Selenophenes as hetero-analogues of thiophene-based materials

Selenophenes as Hetero-analogues of Thiophene-based Materials 

Handbook of Thiophene-based Materials Application in Organic Electronics and Photonics Edited by Igor F. Per ichka and Dmitrii F. Perepichka 2009 John Wiley Sons, Ltd 

This chapter outlines the scope and limitations of selenophenes as advanced electronic materials and includes current topics of functionalized selenophenes and quinoidal selenophenes, which are roughly classified into conducting, electroactive and field effect transistor (FET) materials. 

Inoue et al. prepared a series of poly(oligoselenophene)s (4-6) by electropolymerization of oligoselenophenes [41]. The conductivities of these films under iodine doping are essentially equal to that of polyselenophene (3) (1.5 x 10 Scm ) prepared in a similar manner poly(biselenophene) (4), 1.1x10 Scm (1x10 Scm ) [42] poly(terselenophene) (5), 1.2x10 Scm and poly(quaterselenophene) (6), 1.2 x 10 Scm .
