Molecular Engineering of the Band Gap of π‐Conjugated Systems: Facing Technological Applications
Abstract
For almost two decades, the search of an intrinsically‐conductive organic metal has represented the major driving force for research on control of the band gap of extended π‐conjugated systems. However, the emergence of the application of π‐conjugated oligomers and polymers in field‐effect transistors, light‐emitting diodes, electrochromic devices and solar cells has introduced major changes in the chemistry of gap engineering. Besides controlled band gap, active materials for electronic and photonic applications must present appropriate absorption and/or emission properties, highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO and LUMO) energy levels and charge‐transport properties. The aim of this short review is to present an overview of the recent trends in this area in order to identify possible directions for future research. magnified image

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
