Abstract:
A novel electron-deficient building block, 5,5'-diazaisoindigo (5DNIID), was synthesized through a facile method in good yield. As a derivative of isoindigo, 5DNIID shows an ultra-low LUMO level of -3.92 eV after incorporation of two electron-deficient nitrogen atoms into the para-position of the amine groups in the isoindigo π skeleton. Modified polymerization conditions were applied to efficiently afford the donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymer 5DNIID-2T, which exhibited a p-type charge transport property.

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...

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is more stable,...

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
