Abstract

Dendrimers with benzothiazole–benzoxazole surface groups and electron transporting triazole as bridging units and diphenyl sulfone as core unit were synthesized successfully by Cu (I)-catalysed Huisgen 'click reaction'using a convergent approach. All the dendrimers exhibit excellent optical and electrochemical properties. Higher-generation dendrimers exhibit better current generating capacity and show better power conversion efficiency ...
