title: Synthesis of conjugated fluorene-alt-thiophene polymers with pendant perylenediimide units.
abstract: In this article we present the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical, optical, and preliminary photophysical investigation of two novel poly(fluorene-alt-thiophene) conjugated polymers endowed with pendant perylenediimide electron acceptor units. We show a route to the synthesis of easily functionalizable monomers paving the way to the preparation of a variety of functionalized polymers with different properties and applications and reflecting the versatility of this synthetic methodology.
