Abstract

Several methodologies for the selective deprotection acetylenes have been reported previously. However, as is shown here, they are often not reliable or convenient. Here, an approach is reported that is efficient and general. Use of this approach to synthesize several two-and three-armed oligo (phenylene ethynylene) molecules with differentiated end groups is reported. In addition, preliminary characterization of the fluorescent properties of some ...
