Abstract: Narrow bandgap n-type small molecules are attracting attention in the near-infrared organic optoelectronics field, due to their easy tunable energy band with a molecular design flexibility. However, only a few reports demonstrate narrow bandgap non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) that perform well in organic solar cells (OSCs), and the corresponding benefits of NFA photodiodes have not been well investigated in organic photodetectors (OPDs). Here, the ultra-narrow bandgap NFAs CO1-4F, CO1-4Cl and o-IO1 were designed and synthesized for the achieved efficient near-infrared organic photodiodes such as solar cells and photodetectors. Designing an asymmetrical CO1-4F by introducing two different π-bridges including alkylthienyl and alkoxythienyl units ultimately provides an asymmetric A-D′-D-D″-A molecular configuration. This enables a delicate modulation in energy band structure as well as maintains an intense intramolecular charge transfer characteristic of the excited state.

Abstract: Methods compositions and articles of manufacture for assaying a sample for a target polynucleotide are provided. A sample suspected of containing the target polynucleotide is contacted with a polycationic multichromophore and a sensor polynucleotide complementary to the target polynucleotide. The sensor polynucleotide comprises a signaling chromophore to receive energy from the excited multichromophore and increase emission in the presence of the target polynucleotide. The methods can be used in multiplex form. Kits comprising reagents for performing such methods are also provided.

Abstract: Synthesis of lyotropic semiconducting polymers having novel side chains enabling control over crystalline fraction, crystalline orientation, and the unit cell (specifically the π-stacking distance). Moving the branch point in the side chain further from the conjugated backbone not only retains the lyotropic liquid crystalline behavior as observed by UV-vis and POM, but also achieves reduced π-stacking distance. This results in higher charge carrier mobility, reaching (in one or more examples) a mobility of at least 0.41 cm2V−1s−1 when the polymers were non-aligned.

Abstract: Design of side chains yielding highly amphiphilic conjugated polymers is proven to be an effective and general method to access lyotropic liquid crystalline mesophases, allowing greater control over crystalline morphology and improving transistor performance. The general strategy enables variations in structure and interactions that impact alignment and use of liquid crystalline alignment methods. Specifically, solvent-polymer interactions are harnessed to facilitate the formation of high quality polymer crystals in solution. Crystallinity developed in solution is then transferred to the solid state, and thin films of donor-acceptor copolymers cast from lyotropic solutions exhibit improved crystalline order in both the alkyl and π-stacking directions. Due to this improved crystallinity, transistors with active layers cast from lyotropic solutions exhibit a significant improvement in carrier mobility compared to those cast from isotropic solution. One or more embodiments of the present invention achieve a maximum carrier mobility of 0.61 cm2V−1s−1.
