Title: | Facile synthesis of 3-(omega-acetoxyalkyl)thiophenes and derived copolythiophenes using Rieke zinc | Authors: | KUDRET, Suleyman KESTERS, Jurgen Janssen, Sander Van den Brande, Niko Defour, Maxime Van Mele, Bruno MANCA, Jean LUTSEN, Laurence VANDERZANDE, Dirk MAES, Wouter |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | REACTIVE & FUNCTIONAL POLYMERS, 75, p. 22-30 | Abstract: | An optimized synthetic protocol toward highly reactive Rieke zinc is applied for the preparation of a series of x-(2,5-dibromothiophene-3-yl)alkyl acetate monomers and statistical copolythiophenes derived thereof, with 10% of ester-functionalized side chains. The obtained conjugated polymers are attractive electron donor materials for organic solar cells, notably to increase the thermodynamic stability of the bulk heterojunction polymer:fullerene active layer blend, and are fully characterized by a combination of spectroscopic, thermal analysis and electrochemical techniques. | Notes: | Maes, W (reprint author), Hasselt Univ, Inst Mat Res IMO IMOMEC, Agoralaan 1,Bldg D, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium wouter.maes@uhasselt.be | Keywords: | Rieke zinc; optimized synthetic protocol; Ester side chains; random copolythiophenes; organic photovoltaics | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/16728 | ISSN: | 1381-5148 | e-ISSN: | 1873-166X | DOI: | 10.1016/j.reactfunctpolym.2013.11.009 | ISI #: | 000330918200004 | Rights: | © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
