<p>We have considered three two-dimensional (2D) π-conjugated polymer networks (i.e., covalent organic frameworks, COFs) materials based on pyrene, porphyrin, and zinc-porphyrin cores connected <i>via</i> diacetylenic linkers. Their electronic structures, investigated at the density functional theory global-hybrid level, are indicative of valence and conduction bands that have large widths, ranging between 1 and 2 eV. Using a molecular approach to derive the electronic couplings between adjacent core units and the electron-vibration couplings, the three π-conjugated 2D COFs are predicted to have ambipolar charge-transport characteristics with electron and hole mobilities in the range of 65-95 cm<sup>2</sup>V<sup>-1</sup>s<sup>-1</sup>. Such predicted values rank these 2D COFs among the highest-mobility organic semiconductors. In addition, we have synthesized the zinc-porphyrin based 2D COF and carried out structural characterization via powder X-ray diffraction and surface area analysis, which demonstrates the feasability of these electroactive networks.</p>

AbstractThe need of intelligent implant materials for applications in the area of minimally invasive surgery leads to tremendous attention for polymers which combine degradability and shape-memory capability. Application of heat, and thereby exceeding a certain switching temperature Tsw, causes the device to changes its shape. The precise control of Tsw is particularly challenging. It was investigated in how far Tg, that can be used as Tsw, of amorphous polymer networks from star-shaped polyester macrotetrols crosslinked with a low-weight linker can be controlled systematically by incorporation of different comonomers into poly(rac-lactide) prepolymers. The molecular mass of the prepolymers as well as type and content of the comonomers was varied. The Tg could be adjusted by selection of comonomer type and ratio without affecting the advantageous elastic properties of the polymer networks.
