Fast and Selective Post-polymerization Modification of Conjugated Polymers Using Dimethyldioxirane

Modification of functional groups attached to conjugated polymer backbones can drastically alter the material properties. Oxidation of electron-donating thioalkyl substituents to electron-withdrawing sulfoxides or sulfones is a particularly effective modification. However, so far, this reaction has...
