Tuning J-aggregate Formation and Emission Efficiency in Cationic Diazapentacenium Dyes.

ABSTRACT: Enhancement of the luminescence efficiency of two new diazapentacenium salts (D1 and D2) of more than 55 for D1 and 22 times for D2) in poor solvents, acetonitrile and/or dichloromethane, was observed and rationalized as formation of emissive J-aggregates. Both compounds displaying 4-n-decylphenyl substituents at the 7,14-carbons and phenyl (D1) or 2,6-difluorophenyl (D2) substituents at the quaternary nitrogen atoms in 5,12-positions have been synthetized in a two-step procedure involving a two-fold Buchwald-Hartwig-type CN cross-coupling and an electrophilic Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization. The optical properties of the dicationic diazapentacenium salts in various solvents and in thin films have been investigated by steady-state and time-resolved absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies. In thin films and in good solvents, isolated molecules coexist with aggregates. Nonetheless, D1 is seven times more emissive than D2, reflecting a higher J-aggregate contribution in the former.

Tuning the Emission of Cationic Iridium (III) Complexes Towards the Red Through Methoxy Substitution of the Cyclometalating Ligand.

Project description:The synthesis, characterization and evaluation in solid-state devices of a series of 8 cationic iridium complexes bearing different numbers of methoxy groups on the cyclometallating ligands are reported. The optoelectronic characterization showed a dramatic red shift in the absorption and the emission and a reduction of the electrochemical gap of the complexes when a methoxy group was introduced para to the Ir-C bond. The addition of a second or third methoxy group did not lead to a significant further red shift in these spectra. Emission maxima over the series ranged from 595 to 730?nm. All complexes possessing a motif with a methoxy group at the 3-position of the cyclometalating ligands showed very short emission lifetimes and poor photoluminescence quantum yields whereas complexes having a methoxy group at the 4-position were slightly blue shifted compared to the unsubstituted parent complexes, resulting from the inductively electron withdrawing nature of this directing group on the Ir-C bond. Light-emitting electrochemical cells were fabricated and evaluated. These deep red emitters generally showed poor performance with electroluminescence mirroring photoluminescence. DFT calculations accurately modelled the observed photophysical and electrochemical behavior of the complexes and point to an emission from a mixed charge transfer state.

Emission and Color Tuning of Cyanostilbenes and White Light Emission.

Project description:White-light-emitting diodes are energy efficiency replacement of conventional lighting sources. Herein, we report the luminescent behavior of three simple cyanostilbenes with triphenylamine-donating groups bearing different electron-withdrawing groups (phenyl, pyridyl, and p-nitrophenyl) in a common donor (D)-?-acceptor (A) ?-cyanostilbene construct along with their thermal and electrochemical properties. The density functional theory (DFT) studies reveal that aggregation-induced emission characteristic feature of the D-?-A dyes is inversely proportional to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, that is, phenyl-and pyridyl-substituted compounds show characteristic aggregation-induced emission in water, whereas the ICT effect is dominant for the nitro derivative. The extent of ICT and the solvatochromic emission shifts, from blue to red, depend on the strength of the electron-withdrawing group. White luminescence and tunable emission colors are obtained by careful admixtures of these cyanostilbenes bearing triphenylamines. The results rationalized through DFT and time-dependent DFT calculations follow a consistent trend with the energy levels measured from the electrochemical and optical studies. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry studies showed excellent thermal stability of the compounds. The scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements were performed to reveal the formation of aggregates. This strategy involving synthetically simple and structurally similar molecules with different emission properties has potential applications in the fabrication of multicolor and white-light-emitting materials.

Tuning Photodynamic Properties of BODIPY Dyes, Porphyrins' Little Sisters.

Project description:The photodynamic properties of a series of non-halogenated, dibrominated and diiodinated BODIPYs with a phthalimido or amino end modification on the phenoxypentyl and phenoxyoctyl linker in the meso position were investigated. Halogen substitution substantially increased the singlet oxygen production based on the heavy atom effect. This increase was accompanied by a higher photodynamic activity against skin melanoma cancer cells SK-MEL-28, with the best compound reaching an EC50 = 0.052 ± 0.01 µM upon light activation. The dark toxicity (toxicity without light activation) of all studied dyes was not detected up to the solubility limit in cell culture medium (10 µM). All studied BODIPY derivatives were predominantly found in adiposomes (lipid droplets) with further lower signals colocalized in either endolysosomal vesicles or the endoplasmic reticulum. A detailed investigation of cell death indicated that the compounds act primarily through the induction of apoptosis. In conclusion, halogenation in the 2,6 position of BODIPY dyes is crucial for the efficient photodynamic activity of these photosensitizers.

Chiral Organic Dyes Endowed with Circularly Polarized Laser Emission.

Project description:The direct generation of efficient, tunable, and switchable circularly polarized laser emission (CPLE) would have far-reaching implications in photonics and material sciences. In this paper, we describe the first chiral simple organic molecules (SOMs) capable of simultaneously sustaining significant chemical robustness, high fluorescence quantum yields, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) ellipticity levels (|glum|) comparable to those of similar CPL-SOMs. All these parameters altogether enable efficient laser emission and CPLE with ellipticity levels 2 orders of magnitude stronger than the intrinsic CPL ones.

Library of Cationic Organic Dyes for Visible-Light-Driven Photoredox Transformations.

Project description:Organic dyes can be excellent catalysts for photoredox chemistry, offering low price, low toxicity, and an exceptional range of available materials. Their use has been limited because in comparison to their transition-metal catalysts the spectroscopic, kinetic, and electrochemical information available is far more limited. To remediate this situation, we have determined the necessary data for 14 readily available dyes with excellent potential as photoredox catalysts. We have also demonstrated the utility of these dyes through visible-light-mediated reductive dehalogenation and Aza-Henry reactions. We envision that this collection of data will lead to an increase in the use of cationic dyes in photoredox processes because users will find the necessary information readily available.

A Magnetic Adsorbent for the Removal of Cationic Dyes from Wastewater.

Project description:In this article, a study was presented on the adsorption activity of a new nanocomposite particle Fe₃O₄@1, which was synthesized by combining [Cu(HL)₂]₂H₂[P₂Mo₅O23]·10H₂O (1) (HL = 2-acetylpyridine semicarbazone) and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction analyses revealed that Fe₃O₄@1 possessed high crystallinity with an average particle size of 19.1 nm. The adsorption activity of the as-prepared Fe₃O₄@1 was investigated by photometrically monitoring the removal of methylene blue, rhodamine B, safranine T, gentian violet, fuchsin basic, and methyl orange from aqueous solutions. Significantly, we could easily separate Fe₃O₄@1 from the reaction media by applying an external magnet. Furthermore, the recycling performance was observed using methylene blue, revealing the recyclability and high stability of Fe₃O₄@1. It was shown that Fe₃O₄@1 is a promising candidate material for adsorbing cationic dyes in aqueous media.

Panchromatic Fluorescence Emission from Thienosquaraines Dyes: White Light Electrofluorochromic Devices.

Project description:Electrofluorochromic devices (EFCDs) that allow the modulation of the light emitted by electroactive fluorophores are very attractive in the research field of optoelectronics. Here, the electrofluorochromic behaviour of a series of squaraine dyes was studied for the first time. In solutions, all compounds are photoluminescent with maxima located in the range 665-690 nm, characterized by quantum yields ranging from 30% to 4.1%. Squaraines were incorporated in a polymer gel used as an active layer in all-in-one gel switchable EFCDs. An aggregation induced quenching occurs in the gel phase, causing a significant decrease in the emission quantum yield in the device. However, the squaraines containing the thieno groups (thienosquaraines, TSQs) show a panchromatic emission and their electrofluorochromism allows the tuning of the fluorescence intensity from 500 nm to the near infrared. Indeed, the application of a potential difference to the device induces a reversible quenching of their emission that is significantly higher and occurs at shorter switching times for TSQs-based devices compared to the reference squaraine dye (DIBSQ). Interestingly, the TSQs fluorescence spectral profile becomes more structured under voltage, and this could be explained by the shift of the aggregates/monomer equilibrium toward the monomeric species, due to electrochemical oxidation, which causes the disassembling of aggregates. This effect may be used to modulate the colour of the fluorescence light emitted by a device and paves the way for conceiving new electrofluorochromic materials based on this mechanism.

Emission efficiency limit of Si nanocrystals.

Project description:One of the important obstacles on the way to application of Si nanocrystals for development of practical devices is their typically low emissivity. In this study we explore the limits of external quantum yield of photoluminescence of solid-state dispersions of Si nanocrystals in SiO2. By making use of a low-temperature hydrogen passivation treatment we demonstrate a maximum emission quantum efficiency of approximately 35%. This is the highest value ever reported for this type of material. By cross-correlating PL lifetime with EQE values, we obtain a comprehensive understanding of the efficiency limiting processes induced by Pb-defects. We establish that the observed record efficiency corresponds to an interface density of Pb-centers of 1.3 × 10(12) cm(12), which is 2 orders of magnitude higher than for the best Si/SiO2 interface. This result implies that Si nanocrystals with up to 100% emission efficiency are feasible.

Keratin/Hydrotalcites Hybrid Sponges as Promising Adsorbents for Cationic and Anionic Dyes.

Project description:In this work, keratin sponges were prepared by freeze-drying method and tested for adsorption of Azure A and Methyl Orange dyes. The obtained materials showed a porosity of 99.92% and a mean pore size dimension of about 91 ?m. The use of oxidized sucrose with a heating treatment at 150°C was demonstrated to be a useful crosslinking procedure alternative to the conventional glutaraldehyde. Keratin sponges showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 0.063 and of 0.037 mmol/g for Azure A and Methyl Orange, respectively. The absorption of the cationic dye Azure A onto keratin sponges was better described by Freundlich model while the isotherm adsorption of the anionic Methyl Orange was found to correlate with both Langmuir and Freundlich models. The mean free energies evaluated by using the D-R model indicated a physisorption of Methyl Orange and a chemisorptions of Azure A onto keratin sponges. Finally, the functionalization of keratin sponges with Zn Al hydrotalcites nanoparticles did not affect the adsorption performances of the adsorbent toward the cationic dye Azure A, while it improved those toward the anionic Methyl Orange, increasing the related removal efficiencies from 43 to 96%. Collectively, the reported data indicates that the combination of keratin with hydrotalcites nanoparticles is a good strategy to obtain more functional adsorbent materials of potential interest for water treatment and purification.

Composite Photocatalysts Containing BiVO<sub>4</sub> for Degradation of Cationic Dyes.

Project description:The creation of composite structures is a commonly employed approach towards enhanced photocatalytic performance, with one of the key rationales for doing this being to separate photoexcited charges, affording them longer lifetimes in which to react with adsorbed species. Here we examine three composite photocatalysts using either WO3, TiO2 or CeO2 with BiVO4 for the degradation of model dyes Methylene Blue and Rhodamine B. Each of these materials (WO3, TiO2 or CeO2) has a different band edge energy offset with respect to BiVO4, allowing for a systematic comparison of these different arrangements. It is seen that while these offsets can afford beneficial charge transfer (CT) processes, they can also result in the deactivation of certain reactions. We also observed the importance of localized dye concentrations, resulting from a strong affinity between it and the surface, in attaining high overall photocatalytic performance, a factor not often acknowledged. It is hoped in the future that these observations will assist in the judicious selection of semiconductors for use as composite photocatalysts.
