Pillararene-enriched linear conjugated polymer materials with thiazolo[5,4- d]thiazole linkages for photocatalysis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jul 1;57(53):6546-6549. doi: 10.1039/d1cc02373j.

Abstract

A heteroatom-doped conjugated polymer with tunable bandgap is synthesized using pillararenes as the electron-rich C2 symmetric nodes and thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole as the electron-deficient linkage. The influence of pillararenes in regulating the band structure and photogenerated charge carrier transportation for photocatalytic environmental contaminant degradation has been revealed.
