Thiophene-based organic D-π-A dyes exert various functions as sensitizers of dye-sensitized solar cells, p-type semiconductors of thin-film organic solar cells, and inhibitors of aggregation of amyloid-β and tau proteins those are regarded as promising drug targets of Alzheimer’s disease. This account describes rapid and systematic synthesis of thiophene-based organic D-π-A dyes via our developed, one-pot, cross-coupling approach and evaluation of their various functions in order to acquire high-quality structure-function relationship information.
