Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic chemistry for ultrapure, processable, and high-mobility organic transistor semiconductors.
TL;DR: This Account reviews the synthetic methods that have been most useful for preparing a range of semiconductors, including thiophene-based oligomers, several kinds of fused rings, and polymers, and the tradeoff between process efficiency and target purity is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light Harvesting and Energy Transfer in Laser-Dye-Labeled Poly(aryl ether) Dendrimers
Alex Adronov,Sylvain L. Gilat,Jean M. J. Fréchet,Kaoru Ohta,Frederik V. R. Neuwahl,Graham R. Fleming +5 more
TL;DR: The photophysical properties of a series of laser−dye-labeled poly(aryl ether) dendrimers, generations 1−4, have been determined and these macromolecules have the potential to become integral components of molecular photonic devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light harvesting and energy transfer in novel convergently constructed dendrimers
TL;DR: By the attachment of interacting laser dyes to the chain ends and focal point of a dendritic macromolecule it is possible to funnel energy harvested by the large peripheral antenna of the dendrimer efficiently and directly to the central fluorescent core by a process that does not involve the dendedrimer inner backbone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-triggered electrical and optical switching devices
TL;DR: The functional photoswitchable systems 1, 3 and 12-15 display pronounced photochromic properties; the bis-pyridinium derivative 1 represents a prototype of a switched molecular wire which may be converted from an open unconjugated form to a closed electron-conducting state as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemical pKa‐Modulation and Gated Photochromic Properties of a Novel Diarylethene Switch
TL;DR: The unsymmetrical dithienylethene photochrome 1a exhibits proton-gated photochromic properties as well as novel chemical reactivity as mentioned in this paper, and the dimethoxylated derivative 9a represents a light-triggered proton switch whose dissociation constant is increased by a factor of 16 upon photochemical cyclization to 9b.
