Graded spatial distribution in conducting copolymers of pyrrole and thiophene

Journal Article Torres, W ; Fox, M A

Random and spatially graded copolymers of pyrrole and thiophene formed at fixed concentrations of monomer under potentiostatic control are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electroanalytical techniques. Unlike previously described copolymers composed of discrete bilayers of polypyrrole and polythiophene, neither the random nor spatially graded copolymers exhibited appreciable long-term charge rectification. 31 refs., 8 fig., 1 tab.

Marked Consequences of Systematic Oligothiophene Catenation in Thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione and Bithiopheneimide Photovoltaic Copolymers

Journal Article Zhou, Nanjia ; Guo, Xugang ; Ortiz, Rocio Ponce ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

As effective building blocks for high-mobility transistor polymers, oligothiophenes are receiving attention for polymer solar cells (PSCs) because the resulting polymers can effectively suppress charge recombination. In this work we investigate two series of in-chain donor–acceptor copolymers, PTPDnT and PBTInT, based on thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) or bithiopheneimide (BTI) as electron acceptor units, respectively, and oligothiophenes (nTs) as donor counits, for high-performance PSCs. Intramolecular S···O interaction leads to more planar TPD polymer backbones, however backbone torsion yields greater open-circuit voltages for BTI polymers. Thiophene addition progressively raises polymer HOMOs but marginally affects their band gaps. FT-Raman spectra indicate that PTPDnT and PBTInT conjugation lengths scale with nT catenation up tomore »« less
