晶体离子质量差异对激活离子声子参助能量传递几率的影响

在已有理论模型的基础上讨论了基质晶体离子质量差异对激活离子声子参助能量传递几率的影响。结果表明基质离子的质量差异除了导致声子频率的变化从而影响其声子参助能量传递几率,还直接改变其传递几率的显式。对单声子参助能量传递过程,其传递几率必须乘以质量差异因子D²,对双声子参助能量传递过程其传递几率则乘以因子D⁴。文中给出了两种不同质量离子组成的晶体的因子D的表示式和p种不同质量的离子组成的晶体的因子D的一般表达式。     

Selective Introduction of Carbazole and Diphenylamine into Spirofluorenexanthene Core for Different Phosphorescent Hosts

Built on the spiro[fluorene‐9,9′‐xanthene] (SFX) core and two frequently‐used hole‐transporting groups such as carbazole and diphenylamine, two SFX derivatives, namely SFXCz and SFXDPA, have been synthesized by one‐step reaction for red, green and blue phosphorescent organic light‐emitting devices (PHOLEDs). Though the properties of these two groups are very similar, the devices based on SFXCz and SFXDPA exhibit distinct performances. In blue PHOLEDs, the device based on SFXCz exhibited much better performances than that based on SFXDPA. However, the latter was superior to the former in green and red PHOLEDs. And the red PHOLED based on SFXDPA exhibited maximum current efficiency (CE) of 27.1 cd·A^?1, power efficiency (PE) of 25.0 lm·W^?1, and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 15.0%. The results show that the introduction of diphenylamine group is suitable for constructing green and red host materials, whereas the introduction of carbazole group is suitable for constructing blue host materials.     

Photodynamic Activity of Fullerenes and Other Molecules Incorporated into Lipid Membranes by Exchange

An effective exchange method is described whereby liposomal drug carriers of hydrophobic guest biomolecules are used to incorporate the guests into lipid membranes. The exchange method transfers the guest molecule from a cyclodextrin cavity to a liposome in water. Lipid‐membrane‐incorporated fullerenes (LMIC_x: x = 60 or 70) prepared by the exchange method have much higher liposomal stability and fullerene water solubility than those prepared by conventional methods. The LMIC₆₀ have high photodynamic activities with respect to human cancer cells under 350–500 nm excitation. Furthermore, the LMIC₆₀ bilayers, containing light‐harvesting antenna molecules in addition to the C₆₀, showed improved activities at the optimal wavelength for photodynamic therapy.

     

Manipulating the twist sense of helical nanofilaments of bent-core liquid crystals using rod-shaped,chiral mesogenic dopants

In some liquid crystal (LC) mixtures of bent-core host molecules that form helical nanofilaments (HNFs) and chiral, rod-shaped molecular guests, the spontaneous chirality of the HNFs is not influenced by the guest handedness. In other mixtures, the filaments become homochiral, responding to the handedness of the guest. We show that the important distinction between these two behaviours is the solubility of the guest material in the HNF phase. In our experiments, chiral LC mesogens doped into the HNF phase result in an enantiomeric imbalance and sometimes change the phase sequence on cooling from the isotropic melt.     

NMR characterization of the host-guest inclusion complex between beta-cyclodextrin and doxepin

The interaction between doxepin, a member of the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) class of drugs, with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) was investigated using NMR. Several TCAs have been reported to form a complex with beta-CD having 1:1 stoichiometry. Previous results from UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence measurements, and molecular modeling indicated that for imipramine, desipramine, and amitriptyline, the TCA aliphatic tail is included in the cyclodextrin cavity with apparently no interaction of the tricyclic ring. An alternative view of the doxepin-beta-CD complex is presented in this work using analysis of complexation-induced chemical shifts (CICSs), the method of continuous variation (Job's analysis), and analysis of ROESY spectra. The Job's plot derived from the NMR spectral data confirms that the complex formed has 1:1 stoichiometry. The largest changes in the CICS data were observed for the aromatic protons of one of the doxepin rings, with much smaller chemical shift changes observed for the protons of the other aromatic ring and the doxepin tail. Perhaps the most significant evidence for inclusion of the doxepin tricyclic ring is the strong ROESY cross peaks between the doxepin aromatic resonances and the protons located inside the beta-CD cavity. Changes in the doxepin (1)H NMR spectrum and the behavior of ROESY exchange cross peaks suggest that inclusion complex formation decreases the rate of internal motions of doxepin.     

Molecule-responsive block copolymer micelles

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization was used to generate an ABC triblock copolymer, containing complementary diamidopyridine (DAP) and thymine (THY) outer blocks, which assembles into spherical aggregates held together by DAP-THY noncovalent interactions. Addition of THY-containing small guest molecules results in complete opening and deaggregation of the block copolymer micelle. This molecular recognition and macroscopic response shows high selectivity to the guest structure, and tolerates only a small amount of conformational mobility in the THY guest. On the other hand, addition of a small DAP-containing guest does not break the aggregates, but instead, results in new micelles which show a different selectivity profile from the parent morphology. We have examined the effect of a number of structural features in the block copolymers, on both the extent and selectivity of their macroscopic response to guests (that is, opening of the micelle). This study has resulted in a set of structural guidelines, which help in the design of effective molecule-responsive micelles for applications in selective drug delivery, sensing, and surface patterning.
