also described. In addition, the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations accurately reproduce experimental observations and afford band assignment.
