Abstract
Nitrogen-bridged donor-acceptor multifused dithienopyrrolobenzothiadiazole (DTPBT) and dibenzothiadiazolopyrrolothiophene (DBTPT) were successfully synthesized by intramolecular Cadogan annulation. The electron-deficient benzothiadiazole unit in DTPBT can be converted to benzoselenadiazole and quinoxaline moieties through reduction/cyclization to generate dithienopyrrolobenzoselenadiazole (DTPBSe) and dithienopyrroloquinoxaline (DTPQX), respectively. The nitrogen atoms function as the bridges for covalent planarization to induce intermolecular interaction and intramolecular charge transfer.
