Many of today’s flexible electronic devices can trace their ancestry back to the first synthesis of linear polyacetylene in 1958. Now, researchers have used a highly active catalyst to create ...

Polyacetylene (PA) is one-dimensional carbon chain with alternating single and double carbon-carbon bonds, which is also the first synthesized conductive polymer. Although the structural unit is ...

A recent article published in Polymers demonstrated density functional theory (DFT)-based first-principle calculations to analyze the influence of inter-oligomer interactions on photoluminescence ...

In this case, they arranged the carbon atoms into the shape of the organic compound polyacetylene, which is made up of a repeating chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms with an alternating pattern of ...
