This review article summarizes recent progress in the synthesis and optoelectronic
properties of conjugated materials containing heavy main group elements from Group 13 …

Although thiophene-based materials are among the most widely studied conjugated
materials for a number of technological applications, most discussions of emissive …

The most effective synthetic methodologies currently employed for producing polymeric
semiconductors are affected by cost, safety, and environmental issues which may seriously …

Polythiophenes have long played a major role in the field of conducting polymers due to
their relative ease of synthesis, good thermal and oxidative stability, high charge carrier …

Low‐bandgap conjugated copolymers based on a donor–acceptor structure have been
synthesised via palladium‐complex catalysed direct arylation polymerisation. Initially, we …

We systematically study the optical and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of various
cyclopentadithiophene (CPDT) derivatives using quantum chemical calculations. The …

Liquid crystals (LCs) are ordered soft materials formed by self-assembling molecules, which
combine anisotropic properties with the fluidity of a liquid. They can potentially be used as …

Hybrid polymer/nanoparticle solar cells have a light harvesting layer composed of
semiconducting inorganic nanoparticles and a semiconducting conjugated polymer. They …
