Electrosyntheses of poly(2,3-benzofuran) films in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate containing poly(ethylene glycol) oligomers

Visible-light transparent high-quality substrate-supported poly(2,3-benzofuran) (PBF) film has been successfully electrosynthesized by direct anodic oxidation of 2,3-benzofuran on stainless steel sheet in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE) containing 10% poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with molar mass of 400 (by volume). The oxidation potential of 2,3-benzofuran in this medium was measured to be only 1.0 V vs. SCE, which is lower than that determined in acetonitrile + 0.1 M Bu₄NBF₄ (1.2 V vs. SCE). The PBF films obtained in this media showed good electrochemical behaviors and good thermal stability with conductivity of 10⁻² S cm⁻¹, and the doping level of as-prepared PBF films was determined to be only 8.9%. The structure and morphology of the polymer were investigated by UV-vis, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case for the syntheses of PBF films.     

Low potential electrochemical polymerization of diphenyl ether and characterization of its polymers

High‐quality poly(diphenyl ether) (PDPE) films with electrical conductivity of 4.4 × 10^?1 S cm^?1 were synthesized electrochemically by direct anodic oxidation of diphenyl ether (DPE) in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE) containing 5% concentrated sulfuric acid (SA) (by volume). The oxidation potential onset of DPE in pure BFEE was measured to be only 1.37 V versus a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), which was much lower than that determined in acetonitrile + 0.1 mol L^?1 tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (1.98 V vs. SCE). The addition of SA to BFEE can further decrease the oxidation potential onset of the monomer to 1.18 V versus SCE in the mixed electrolyte of BFEE + 5% SA. PDPE films obtained from this medium showed good redox activity and stability even in concentrated SA. Dedoped PDPE films were partly soluble in the strong polar organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide. Fluorescent spectral studies indicated that soluble PDPE was a good blue‐light emitter with a quantum yield of 0.30. Infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemistry calculations indicated that the electropolymerization of DPE occurred mainly at C₄ and C_4′. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

PROPERTIES OF SILK FIBROIN/POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL)400 BLEND FILMS

The blend film of silk fibroin (SF) and poly(ethylene glycol)400 (PEG400) with a blend ratio of 2/1 (wt/wt) wasprepared simply by dropping a little PEG400 into the SF solution and then casting the mixed aqueous solution at 50℃. Theresulting film exhibited much better mechanical properties in the dry and wet state than SF itself, owing to theconformational change of SF in the blends from the random coil to the β-sheet structure and intermolecular hydrogen bondformation between SF and PEG400. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the initial thermal decomposition temperatureof the blend film was 170℃, which was 80℃ lower than that of SF (250℃) and 20℃ higher than that of PEG400 (150℃),and indicated a Strong interaction between two components of the blend. No crystalline peaks were observed in the X-raydiffraction curve of the blend film. Cell culture test showed that SF/PEG400 was a suitable substrate for the growth of humanumbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).     

Cobalt-phosphate complexes catalyze the photoelectrochemical water oxidation of BiVO4 electrodes

BiVO(4) semiconductor electrodes were coupled with cobalt-phosphate complexes (CoPi) to enhance the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance for water oxidation reaction. CoPi was deposited on a 550 nm-thick BiVO(4) film via electrodeposition (ED) and photodeposition (PD) methods for comparison of their effects. The CoPi on BiVO(4) exhibited Co?:?P atomic ratios of approximately 1?:?7 for the electrodeposited sample and approximately 1?:?18 for the photodeposited sample, and Co(2+) and Co(3+) co-existed in both samples. Optimized CoPi ED resulted in a CoPi overlayer of approximately 850 nm thick, which showed an electrochromic-like behavior that was likely due to limited access of phosphate into BiVO(4) across the CoPi layer. Optimized CoPi PD, however, had very thin and rather uniform CoPi dispersion and did not show electrochromic-like behavior. Despite the lesser amount of CoPi, the PEC performance of BiVO(4)/CoPi (PD) was comparable to that of BiVO(4)/CoPi (ED). Real-time measurements of the headspace molecular oxygen that evolved from water oxidation indicated that CoPi enhances O(2) production and photocurrent generation at BiVO(4) by a factor of around 15 and a maximum of 20, respectively, at 0.576 V(SCE) (equivalent to 1.23 V(RHE)) under air mass 1.5 irradiation (400 mW cm(-2)). Prolonged irradiation of BiVO(4)/CoPi (ED) resulted in a reduced Co?:?P ratio to 1?:?1.77 without changing the mixed valency of Co(II/III). This finding indicates that incorporation of phosphate into the CoPi was kinetically slower than water oxidation. The primary role of CoPi has been suggested as a hole-conducting electrocatalyst making the photogenerated electrons more mobile and, consequently, increasing conductivity and boosting the PEC water oxidation performance of BiVO(4).     

Electrochemical polymerization of fluoranthene and characterization of its polymers

A novel inherently conducting polymer, high-quality polyfluoranthene (PFA) film with electrical conductivity of 10(-2) S cm(-1), was first synthesized electrochemically by direct anodic oxidation of fluoranthene in a middle strong Lewis acid-boron trifluoride diethyl etherate. The oxidation potential onset of fluoranthene in this medium was measured to be only 1.07 V vs SCE, which was much lower than that in acetonitrile + 0.1 mol L(-1) tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (1.68 V vs SCE). This PFA film showed good redox activity and stability even in concentrated sulfuric acid. Moreover, the fluorescence properties of PFA were greatly improved in comparison with those of the monomer. Dedoped PFA films were partly soluble in polar solvents such as CH(2)Cl(2), acetone, tetrahedrofuran, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The structure and morphology of the polymer were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The results of quantum chemistry calculations of fluoranthene monomer and (1)H NMR spectroscopy of dedoped PFA films indicated that the polymerization mainly occurred at C((3)), C((4)), C((13)), and C((14)) positions.     

Electrochemical oxidation of sigma-complex-type intermediates in aromatic nucleophilic substitutions

A series of sigma-adducts (1H-...7H-) derived from the addition of 2-nitropropenide ion to various nitrobenzofuroxans and nitrobenzofurazans have been oxidized electrochemically. The results show that the rearomatization of the carbocyclic ring of these adducts as well as that of a few additional 4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan adducts (8 H- a-c) is associated with much higher oxidation potentials than found for the same process in the dinitro- and trinitrobenzene series. Especially high Eo values are measured for the oxidation of the 2-nitropropenide 4,6-dinitro- and 4-nitro-6-trifluoromethylsulfonylbenzofuroxan adducts 1H- and 4H- in acetonitrile: E (1H-)= 1.15 V versus SCE; Eo(4H-)=1.33V versus SCE. These values fit well with the available evidence that the chemical oxidation of these adducts requires the use of very strong oxidizing agents to proceed efficiently. The mechanism for the oxidation process has been established. It is shown to involve transfer of two electrons and liberation of one proton per sigma-complex precursor with no evidence whatsoever for the intermediacy of radical anionic species.
