The article was appeared in 《Macromolecules (Washington, DC, United States)》. They have made some progress in their research.Synthetic Route of C16H34O The article mentions the following:
Thiazole has been less focused, compared to thiophene, as the building unit for π-conjugated polymers that are used in organic electronic devices despite its electron deficiency and ability to coplanarize the polymer backbone, which are crucial for design of such π-conjugated polymers. Here, we show that bithiazole dicarboxylate ester (BETz), which is quite easily synthesized, is a promising building unit for π-conjugated polymers. Copolymers based on BETz, having unsubstituted bithiophene and bithiazole as counits, indeed form highly crystalline structures in thin films, which is beneficial for semiconducting properties. Of particular interest is that the BETz-based polymers are found to show electron-transport property even though the LUMO energy levels are not very low, as they show ambipolar and unipolar n-channel behaviors depending on the counit in organic transistor devices. We believe that BETz allows us to design a wide variety of π-conjugated polymers that provide fascinating functions in organic electronic devices. To complete the study, the researchers used 2-Hexyl-1-decanol (cas: 2425-77-6) .
2-Hexyl-1-decanol(cas: 2425-77-6) has been shown to inhibit the growth of b16 mouse melanoma cells, suggesting it may be useful for treating skin cancer.Synthetic Route of C16H34O This fatty acid also has transport properties and can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules.
