High molecular mass and high regioregularity favor the more common polymorph (form I) of poly(3-alkylthiophenes) substantially extend toward temperatures existence domain 2D mesomorphic phase, which these systems access above 70−80 °C. Morphological observations indicate that in thin films form I planar polythiophene main chains lie roughly edge-on parallel to film surface, while side are approximately orthogonal substrate. Evidence relative second II), easily obtained with...
We report on the photophysical characterization of two solution-processable red-emissive perylene diimide molecules and their use in fully solution assembled OLEDs.
Two new organic sensitizers for dye solar cells containing a sterically hindered moiety have been synthesized. The introduction of 3,4-dibutyl-thiophene ring into D–π–A dyes reduces the sensitizer aggregation and allows preparation with PCE 7.17% 6.27% without use coadsorbant agents.
We report the synthesis, structural characterization, and features of crystallization behavior a highly regioregular head-to-tail poly(3-n-butylthiophene) (PBT) with average molecular weight Mw = 10.2 kDa. The thermal X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns our native PBT samples allow crystal polymorph (form I′) to be identified, never previously discussed in literature but closely related more common disordered form I. structure I′ has been determined refined by Rietveld analysis XRD from...
Poly(3-n-butylthiophene) (P3BT) samples with different average molecular weights and head-to-tail regioregularity were crystallized in the form II crystal polymorph either from solution or by annealing CS2 vapors. With a combined approach, making also use of literature electron diffraction data, we show that is well described limit-ordered monoclinic model space group P21/c lattice parameters = 10.76(1) Å, b 7.77(1) Å (chain axis), c 9.44(1) β 64.66°, yielding calculated density 1.29 g/cm3...

Electroluminescent polymeric nanofibers embedding dye-loaded zeolite L crystals are prepared. By exciting the polymer nanofiber, energy is transferred to fluorescent dyes inside channels through a two-step Förster resonant transfer process. This study opens new perspectives in field of low-cost fabrication technology flexible nanoscale OLEDs.
The development of simple, low-cost and selective methods for quantitative detection mercury ions in aqueous media is still a challenge. Herein, we employ cysteine based perylene diimide (PDI-Cys) as sensing probe Hg2+ water. selectively detects the 100 % solution by fluorescence turn-on response. binding stoichiometry reveals 1:2 complexation PDI-Cys/Hg2+, which two are bound to one PDI-Cys molecule. limit low 20 ppb, close sensitivity requirement drinking water, indicating potentiality...
Helicenes are intrinsically chiral helical molecules structurally characterized by ortho-fusion of aromatic rings. A series racemic heterohelicenes composed thiophene and benzene rings alternated in the chain were prepared via photochemical irradiation. The availability large systems containing 9 11 condensed allows a better understanding both optical properties solid-state organization thiohelicene molecules. conformation crystal architecture thiohelicenes, up to show ring distortions...
Poly(dithienothiophene)s (PDTTs), low band-gap conjugated polymers with polythiophene-like chain where an aromatic thienothiophene moiety is fused to each thiophene ring, were studied using Raman spectroscopy, photoinduced infrared absorption, as well attenuated total reflection Fourier transform (ATR-FTIR) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroelectrochemistry. The spectroelectrochemical studies performed in situ during p- n-doping (electrochemical oxidation reduction, respectively)....
Electropolymerization of dithieno[3,4-b:3′,4′-d]thiophene leads to a new transparent conducting polymer with electrical conductivity 1.0 S cm–1, while the reduced species is highly opaque in visible spectral range owing strong π→π* electronic absorption at 590 nm.
A general photochemical synthesis of large thiohelicenes containing nine and eleven rings is discussed along with the organisation racemic in crystals: heterochiral assembling dominant except nine-ring system where interactions involving terminal ring S atoms favour segregation close-packed homochiral molecules planes.
