The Briseno Group recently published an article in the journal of The American Chemical Society entitled, "Synthesis, Electronic Structure, Molecular Packing/Morphology Evolution, and Carrier Mobilities of Pure Oligo/Poly (alkylthiophenes)".*Poly(thiophenes) are among the most highly investigated and promising semiconductor materials for applications in organic electronics. In this contribution, researchers emphasize the key role of the conjugation leng th on the electronic properties, the degree of crystallinity, thin film morphology and charge transport of oligothiophenes as a function of chain length. The oligothiophenes will serve as important model systems for understanding electrical, optical, optoelectronic, and theoretical properties of the corresponding polymer.
