Controlling polymer properties through dynamic metal-ligand interactions: supramolecular cruciforms made easy

A straightforward methodology towards the supramolecular synthesis of novel organometallic polymers with attractive optical properties is presented. By coordinating bifunctional fluorescent cruciform molecules through ditopic metalated pincer complexes (Pd or Pt), we have synthesized a new class of well-defined coordination polymers that have controllable and tunable physical and photophysical properties. The formation of these new materials by employing metal coordination was monitored by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, the association strength of the metal-ligand interaction was measured by isothermal titration calorimetry, the solution polymeric properties were evaluated by viscometry, and the optical properties were measured and observed by fluorescence spectroscopy. The fast and quantitative synthesis of a wide range of prefabricated monomeric cruciform and metalated-pincer-complex components will allow for the rapid generation, growth, and optimization of this new class of functional polymers, which have potential electronic and optical applications.     

Investigation of the structure, the optical properties, and the photophysics of some indolocarbazoles having terminal aromatic rings

Structures, optical properties, and photophysics of ladder indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles substituted symmetrically by phenylene and thiophene rings have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. The ground state optimized structures were obtained using the density functional theory (DFT) as approximated by the B3LYP functional and employing the 6-31G^* basis set. All derivatives were found nonplanar in their electronic ground states. The character and the energy of the singlet–singlet electronic transitions have been investigated by applying the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to the correspondingly optimized-ground-state geometries. The ab initio restricted configuration interaction (singles) method (RCIS/6-31G^*) was adopted to obtain the first singlet excited-state structures (S₁) of the molecule. TDDFT calculations performed on the S₁ optimized geometries was used to obtain emission energies. UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopies were analyzed in conjunction with theoretical calculations. The computed excitation and emission energies were found in reasonable agreement with the experimental absorption and fluorescence spectra. Finally, the photophysical behavior of the indolocarbazoles have been studied by means of steady state and time resolved fluorescence. The overall data have allowed the determination of the rate constants for the radiative and nonradiative decay processes. Both theoretical and experimental data show that the replacement of phenylene rings by thiophene units induces a red shift in the absorption and fluorescence spectra. This behavior is interpreted in terms of the electron donor properties of the thiophene ring. On the other hand, the change of the substitutional pattern, from 2,8 to 3,9, causes a significant hypsochromic shift of the absorption and fluorescence bands.     

Molecular design of novel indacenodithiophene-based organic dyes for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells applications

Indacenodithiophene (IDT)-based high-efficiency photovoltaics have received increasing attention recently. This paper reports a density functional theory investigation of the electronic and optical properties of three IDT-based organic dyes together with the dye/(TiO₂)₄₆ interface. In order to enhance the photoelectric properties of IDT dyes, this paper considers two methods for the structure modification of the experimentally reported dye DPInDT (J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 8977): the extension of the conjugation length by dithienothiophene as well as the heteroatom substitution of the bridging atoms by electron-rich nitrogen atoms. Our calculations show that both methods obviously affect the distributions of the molecular orbitals and notably red shift the absorption peaks of around 20 nm, with the former method demonstrating enhanced light harvesting efficiency. The structure modifications proposed also enhance the emission spectrum properties for IDT-based organic dyes. The calculated ultrafast injection time of electrons from the excited state of IDT dyes to the (TiO₂)₄₆ belongs to the femtosecond order of magnitude, and is ideal for efficient photoelectric conversion process in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) applications. The IDT dyes designed in this paper have good electronic and spectroscopic properties. This study is expected to provide useful guidance for the development of novel IDT dyes for applications in DSSCs.     

Carbazole endcapped heterofluorenes as host materials: theoretical study of their structural, electronic, and optical properties

By mimicking the molecular structure of 4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)-2,2'-biphenyl (CBP), which is a widely used host material, a new series of host molecules (carbazole-endcapped heterofluorenes, CzHFs) were designed by linking the hole-transporting carbazole to the core heterofluorene molecules in either meta or para positions of the heterofluorene. The aromatic cores considered in this study are biphenyl, fluorene, silafluorenes, germafluorenes, carbazole, phosphafluorene, oxygafluorene, and sulfurafluorene. To reveal their molecular structures, optoelectronic properties and structure-property relationships of the proposed host materials, an in-depth theoretical investigation was elaborated via quantum chemical calculations. The electronic structures in the ground states, cationic and anionic states, and lowest triplet states of these designed molecules have been studied with emphasis on the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs), energy gaps (E(g)), triplet energy gaps ((3)E(g)), as well as some other electronic properties including ionization potentials (IPs), electron affinities (EAs), reorganization energies (λ), triplet exciton generation fraction (χ(T)), spin density distributions (SD), and absorption spectra. These photoelectronic properties can be tuned by chemical modifications of the heteroatom and the carbazole substitution at different positions. This study provides theoretical insights into the nature of host molecules, and shows that the designed CzHFs can meet the requirements of the host materials for triplet emitters.     

Observation of 1MLCT and 3MLCT excited states in quadruply bonded Mo2 and W2 complexes

The photophysical properties of the series of quadruply bonded M(2)(O(2)C-Ar)(4) [M = Mo, Ar = phenyl (ph), 1-naphthalene (1-nap), 2-naphthalene (2-nap), 9-anthracene (9-an), 1-pyrene (1-py), and 2-pyrene (2-py); M = W, Ar = ph, 2-nap] complexes were investigated. The lowest energy absorption of the complexes is attributed to a metal-to-ligand charge transfer (1)MLCT transition from the metal-based delta HOMO to the pi* O(2)C-Ar LUMO. The Mo(2)(O(2)C-Ar)(4) complexes exhibit weak short-lived emission (<10 ns) and a nonemissive, long-lived (40-76 mus) excited state detected by transient absorption spectroscopy. The short- and long-lived species are attributed to the (1)MLCT and (3)MLCT excited states, respectively, based on the large Stokes shift, vibronic progression in the low-temperature emission spectrum, and solvent dependence. Comparisons are made to the W(2)(O(2)C-Ar)(4) complexes, which are easier to oxidize and exhibit greater spin-orbit coupling than the Mo(2) systems. From the excited-state energy of the emissive (1)MLCT state and the electrochemical properties of the complexes, it is predicted that this excited state should be a powerful reducing agent. The crystal and molecular structure of Mo(2)(O(2)C-9-an)(4) is also reported together with electronic structure calculations employing density functional theory. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of MLCT excited states in quadruply bonded complexes. In addition, the photophysical properties of the present systems parallel those of organic aromatic molecules and may be viewed as metal-mediated organics. The introduction of the M(2) delta orbital in the complexes in conjugation with the organic pi-system of the ligands affords the opportunity to tune the excited-state energies and redox potentials.     

Theoretically Rational Designs of Transport Organic Semiconductors Based on Heteroacenes

A Marcus electron transfer theory coupled with an incoherent polaron hopping and charge diffusion model in combining with first‐principle quantum chemistry calculation was applied to investigating the effects of heteroatom on the intermolecular charge transfer rate for a series of heteroacene molecules. The influences of intermolecular packing and charge reorganization energy were discussed. It was found that the sulphur and nitrogen substituted heteroacenes were intrinsically hole‐transporting materials due to the reduced hole reorganization energy and the enhanced overlap between HOMOs. For the oxygen‐substituted heteroacene, it was found that both the electronic couplings and the reorganization energies for holes and electrons were comparative, indicating the application potential of ambipolar devices. Most interestingly, for the boron‐substituted heteroacenes, theoretical calculations predicted a promising electron‐transport material, which is rare for organic materials. These findings provide insights into rationally designing organic semiconductors with specific properties.     

Highly fluorescent N,N-dimethylaminophenylethynylarenes: synthesis, photophysical properties, and electrochemiluminescence

A new family of aryl-pi-donor-aryl molecules has been synthesized and studied with respect to their photophysical properties and electrogenerated chemiluminscence (ECL) for the first time. Anthracene, phenanthrene, naphthalene, biphenyl, and fluorene were coupled with N,N-dimethylanilino moiety via a C-C triple bond (1-7). Introduction of such a strong electron-donating moiety as N,N-dimethylanilino group through a triple bond imparts new properties to the resultant molecules that are not commonly observed for the parent arenes. All molecules show absorption in the near-visible region and emission totally in the visible region with high fluorescence quantum yields. Bright solid-state photoluminescence has also been noticed for all the compounds in the visible region. 9-Anthryl- and 1-naphthyl- derivatives exhibited blue-shifted electrochemiluminescence (ECL) relative to their photoluminescence because of aggregation. 9-Phenanthryl- and 2-naphthyl- derivatives did not show ECL. 2-Biphenyl derivative showed monomeric ECL while 4-biphenyl counterpart exhibited excimer ECL. No ECL was observed for 2-fluorenyl derivative. The observed electronic properties are discussed with regard to the structure of the molecules. The characteristics of the molecules chosen in the present study open up new prospects and promises for novel tunable organic materials, on the basis of simple extension of conjugation to promote intramolecular communication, for ECL, OLED, and other optoelectronic applications.     

Synthesis and photophysics of benzotexaphyrin: a near-infrared emitter and photosensitizer

Texaphyrins are pentaazadentate macrocycles with interesting photophysical properties and potential applications as nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, photosensitizers, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrasting reagents, and radiation sensitizers, etc. To further red-shift the Q-like band of the texaphyrins, a benzotexaphyrin with an extensively delocalized pi-electron system was synthesized for the first time. Its photophysical characteristics were systematically investigated. Due to the extended pi-conjugation, the Q(0,0) band of benzotexaphyrin bathochromically shifts to 810 nm, and it emits at 825 nm with a singlet excited-state lifetime of 895 ps. Its triplet excited-state energy is estimated to be 119 kJ/mol. The triplet excited-state lifetime is approximately 2.2 micros, and the quantum yield of the triplet excited-state formation is 0.78. It also exhibits a triplet-triplet transient absorption in the region 505-590 nm. In addition, benzotexaphyrin exhibits high efficiency in generating singlet oxygen in methanol (Phi(Delta) = 0.65). Therefore, benzotexaphyrin could potentially be a NIR photosensitizer and emitter for photodynamic therapy and bioimaging applications.     

Theoretical investigations on electronic structures and photophysical properties of N-heteroaryl carbazole derivatives as host materials

The carbazole-endcapped host molecules with tailoring different heteroaryl core and meta-position linkage mode have great potential on phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. To provide a profound view on structure?Cproperty relationships, new linear-shaped counterparts have been designed based on the existing molecular composition and the linkage at para-position (p-type molecules). A series of studies about the influence of the linkage mode on optical and electronic properties of these carbazole derivatives have carried out via density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory calculations. The geometric and the electronic structure of these molecules in the ground states, ions states, and lowest triplet states have been calculated especially focusing on the analysis of highest occupied molecular orbitals, lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, energy gaps, triplet energies, ionization potentials, electron affinities, reorganization energies, triplet exciton-formation fraction, and absorption spectra. These optoelectronic properties can be effectively tuned by the chemical modifications of different linkage pattern. The good coordination between our calculated results and the available experimental data has been observed. The study reveals that the designed p-type molecules show great promise as new high-performance red host materials with large triplet energy, narrow energy gap, good electron and hole-transport properties, and high triplet exciton-formation fraction.     

Femtosecond Spectroscopy and Nonlinear Optical Properties of aza-BODIPY Derivatives in Solution

The fast relaxation processes in the excited electronic states of functionalized aza-boron-dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) derivatives ( 1 – 4 ) were investigated in liquid media at room temperature, including the linear photophysical, photochemical, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. Optical gain was revealed for nonfluorescent derivatives 3 and 4 in the near infrared (NIR) spectral range under femtosecond excitation. The values of two-photon absorption (2PA) and excited-state absorption (ESA) cross-sections were obtained for 1–4 in dichloromethane using femtosecond Z-scans, and the role of bromine substituents in the molecular structures of 2 and 4 is discussed. The nature of the excited states involved in electronic transitions of these dyes was investigated using quantum-chemical TD-DFT calculations, and the obtained spectral parameters are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Significant 2PA (maxima cross-sections ∼2000 GM), and large ESA cross-sections ∼10⁻²⁰ m² of these new aza-BODIPY derivatives 1–4 along with their measured high photostability reveal their potential for photonic applications in general and optical limiting in particular.
