Abstract:
A boost from the branches : Incorporation of the dithieno[3,2‐b:2′,3′‐d]phosphole system as a core in oligo(phenylenevinylene) dendrimers (an example is shown here) provides materials that exhibit energy‐transfer features relaying incoming photons from the dendrons towards the core, which in turn shows enhanced emission intensity. The optical properties and self‐assembly features of the dendrimers can be impacted by the terminal groups (‐H, ‐CF3, or ‐NPh2) employed.
