Energetic Tuning in Spirocyclic Conjugated Polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Precise control of the energy levels in a conjugated polymer is the key to allowing their exploitation in optoelectronic devices. The introduction of spirocycles into conjugated polymers has traditionally been used to enhance their solid state microstructure. Here we present a highly novel method of energetic tuning through the use of electronically active spirocyclic systems. By modifying the size and oxidation state of a heteroatom in an orthogonal spirocycle we demonstrate energetic fine tuning in both the absorption and emission of a conjugated polymer. Furthermore, the synthesis of highly novel triplet-decker spirocyclic conjugated polymers is presented. This new method of energetic manipulation in a conjugated polymer paves the way for future application targeted synthesis of polymers with electronically active spirocycles.

Modelling exciton diffusion in disordered conjugated polymers
We present a combined quantum-chemical and Monte Carlo approach for calculating exciton transport properties in disordered organic materials starting from the molecular scale. We show that traps and energetic disorder are the main limitations for exciton diffusion in conjugated polymers. An analytical model for exciton hopping in a medium of sites with uncorellated energetic disorder gives a qu...

Plastic Bonded Explosives with inert binder despite having good mechanical properties and low sensitivity, because of containing inert materials, have low energy level. So investigations for replacing inert binder system with energetic binder system and high exploding components in the making of these materials are performing. It seems using energetic polymers and materials like Cyclotetramethy...
متن کاملBlending conjugated polymers without phase separation for fluorescent colour tuning of polymeric materials through FRET.
The fluorescence properties of conjugated polymer blends were investigated using a combination of excitation energy donor and acceptor conjugated polymers encapsulated by identical cyclic sidechains. Wearing this 'uniform', the polymers did not phase-separate in the blends. As such, these polymers provide an effective ensemble for designing fluorescent polymeric materials.
متن کاملRevealing different aggregational states of a conjugated polymer in solution by a nanopore sensor
The functionalities of conjugated polymers are determined not only by local molecular structure, but also by the mesoscale conformational and morphological states of the polymer chains. Simulation studies have successfully established the connections betweenmolecular structure and conformational states of certain conjugated polymers. However, experimental tools that can accurately discriminate ...

Poly(3-alkylthiophene) is a family of conjugated semicrystalline polymers for organic electronic applications. Crucial for the fine-tuning of such systems is a detailed understanding of the correlation between molecular structure/morphology and electronic properties. However, a series of a priori assumptions is commonly made in order to deduce macromolecular-scale geometric and energetic featur...
