Comment top

The title compound, (I), has been shown to be an excellent precursor for the production of low-band-gap conjugated polymers and organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) (Thomas et al., 2002 or 2000?), etc. Standard procedures including bromination, nitration and a palladium catalysed aromatic C—N coupling reaction were used to synthesize the donor–π-acceptor-type compound, (I), in high yield (see scheme). The compound is soluble in organic solvents and was considerably purified by column chromatography.

The structure can be regarded as consisting of alternating (010) layers. X-ray data show that the double bonds of (I) are shorter [C2—C3 = 1.353 (3) Å] than those of the parent thiophene [C2—C3 = 1.370 (2) Å], while the C—C single bond is slightly elongated [C3—C4 = 1.425 (3) Å] compared with the parent thiophene [C3—C4 = 1.423 (2) Å] (Bak et al., 1961). This bond localization in (I) can be attributed to the donor–π-acceptor nature of the substituents, as well as steric repulsion between the two NO2 groups.

Experimental top

A two-necked round-bottomed flask was charged with Pd(OAc)2 (1 mmol% per halogen atom), t-BuONa (1.2 equivalents per halogen atom), 2,5-dibromo-3,4-dinitrothiophene (1.66 g, 5 mmol) and diphenylamine (1.68 g, 10 mmol). Dry toluene was added and the reaction mixture was stirred under nitrogen for 10 min. Tri-tert-butylphosphine (2 mmol%) in dry toluene was added through a syringe (1.0 mmol of the phosphine in 1 ml of dry toluene). The reaction mixture was heated at 363 K for 20 h. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with ether and the organic phase was washed with water and brine. After drying over anhydrous MgSO4 and removing the volatiles, the residue was purified by column chromatography using CH2Cl2/n-hexane as eluent, followed by recrystallization from CH2Cl2 and MeOH. Crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were grown from a CH2Cl2 solution layered with hexane at room temperature. The compound was obtained as a red solid in 79% yield. FAB MS: m/e 509 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.09 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 8H, ortho-C6H5), 7.15 (t, J = 7.3 Hz, 4H, para-C6H5), 7.31 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 8H, meta-C6H5). Analysis calculated for C28H20N4O4S: C 66.13, H 3.96, N 11.02%; found: C 66.35, H 3.67, N 11.42%.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
