We have synthesized thienylene- and phenylene-based oligomers displaying solid-state photoluminescence efficiencies up to 70% and photoluminescence frequencies which cover the entire visible range. All compounds contain one central nonaromatic thienyl-1,1-dioxide moiety in the main chain. The tuning of the light-emission frequency was achieved by progressively varying the degree of pi-pi electron delocalization between the nonaromatic moiety and the alpha -linked aromatic rings. All compounds displayed greater electron affinities than thienylene or phenylene oligomers of comparable lengths, as deduced from the reduction potentials measured by cyclic voltammetry

Abstract
We have synthesized thienylene- and phenylene-based oligomers displaying solid-state photoluminescence efficiencies up to 70% and photoluminescence frequencies which cover the entire visible range. All compounds contain one central nonaromatic thienyl-1,1-dioxide moiety in the main chain. The tuning of the light-emission frequency was achieved by progressively varying the degree of pi-pi electron delocalization between the nonaromatic moiety and the alpha -linked aromatic rings. All compounds displayed greater electron affinities than thienylene or phenylene oligomers of comparable lengths, as deduced from the reduction potentials measured by cyclic voltammetryI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
