Π-conjugated system

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008558",
  "term": "Π-conjugated system",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A molecular system containing a series of alternating single and multiple bonds, or a system with delocalized pi electrons across adjacent p-orbitals. This arrangement allows for the delocalization of electrons, leading to enhanced electronic conductivity and optical properties. Conjugated polymers are widely used in organic electronics and optoelectronics.",
