Abstract
The synthesis and the optical and electrochemical properties of 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole based thiophene oligomers with chemical modifications either on the phenyl side group or on the backbone are presented. All data, supported by DFT calculations, show that modification on the backbone has a major impact on the electronic properties while the side groups can fine-tune the electronic properties. In addition, one compound exhibits a thermotropic mesophase.
