PBCn
PBCn, or Poly(p-phenylene vinylene) derivatives, refers to a class of conjugated polymers that exhibit desirable electronic and optical properties. These materials are characterized by a backbone of alternating phenylene and vinylene units, often with various side chains attached to the phenylene rings. The specific chemical structure of the side chains significantly influences the polymer's solubility, processability, and electronic characteristics, such as its band gap and charge transport mobility.
The synthesis of PBCn typically involves polymerization reactions that build the conjugated backbone. Common methods include
Key applications for PBCn include organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), where they function as emissive or charge
