Abstract:
3,4-Bisthiolated pyrroles constitute key cores in pyrrole-based semiconductors, and their electronic properties could be improved by the bisthio groups via the S-effect. Herein, a convenient method for the synthesis of 3,4-bisthiolated pyrroles has been developed through the AlCl3-catalyzed thiolation/cyclization of homopropargylic azides, and cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations indicated that the desired 3,4-bisthiolated pyrroles had higher HOMO orbital energies and lower band gaps than the parent unsubstituted 2,5-diphenylpyrrole.

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...

Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
