Crystal structure of tris[4-(3,4-dimethoxythiophen-2-yl)phenyl]amine
Abstract
In the title compound tris[4-(3,4-dimethoxythiophen-2-yl)phenyl]amine (DMOT-TPA), C 36 H 33 NO 6 S 3 , the central nitrogen atom shows no pyramidalization, with the three para -phenylene rings arranged in a propeller-like geometry. Each thiophene ring is twisted by about 25–29° relative to the adjacent phenylene ring, giving a distorted π-conjugated framework. In the crystal, molecules are linked through multiple C—H...π interactions into two-dimensional sheets, which extend into a three-dimensional network. A Cambridge Structural Database survey revealed no prior examples of triphenylamines bearing 3,4-dimethoxythiophen units at the para positions. This unique structure provides new insights into the design of redox-active organic materials.
