poly(phenylene ethynylene)

02/28/2012 - "Molecular junctions based on SAMs of cruciform oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s."
05/15/2002 - "Different than hexadecanethiol, reversible peak-shaped i-V characteristics were obtained for most of the nitro-based oligo(phenylene ethynylene) SAMs studied here, indicating that part of the conduction mechanism of these junctions involved resonance tunneling. "
04/17/2020 - "For approaching the target, we have successfully fabricated solid-state junctions based on oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s (OPEs) and cruciform OPEs with extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) (OPE3 and OPE3-TTF) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with a diamine anchoring group. "
02/28/2012 - "Cruciform oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s (OPEs) with an extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) donor moiety (OPE5-TTF and OPE3-TTF) and their simple analogues (OPE5-S and OPE3) without conjugated substituents were used to form high-quality self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on ultraflat gold substrates. "
08/21/2011 - "Rigid rod oligo(phenylene-ethynylene-butadiynylene)s (oPEBs), "half-rings" of two rigid rods connected via a molecular clamp unit, and shape-persistent macrocycles (cyclic "half-ring dimers") are synthesized and their self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at the interface of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB)/highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). "

03/29/2017 - "The poly(phenylene ethynylene) terthiophene polymer backbone contributes to the polymer's light-harvesting property to ensure the strong fluorescence as well as photosensitization, whereas quantanary ammonium side chains interact with target organelle for localization. "
07/25/2018 - "In this work, we introduced a trace amount of cationic poly(phenylene ethynylene)s (cPPEs) into the polymeric shell of branched polyethylenimine (BPEI)/DNA complexes, studied the photosensitization of singlet oxygen by cPPEs, and confirmed that the supercoiled DNA is undamaged by the singlet oxygen generated by the photoexcitation of cPPEs. "

01/01/2017 - "Commercially available cationic polyethylenimine polymer had LD50 of ca. 61.7 mg/kg in mice, whereas no animal died after injection of the cationic PPE polymer at a dose of >130 mg/kg. Neutral PPE nanoparticles were able to encapsulate two hydrophobic drugs, namely, sorafenib and paclitaxel, which are commonly used for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. "
