  • Development of versatile synthetic protocols for monomers and conjugated polymers: poly(p-arylene vinylene) derivatives, polythiophene (co)polymers, low-band gap (co)polymers [poly(isothianaphthenes) (PITN), poly(cyclopentadithiophene-alt-benzothiadiazoles) (PCPDTBT), etc], n-type conjugated polymers (polyquinoxalines, etc), others
  • Soluble precursor polymers towards conjugated polymers
  • Ambipolar semiconductors
  • Aromatic p- and n-type molecules and oligomers (thiazolothiazoles, peri-xanthenoxanthenes, etc
  • Polar conjugated polymers soluble in environmentally friendly solvents
  • Conjugated polymers showing electronic and ionic conductivity
  • Functional donor or acceptor molecules towards self-assembling monolayers (SAMs)
  • 2D and 3D aromatic derivatives
  • Porphyrinoid chromophores
