Different approaches to brominate dialkyl isothianaphthene-5,6-dicarboxylate were tried and single crystals of target molecule and side product were obtained. A planar copolymer with the trans-ethene has been prepared, which shows good solubility in common organic solvents and broad absorption with edge to 967 nm in film.     

Enhancement of Visible-Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution Activity of 2D π-Conjugated Bipyridine-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks via Post-Protonation

Photocatalytic hydrogen (H₂) evolution represents a promising and sustainable technology. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-based photocatalysts have received growing attention. A 2D fully conjugated ethylene-linked COF (BTT-BPy-COF) was fabricated with a dedicated designed active site. The introduced bipyridine sites enable a facile post-protonation strategy to fine-tune the actives sites, which results in a largely improved charge-separation efficiency and increased hydrophilicity in the pore channels synergically. After modulating the degree of protonation, the optimal BTT-BPy-PCOF exhibits a remarkable H₂ evolution rate of 15.8 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ under visible light, which surpasses the biphenyl-based COF 6 times. By using different types of acids, the post-protonation is proved to be a potential universal strategy for promoting photocatalytic H₂ evolution. This strategy would provide important guidance for the design of highly efficient organic semiconductor photocatalysts.     

Complete Peripheral Fluorination of the Small-Molecule Acceptor in Organic Solar Cells Yields Efficiency over 19 %

Due to the intrinsically flexible molecular skeletons and loose aggregations, organic semiconductors, like small molecular acceptors (SMAs) in organic solar cells (OSCs), greatly suffer from larger structural/packing disorders and weaker intermolecular interactions comparing to their inorganic counterparts, further leading to hindered exciton diffusion/dissociation and charge carrier migration in resulting OSCs. To overcome this challenge, complete peripheral fluorination was performed on basis of a two-dimensional (2D) conjugation extended molecular platform of CH-series SMAs, rendering an acceptor of CH8F with eight fluorine atoms surrounding the molecular backbone. Benefitting from the broad 2D backbone, more importantly, strengthened fluorine-induced secondary interactions, CH8F and its D18 blends afford much enhanced and more ordered molecular packings accompanying with enlarged dielectric constants, reduced exciton binding energies and more obvious fibrillary networks comparing to CH6F controls. Consequently, D18:CH8F-based OSCs reached an excellent efficiency of 18.80 %, much better than that of 17.91 % for CH6F-based ones. More excitingly, by employing D18-Cl that possesses a highly similar structure to D18 as a third component, the highest efficiency of 19.28 % for CH-series SMAs-based OSCs has been achieved so far. Our work demonstrates the dramatical structural multiformity of CH-series SMAs, meanwhile, their high potential for constructing record-breaking OSCs through peripheral fine-tuning.     

高核稀土-氧簇Ln19的组装、结构与磁性研究

因其奇特的物理和化学性质,高核稀土-氧簇已经成为配位化学中极其活跃的领域之一并受到广泛关注。然而,由于稀土离子具有较高的配位数和多变的配位几何构型,高核稀土-氧簇的合成及组装仍极具挑战性。采用螯合配体1,2-环己二胺四乙酸(2,2′,2″,2′″-(Cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis(azanetriyl))tetraacetic acid, H4CDTA)控制稀土离子水解,得到了两个零维盘状结构的高核稀土-氧簇Ln₁₉(Ln=Dy为化合物1, Ln=Tb为化合物2)。在相同条件下,采用乙二胺四乙酸二钠盐(Disodium edetate dihydrate, Na2H2EDTA)控制稀土离子水解,得到两个以Ln₁₉为构筑基元的一维链状化合物3(Ln=Dy)和4(Ln=Tb),以及两个以Ln₁₉为构筑基元的三维框架化合物5(Ln=Dy)和6(Ln=Tb)。结果表明,通过改变螯合配体的空间位阻可以实现以高核稀土-氧簇为节点的多维配位聚合物的可控组装。磁性研究表明,化合物1~6均表现出弱的反铁磁相互作用。
