Article Abstract
In the present study, a series of crystalline poly(arylene-ethynylene) copolymers containing phenylethynylene and 2,5-dialkoxy-phenylethynylene units together with 1,3,4-thiadiazole rings has been modeled by means of periodic calculations. Optimized three-dimensional polymeric structures show interchain distances that are consistent with the experimental values reported for a related polymer. It has also been observed that the presence of pendant alkoxy chains brings on both a further flattening and a separation of the coplanar chains. This fact is linked to a decrease of the interchain cofacial distance. The electron transport character of the polymer crystal structures was assessed through Marcus theory. Electronic coupling between neighboring polymer chains is most influenced by the presence of alkoxy chains giving rise to an expectable enhancement of the electron hopping mobility.

Context: Luminescent liquid crystals, particularly those derived from heterocyclic quinoxalines and benzochalcogenadiazoles, have garnered interest for their combined photophysical and mesomorphic properties. These compounds feature central heterocycles (selenium, oxygen, sulfur, or quinoxaline) connected to phenyl groups via triple bonds, with terminal alkoxy chains of uniform length. Their photophysical properties arise from conjugated systems involving delocalized electrons, while mesomorphic behavior depends on chain size and functional groups.

In this study, a series of novel alkoxylated resorcinarenes were synthesized using secondary and tertiary alcohols under mild catalytic conditions involving iminodiacetic acid. Structural characterization, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction, confirmed the successful incorporation of branched alkyl chains and highlighted the influence of substitution patterns on molecular packing. Notably, detailed mass spectrometric analysis revealed that, under specific conditions, the reaction pathway may shift toward the formation of defined oligomeric species with supramolecular characteristics-an observation that adds a new dimension to the synthetic potential of this system.

Three thiophene-based spacer-containing mesogens with a rigid core made up of three phenyl rings and a terminal dimethylamino group are synthesized and revealed to exhibit enantiotropic nematic mesophase. In these mesogens, thiophene is connected to the rest of the molecule at the 2-position, 3-position, and 2,5-positions, respectively, to yield monomers and a dimer. The influence of the electron-releasing dimethylamino group on the mesophase transition temperatures is carried out by comparing the structurally similar mesogens reported in the literature in which dimethylamino is replaced by alkoxy chains.

Wooden biomass contains high amounts of lignocellulose, which is one of the main fuel components during wildfire events. Furthermore, its properties in the context of alternative energy carriers are of interest in recent research. In order to better analyze and understand these highly complex molecules and their fundamental combustion properties, a complexity reduction by using model compounds can be applied.

The microstructure of conjugated polymers critically influences their mechanical and electronic properties. Reducing crystallinity is a common approach to improve stretchability but often leads to diminished chain aggregation, which impairs charge transport. To address this trade-off, we introduce a dipole modulation strategy to decouple aggregation from crystallinity in conjugated polymers.
