[reaction: see text] A series of alpha,alpha'-bisdiarylamino-capped oligothiophenes C(n) were prepared by the palladium-catalyzed reaction of the dibromo compounds A(i) with diarylamines, N,N-diarylamino-substituted thiophenes or 2,2'-bithiophenes BX(j). These easily oxidizable compounds exhibit a high tendency to form amorphous glasses and characteristic electrochemical and spectroscopic properties that depend significantly on the number of their thiophene moieties.

[reaction: see text] A series of new 2-amino-5-thienyl-substituted multicharged methinium compounds have been prepared and characterized spectroscopically and electrochemically by reaction of lithiated species of N,N-disubstituted 2-aminothiophenes with alkyl derivatives of di- and tricarbonic acids and subsequent addition of perchloric acid.
