Synthesis and characterization of indeno[1,2-b ]fluorene-based white light-emitting copolymer

Magnetically induced current density using London atomic orbitals of dihydroindeno-[1,2-b]-fluorenes

We have investigated the substitution effect over the aromaticity of dihydroindeno-[1,2-b]-fluorene, through magnetically induced current and NICS_zz calculations.

High-color-quality white electroluminescence and amplified spontaneous emission from a star-shaped single-polymer system with simultaneous three-color emission

A star-shaped single-polymer system with simultaneous RGB emission has been developed, achieving high-color-quality saturated white electroluminescence.

Synthesis of conjugated, hyperbranched copolymers for tunable multicolor emissions in light-emitting diodes

A series of conjugated hyperbranched copolymers (HBPs) based on benzothiadiazole derivatives were synthesized via a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction and their white-light emitting properties were explored.

Solar-energy production and energy-efficient lighting: photovoltaic devices and white-light-emitting diodes using poly(2,7-fluorene), poly(2,7-carbazole), and poly(2,7-dibenzosilole) derivatives

World energy needs grow each year. To address global warming and climate changes the search for renewable energy sources with limited greenhouse gas emissions and the development of energy-efficient lighting devices are underway. This Review reports recent progress made in the synthesis and characterization of conjugated polymers based on bridged phenylenes, namely, poly(2,7-fluorene)s, poly(2,7-carbazole)s, and poly(2,7-dibenzosilole)s, for applications in solar cells and white-light-emitting diodes. The main strategies and remaining challenges in the development of reliable and low-cost renewable sources of energy and energy-saving lighting devices are discussed.
