Functionalized p-phenylene sulfides synthesis of new molecular wires

Molecular wires containing p-phenylene sulfide units were synthesized. They could be used in material sciences and in supramolecular chemistry. Wires having 2 to 6 phenyl rings were functionalized at one end by an SH or SMe group, and at the other end, by an OH, OMe or OiPr groups. Formation of Ar-S bonds in the chain was achieved by Pd- or Cu-catalyzed couplings of aromatic thiols with aromatic halides. Conditions for a clean chemoselective deprotection of thiols from thiomethyl groups were developed.

Synthesis of p-phenylene sulfide molecular asterisks

'Megastars' with aromatic central cores, some of which fluoresce, were synthesized by the efficient connection of the side arms to the core by using the MacNicol reaction. Depending on the length of the side arm precursor, second-, third- (depicted), or f
