A series of star-shaped liquid crystals (LCs) with a phthalocyanine donor core, oligothiophene antennae and fullerene acceptors have been successfully prepared. This hierarchical self-Assembly results in a nanosegregated helical donor-Acceptor-Antennae LC-system promoted by the recently discovered Click procedure. This model system reveals all photophysical prerequisites for energy conversion, charge generation and transport. Uniform amorphous thin films of 150 nm could be produced by bar-coating. Annealing did not only induce the formation of columns via the Click procedure but also partially homeotropically aligned the non-clearing sample in a sandwich geometry (ITO and Ag/MoO3). This has been confirmed by microscopic studies and the measurement of photocurrent, which increased by a factor of 300 after the annealing step.

A noncryogenic protocol for the synthesis of 2-substituted 3-thienylboronic acids and esters as well as 3-substituted 2-thienylboronic acids and esters has been developed. Electrophiles were introduced regiospecifically in the 2-position of 2,3-dibromothiophene and in the 3-position of 2-bromo-3-iodothiophene by halogen-magnesium exchange followed by quenching with electrophiles. Palladium-catalyzed borylation of the 2,3-substituted halothiophenes with pinacolborane and P(t-Bu)3 as ligand for Pd produced 9 and 10. The borylation protocol was tolerated by a range of functional groups; however, strongly electron-withdrawing substituents decreased the stability of the thienylboronic acids and esters.
