      2-(2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorophenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, a fluorine-rich building block for the preparation of conjugated polymer donors for organic solar cell applications 

      Neophytou, Marios; Ioannidou, Heraklidia A.; Ioannou, Theodosia A.; Chochos, Christos L.; Economopoulos, Solon P.; Koutentis, Panayiotis Andreas; Itskos, Grigorios; Choulis, Stelios A. (2012)
      We have introduced the pentafluorophenyl substituted benzimidazole as a building block of conjugated polymers for optoelectronic applications. We present the synthesis of a copolymer bearing fluorene as the comonomer. A ...

      Analysis of the excited-state absorption spectral bandshape of oligofluorenes 

      Hayes, Sophia C.; Silva, C. (2010)
      We present ultrafast transient absorption spectra of two oligofluorene derivatives in dilute solution. These spectra display a photoinduced absorption band with clear vibronic structure, which we analyze rigorously using ...

      Effect of molecular weight on the vibronic structure of a diketopyrrolopyrrole polymer 

      Hayes, Sophia C.; Pieridou, Galatia K.; Vezie, M.; Few, S.; Bronstein, H.; Meager, I.; McCulloch, I.; Nelson, J. (SPIE, 2016)
      Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (RRS) is employed in this study to examine the influence of molecular weight on the optical response of a diketopyrrolopyrrole polymer (DPP-TT-T) in solution. The vibronic structure observed ...

      Exploring the origin of high optical absorption in conjugated polymers 

      Vezie, M. S.; Few, S.; Meager, I.; Pieridou, Galatia K.; Dörling, B.; Ashraf, R. S.; Goñi, A. R.; Bronstein, H.; McCulloch, I.; Hayes, Sophia C.; Campoy-Quiles, M.; Nelson, J. (2016)
      The specific optical absorption of an organic semiconductor is critical to the performance of organic optoelectronic devices. For example, higher light-harvesting efficiency can lead to higher photocurrent in solar cells ...
