Procedure

Triphenyleno[1,12-bcd]thiophene (1.5 g, 5.8 mmol) was dissolved in 100 mL of chloroform. Br2 was slowly added into the reaction solution. After the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 days, the mixture was filtered through a Celite plug and washed by CH2Cl2. The combined filtrate was concentrated to get 2.2 g of 7-bromotriphenyleno[1,12-bcd]thiophene which was used for next step without further purification.
