Small-molecule azomethines: Organic photovoltaics via Schiff base condensation chemistry

Conjugated small-molecule azomethines for photovoltaic applications were prepared via Schiff base condensation chemistry. Bulk heterojunction (BHJ) devices exhibit efficiencies of 1.2% with MoOx as the hole-transporting layer. The versatility and simplicity of the chemistry is illustrated by preparing a photovoltaic device directly from the...

Conjugated poly(azomethine)s via simple one-step polycondensation chemistry: Synthesis, thermal and optoelectronic properties

Three conjugated triphenylamine-based poly(azomethine)s were prepared via well-known polycondensation chemistry using cheap and readily available starting materials and the results were contrasted with rrP3HT. Three functionalized diaminetriphenylamines (TPA(X), X ¼ –H, –OMe, –CN) were polymerized in a simple one-step process with 2,3...
