Summary: A series of novel p-extended 11-ring-fused linear thienoacenes were synthesized and characterized. The photophysical, electrochemical, and thermal properties of these compounds with different fused lengths and substituent groups were investigated. The stability of these aromatic thienoacenes was found to be better than that of acenes. The single crystal structure of BBDTB-TIPS revealed a molecular length of 22.42 A, making it the longest reported single crystal of a linear thienoacene. The aromaticity of each ring in BBDTB-H was determined using NICS and ACID calculations. Preliminary investigations on thienoacene-based OFETs were also conducted.

Summary: In this work, a portable analytical system based on point discharge chemical vapor generation atomic emission spectrometry (PD-CVG-AES) coupling with gold filament enrichment was designed. The highly sensitive analysis of Hg2+ indirectly realized the detection of ascorbic acid (AA). The measurement is based on the fact that Ag+ can decrease the concentration of Hg2+ by forming Ag-Hg amalgam in the presence of the reductant SnCl2, while AA can pre-reduce Ag+ to Ag0, leading to the generation of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The developed novel analytical strategy broadens the application of microplasma-based AES and offers a higher level of sensitivity compared to current AA detection techniques.
