Conjugated Main Chains (conjugated + main_chain)
Selected AbstractsFirst synthesis of the bismole-containing conjugated polymerJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 16 2006Yasuhiro Morisaki Abstract We successfully synthesized the first conjugated polymer containing a bismuth atom in the conjugated main chain by incorporating a bismuth atom into the cyclopentadiene framework (bismole), which was constructed by a polymer reaction. A synthetic procedure and characterization of the obtained polymers were discussed. This bismole-containing conjugated polymer exhibited moderate bluish green photoluminescence in solution. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The polymers were characterized by VPO, FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. A large bathochromic shift was observed in UV-Vis spectra for these polymers due to the ,-,* transition in the conjugated main chain. Brief examination indicated that the nitrogen- and sulfur-containing polymers exhibited an excellent chelating tendency to metal ions and the corresponding polymeric complexes would be expected to have potential in applications. [source] Helically ,-Stacked Conjugated Polymers Bearing Photoresponsive and Chiral Moieties in Side Chains: Reversible Photoisomerization-Enforced Switching Between Emission and Quenching of Circularly Polarized FluorescenceADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 8 2010Hiroyuki Hayasaka Abstract Novel multifunctional conjugated polymers, [poly(p -phenylene)s and poly(bithienylene-phenylene)s with (R)- and (S)-configurations], which have fluorescence, chirality, and photoresponsive properties, have been designed and synthesized. The polymers are composed of ,-conjugated main chains, where poly(p -phenylene) and poly(bithienylene-phenylene) are fluorescence moieties, and the side chains of the photochromic dithienylethene moiety are linked with chiral alkyl groups. The polymer films exhibit right- or left-handed circularly polarized fluorescence (CPF) and also show reversible quenching and emitting behaviors as a result of photochemical isomerization of the dithienylethene moiety upon irradiation with ultraviolet and visible light. This is the first report realizing the reversible switching of CPF using chirality and photoresponsive properties. [source] Synthesis and properties of phenothiazylene vinylene-based polymers: New organic semiconductors for field-effect transistors and solar cellsJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 3 2010Seon-Kyoung Son Abstract A series of new phenothiazylene vinylene-based semiconducting polymers, poly[3,7-(4,-dodecyloxyphenyl)phenothiazylene vinylene] (P1), poly[3,7-(4,-dodecyloxyphenyl)phenothiazylene vinylene- alt -1,4-phenylene vinylene] (P2), and poly[3,7-(4,-dodecyloxyphenyl)phenothiazylene vinylene- alt -2,5-thienylene vinylene] (P3), have been synthesized via a Horner-Emmons reaction. FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopies confirmed that the configurations of the vinylene groups in the polymers were all - trans (E). The weight-averaged molecular weights (Mw) of P1, P2, and P3 were found to be 27,000, 22,000, and 29,000, with polydispersity indices of 1.91, 2.05, and 2.25, respectively. The thermograms for P1, P2, and P3 each contained only a broad glass transition, at 129, 167, and 155 °C, respectively, without the observation of melting features. UV,visible absorption spectra of the polymers showed two strong absorption bands in the ranges 315,370 nm and 450,500 nm, which arose from absorptions of the phenothiazine segments and the conjugated main chains. Solution-processed field-effect transistors fabricated from these polymers showed p -type organic thin-film transistor characteristics. The field-effect mobilities of P1, P2, and P3 were measured to be 1.0 × 10,4, 3.6 × 10,5, and 1.0 × 10,3 cm2 V,1 s,1, respectively, and the on/off ratios were in the order of 102 for P1 and P2, and 103 for P3. Atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis of thin films of the polymers show that they have amorphous structures. A photovoltaic device in which a P3/PC71BM (1/5) blend film was used as the active layer exhibited an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.42 V, a short circuit current (JSC) of 5.17 mA cm,2, a fill factor of 0.35, and a power conversion efficiency of 0.76% under AM 1.5 G (100 mW cm,2) illumination. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Benefited from the D,A structures, the polymers possess low bandgaps of 1.75 eV, 1.86 eV, 1.59 eV, and 1.58 eV for P1, P2, P3, and P4, respectively, and show broad absorption band in the visible region: the shorter wavelength absorption peak at ,400 nm ascribed to the conjugated side chains and the longer wavelength absorption peak between 500 nm and 750 nm belonging to the absorption of the conjugated main chains. Especially, the absorption band of P4 film covers the whole visible range from 300 nm to 784 nm. The power conversion efficiencies of the polymer solar cells based on P1,P4 as donor and PCBM as acceptor are 0.029%, 0.14%, 0.46%, and 0.57%, respectively, under the illumination of AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm2. The polymers with the low bandgap and broad absorption band are promising photovoltaic materials. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
