Abstract
A novel trisulfide‐containing thiophene, 1,5‐dihydrothieno[3,4‐e][1,2,3]trithiepine (5), and a disulfide analogue, 1,4‐dihydrothieno[3,4‐d][1,2]dithiine (4), were designed and synthesized. All the compounds were characterized by FT‐IR, NMR, Raman, MS, and elemental analysis, some of which were confirmed by single‐crystal structure analysis. The designed molecules have potential usage as the cathode material for batteries.
