Tuning the Electronic Properties of a Nitro- and Cyano-Functionalized Benzothienoquinolizinium Salt as Potential Organic N-Type Semiconductor: Experimental and Theoretical Study
A new nitro- and cyano-functionalized, tetradecyl-substituted benzothienoquinolizinium tetrafluoroborate was synthesized through oxidative photocyclisation of a pyridinium precursor and evaluated as a potential small molecule N-type organic semiconductor. The precursor and the photocyclised salts were characterized by...
