Chemical Properties
clear colorless to yellow liquid
Uses
Selenophene may be used:
- as conjugated linker in the synthesis of organic dyes
- in the synthesis of selenophene-2-carbonitrile
- in the synthesis of selenophene diketopyrrolopyrrole polymers
- as building block for the electrically conducting polyalkyl selenophene
Definition
ChEBI: A five-membered monocyclic heteroarene composed of four CH units and one selenium atom. The parent of the class of selenophenes.
General Description
Selenophene is a heterocyclic building block. Synthesis of selenophene-based heteroacenes has been reported. Synthesis of selenophene-thiophene block copolymers has been reported. The electron transmission spectra of selenophene has been recorded in the 0-6eV energy range.
