Semiaromatic Polyamides with Re-Entrant Chain Folding Templated by "U-Turn" Repeat Units

John Christopher Plummer, Rosario Scopelliti, Julien Philippe Cretenoud, Holger Frauenrath, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bilal Özen, Michael Alan Giffin

Biopolymers often show deterministic chain folding templated by repeat unit sequences whose conformations are locked in by intramolecular interactions. In this work, we have used repeat units based on rigid anthracene or acridine scaffolds, which we refer ...

Structure-Property Relationships in Bithiophenes with Hydrogen-Bonded Substituents

Rosario Scopelliti, Kurt Schenk, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Holger Frauenrath, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bilal Özen, Kun-Han Lin

The use of crystal engineering to control the supramolecular arrangement of pi-conjugated molecules in the solid-state is of considerable interest for the development of novel organic electronic materials. In this study, we investigated the effect of combi ...

Engineering polymers with improved charge transport properties from bithiophene-containing polyamides

John Christopher Plummer, Rosario Scopelliti, Holger Frauenrath, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bilal Özen, Nicolas Candau

Polymer semiconductors show unique combinations of mechanical and optoelectronic properties that strongly depend on their microstructure and morphology. Here, we have used a model pi-conjugated bithiophene repeat unit to incorporate optoelectronic function ...

Crystallization and Organic Field-Effect Transistor Performance of a Hydrogen-Bonded Quaterthiophene

Philippe Bugnon, Rosario Scopelliti, Stéphane Suarez, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Holger Frauenrath, Jan Gebers, Riccardo Petraglia, Piotr De Silva, Bilal Özen

Crystalline thin films of pi-conjugated molecules are relevant as the active layers in organic electronic devices. Therefore, materials with enhanced control over the supramolecular arrangement, crystallinity, and thin-film morphology are desirable. Herein ...

Synthesis and Characterisation of Semiaromatic Polyamides Comprising Benzofurobenzofuran Repeating Units

Rosario Scopelliti, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Julien Philippe Cretenoud, Holger Frauenrath, Alberto Fabrizio, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bilal Özen, Thomas Schmaltz, Daniel Görl

Semiaromatic polyamides are attractive engineering polymers owing to their outstanding thermo-mechanical properties. To expand the scope of semiaromatic polyamides by additional optoelectronic features, one may consider the incorporation of extended pi-con ...
