Abstract:
Multibranched pi-conjugated materials and hyperbranched polymers have received considerable interest in both academic research and industrial applications because of their unusual molecular structures and properties. In this communication, we provide an efficient approach to synthesize two novel pi-conjugated multibranch compounds, which have good solubility and are nanosize (about 5 nm). The double bonds of the multibranch compounds are synthesized using solvent-free Wittig-Horner-Emmons reactions. The reaction conditions are simple and mild. Their optical properties are discussed too.

Constitutional Isomers of Alkanes
The linear isomer of an alkane is prefixed by the term “n”; hence a linear isomer of pentane is known as n-pentane. Based on the type of branching, some of the branched isomers are given...

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
