    The synthesis of unsymmetrical triphenylamine-oligothiophene hybrid conjugated systems bearing dicyanovinyl electron acceptor end-groups is presented. When used as molecular donor materials in solution-processed bulk heteroj­unction solar cells, these compounds lead to efficient devices with very high open-circuit voltages

    Tristhienylphenylamine - extended dithiafulvene hybrids as bifunctional electroactive species

    Get PDF
    Extended hybrid conjugated systems based on a trithienylphenylamine core with 1, 2 and 3 peripheral dithiafulvenyl units have been synthesized and studied by cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis. absorption spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations have also been undergone. The behaviour of these derivatives which depends on the number of dithiafulvene moieties grafted of the central core is cleared up. One polymer, obtained from derivative 3 presents polyelectrochromic properties

    Polymorphism of lead(ii) benzenethiolate: a noncentrosymmetric new allotropic form of Pb(SPh)2

    Depending upon its conditions of crystallization, lead(II) benzenethiolate can exist in two forms: a low-temperature centrosymmetric phase α-Pb(SPh)2 which can be converted by heating into the noncentrosymmetric, 2nd order NLO strongly active and room temperature metastable β-Pb(SPh)2 phase, thus affording an example of transition towards noncentrosymmetry induced by a rise of temperature
