Synthesis and optical properties of organosilicon–oligothiophene branched polymers

Dynamics of polarons in branched conducting polymers

“…Such polymers attracted certain attention over the past decade. A considerable number of papers have been published in the literature during past two decades on the synthesis of different branched polymers and study of their optical, electronic and mechanical properties (see, e.g., [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]). A review of the chemistry and physics of hyperbranched polymers is presented in [15].…”

Charged solitons in branched conducting polymers

“…A review of the synthesis, properties, and functionality of dendrimers, hyperbranched polymer, and star polymers with emphasis on functional aspects can be found in [15]. Synthesis and optical properties of organosiliconeoligothiophene branched polymers was reported in [20]. Fabrication and electronic properties of functionalized branched EDOT-terthiophene copolymer films was considered in [22].…”

Preparation and Photoinduced Energy and Electron Transfer of Donor‐Silicon‐Acceptor Polymers

“…[9] Recently, we prepared branched polymers containing quiquethiophene and bis(terthiophenyl)benzothiadiazole as the donor and acceptor, respectively, which efficiently transfer photoenergy from donor to acceptor in the solid state (Scheme 1 b). [10] However, in the solution state the energy transfer occurs to a limited extent and no PET occurs in both the states. This may be due to the long silicon linkage and/or mismatch between the donor and the acceptor electronic states.…”
