Defect-free Naphthalene Diimide Bithiophene Copolymers with Controlled Molar Mass and High Performance via Direct Arylation Polycondensation

Highly Planarized Naphthalene Diimide–Bifuran Copolymers with Unexpected Charge Transport Performance

The synthesis, characterization, and charge transport performance of novel copolymers PNDIFu2 made from alternating naphthalene diimide (NDI) and bifuran (Fu2) units are reported. Usage of potentially biomass-derived Fu2 as alternating repeat unit enables flattened polymer backbones due to reduced steric interactions between the imide oxygens and Fu2 units, as seen by density functional theory ...

Synthesis of diketopyrrolopyrrole based copolymers via the direct arylation method for p-channel and ambipolar OFETs.

In this paper, we have synthesized two novel diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) based donor–acceptor (D–A) copolymers poly{3,6-dithiophene-2-yl-2,5-di(2-octyl)-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione-alt-1,5-bis(dodecyloxy)naphthalene} (PDPPT-NAP) and poly{3,6-dithiophene-2-yl-2,5-di(2-butyldecyl)-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione-alt-2-dodecyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole} (PDPPT-BTRZ) via direct arylation organo...

Allocolchicinoid synthesis via direct arylation.

[reaction: see text] A formal enantioselective synthesis of allocolchicine and a synthesis of a C-ring analogue have been achieved by employing an intramolecular direct arylation of an aryl chloride to form the biaryl carbon-carbon bond and the seven-membered ring.

Microwave-accelerated synthesis of lengthy and defect-free poly(m-phenyleneethynylene)s via AB' and A2 + BB' polycondensation routes.

A bimodal fluorescent and photocytotoxic naphthalene diimide for theranostic applications.

We report on the potential of a water-soluble tetracationic quaternary ammonium naphthalene diimide (NDI) as multifunctional agent of interest for theranostic applications. The DNA binding ability of this NDI has been investigated. NDI exhibits high binding constants for G-quadruplex DNA but it is not selective for this type of DNA. Taking advantage of its intrinsic fluorescence and singlet oxy...
