PREPATION OF A CONJUGATED MOLECULE AND MATERIALS FOR USE THEREIN

摘要

A method for preparing a conjugated molecule comprising a first monomer coupled to a second monomer, said method comprising: (i) linking the first monomer to a solid support via the germanium atom of a germyl-linking group; (ii) coupling the first monomer to the second monomer in a coupling position to form a bound conjugated molecule, wherein the second monomer has a protecting group in a non-coupling position; (iii) optionally sequentially coupling a third, fourth.... and n monomer to the second, third and (n-1) monomer respectively; (iv) removing the protecting group; and (v) ipso-degermylation to release the bound conjugated molecule.
