description

Oligo(phenyleneethynylene)s 1 are rod-like compounds with undisturbed conjugation. In supplementation of the previously described members of this series 1a−e, with repeating units of up to n = 5, this work contains the preparation of higher oligomers 1f−i (n = 6, 7, 8, 10) through the use of the Sonogashira−Hagihara reaction. Both the absorption and the fluorescence bands showed convergence for increasing values of n, reaching limiting values at the effective conjugation length of nECL = 10.
