The present invention relates to conjugated oligomers and polymers comprising aromatic thiophene cores. The conjugated materials are obtained by simple and efficient condensation of an aryl diamine and an aryl dialdehyde or a bifunctional aryl moiety comprising both an aldehyde and an amine. Condensation of the complementary moieties at temperatures ranging from ambient to refluxing temperatures in various solvents resulted in conjugated oligomers and polymers that can subsequently be cast into thin films. Oligomerization and polymerization can be done under mild conditions with removal of the resulting water bi-product responsible for shifting the equilibrium in favour of the conjugated products. The resulting conjugated compounds can be made conducting with dopants affording electrically conducting materials of either p-type or n-type conductors depending on the dopant selected.
本发明涉及含有芳香
硫杂苯核的共轭寡聚物和聚合物。这些共轭材料是通过芳香族二胺和芳香族二醛或含有醛和胺的双官能团芳香族基团的简单高效缩合反应得到的。在各种溶剂中,将互补的官能团在环境温度到沸腾温度范围内缩合,得到共轭寡聚物和聚合物,随后可以将其铸造成薄膜。在温和的条件下进行寡聚和聚合反应,通过去除生成的
水分子,使平衡向共轭产物倾斜。所得的共轭化合物可以通过掺杂剂使其导电,从而获得p型或n型导体的电导材料。
