19. The detection of the α band is difficult because of the extremely low intensity of this band. However, the β band at 400 nm and the p band as the shoulder at 450 nm are clearly resolved and show significant bathochromic shifts compared to the parent HBC (β band at 359 nm).

22. This was probably because the sulfur atoms in fused oligothiophene rings did not improve conjugation, but instead led to a nonplanar molecular conformation (see also the 6-31G** calculations in the Supporting Information), a) X. Zhang, A. J. Matzger, J. Org. Chem. 2003, 68, 9813-9815;
