Abstract
Open-shell oligomers and polymers have exhibited intriguing electronic and magnetic properties,making them highly desirable for a wide range of applications,including ambipolar organic field-effect transistors(OFETs),photodetectors,organic thermoelectrics,and spintronics.Although open-shell ground states have been observed in certain small molecules and doped organic semiconductors,the exploration of open-shell ground-state conjugated polymers is still limited,and the strategies for designing these polymers remain obscure.This review aims to briefly introduce the theory and characterization methods of open-shell conjugated polymers,along with an overview of recent progress and applica-tions.The objective is to stimulate further advancements and investigations in this promising area by shedding light on the potential of open-shell conjugated polymers and the challenges that lie ahead.
