Abstract

Three, 2, 5-diphenyl-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole-containing vinyl monomers and their polymers were synthesized and the HOMO and LUMO energies of the compounds, as estimated from cyclic voltammetry data, were− 6.35 to− 6.14 eV and− 3.02 to− 2.84 eV, respectively. The optical band gaps (Eg) were similar to those determined from cyclic voltammograms. The fluorescent emission spectra of all monomers and polymers displayed either blue or green ...
