Polythiophene and oligothiophene systems modified by TTF electroactive units for organic electronics

چکیده
The aim of this review is to give an update on current progress in the synthesis, properties and applications of thiophene-based conjugated systems bearing tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units. We focus mostly on the synthesis of poly- and oligothiophenes with TTF moieties fused to the thiophene units of the conjugated backbone either directly or via a dithiin ring. The electrochemical behaviour of these materials and structure-property relationships are discussed. The study is directed towards the development of a new type of organic semiconductors based on these hybrid materials for application in organic field effect transistors and solar cells.

Hybrid organic-inorganic nanomaterials based on polythiophene dendronized nanoparticles.
In this work, the synthesis, characterization, and applications of branched oligothiophene dendrons that act as electroactive surfactants for the capping of Au metal nanoparticles and CdSe quantum dots are described. Two distinct methods have been employed for synthesis: a ligand exchange process and a direct-capping synthesis approach. The coverage of the dendrons per nanocrystal, the nature o...

Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives are strong electron-donating molecules which have been used for the development of organic conducting materials as well as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry. TTFs are frequently used as donor units in donor-acceptor (D-A) assemblies in molecular electronics. Upon oxidation, TTF derivatives are capable of forming stable cation radical and dication s...

متن کاملElectroactive Materials Based on Thiophen: Study of the Doping and its Effect
We have theoretically investigated the effect of doping in oligothiophenes (Tn, n=2-8) with the DFT method at UB3LYP level with 6-31G(d) basis set. Our attention focused on the study of the geometrical and electronic properties in the neutral and doped states. We show that the doping process modify both bond lengths and torsion angles and also electronic properties by enhancing the planarity an...
