Poly(alkylbithiazoles): A New Class of Variable-Bandgap, Conjugated Polymer

Optical and Electrochemical Transducers Based on Functionalized Conjugated Polymers

“…This great potential is also now backed by a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive the observed optical and electrochemical effects. Along these lines, new conjugated polymers, such as some poly(alkylbithiazole)s [27,113,114], polyanilines [115,116], oligo(m-phenylene ethynylene)s [117,118], poly(2,5-dialkoxy-p-phenylene-alt-thiophene)s [119], poly(2,5-dialkoxy-pphenylenevinylene)s [120], and poly(benzimidazole-4,7-diyl)s [121], also exhibit some chromic effects and should therefore increase the possibilities for the development of optical (and, possibly, electrochemical) sensors. Moreover, the very promising results obtained with oligonucleotide-functionalized conjugated polymers and the possibility of a combinatorial approach (fabrication of micro-arrays) from noncovalent modifications of the side-chains open the way to the development of efficient DNA solid-state sensors [122] where the detection does not require any external electrochemical probe [123] or fluorescent tagging agent [124,125] but comes from the responsive substrate itself.…”

Transistor Paint: Environmentally Stable N‐alkyldithienopyrrole and Bithiazole‐Based Copolymer Thin‐Film Transistors Show Reproducible High Mobilities without Annealing

“…Tetrahydrofuran (THF), ether, and toluene were dried by solvent purification system. 5,5 0 -dibromo-4,4 0 -dioctyl-2,2 0 -1,3-thiazole and 5,5 0 -dibromo-4,4 0 -didodecyl-2,2 0 -1,3-thiazole were synthesized according to the literature [40].…”

Voltammetric, EQCM, and in situ conductance studies of p- and n-dopable polymers based on ethylenedioxythiophene and bithiazole

“…The stacking of the bithiazole ring along the conjugated backbone could give rise to -interaction in the side group and lead to interesting optical and transport phenomena. Alkyl bithiazole oligomers crystallize with a "staircase" -stack motif and may be reversibly n-doped [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”
