- A ruthenium porphyrin-based porous organic polymer for the hydrosilylative reduction of CO2 to formate
-
A ruthenium porphyrin-based porous organic polymer (POP) was synthesized, characterized, and used to reduce CO2 to a formate salt. We demonstrate that Ru-BBT-POP can be utilized to reduce CO2 to a silyl formate and then converted to potassium formate with a respectable turnover number and frequency.

- Novel 4,8-benzobisthiazole copolymers and their field-effect transistor and photovoltaic applications
-
A series of copolymers containing the benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bis(thiazole) (BBT) unit has been designed and synthesised with bisthienyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), dithienopyrrole (DTP), benzothiadiazole (BT), benzodithiophene (BDT) or 4,4′-dialkoxybithiazole (BTz) comonomers. The resulting polymers possess a conjugation pathway that is orthogonal to the more usual substitution pathway through the 2,6-positions of the BBT unit, facilitating intramolecular non-covalent interactions between strategically placed heteroatoms of neighbouring monomer units. Such interactions enable a control over the degree of planarity through altering their number and strength, in turn allowing for tuning of the band gap. The resulting 4,8-BBT materials gave enhanced mobility in p-type organic field-effect transistors of up to 2.16 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1 for pDPP2ThBBT and good solar cell performance of up to 4.45% power conversion efficiency for pBT2ThBBT.
