Preparation and Characterization of a Novel Organic Semiconductor Indacenedithiophene Derivative and the Corresponding Langmuir-Blodgett Thin Films.

The synthesis of a novel indacenedithiophene derivative (IDT-DPA) is described, which exhibits semiconducting behavior. Its properties were measured by means of UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopies using toluene as solvent. An extinction molar coefficient of 2.

1H and 13C NMR characteristics of synthetic derivatives of steroid sapogenins. Part III. 16Beta,23:23,26-diepoxy side chains.

The full assignments of the (1)H and (13)C NMR signals of steroids bearing the 16beta,23:23,26-diepoxy side chain are provided. Differentiation of the diasterotopic H-26 pair was achieved with the aid of NOESY experiments. The main substituent and steric effects associated with this moiety and their influence on the chemical shifts of the neighboring atoms are discussed.
