A series of hybrid tetrathiafulvalene-oligothiophene compounds has been synthesised, where the tetrathiafulvalene unit is fused at each side to an end-capped oligothiophene chain of varying length (terthiophene, quinquithiophene and septithiophene). Each hybrid structure (1-3) has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and triple EPR-UV-Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry in the case of the quinquithiophene compound (2). Comparison is made with the corresponding half-units, which lack the fulvalene core and contain just one oligothiophene chain. The highest hole mobility of quinquithiophene-TTF 2 was obtained from field effect transistors (8.61 × 10-3 cm 2 V-1 s-1); its surface morphology was characterised by tapping mode atomic force microscopy and a power conversion of 2.5% was achieved from a bulk heterojunction organic solar cell device using PC71BM as the acceptor.

Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalizations promoted by transient directing groups remain largely limited to C-H arylation only. Herein, we report a diverse set of ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalizations of benzaldehyde substrates using the transient directing group strategy. Without installing any auxiliary directing group, Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H arylation, chlorination, bromination, and Ir(III)-catalyzed amidation, could be achieved on benzaldehyde substrates. The transient directing groups formed in situ via imine linkage can override other coordinating functional groups capable of directing C-H activation or catalyst poisoning, significantly expanding the scope for metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization of benzaldehydes. The utility of this approach is demonstrated through multiple applications, including late-stage diversification of a drug analogue.

Making light work of chromism: Enantioselective photochromic ring-closing reactions of three bisthienylethene compounds possessing either no or two hydroxy groups were carried out in the hydrophobic pockets of human serum albumin (HSA) in aqueous media. When 10 equivalents of HSA were used, 1,2-bis(5-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-3-thienyl)hexafluorocyclopentene predominantly produced the S,S closed form (see scheme; O=open, C=closed), in 63 % ee at RT and 71 % ee at -4°C upon irradiation with 313 nm light.
