Insulated conducting polymers: manipulating charge transport using supramolecular complexes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rotaxane structures which provide functional insulation to conducting polymers can provide over a 4000-fold reduction in conductivity over non-rotaxane structures and with electronically active copper ions in the rotaxane units the conductivity increases by more than 80 times relative to the metal-free analog.

Insulated Polythiophene: Self-Threaded Conjugated Polymer via Alkyl Chain Straps
Polythiophenes are a popular class of organic conducting polymers, known for their environmental stability, conductivity [1], fluorescence and electroluminescent properties [2]. Conducting polymers, such as polythiophenes, have enormous potential in both static and dynamic applications, ranging from field-effect transistors and diodes to chemical sensors [3]. Many applications require the use o...
متن کاملCharge-transport model for conducting polymers.
The growing technological importance of conducting polymers makes the fundamental understanding of their charge transport extremely important for materials and process design. Various hopping and mobility edge transport mechanisms have been proposed, but their experimental verification is limited to poor conductors. Now that advanced organic and polymer semiconductors have shown high conductivi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Stability of Amylose Inclusion Complexes Depending on Guest Polymers and Their Application to Supramolecular Polymeric Materials
This paper describes the evaluation of the stability of amylose-polymer inclusion complexes under solution state in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) depending on guest polymers. The three complexes were prepared by the vine-twining polymerization method using polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), and poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) as guest polymers. The stability investigation was conducted ...
متن کاملIntrachain electron transfer in conducting oligomers and polymers: the mixed valence approach.
Organic mixed valence compounds consisting of bisdiarylamino charge-bearing units with an oligothiophene bridge and oligothiophene radical cations have been compared using molecular modeling. The study has been performed with oligomers of 1 to 22 thiophene units. These two series of molecules have several properties in common, and intramolecular Single Electron Transfer (SET) in both series can...
متن کاملTransmembrane ion transport by polyphosphate/poly-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate complexes.
Transmembrane ion transport, a critical process in providing energy for cell functions, is carried out by pore-forming macromolecules capable of discriminating among very similar ions and responding to changes in membrane potential. It is widely regarded that ion channels are exclusively proteins, relatively late arrivals in cell evolution. Here we discuss the formation of ion-selective, voltag...
