The award of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2000 to Professors Alan Heeger, Alan
MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa for their discovery that “doped” polyacetylene can …

This review discusses the progress in the synthesis of poly (aryleneethynylene) s (PAEs). It
covers the literature from 1999 through 2003. The last comprehensive review of PAE …

This article reports on the synthesis, characterization and properties of a series of
anthracene− containing poly (p-phenylene-ethynylene)-alt-poly (p-phenylene-vinylene) s …

The role of π-stack induced molecular aggregation on solution and solid-state luminescent
properties was investigated for the tricyclodecane substituted bulky (p-phenylenevinylene) s …

The Horner− Wadsworth− Emmons olefination reaction of luminophoric dialdehydes 1 and 2
and bisphosphonates 3 provide high-molecular-weight and thermostable PPV/PPE hybrid …

The influence on the emission color of π-conjugated polymers varying side chains, film
thicknesses and thermal treatment were investigated in a parallel fashion. The respective …

An important issue in construction of organic photovoltaic cells concerns the selective
contacts. Here, especially the modification of the hole-extraction is challenging, as energy …

We report novel, luminescent, cross-conjugated poly-(p-phenyleneethynylene)(PPE)
derivatives (5) with unsaturated side chains. 1-4 The synthetic scheme allows the facile …

High-molecular-weight, soluble and thermostable alkoxy-substituted arylene−
ethynylene/arylene− vinylene conjugated polymers, 13 and 14, have been successfully …

Three novel conjugated copolymers containing alkoxylated 4, 7-diphenyl-2, 1, 3-
benzothiadiazole and dialkylfluorene or dialkyloxyphenylene or dialkylthiophene units were …
