Conjugated polymers with interchain aromaticity
INTERCHAIN aims to develop and investigate a ground-breaking new molecular design concept for conjugated polymers. The concept is expected to enable the occurrence of stacked-ring aromaticity between polymer chains, drastically advancing our fundamental understanding of stacked-ring aromaticity and introducing a route to exploit this effect for the development of conjugated polymers with excellent charge transport properties. For conjugated polymers with excellent charge transport properties, strong intermolecular interactions are needed, which is difficult to achieve without compromising processability. However, as an emerging class of organic molecules, conjugated macrocycles provide an…
