Redox properties of polythiaarene derivatives. A novel class of electron acceptors
Abstract
A series of polythiaarene derivatives has been synthesised and
their redox properties studied. The charge stabilizing effect of the
aryl sulfide groups that surround the central aromatic core promotes
nucleophilic substitution and markedly facilitates radical anion
formation, leading to remarkably mild reduction potentials.
Polythiaarene units may thus serve as electron accepting sites for the
development of electron rich components for molecular electronic
devices.
