1,3,5-Tris(2-thienyl)benzene is a trifunctionalized monomer that can be used in the synthesis of conjugated C3-symmetric poly(arylbenzene) polymers. These polymeric materials can further be used in organic photovoltaic devices as well as organic field effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light emitting diodes (OLED) systems.
1,3,5-Tris(2-thienyl)benzene is a 1,3,5 tris substituted benzene that has a three dimensional structure which facilitates the preparation of conjugating polymers. It is a branched conductive monomer with electronically attached nodes that provide a suitable support to increase the conductivity of the synthesized polymers.
