1. Synthesis and characterization of novel thiophene based tetramers for potential detection of protein aggregates
University essay from Linköpings universitet/KemiAbstract : Alzheimer’s disease is a big problem in the elderly population. An important tool in gaining insight in this disease are staining studies using different probes. Conjugated oligothiophenes have shown promising properties as probes and in this thesis new potential probes have been made. READ MORE

2. Synthesis of proteophenes that can be utilized as fluorescent ligands for biological targets
University essay from Linköpings universitet/KemiAbstract : Small fluorescent probes are important tools when studying protein aggregates involved in different neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes have been developed and shown to be excellent ligands when studying morphology among amyloids, due to their conjugated thiophene backbone that provides them with unique photophysical properties.

3. Interaction studies of luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes with aggregated Amyloid β
University essay from Biokemi; Tekniska högskolanAbstract : Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and was responsible for over 2% of all deaths in Sweden 2012. One of the pathological hallmarks is amyloid plaques built by fibrillated Amyloid β. Luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes are known to stain and give characteristic fluorescence spectra when staining amyloid fibrils. READ MORE

4. Synthesis of Metalloporphyrins with Oligothiophenes as Probes for Amyloid Diseases
University essay from Organisk Kemi; Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : Abnormal aggregation of misfolded proteins is related to numerous neurodegenerative diseases, which include Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and prion diseases. Luminescent conjugated probes (LCPs) have been used as dyes for these supramolecular assemblies termed amyloid fibrils. READ MORE

5. Synthetic Routes towards 2-thia-7,8-diaza-cyclopenta[l]phenanthrene and 1-thia-7,8-diaza-cyclopenta[l]phenanthrene for Molecular Electronics Applications
University essay from Akademin för hållbar samhälls- och teknikutvecklingAbstract : Electric current is known to flow through the π-bonds in oligothiophenes. In order to use them as molecular wires it is important to use a technique where the potential gradients can be generated and maintained in supramolecular networks. A solution to this problem can be the use of metal complexes as junction points within such a network. READ MORE
