title: Multivalent dithiafulvenyl functionalization of dendritic oligo(phenylene vinylene)s with an anthraquinodimethane core.
abstract: Redox-active dithiafulvenyl endgroups were attached to dendritic oligo(phenylene vinylene)s which contain a non-planar, twisted anthraquinodimethane core. The ability of these π-electron rich molecules to bind with nitrobenzene and its derivatives was demonstrated, and their electrochemically generated polymer thin films were tested as efficient sensors for nitrobenzene.
