SELENOPHENE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

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.
