Langmuir monolayers and the transferred films of fluorinated amphiphiles containing vinyl groups

The monolayer behavior of long-chain esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids containing perfluoro or partially fluorinated carbon chains at the air/water interface was studied by surface pressure-area isotherm measurements and Brewster angle microscopy. It has been found that a minor change in the chemical structures of these fluorinated amphiphiles, such as a hydrogen substituted at the omega-position of the hydrophobic fluorocarbon tails instead of a fluorine as well as hydrophilic vinyl ester groups inserted between acrylates and methacrylates, induces a drastic change in the isotherms for the monolayers, suggesting different molecular orientation and packing in the films. The monolayers were transferred by horizontal lifting, Langmuir-Blodgett, and surface-lowering methods to give the X-, Y-, and Z-type films, respectively. These films were characterized by scanning probe microscopy, to clarify the mesoscopic surface structures of the molecular films exposed with the hydrophilic or hydrophobic moieties in air, depending upon the dipping methods. The Z-type films with the outermost surface of the fluorinated substituents were examined in relation to the frictional properties that strongly depend upon the fluorine and the hydrogen atoms at the end of the hydrophobic fluorocarbon chains, which is controllable at the atomic level.     

Fluorine containing phosphazene polymers

In this paper we highlighted the synthesis, characterization, and practical exploitation of different types of polyphosphazenes substituted with fluorinated groups. There are several ways in which fluorine atoms can be inserted into polyphosphazenes, all of which leading to different polymers showing a wide range of characteristics. In general it is true that the insertion of fluorine atoms into phosphazene macromolecules leads to an enhancement of the thermal stability, flame resistance, low-temperature elastomericity, and chemical inertness of the phosphazenes obtained. The contribution of Italian research groups to the preparation and exploitation of organic commercial macromolecules grafted onto fluorinated polyphosphazenes is also reviewed.

Study of the molecular configuration and the dipole moment in fluorinated liquid crystals

We have investigated the relationship between the molecular configuration and dipole moment of some fluorinated liquid crystals (LCs). The geometries of the molecules were preliminarily optimized at empirical AM1 and then were further optimized at B3LYP/6‐31G(d) level. The dipole moment has been calculated. It is strongly influenced by the position and number of fluorine substituents in the benzene ring of the molecule. The polarizability, mean polarizabilities, and anisotropic polarizability of the phenylbicyclohexane (PBC) fluorine substituents are also given and discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recent Advances in the One‐Step Synthesis of Distally Fluorinated Ketones

Fluorinated ketones are intriguing compounds in synthetic chemistry and life science‐related fields. The development of efficient methodologies to obtain these compounds is of significant importance and has therefore attracted considerable attention. This Minireview highlights recent progress made in the synthesis of fluorine‐containing ketones, with an emphasis on those methods in which the construction of carbonyl groups is synergetic with distal (β‐, γ‐, δ‐, etc.) incorporation of fluorine atoms or fluorinated groups.     

Development of Donor-π-Acceptor-Type Fluorinated Tolanes as Compact Condensed Phase Luminophores and Applications in Photoluminescent Liquid-Crystalline Molecules

Fluorinated tolanes, produced by introducing fluorine atoms into one of the aromatic rings of tolane, emitted almost no fluorescence in a solution state, but the fluorescence intensity increased dramatically in the crystalline state because of intermolecular H⋅⋅⋅F hydrogen bonds. The photoluminescent (PL) colors depend on the molecular orbitals, dipole moments, and molecular aggregated structures can be varied by controlling terminal substituents along the major molecular axis. The introduction of a long alkoxy or semifluoroalkoxy unit as a flexible chain into the terminal positions along the major molecular axis induced the formation of a liquid-crystalline (LC) phase; fluorinated tolanes act both as luminophores and as mesogens, leading to the molecular design of new photoluminescent LC molecules (PLLCs). The results also indicated that a fluorinated tolane dimer, which consists of two fluorinated tolanes linked by a flexible alkylene spacer, also becomes a novel PLLC.     

The essential role of H-F substitution in the electron-phonon interactions and electron transfer in the negatively charged acenes

The single charge transfer through acenes, partially H-F substituted acenes, and fluoroacenes is discussed. The reorganization energies between the neutral molecules and the corresponding monoanions for partially H-F substituted acenes lie between those for acenes and fluoroacenes. The delocalization of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) by substituting hydrogen atoms by fluorine atoms with the highest electronegativity in every element is the main reason why the reorganization energy between the neutral molecule and the monoanion for partially H-F substituted acenes lies between those for acenes and fluoroacenes. This result implies that the negatively charged partially H-F substituted acenes would be better conductors with rapid electron transfer than the negatively charged fluoroacenes if we assume that the overlap of the LUMO between partially H-F substituted acenes is not significantly different from that between two neighboring fluoroacenes. The structures of the monoanions of acenes, fluoroacenes, and partially H-F substituted acenes are optimized under D2h geometry, and the Jahn-Teller effects in the monoanions of benzene and fluorobenzene are discussed. The vibration effect onto the charge transfer problem is also discussed. The C-C stretching modes around 1500 cm(-1) are the main modes converting the neutral molecules to the monoanions in acenes, fluoroacenes, and partially H-F substituted acenes. It can be confirmed from the calculational results that the C-C stretching modes around 1500 cm(-1) the most strongly couple to the LUMO in these molecules. The main reason why the total electron-phonon coupling constants (lLUMO) for the monoanions of acenes in which four outer hydrogen atoms are substituted by fluorine atoms are larger than those for the monoanions of acenes in which several inner hydrogen atoms are substituted by fluorine atoms is suggested. The relationships between the electron transfer and the electron-phonon interactions are discussed. The plot of the reorganization energies against the lLUMO values is found to be nearly linear. In view of these results, the relationships between the normal and superconducting states are briefly discussed.     

Systematic Studies on the Effect of Fluorine Atoms in Fluorinated Tolanes on Their Photophysical Properties

In this study, we synthesized a series of fluorinated and non-fluorinated tolanes, in which one or more fluorine atoms were systematically introduced into one aromatic ring of a tolane scaffold, and systematically evaluated their photophysical properties. All the tolanes with or without fluorine substituents were found to have poor photoluminescence (PL) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solutions. On the other hand, in the crystalline state, non-fluorinated and fluorinated tolanes with one or four fluorine atoms were less emissive, whereas fluorinated tolanes with three or five fluorine atoms exhibited high PL efficiencies (Ф_PL) up to 0.51. X-ray crystallographic analyses of the emissive fluorinated tolanes revealed that the position of the fluorine substituent played a key role in achieving a high Ф_PL. Fluorine substituents at the ortho (2/6) and para (4) positions led to tight and rigid packing due to plural π–π stacking and/or hydrogen bonding interactions, resulting in enhanced Ф_PL caused by the suppression of non-radiative deactivation. Additionally, fluorinated tolanes with three fluorine atoms exhibited notable aggregation-induced PL emission enhancement in THF/water mixed solvents. This demonstrates that the PL characteristics of small PL materials can be tuned depending on the usage requirements.     

Characteristics of monolayer behavior and multilayer film structures of comb polymers having different kinds of fluorocarbon side-chains

With comb polymers with different kinds of fluorocarbon side-chains, significant effects of spreading solvents on the monolayers at the air/water interface and the molecular arrangement in the deposited films could be found by the use of trifluoroacetic acid and its mixed solvents with n-hexane, depending on the atoms, fluorine or hydrogen, substituted at the end of the fluorocarbon side-chains. These facts are probably due to intralayer hydrogen bonding cooperating with the carbonyl groups of the long-chain esters. The deposited films of solid substrates were characterized by polarized near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy as well as in-plane X-ray diffraction and scanning electron and atomic force microscopy.
