Anthracene / fluorescein based semi-conducting polymer for organic photovoltaics: Synthesis, DFT, optical and electrical properties

Extending 2D covalent organic frameworks by inserting anthracene for promoted white-light-mediated photocatalysis

“…The anthracene moiety features an electron-rich, rigid π-conjugated surface, thereby imparting significant fluorescence emission and high charge transport efficiency. 36 Photoelectrochemistry applications, encompassing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), 37 sensors, 38 photocatalysis, 39 photodynamic therapy, 40 and energy, 41 represent promising venues for anthracene and its derivatives. However, anthracene-containing COFs for photocatalysis have received less traction compared to traditional building units such as boron, 42 pyrene, 43 thiophene, 44 and porphyrin groups.…”
