TL;DR: In this paper, a series of oligomers for nonlinear optics (NLO), the thiophene−dimethylsilyl co-oligomers, (TSi)n−T with n = 1−3, have been synthesized in order to combine third-order NLO response and transparency in the visible region.

TL;DR: Bis(2-thienyl) and bis[5-(2-bromothienyl)] silanes were synthesized by electrochemical reduction of monohalothiophenes (Br,Cl) and 2,5-dibromothiophene respectively in the presence of a dichlorosilane in THF or LME, using an undivided cell, a sacrificial Mg or Al anode, a constant current density and tetrabutylammonium bromide as the supporting electrolyte.

TL;DR: The easy control of the electrochemical parameters involved in the intensiostatic sacrificial anode technique was applied to the stepwise synthesis of silanylene-2,5-thiophenylene backbones as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The technique electrochimique a l'anode consommable, en compartiment unique and a intensite constante est une excellent methode preparative for the creation of liaisons Si-Si et Si-C qui evite l'emploi des metaux alcalins as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a variety of functional aryl and hetero-aryl chlorosilanes were prepared by electrochemical reduction of halothiophenes, halofurans, halopyridines, and substituted aryls halides using an undivided cell, a sacrificial Mg or Al anode, a constant current density, and tetrabutylammonium bromide as the supporting electrolyte.
