| Abstract: |
Conjugated polymers have attracted great research interests due to their tunable optoelectronic properties and increasing applications in organic electronic devices including sensors, diodes and photovoltaics. Among a plethora of examples, non-aromatic all-carbon main-chain polymers including polydiacetylenes (PDAs) and polytriacetylenes (PTAs) represent a unique class of conjugated polymers and have been considered intermediate states transitioning from polyacetylenes (PAs) and the still elusive carbon allotrope, carbyne. We have recently developed facile methods for the synthesis of a series of trans-enediyne (EDY) monomers bearing various functional groups at the double bonds. These EDYs have been applied in the synthesis of novel PDAs, PTAs and platinum segmented PDAs that are hardly accessible through conventional methods. Physical and electronic properties of these polymers can be easily fine-tuned through varying the substituents that are directly conjugated to the main-chains and their applications in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have been explored.
