Abstract
A practical synthesis of nonsymmetrical thiophene-fused aromatic systems has been developed that was inspired by the biodegradation of benzothiophene. For the first time, the photophysical properties of a series of π-conjugated benzo[ b ]naphtho[1,2- d ]thiophene (BNT) sulfoxides were explored both in solution and in the solid state. The excellent fluorescence characteristics enable various applications of these compounds.
