Torsional Influences within Disordered Organic Electronic Materials Based upon Non-Benzenoid 1,6-Methano[10]annulene Rings

Abstract: Conjugated polymers and small molecules containing the nonplanar aromatic 1,6-methano [10]annulene were synthesized in an effort to understand how torsional differences between planar and nonplanar πelectron components influence the electronic properties of π-conjugated materials. The polymers and small molecule model systems contain commonly employed aromatic subunits such as thiophene, diketopyrrolopyrrole, and 2,1,3benzothiadiazole, leading to electron donor and donor−acceptor polymers. The curved geometry … Show more

“…Figure , top) . Our more recent investigations examined the amorphous nature of annulene‐containing polymers as thin films relevant for semiconductor device fabrication, properties deduced by thermal and X‐ray diffraction measurements (Figure , bottom) . It should be noted here that the latter report describes a unique example that is NOT relying on the inherent electronics or aromaticity of the annulene core; rather, the structural aspects concerning non‐planarity, the methylene bridge, and the racemic nature of the annulen‐2,7‐diyl linkages within the monomer building block all lead to a frustration of extended crystallization that commonly accompanies typical rigid‐rod conjugated polymers designed for high‐performance applications.…”

“…Bond 5 in T 1 is very long as a result of steric/torsional strain (structure A). [29] The Raman spectrum with the 532 nm laser excitation in Figure 3 displays a new peak at 1483 cm À1 together with that at 1441-1445 cm À1 typical of the 1064/785/633 nm laser Raman excitations. Hence, the growth of a new band in the 532 nm Raman spectrum displaced at higher wavenumber, 1445!1482 cm À1 , is in line with the up-shift of the Raman bands from the Q3TCN quinoidal to the T3CN aromatic, 1430!1456 cm À1 , and suggests a change toward a much more aromatic core such as in the triplet structure D in Scheme 4.…”
