Supramolecular Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) with Dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]pyrrole (DTP) Containing Conjugated Polymers

Fluorene and dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]pyrrole (DTP) containing conjugated polymers, {2,7-[9,9-didodecylfluorene]-alt-2,6-[N-dodecyldithieno(3,2-b:2′,3′-d)pyrrole]} (PF-DTP1) and {2,7-[9,9-didodecylfluorene]-alt-2,6-[N-3,4,5(n-dodecyloxy)phenyldithieno(3,2-b:2′,3′-d)pyrrole]} (PF-DTP2), have been successfully synthesized using Suzuki polycondensation. These polymers possess excellent thermal stability with decomposition temperatures over 365 °C …
