Intermolecular interactions in pi-stacked conjugated molecules. Synthesis, structure, and spectral characterization of alkyl bithiazole oligomers.

Syntheses are reported of new 4,4'-dialkyl-2,2'-bithiazole oligomers that have alkenoxy side chains that are capable of easy conversion to oligomers with functionalized side chains, e.g., terminally substituted hydroxy chains.
