Abstract

View all references Thiophene-based materials have numerous useful properties: they are electroactive and fluorescent; are chemically stable and allow a great diversity in molecular structures and functional properties; display 'plasticity' in adapting their geometry to the environment in the solid state and in creating supramolecular self-assemblies; and have the capability to finely interact with biologically relevant molecules such as intracellular proteins. They have been ...
