Solid-phase synthesis of isomerically pure head-to-tail-coupled (HT) oligo(3-hexylthiophene)s on chloromethylated polystyrene resin has been developed. Using novel sequences of iodination and Suzuki cross-coupling reaction, a series up to a dodecamer has been synthesized in high yield and purity. Removal of the conjugated oligomers from solid support as methyl esters, saponification and decarboxylation to the HT-coupled oligo(3-alkylthiophene)s could be effectively achieved.

An efficient and scalable strategy to prepare libraries of discrete conjugated oligomers (D = 1.0) using the combination of controlled polymerization and automated flash chromatography is reported. From this two-step process, a series of discrete conjugated materials from dimers to tetradecamers could be isolated in high yield with excellent structural control. Facile and scalable access to monodisperse libraries of different conjugated oligomers opens pathways to designer mixtures with precise composition and monomer sequence, allowing exquisite control over their physical, optical, and electronic properties.

The common trend in designing dyes for use in DSSCs with iodide-based electrolyte is based on a donor-π spacer-acceptor (D-π-A) architecture. Here, we report two 'donor-free' cyanoacrylic end-functionalized oligo(3-hexylthiophene) dyes (5T and 6T). Despite having no donor group, both dyes show reversible first oxidation process. Both 5T and 6T have n-hexyl alkyl chains to retard aggregation at different positions as well as different numbers of thiophene moieties. However, the dyes showed similar absorption properties and redox potentials. The DSSCs based on these dyes give power conversion efficiencies of more than 7%, although a significant difference in the VOC and FF has been observed. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, this is attributed to the presence of more trap states when 6T attaches to TiO2 and modifies the surface, mainly affecting the fill factor. Overall, these dyes introduce a new and effective design concept for liquid-electrolyte DSSC sensitisers.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an organic coloring matter MK-2 in a short period of time and in a good yield.SOLUTION: The method for producing an organic coloring matter MK-2 comprises: a first step of coupling 3-hexylthiophene in the presence fo an iodine catalyst and an activator to synthesize a thiophene dimer having two thiophene molecules bonded (H-T bithiophene); a second step of halogenating a 5-position of the resultant H-T bithiophene; a third step of substituting halogen at a 5-position of the resultant halogenated H-T bithiophene with a 9-ethylcarbazolyl group; a fourth step of halogenating a 5'-position of the resultant 9-ethylcarbazolyl H-T bithiophene; a fifth step of bonding H-T bithiophene to the resultant halogenated body to form a thiophene tetramer; a sixth step of folmylating a thiophene terminal of the resultant thiophene tetramer; and a seventh step of reacting the resultant formylated body with a cyanoacetic acid to produce the MK-2.
