Homoconjugation effects in triptycene based organic optoelectronic materials
Jai-Ram Mistry, Stephanie Montanaro, Iain A. Wright
Abstract
Homoconjugation occurs when two aromatic rings are separated by a single non-conjugated atom. This is demonstrated in triptycene by the through-space overlap of the π-clouds of the aryl fins and can be used to enhance optoelectronic properties.
