Preparation, Electronic and Liquid Crystalline Properties of Electron-Accepting Azaacene Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: A series of electron-accepting azaacene-type materials 1-4 with different kinds and degrees of intermolecular interactions were synthesized. Simple modification of the terminal substituents significantly modulated the photophysical and electrochemical properties. The degree of weak intermolecular interaction determined the emergence of a liquid crystalline (LC) phase for each compound. Dipole-dipole interaction, ?-? interaction, and van der Waals interaction all contributed to stabilize the LC phase of 1 and 2. The introduction of strong hydrogen bonding interaction enabled the formation of a highly ordered LC phase in 4. Charge-transport properties of 1, 2, and 4 were also investigated.

Optical and electronic properties of air-stable organoboron compounds with strongly electron-accepting bis(fluoromesityl)boryl groups.

Project description:Three compounds with phenyl (1), 4-tert-butylphenyl (2) and 4-N,N-diphenylaminophenyl (3) groups attached to bis(fluoromesityl)boryl ((FMes)2B) through B-C bonds have been prepared. The restricted rotation about the B-C bonds of boron-bonded aryl rings in solution has been studied by variable-temperature 19F NMR spectroscopy, and through-space F-F coupling has been observed for 3 at low temperature. Steric congestion inhibits binding of 1 by Lewis bases DABCO and tBu3P and the activation of H2 in their presence. Photophysical and electrochemical studies have been carried out on 2, 3, and an analogue of 3 containing a bis(mesityl)boryl ((Mes)2B) group, namely 4. Both 2 and 3 show bright emission in nonpolar solvents and in the solid-state, very strong electron-accepting ability as measured by cyclic voltammetry, and good air-stability. In addition, 2 displayed unusually long-lived emission (τ = 2.47 s) in 2-MeTHF at 77 K. The much stronger acceptor strength of (FMes)2B than (Mes)2B leads to significantly red-shifted emission in solution and the solid state, stronger emission solvatochromism, and significantly lower reduction potentials. Theoretical calculations confirm that 2 and 3 tend to form highly twisted excited states with good conjugation between one FMes group and the boron atom, which correlate well with their blue-shifted solid-state emissions and low kr values in solution.

Sulfur-oleyl amine platelet derivatives with liquid crystalline behavior.

Project description:A novel sulfur-based platelet derivative was synthesized by reacting elemental sulfur with oleyl amine. The sulfur-oleyl amine (S-OA) derivative has an ionic salt form, layered morphology and forms a highly lamellar structure. Polarized optical microscopy (POM) clearly shows the birefringent lyotropic liquid crystalline behavior of the S-OA platelets dispersions.

Preparation and Characterization of Crystalline Silicon by Electrochemical Liquid-Liquid-Solid Crystal Growth in Ionic Liquid.

Project description:The electrodeposition at low temperature for the direct growth of crystalline thin films without any templating agent in ionic liquid (IL) is a relatively new electrochemical synthetic strategy. This work studied the role of the deposition temperature, deposition time, and different working electrodes in the electrodeposition of crystalline Si thin films from the byproduct silicon tetrachloride in IL at low temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the as-deposited Si films were crystalline at the temperature of 80 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy further indicated that the crystalline quality of the as-deposited silicon film was relatively the best when the electrodeposition time reached 1 h at the temperature of 100 °C; excessive electrodeposition would yield amorphous silicon on the surface of the as-deposit crystalline Si, which decreased the crystal quality of the Si film. The SEM and XRD, respectively, revealed that the crystal structure of Si yielded on e-InGa was significantly different from that produced on Ga and more impurities existed in the film. Research on the influence of these parameters on crystallinity and morphological characteristics of Si gives better control over the growth of crystalline Si thin films for specific applications.

Silver Nanoparticles with Liquid Crystalline Ligands Based on Lactic Acid Derivatives.

Project description:We have prepared and studied silver nanoparticles functionalized with ligands based on lactic acid derivatives. Several types of hybrid systems that differed in the size of silver nanoparticles as well as the length of surface ligands were analyzed. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation provided information about the size and shape of nanoparticles and proved good homogeneity of studied systems. By dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements, we have measured the size distribution of nanoparticle systems. Plasmonic resonance was detected at around 450 nm. For two hybrid systems, the mesomorphic behaviour has been demonstrated by x-ray measurements. The observed thermotropic liquid crystalline phases reveal lamellar character. We have proposed a model based on self-assembly of intercalated liquid crystalline ligands.

Preparation of Luminescent Thermotropic Liquid Crystal from Benzodiathiazole Derivatives.

Project description:Luminescent liquid crystal materials (LLCMs) have been a hot research topic in the field of fluorescent materials. In this study, we successfully designed and synthesized an intense fluorescence thermotropic liquid crystal material with a fluorescence quantum yield (?) of 0.26 in the solid state. Moreover, the alkyl chain attached to the terminus of the chromophore was able to promote the stability of electrochemical and thermal properties, which was beneficial to the device fabrication reproducibility and stability of the device performance.

Synthesis and regiochemistry of [60]fullerenyl 2-methylmalonate bisadducts and their facile electron-accepting properties.

Project description:A simple one-pot reaction using in situ chemically generated Na-naphthalenide as an electron reductant in the preferential generation of C(60)(2-) is described. Trapping of C(60)(2-) intermediate with 2 molar equiv of sterically hindered 2-bromo-2-methylmalonate ester afforded two singly bonded fullerenyl bisadducts C(60)[-CMe(CO(2)Et)(2)](2) in 35% and 7% yield, respectively. The regiochemistry of these two products was determined to be 1,4- and 1,16-bisadducts, respectively, by NMR, UV-vis-NIR, LCMS, and X-ray single crystal structural analysis. The minor 1,16-bisadduct 2 exhibits long wavelength absorption bands in the near-IR region and prominent electron-accepting characteristics as compared with those of the major 1,4-bisadduct and pristine C(60). As revealed by DFT calculation, we propose that the origin of these unusual characters of 2 arises from the moiety of [18pi]-trannulene, in close resemblance to that of the highly symmetrical emerald green 1,16,29,38,43,60-hexaadduct of C(60), EF-6MC(n). Accordingly, we anticipate a fast progressive formation of plausible 1,16-bisadduct-like intermediate moieties on a C(60) cage as the precursor structure leading to the formation of EF-6MC(n), by taking the corresponding regiochemistry and electronic properties into account.

Crystalline structure, electronic and lattice-dynamics properties of NbTe2.

Project description:Layered-structure materials are currently relevant given their quasi-2D nature. Knowledge of their physical properties is currently of major interest. Niobium ditelluride possesses a monoclinic layered-structure with a distortion in the tellurium planes. This structural complexity has hindered the determination of its fundamental physical properties. In this work, NbTe2 crystals were used to elucidate its structural, compositional, electronic and vibrational properties. These findings have been compared with calculations based on density functional theory. The chemical composition and elemental distribution at the nanoscale were obtained through atom probe tomography. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy allowed the first determination of the work function of NbTe2. Its high value, 5.32?eV, and chemical stability allow foreseeing applications such as contact in optoelectronics. Raman spectra were obtained using different excitation laser lines: 488, 633, and 785?nm. The vibrational frequencies were in agreement with those determined through density functional theory. It was possible to detect a theoretically-predicted, low-frequency, low-intensity Raman active mode not previously observed. The dispersion curves and electronic band structure were calculated, along with their corresponding density of states. The electrical properties, as well as a pseudo-gap in the density of states around the Fermi energy are characteristics proper of a semi metal.

Novel maleic anhydride derivatives: liquid crystalline materials with enhanced mesomorphic and optical characteristics.

Project description:A new class of liquid crystalline materials, 4-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl 4-(alkoxy)benzoates (Mn), derived from maleic anhydride, was synthesized and studied for mesomorphic and optical properties. These materials consist of three derivatives with varying terminal flexible chain lengths (6-12 carbons) linked to the phenyl ring near the ester bond. The study employed differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy (POM) to characterize the mesomorphic properties. Molecular structures were elucidated using elemental analysis, FT-IR, and NMR spectroscopy. The findings reveal that all the synthesized maleic anhydride derivatives exhibit enantiotropic nematic (N) mesophases. The insertion of the heterocyclic maleic anhydride moiety into the molecular structure influences the stability and range of the N phase. Additionally, entropy changes during N-isotropic transitions are of small magnitude and exhibit non-linear trends independent of the terminal alkoxy chain length (n). This suggests that the ester linkage group does not significantly promote molecular biaxiality, and the clearing temperature values are relatively high. By comparing the investigated materials with their furan derivatives found in existing literature, it was established that the substitution examined in this study induces the formation of nematic phases.

Double-twist cylinders in liquid crystalline cholesteric blue phases observed by transmission electron microscopy.

Project description:Cholesteric blue phases are liquid crystalline phases in which the constituent rod-like molecules spontaneously form three-dimensional, helical structures. Despite theoretical predictions that they are composed of cylindrical substructures within which the liquid crystal molecules are doubly twisted, real space observation of the arrangement of such structures had not been performed. Through transmission electron microscopy of photopolymerized blue phases with controlled lattice plane orientations, we report real space observation and comparison of the lattice structures of blue phases I and II. The two systems show distinctly different contrasts, reflecting the theoretically predicted, body centred and simple cubic arrangement of the double-twist cylinders. Transmission electron microscopy also reveals different tendencies of the two blue phases to align on unidirectionally rubbed surfaces. We thus show that TEM observation of alignment-controlled, photopolymerized liquid crystals can be a powerful tool to investigate complex liquid crystalline order.

Charge transport modulation in pseudorotaxane 1D stacks of acene and azaacene derivatives.

Project description:Acenes have received a lot of attention because of their inherent and tunable absorbing, emissive, and charge transport properties for electronic, photovoltaic, and singlet fission applications, among others. Such properties are directly governed by molecular packing, and therefore, controlling their arrangement in the solid state is of utmost importance in order to increase their performance. Herein, we describe a new solid-state ordering strategy that allows obtaining 1D mixed π-stacks of acene and azaacene derivatives. In addition, we illustrate that charge transport can be modulated by the electronic nature of the encapsulated phenazine, opening new perspectives in the design, preparation and development of supramolecular organic semiconductors.
