Construction d’oligomères conjugués par ingénierie moléculaire Les séquences thiénylènes dialkoxybenzenes très conjuguées grâce à l’interaction non covalente S…O In these compounds there is a large energy gap ΔEπ arising from the interaction between the molecular orbitals of the isolated thienylene-dialkoxyphenylene species. This can be explained in terms of the energies of the two π orbitals of the dimethoxyphenylene unit, the shape of these molecular orbitals in a three-orbital interaction diagram and by the presence of the S···O interaction which reduces the inter-ring angle between the two aromatic cycles. The nature of the sulfur–oxygen interaction, discussed from a theoretical point of view, is mainly electrostatic, the orbital contribution from the only correctly directed orbitals nOσ and σ*S–C being slightly stabilising. These results show extensive conjugation of the π system with a small HOMO– LUMO gap and how important it is to combine thienylene and dialkoxyphenylene fragments to obtain oligomers with a strong electronic delocalisation.

Caractérisation de l’interaction S…O par spectroscopie IR dans le bas domaine Non-covalent S⋯O interactions are studied in oligo(thienylene-2,5-dialkoxyphenylene). Farinfrared measurements coupled to density functional theory are used. The most sensitive modes to the S⋯O interactions are located around 300 cm−1. They are assigned to in-plane shear of thiophene rings coupled to the methoxy groups. Far-infrared spectroscopy investigation of sulfur-oxygen interactions in pi-conjugated oligomers. P.

Compréhension du rôle des fragments pour élaborer des oligomères pi-conjugués Thienylene phenylene oligomers with fluorinated and dialkoxylated phenylene fragments have been designed and prepared. UV photoelectron spectroscopy and DFT calculations highlight how the resulting strong conjugation depends on the energetics of the π orbitals of the molecular fragments, which are related to the nature of the substituents (F, OMe) on the phenylene groups Comprehensive analysis of fragments orbitals interactions to build highly -conjugated thienylene-substituted phenylene oligomers J.-C.
