Single-Compound Libraries of Organic Materials: From the Combinatorial Synthesis of Conjugated Oligomers to Structure-Property Relationships

256 oligomers make up the quaterthiophene library of compounds 1 which was prepared by a combination of parallel and “mix-and-split” syntheses. An automated screening process for the recording of cyclic voltammetric data and subsequent data analysis allowed the development of structure–property relationships on which to base the future design of π-conjugated oligomers.
