Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | We are developing a range of conjugated molecules and polymers with terminal functional group for single molecule spectroscopy. The results show how the structure and processing of organic semiconductors affect their performance in solar cells. A particularly interesting finding was the use of a "templating additive" as a way of improving bulk heterojunction morphology and device performance. |
| Exploitation Route | We will disseminate key findings at meetings such as conference. A key paper that identifies control of the beta-phase in a single polymer chain has been published in the journal Matter. |

| Title | Primary data for the star-shaped oligofluorene materials with a tetraphenylethylene core |
| Description | The dataset contains all the figures in origin (for plots, can be accessed by Origin Lab software) and graphic (for photos, can be accessed by any graphic software such as photoshop, paintbrash etc) formats, all the NMR spectra folders (created by TopSpin software developed by Bruker Biospin, can be accessed either with the latter or with Mestre Nova NMR data processing and presentation package (Mestrelab) or with ACD/Labs software) to be published as the paper (Fluorene-containing tetraphenylethylene molecules as lasing materials) along with the main manuscript and supporting information files in the Microsoft Office Word format. |
