TL;DR: A soluble, intensely coloured platinum metallopolyyne with a low bandgap is synthesized, which showed a power-conversion efficiency with an average of 4.1%, which clearly demonstrates the potential of metallated conjugated polymers for efficient photovoltaic devices.

TL;DR: The synthesis, characterization, and photophysics of a series of solution-processable and strongly visible-light absorbing platinum(II) polyynes containing bithiazole-oligo(thienyl) rings were presented and provides an attractive approach to developing conjugated metallopolymers offering broad solar absorptions and tunable solar cell efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of solution-processable and strongly visible-light absorbing polyplatinynes containing oligothienyl-fluorene ring hybrids were synthesized and characterized.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of fabrication conditions on nanowire structure and morphology is investigated, and it is shown that the presence of potassium is essential for nanowires formation.

TL;DR: Two solution-processable metallopolyynes of platinum functionalized with the electron-deficient 4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophen-4-one spacer and their model molecular complexes were synthesized and developed for the applications of polymer solar cells, and represent the lowest optical bandgap yet reported for platinum(II) metalopolyynes to date.
