The synthesis of dibenzothiophene derivative, i.e., 2,8-bis(trimethylsilyl)dibenzothiophene (3a) and dibenzothiophene-based poly(tetramethylsilarylenesiloxane) derivative (P1) was attained. In addition, 2,8-bis(trimethylsilyl)dibenzothiophene-5,5'-dioxide (3aO) and oxidized dibenzothiophene-based poly(tetramethylsilarylenesiloxane) derivative (P1O) were obtained by oxidation reaction of 3a and P1, respectively. The glass transition temperature was raised by the oxidation of the dibenzothiophene-based poly(tetramethylsilarylenesiloxane) derivative. The introduction of alkylsilyl groups onto dibenzothiophene derivatives induced no remarkable red shifts in the absorption as well as fluorescence spectra; however, the red shifts in the fluorescence spectra were observed by oxidation of dibenzothiophene derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
