Lately, organic semiconductor materials have become essential in creating a more pleasant atmosphere for
humanity. Thus, it is important to develop unfamiliar, high-performing conjugated materials. A summary of the most
recent developments in the synthesis of poly-arylenevinylenes (PAVs), such as poly-phenylenevinylenes (PPVs).
Furthermore, there are three main categories for the synthetic methodologies: P-Quinodimethane Intermediates
Polymerization by an anionic and free radical mechanism in protic and non-protic solvents, Olefin Metathesis
Polymerizations via living ROMP and Acyclic-Diene Metathesis (ADMET), and C-C Coupling Polymerizations by using
three different techniques such as Mizoroki-Heck coupling, Suzuki coupling and Stille coupling. Ultimately, this overview
offers a few different potential applications for PPVs, exemplified by the electroluminescence properties of PPVs which
utilized in light-emitting diodes and organic solar cells. |
