A Multipotent Precursor Approach for the Preparation of High-Molecular Weight Conjugated Polymers with Redox Active Units (Small Methods 9/2025)

Abstract

Conjugated Polymers

In article number 2500488, Bella, Carlotti, and co-workers introduce a multipotent precursor strategy for the preparation of high molecular weight conjugated polymers. Through selective post-polymerization reactions, a single precursor yields distinct materials that were employed in organic field-effect transistors and lithium-ion battery cathodes. This unified approach enables tunable redox and electronic properties, advancing multifunctional polymer design for energy and electronic applications.
