Novel low bandgap poly(thienylenemethine) derivatives bearing terphenylene moieties in the side chains were synthesised. The bandgaps were controlled by introducing quinoidal structures into the benzonoidal main chains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
