Stability of Shielded Pentacenes under Ambient Conditions [data]
The stabilization of pentacene through variation of substituents serves as a test bed to access stable organic semiconductors, transferable to the larger soluble acenes and... -
Diels-Alder Reactivity of Triisopropylsilyl Ethynyl Substituted Acenes [data]
We investigated the Diels-Alder reaction of 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilyl)pentacene (1) with small dienophiles such as (bridged) dihydronaphthalenes/cyclohexenes that yielded... -
Stabilization of Acenes: “Geländer”-Pentacenes [data]
We report soluble tetrakis-biphenyl substituted pentacenes comprised of sp2 carbons and synthesized from pentacene-5,7,12,14-tetraone. Intramolecular Yamamoto coupling of two... -
Pentacene to Octacene: The Limit of Fourfold TIPS-Ethynylation [data]
Soluble acenes beyond hexacene are rare. Their sensitivity complicates isolation, purification and application in devices. To increase the stability of acenes, functionalization... -
Phase behaviour in Polymer-Photovoltaic Thin Film Blends
In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device... -
Quantitative measurement of muonium photochemical reaction kinetics of TIPS-P...
Our first completed photo-musr experiment on 6,13-bis(tri-iso propylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-Pn) has recently been accepted for publication. We observed a significant...
