Synthesis, Solid Structure, and Optical Properties of New Thiophene-Based Alternating π-Conjugated Copolymers Containing 4-Alkyl-1,2,4-triazole or 1,3,4-Thiadiazole Unit as the Partner Unit

Self-assembly and charge transport properties of a benzobisthiazole end-capped with dihexyl thienothiophene units

“…17 This strategy avoids trap states 18 that are often seen with pentacene and related materials, leading to instability in air. There has been interest lately in conjugated materials incorporating electron-deficient heterocycles, such as [1,3,4]thiadiazoles [19][20][21][22][23] and dibromobenzo [1,2-…”

Optoelectronic and Semiconducting Properties of Conjugated Polymers Composed of Thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole and Arene Imides Linked by Ethynylene Bridges

“…5,6 During the last years, we have investigated the molecular structure and electronic properties of series of PAEs containing Th as electron-accepting group linked to phenylene and -C≡C-bridges by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. [19][20][21][22][23] Their interesting electronic properties make them suitable candidates for their use as organic semiconductors.…”

Electronic structure and properties of alternating donor–acceptor conjugated copolymers: 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) copolymers and model compounds

“…We are particularly interested in the alternating donor-acceptor copolymers since their electronic and optoelectronic properties can be tuned efficiently by intramolecular charge transfer (CT) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The interaction between the electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) moieties in such an alternating donor-acceptor copolymer can result in the hybridization of the high-lying HOMO energy level of the donor and low-lying energy levels of the acceptor, leading to a relatively small band gap polymer semiconductor with novel electronic structure and ambipolar charge transport properties.…”
