研究目的
To synthesize and characterize new conjugated polymers based on the dithienobenzimidazole monomer and explore their electronic and geometric structures, as well as their response to acid and base treatments.
研究成果
The synthesis and characterization of PDTBI-BTD and PDTBI-BDT demonstrate the potential to incorporate imidazoles into complex donor-acceptor type copolymers. However, the materials' low molecular weight and poor film robustness upon (de)protonation highlight areas for future optimization.
研究不足
The thin-film degradation encountered during acid and base treatments limits the practical application of these materials in their current form. The poor solubility of the poly(ionomer) also prevented film formation by direct solution casting.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The polymers were synthesized via Stille polycondensation. Trimer structures were modeled by DFT calculations to understand the systems’ electronic and geometric structure.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The monomers used were 5,8-dibromo-2-[5-(2-hexyldecyl)-2-thienyl]-1H-dithieno[3,2-e:20,30-g]benzimidazole (DTBI), 4,7-bis[4-hexyl-5-(trimethylstannyl)-2-thienyl]-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD), and 2,6-bis(trimethylstannyl)-4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b0]dithiophene (BDT).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments used include NMR spectrometers, GPC system, MALDI-ToF mass spectrometer, UV–vis absorption spectrometer, photoluminescence spectrometer, and cyclic voltammetry setup.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved microwave heating for polymerization, followed by characterization using various spectroscopic and thermal analysis techniques.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using DFT calculations for modeling and standard spectroscopic techniques for characterization.
