Theoretical Studies on Conjugated Phenyl-Cored Thiophene Dendrimers for Photovoltaic Applications

Journal Article Kose, M; Mitchell, W; Kopidakis, N; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

{pi}-Conjugated dendrimers are an important class of materials for optoelectronic devices, especially for light-harvesting systems. We report here a theoretical investigation of the optical response and of the excited-state properties of three-arm and four-arm phenyl-cored dendrimers for photovoltaic applications. A variety of theoretical methods are used and evaluated against each other to calculate vertical transition energies, absorption and excitation spectra with vibronic structure, charge transport, and excitonic behavior upon photoexcitation and photoemission processes. Photophysical phenomena in these dendrimers are, in general, better explained with ab initio methods rather than with semiempirical techniques. Calculated reorganization energies were found to correlate wellmore »« less

Structure-Dependent Photophysics of First-Generation; Phenyl-Cored Thiophene Dendrimers

Journal Article Mitchell, W; Ferguson, A; Kose, M; ... - Chemistry of Materials

We have prepared two series of first-generation thiophene-bridge dendrimers, with either three (3G1) or four (4G1) arms attached to a phenyl core, to elucidate their structure-property relationships. Optical properties were investigated with a combination of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Steady-state spectroscopic data for the 3-arm dendrimers suggests that the exciton is delocalized over the {alpha}-conjugated thiophene segment and the phenyl core, but that the meta-linking of the dendrons prevents their electronic communication. In contrast, conjugation through the core to dendrons in the ortho and para positions is permitted in the 4-arm dendrimers, although the data suggest that the conjugationmore »« less
