Oligothiophenes coupled to cyclophanes are shown to exhibit interesting optical properties. The molecule shown in the Figure is synthesized by dimerizing a substituted bithiophene using iron trichloride. The materials are thought to have potential in nonlinear optical and light-emitting diode applications.
