Abstract:
|
Described herein are three projects centered on the synthesis of conducting polymer derivatives for various applications . The first is the novel synthesis of 9 ,9 -dioctylfluorene -co -benzothiadiazole [F8BT] oligomers through solid phase synthesis for the study of the thermodynamics and kinetics of electron transfer in the polymer . The second endeavor involves the synthesis of a series of 4” ,3’’’ -dialkyl -2 ,2’ :5’ ,2” :5” ,2’’’ :5’’’ ,2’’’’ :5’’’’ ,2’’’’’ -sexithiophenes for the studies on crystal packing and surface deposition of organic p -type semiconducting materials . Lastly is described the development of a conducting metallopolymer based on the ligand 2 ,6 -Bis (4 - (2 ,2’ -bithiophen -5 -yl ) -1H -pyrazol -1 -yl )pyridine for use in a drug delivery system . |
