Aggregation-Free Organic Dyes Featuring Spiro[dibenzo[3,4:6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]quinoxaline-10,9'-fluorene] (SDBQX) for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Three novel organic dyes coded as FHD4-1, FHD4-2, and FHD4-3 featuring spiro[dibenzo[3,4:6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]quinoxaline-10,9'-fluorene] (SDBQX) moieties are designed to inhibit dye aggregation to improve the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The consistent absorption onsets of FHD4-1, FHD4-2, and FHD4-3 in solutions and adsorbed on TiO₂ films indicate that these dyes are aggregation-free dyes. Therefore, coadsorption with chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) of these three dyes reduces the performance of DSSCs because no inhibition effect for dye aggregation is needed, but, on the contrary, the dye loading amount is reduced after addition of CDCA.

Coplanar Donor-?-Acceptor Dyes Featuring a Furylethynyl Spacer for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

Project description:Coplanar metal-free organic dyes featuring a furylethynyl spacer with different donor residues (MeO-, MeS-, and Me?N-) have been synthesized. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations predicted that the Me?N- residue would facilitate more effective charge transfer from donor to acceptor than the MeO- and MeS- residues. In agreement with DFT calculations, the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) fabricated with the Me?N- functionalized dye exhibited the best power conversion efficiency (?), 2.88%. Furthermore, the effect of the furan spacer on the photophysical properties and DSSC parameters are discussed in comparison to a previously reported thiophene counterpart.

2',7'-Di-bromo-spiro-[cyclo-propane-1,9'-fluorene].

Project description:In the title compound, C15H10Br2, each mol-ecule is situated on special postion mm, so the asymmetric unit contains one-quater of a mol-ecule. The 2,7-di-bromo-9H-fluorene fragment and three spiro-cyclo-propane C atoms lie on different planes, which are perpendicular to each other. In the crystal, ?-? inter-actions between aromatic rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.699?(3)?Å] pack the mol-ecules into stacks extending in [001].

Computational Investigation of Tuning the Electron-Donating Ability in Metal-Free Organic Dyes Featuring an Azobenzene Spacer for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

Project description:A series of donor??-conjugated spacer?acceptor (D???A) organic dyes featuring an azobenzene spacer were designed as chromic dyes and investigated computationally. The electron-donating strength was modified by introducing electron-donating units to the donor side. In particular, the trans?cis isomerization of the azobenzene-based dyes and its effect on the optical and electronic properties were further scrutinized. In both trans and cis conformers, a gradual increase in electron-donating strength promoted the natural charge separation between donor and acceptor moieties, thereby allowing the absorption of a longer wavelength of visible light. Importantly, the conformational change of the azobenzene bridge resulted in different absorption spectra and light-harvesting properties. The azobenzene-based dyes will open up a new research path for chromic dye-sensitized solar cells.

Synthesis of functionalized spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyridines] and spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyridinones] via one-pot four-component reactions.

Project description:In the presence of triethylamine as catalyst, the one-pot four-component reactions of arylamines, methyl propiolate, isatin and malononitrile afforded the functionalized spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyridine] derivatives in good yields. Similar reactions with ethyl cyanoacetate successfully afforded the functionalized spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyridines] and spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyridinones] as the main products according to the structures of the arylamines and other primary amines.

A tris-spiro metalla-aromatic system featuring Craig-Mobius aromaticity.

Project description:As aromaticity is one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry, the construction of aromatic systems has long been an important subject. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a tris-spiroaromatic complex, hexalithio spiro vanadacycle 2. The delocalization of the four electrons within the two V 3d orbitals and the π* orbitals of the three biphenyl ligands leads to a 40π Craig-Möbius aromatic system with three metalla-aromatic rings, as revealed by both experimental measurements and theoretical analyses. For comparison, if Cr is used instead of V, a similar Craig-Möbius aromatic system can not be generated. In this case, pentalithio spiro chromacycle 3 is obtained, and the Cr center uses its two 3d orbitals to form two independent metalla-aromatic rings. This work presents a type of aromatic systems that will contribute to both aromaticity theory and organometallic chemistry.

High pressure assisted synthetic approach for novel 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine and 5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline derivatives and their assessment as anticancer agents.

Project description:A novel, expedient and effective methodology for the synthesis of distinctly substituted 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine and 5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline systems has been developed with a new synthetic platform. This process includes ammonium acetate-mediated cyclocondensation reactions of 3-oxo-2-arylhydrazonopropanals with benzosuberone and tetralone precursors, respectively, using the high-pressure Q-tube reactor, which has been found to be superior to both conventional heating and microwave irradiation. The novel protocol benefits from its high atom efficiency, economy, ease of workup, broad substrate scope and is also applicable to gram-scale synthesis. To identify and confirm the newly synthesized targeted compounds, the X-ray single-crystal as well as all possible spectroscopic methods were utilized. The cytotoxicity of the newly synthesized 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine 4a-j and 5,6-dihydrobenzo-[h]quinolines derivatives 6a-e were preliminary examined toward three cell lines of human cancer; lung cancer (A549), breast cancer (MCF-7) and colon cancer (HCT-116), by applying the MTT colorimetric assay. The achieved results reflected the promising profile of the prepared compounds in this study against cancer cells and have shown that members from the synthesized 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine 4a-j exhibited promising cytotoxicity's against MCF-7, and A549 cancer cells respectively, while the HCT-116 (colon) cancer cells were inhibited by certain examples of 5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline derivatives 6c,d. These promising results could serve as a good primary base for further research into the design of anticancer drugs.
