The unique ability of carbon atoms to participate in robust covalent bonds with other carbon
atoms in diverse hybridization states (sp, sp 2, sp 3) or with nonmetallic elements enables …

The development of structure–property relationships for monodisperse oligomers has been
extremely useful to rationalize the properties of high molecular weight linear π‐conjugated …

Acetylenes are an important and valuable class of compounds in organic synthesis. This
book expands on this historically well-established concept, while incorporating the many …

The synthesis and structural, photophysical, electrochemical, and electroluminescent
properties of a class of platinum (II) complexes bearing σ-alkynyl ancillary ligands, namely …

Outlined here are recent synthetic approaches to conjugated step growth1 oligomers and
polymers that possess precisely controlled lengths and molecular constitutions. The current …

Life on earth is based on compounds that have carbon frames and backbones. Today,
chemists have added to the world of biomolecules and biopolymers approximately 107 …

The unusual solid‐state nonplanarity seen in the X‐ray structures of the [N] phenylenes (an
example is shown here) is shown to be most likely the result of crystal‐packing‐induced …

With the Fritsch− Buttenberg− Wiechell rearrangement as a primary synthetic route, a series
of conjugated, triisopropylsilyl end-capped polyynes containing 2− 10 acetylene units has …

Abstract Three series of differently 3, 5‐disubstituted α, ω‐diphenylpolyynes Ar‐(C≡ C) n‐Ar
