Abstract

Compounds containing 2, 2 0-bithiophene, 2, 2 0-bifuran, and 2, 2 0-furanothiophene cores play important roles in material sciences [1], pharmaceutical [2], and agrochemical [3] fields. The various optical properties of these bichalcophenes have lead to their extensive use in nonlinear optical devices [4], sensors [5], solar cells [6], and other advanced materials. These bichalcophene units appear in important medicinal chemical applications including ...
