Alternate thiophene/furan oligomers having four and six heterocycles, ie, oligo (thienylfuran) dimer and trimer 2 (n= 4 and 6), were newly synthesized by repetitive Stille coupling reactions. The structural, electronic, and optical properties of these oligomers were investigated by X-ray crystallography (for n= 4), cyclic voltammetry (CV), UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and DFT calculations, and the results were compared with ...
