| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Oligothiophenes have been used in many high-technological applications including OLEDs, OFETs and OPVs. However, their synthesis is usually required complicated multi-step processes and toxic transition metal catalysts.
On the other hand, the integrated use of microflow technology for organic electrosynthesis would offer one of the most sophisticated processes in organic chemistry. In the present work, we have successfully developed the novel electrosynthetic system for the preparation of oligothiophenes without their deposition using a flow microreactor. Molecular weight and its distribution of oligothiophenes could be controlled by selecting the reaction conditions.
