9.11.4 Selenophenes

J. Schatz and M. Seßler

This manuscript is intended to update the first report on the synthesis of selenophenes in Science of Synthesis and will briefly summarize essential, more recent findings concerning this heterocyclic system in the first decade of the new millennium. During this time, applications of selenophene-based materials in organic electronics and photonics received considerable interest, and selenophene-containing p-conjugated compounds have been proposed as organic magnetic materials.

J. Schatz and M. Seßler

This manuscript is intended to update the earlier report on the synthesis of tellurophenes in Science of Synthesis, and summarizes essential, more recent findings concerning this heterocyclic system in the first decade of the new millennium. The decade 2000-2010 saw an increasing interest in organic molecules as functional materials, shifting the focus away from biological or pharmaceutical application. This trend could especially be observed for thiophenes, leading, not surprisingly, also to an increasing pursuit of potential applications of tellurophenes.
