A 20 ml glass vessel equipped with a J. Young O-ring tap containing a magnetic stirring bar was flame-dried under vacuum and filled with argon. After cooling to room temperature, PdCl2 (8.8 mg, 50 mmol), 2,2'-bipyridyl (16 mg, 100 mmol), AgCO3(276 mg, 1 mmol) and dry m-xylene (1 ml) were added. The vessel was heated at 333 K for 20 min. To this vessel were added tetrathienonaphthalene (TTN) (70 mg, 0.198 mmol), 5-hexyl-2-iodothiophene (465 mg, 1.5 mmol) and m-xylene (2 ml) under argon. The vessel was sealed with the O-ring tap and heated at 393 K for 36 h. After cooling, the mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The crude product was purified through a silica-gel column (hexanes–CH2Cl2, 3:1 v/v, as eluent) to afford the final product, (I), as a light-yellow solid (yield 68.5 mg, 34%; decomposition >473 K). Single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in CH2Cl2.
Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 8.06 (4H, s), 7.05 (4H, d, J = 3.0 Hz), 6.45 (4H, d, J = 3.2 Hz), 2.72 (8H, t, J = 7.3 Hz), 1.74 (8H, m, J = 7.2 Hz), 1.50–1.30 (24H, m), 0.98 (12H, t, J = 7.3 Hz); 13C NMR (CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 138.1, 137.4, 134.8, 133.9, 133.6, 131.1, 127.1, 122.9, 120.7, 31.6, 31.7, 31.0, 29.1, 22.8, 14.4; UV–Vis: 240 (εmax = 72262 M-1 cm-1), 206 (εmax = 62762 M-1 cm-1). Analysis, calculated for C58H64S8: C 68.46, H 6.34, S 25.20%; found: C 68.39, H 6.70, N 25.11%.
The structure solution revealed positional disorder for one of the alkyl chains. The disordered fragments are located on general positions and are not related by any symmetry elements. Occupancy factors for the disordered fragments were successfully modelled in a ratio of 0.66:0.34 with stable refinement results. The positions of all H atoms were obtained from Fourier map analysis; subsequently, all H atoms were treated as idealized contributions, with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H or 1.2Ueq(C) for all others.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Fused-sulfur heteroarenes have been well investigated due to their potential applications in organic optoelectronic materials and devices (Murphy & Fréchet, 2007; Mishra et al., 2009). New synthetic methodologies and novel structures have been developed and significant effort has been devoted to the investigation of the relationship between their special intrinsic properties and their structures. Optimisation of the properties of this type of conjugated system in optoelectric devices involves maximizing π-orbital overlap by reducing the freedom of rotation in the oligomers and possibly inducing a densely packed crystal structure with face-to-face π-stacking motifs. Recently, divinylbenzene, naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene etc. (Didane et al., 2008; Kim et al., 2007; Meng et al., 2005; Merlo et al., 2005) have been successfully introduced into oligothiophenes to form fused thiophene derivatives, which have provided excellent stable semiconductor materials with relatively high band-gap energies and low-lying highest occupied molecular orbitals (EHOMO; HOMO is the highest occupied molecular orbital). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of these fused thiophene derivatives have provided some understanding of the relationship between the π-stacking interactions and the performance of the corresponding thin-film optoelectronic devices (Coropceanu et al., 2007; Sheraw et al., 2003). In this paper, we present the synthesis, characterization, crystal structure and photophysical properties of the title compound, (I)
Compound (I) was synthesized by Pd-catalyzed direct C—H arylation of tetrathienonaphthalene (TTN) using 5-hexyl-2-iodothiophene, and the crude product was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (1:1 hexane–CH2Cl2, RF = 0.55) to afford pure (I) in 34% yield as a pale-yellow solid. Single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in CH2Cl2.
Compound (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with two molecules in the unit cell. The molecular structure of (I) (Fig. 1) has inversion symmetry. The crystals of (I) are composed of relatively closely spaced continuous stacks of planar molecules, each slipped relative to its neighbours by a unit-cell translation along b. The distance between the nearest-neighbour planes is 3.456 (5) Å. The closest C···C intra-stack contact between atom C3 of the fused thiophene ring and atom C14 of the substituent thiophene ring per nearest-neighbour pair within a stack is 3.616 (5) Å, which is slightly longer than twice the van der Waals radius (Bondi, 1964). Also of note is that there are a number of S···C interactions [the shortest being 3.595 (4) Å between atoms S1 and C9(x, y - 1, z)] along the slipped π-stacks.
It is interesting to compare the crystal structure of (I) with that of the analogous tetrahexylthiophene-substituted tetrathienoanthracene (TTA), (II), which posesses an additional annulated phenyl group in the central skeleton (Leitch et al. 2012). Both structures crystallize in the monoclinic space group and slight propeller-like distortions were observed between the central tetrathiophene aromatic core and the hexylthiophene groups by rotation about the connecting C—C bonds. The dihedral angles between the two unique thiophene groups (defined as S3/C10/C7/C6 and S4/C14/C9/C6) are 10.9 (6) and 13.1 (5)°. respectively, for (I) [the corresponding values in (II) are 6.7 and 2.8 (3)°]. Furthermore, the packing of the molecules of (I) and (II) seems to be greatly affected by the hexyl chains. As is apparent from Figs. 3 and 4, the hexyl substituents in both compounds form an interdigitated network along the herringbone array. Two of the hexyl side chains in the molecule of (I) adopt an ordered extended conformation, while the other two hexyl chains adopt disordered folded conformations. In comparison, only the terminal C atoms of the hexyl chains in (II) are folded. The different fused-ring systems of (I) and (II), with the hexyl side chains inclining towards the available space, results in different interlayer distances, which are slightly larger in (I) than in (II) [distance between molecular planes is about 3.41 Å in (II) versus 3.456 (5) Å in (I)]. This result presumably reflects the stronger π-stacking for the more extended planar aromatic core in (II).
The organization of the stacks relative to each other differs between the two compounds (Figs. 3 and 4). In (II), there are elements of five stacks in the conventional unit cell, with the molecular planes of adjacent stacks tilted by about 89° relative to each other. In contrast, there are parts of six stacks in the unit cell of (II), with the molecular planes in the central stack inclined by 65.28 (8)° relative to those of its neighbours in (I) (see Fig. 2). Given the similarity in the intra-stack geometry and the differences in the inter-stack geometry, it is reasonable to conclude that the π-stacking is greatly affected by the aromatic core of the structures and the alkyl chains. These factors should be considered during the investigation of other conjugated compounds as optelectronic materials.
The UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra for (I) in CH2Cl2 are presented in Fig. 5. The strongest absorption band is observed at 388 nm and an obscure shoulder band is observed at 425 nm, which was assigned to the four-directional π-extension of hexylthiophene. In the fluorescence spectrum in CH2Cl2, compound (I) shows a structured emission with a maximum at 456 nm.
