Journal ArticleDOI
White light emitting single polymer from aggregation enhanced emission: a strategy through supramolecular assembly
Ezhakudiyan Ravindran,S. Ananthakrishnan,E. Varathan,E. Varathan,Venkatesan Subramanian,Venkatesan Subramanian,N. Somanathan,N. Somanathan +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient pure white electroluminescent polymers, obtained by copolymerization of 9,9-dihexylfluorene as a blue host with (E)-2,7-dibromo-9H-fluoren-9-yl-2-cyano-3-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl) acrylate (FCP) as a yellow emitting covalent dopant with AIEE properties on the main chain of the copolymers, have been designed and synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
A solution processable fluorene-fluorenone oligomer with aggregation induced emission enhancement.
S. Ananthakrishnan,E. Varathan,Ezhakudiyan Ravindran,N. Somanathan,Venkatesan Subramanian,Asit Baran Mandal,Janardanan D. Sudha,Janardanan D. Sudha,Rajaraman Ramakrishnan,Rajaraman Ramakrishnan +9 more
TL;DR: A novel solution processable fluorenone based small molecule with an Aggregation Induced Emission Enhancement (AIEE) property and the presence of the fluore None moiety in FF triggers the AIEE property.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient white-light emission from a single polymer system with “spring-like” self-assemblies induced emission enhancement and intramolecular charge transfer characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, an orange-red emitting multifunctional organic fluorophore consisting of two terminal attachments of push-pull moieties separated by a biphenyl free rotor named BPPTA and its copolymers was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum chemical studies on polythiophenes containing heterocyclic substituents: Effect of structure on the band gap
TL;DR: This study illustrates the usefulness of quantum-mechanical calculations in understanding the effects of various structural parameters on optical band gap by comparing predicted band-gap values with experimental band gaps obtained from optical-absorption edge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of "hairy urchin"-like polyaniline by using β-cyclodextrin as a template.
Adhimoorthy Prasannan,Tram Le Bich Truong,Po-Da Hong,N. Somanathan,Indrajit Shown,Toyoko Imae +5 more
TL;DR: It has been revealed that the formation of the supramolecular complexes of polyaniline withβ-CD due to host-guest interaction is indispensable for the fabrication of these unique PAni nanostructures, and a suitable β-CD to aniline molar ratio is essential to their exclusive formation.
