Branched oligothiophene silanes with the efficient nonradiative energy transfer between the fragments

The synthesis of new dendrimers and branched oligothiophene silanes containing bithiophene groups at the periphery and quaterthiophene fragments at the center of the molecule is described. Specific features of bithiophene silane bromination were shown, and the conditions for the efficient synthesis of methyltris(5-bromo-2,2'-bithiophen-5-yl)silane have been found for the first time. The optical properties of the synthesized compounds were studied. The efficiency of the electron excitation energy transfer between the fragments of branched bi-and quaterthiophene silanes was measured.
