Abstract

Imides Molecular Structure Naphthalenes Phenanthrolines - chemistry Sensitivity and Specificity Siloxanes - chemical synthesis Siloxanes - chemistry Spectrometry, Fluorescence - methods
Cyclic siloxanes with pendent naphthalene diimide groups were synthesized via hydrosilylation to form amorphous electron-accepting compounds. Photophysical measurements and >99.9% fluorescence quenching of well-known p-type polymers by the siloxanes demonstrate that these siloxanes form a new class of highly efficient n-type materials that provide some control over intermolecular interactions.
