Abstract

Abstract : The synthesis for monobrominated benzothioxanthene is reported, which is then employed in common palladium catalyzed coupling reactions for novel organic semiconductors. Abstract : A selective and efficient method to afford a monobrominated benzothioxanthene (Br-BTXI ) derivative is reported.Br-BTXI was extensively employed in common palladium catalyzed coupling reactions. Finally, as a proof of concept, aBTXI based molecular donor was synthesized and evaluated in bulk heterojunction solar cells.
