A TTFVpyrene-based copolymer: synthesis, redox properties, and aggregation behaviour

A new -conjugated copolymer having TTFV and pyrene repeat units was synthesized and found to exhibit reversible redox activity, while the self-aggregation behaviour in solution phase was found to be responsive to external stimuli (solvent and pH). A new -conjugated copolymer containing tetrathiafulv...

Description
Summary:A new -conjugated copolymer having TTFV and pyrene repeat units was synthesized and found to exhibit reversible redox activity, while the self-aggregation behaviour in solution phase was found to be responsive to external stimuli (solvent and pH). A new -conjugated copolymer containing tetrathiafulvalene vinylogue and pyrene repeat units was synthesized and exhibited reversible redox activity, while the self-aggregation behaviour in the solution phase was responsive to external stimuli such as solvent and pH value.
