The use of the congested aryl bromide 2-bromo-1,3-dichlorobenzene as coupling partner allows to modify the regioselectivity of the arylation of 3-substituted thiophene derivatives in favour of carbon C5. The coupling of this aryl bromide with a variety of 3-substituted thiophenes gave in all cases the desired 5-arylation products in moderate to good yields using only 0.5 mol % of a phosphine-free and air-stable palladium catalyst. Then, from these 5-arylthiophenes, a second palladium-catalysed C-H bond functionalization at C2 of the thiophene ring allows the synthesis of 2,5-diarylthiophenes with two different aryl units.

A palladium-catalyzed cyclization-carbonylation of 2-alkynyl primary benzamides afforded methyl 3-substituted 1-methoxyisoquinoline-4-carboxylates in good to moderate yields. In the case of mesylate , was obtained directly via a cyclization-carbonylation-cyclization cascade. Compounds were converted to isoquinolin-1(2)-ones in good yields under microwave irradiation.

Five molecular mesogens containing phenyl rings and thiophene are subjected to a detailed C NMR investigation. The first mesogen contains only phenyl rings, while the other four have thiophene with substitution at position 2 or 3. Two of these also have a spacer inserted between the thiophene and the rest of the core unit.

Conjugated polymer frameworks (CPFs) have recently sparked tremendous research interest due to their broad potentials in various frontline application areas such as photocatalysis, sensing, gas storage, energy storage, etc. These framework materials, without sidechains or functional groups on their backbone, are generally insoluble in common organic solvents and less solution processable for further device applications. There are few reports on metal-free electrocatalysis, especially oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using CPF.

Efficient methods for monitoring sulfonamides (SAs) in water and animal-source foods are of great importance to achieve environmental safety and protect human health. Here, we demonstrate a reusable and label-free electrochemical sensor for the rapid and sensitive detection of sulfamethizole based on an electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film as the recognition layer. To achieve effective recognition, monomer screening among four kinds of 3-substituted thiophenes was performed by computational simulation and subsequent experimental evaluation, and 3-thiopheneethanol was finally selected.

Three new cationic cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes equipped with differently substituted benzo[]thiophen-2-ylquinoline cyclometalating ligands and with a sterically demanding -butyl-substituted 2,2'-bipyridine ancillary ligand were synthesized and structurally characterized by NMR and X-ray diffraction techniques. To tune the electronic properties of such complexes, the quinoline moiety of the cyclometalating ligands was kept pristine or equipped with electron-withdrawing phenyl and -CF substituents, leading to complexes , , and , respectively. A complete electrochemical and photophysical investigation, supported by density functional theory calculations, permits a deep understanding of their electronic properties.
