Tuning π-Conjugated Polymers with Heteroatoms: Synthesis of Polytellurophenes and Soluble Polyacetylenes
DownloadFall 2021
This Thesis describes the synthesis and investigation of π-conjugated oligomers and polymers with optoelectronic properties affected by the presence of a heteroatom. Two major classes of polymers are discussed: 1) polytellurophenes, where the backbone is formed by 5-membered heterocycles...
