Abstract
Activated dihydridocarbonyltris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium catalyzes the cyclodimerization of both bis(2‐thienyl)acetylene and bis(3‐thienyl)acetylene to yield, respectively, 4,5,6‐tris(2′‐thienyl)‐benzo[b]thiophene and 5,6,7‐tris(3′‐thienyl)benzo[b]thiophene. These fluoresce in the blue. Both undergo irreversible one electron oxidation at & sim1.1 mV versus Ag/Ag^+^ electrode, consistent with oxidation of the benzo[b]thiophene nuclei rather than the substituent thiophene rings.
