Time resolve study on isopropyl-ether porphyrindiol

In the past years extensive studies have been conducted on porphyrin-type photosensitizers because of their photosensitive activity. With regard to their interaction with many important macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids, porphyrin-type photosensitizers are capable of damaging numerous cells. They damage DNA via oxidation of four bases, especially guanine and cytosine pairs[1], damage protein by oxidation of (at least) two amino acids——cysteine and tryptophan residues…     

Chemiluminecsence in the oxidation of Na2C60 by the (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 complex in THF

Chemiluminescence (_max = 790 nm) in the oxidation of fulleride Na₂C₆₀ by the (NH₄)₂Ce(NO₃)₆ complex in THF was found. The ³C₆₀* triplet of fullerene formed in the transfer of an electron from the intermediate C₆₀ ^– anion to Ce^IV was suggested to be the chemiluminescence emitter.     

Supercuspidal Gelfand pairs

If G is a totally disconnected group and H is a closed subgroup then, according to the Gelfand-Kazhdan Lemma, if the double coset space H?G/H is preserved by an antiautomorphism of G of order two then (G,H) must be a Gelfand pair in the sense that Hom_H(π,1) has dimension at most one for each irreducible, admissible representation π of G. Under certain rather general restrictions, we show that if the symmetry property holds only for almost all double cosets, then (G,H) is a supercuspidal Gelfand pair in the sense that for all irreducible, supercuspidal representations π of G. There exist examples of supercuspidal Gelfand pairs which are not Gelfand pairs.     

Compact weakly symmetric spaces and spherical pairs

Let be a spherical pair and assume that is a connected compact simple Lie group and a closed subgroup of . We prove in this paper that the homogeneous manifold is weakly symmetric with respect to and possibly an additional fixed isometry . It follows that M. Krämer's classification list of such spherical pairs also becomes a classification list of compact weakly symmetric spaces. In fact, our proof involves a case-by-case study of the isotropy representations of all spherical pairs on Krämer's list.

     

Deep‐red light‐emitting phosphorescent dendrimer encapsulated tris‐[2‐benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl‐pyridyl] iridium (III) core for light‐emitting device applications

New deep‐red light‐emitting phosphorescent dendrimers with hole‐transporting carbazole dendrons were synthesized by reacting tris(2‐benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl‐pyridyl) iridium (III) complex with carbazolyl dendrons by DCC‐catalyzed esterification. The resulting first‐, second‐, and third‐generation dendrimers were found to be highly efficient as solution‐processable emitting materials and for use in host‐free electrophosphorescent light‐emitting diodes. We fabricated a host‐free dendrimer EL device with configuration ITO/PEDOT:PSS (40 nm)/dendrimer (55 nm)/BCP (10 nm)/Alq₃ (40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) and characterized the device performance. The multilayered devices showed luminance of 561 cd/m² at 383.4 mA/cm² (12 V) for 15 , 1302 cd/m² at 321.3 mA/cm² (14 V) for 16 , and 422 cd/m² at 94.4 mA/cm² (18 V) for 17 . The third‐generation dendrimer, 17 (η_ext = 6.12% at 7.5 V), showed the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) with an increase in the density of the light‐harvesting carbazole dendron. Three dendrimers exhibited considerably pure deep‐red emission with CIE 1931 (Commission International de L'Eclairage) chromaticity coordinates of x = 0.70, y = 0.30. The CIE coordinates remained very stable with the current density. The integration of rigid hole‐transporting dendrons and phosphorescent complexes provides a new route to design highly efficient solution‐processable materials for dendrimer light‐emitting diode (DLED) applications. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular design of efficient white‐light‐emitting fluorene‐based copolymers by mixing singlet and triplet emission

A new strategy to realize efficient white‐light emission from a binary fluorene‐based copolymer (PF‐Phq) with the fluorene segment as a blue emitter and the iridium complex, 9‐iridium(III)bis(2‐(2‐phenyl‐quinoline‐N,C³′)(11,13‐tetradecanedionate))‐3,6‐carbazole (Phq), as a red emitter has been proposed and demonstrated. The photo‐ and electroluminescence properties of the PF‐Phq copolymers were investigated. White‐light emission with two bands of blue and red was achieved from the binary copolymers. The efficiency increased with increasing concentration of iridium complex, which resulted from its efficient phosphorescence emission and the weak phosphorescent quenching due to its lower triplet energy level than that of polyfluorene. In comparison with the binary copolymer, the efficiency and color purity of the ternary copolymers (PF‐Phq‐BT) were improved by introducing fluorescent green benzothiadiazole (BT) unit into polyfluorene backbone. This was ascribed to the exciton confinement of the benzothiadiazole unit, which allowed efficient singlet energy transfer from fluorene segment to BT unit and avoided the triplet quenching resulted from the higher triplet energy levels of phosphorescent green emitters than that of polyfluorene. The phosphorescence quenching is a key factor in the design of white light‐emitting polyfluorene with triplet emitter. It is shown that using singlet green and triplet red emitters is an efficient approach to reduce and even avoid the phosphorescence quenching in the fluorene‐based copolymers. The strategy to incorporate singlet green emitter to polyfluorene backbone and to attach triplet red species to the side chain is promising for white polymer light‐emitting diodes. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of sample preparation on thermal decomposition of wasted polyolefins-oil mixtures

Significant influence of sample preparation on thermal decomposition of polyolefin-technological oil mixtures was proved during tests. Samples of polymer-oil mixtures were prepared with two methods: reducing size and components mixing and soaking in temperature 170°C. Soaking causes decreasing thermal stability of the charge. This fact manifests itself in decreasing of thermal decomposition temperature in laboratory scale, as well as in change of characteristic decomposition temperatures during thermogravimetric analyses. Data analysis was performed with the use of classic method based on Arrhenius kinetic equation and three-parameter model. The influence of sample composition and preparation method on values of three-parameter equation coefficients was observed.     

Bimolecular gas-phase processes with the participation of vibrationally excited triplet molecules of aromatic ketones

Time-resolved moderated luminescence of aromatic ketones (benzophenone, aceptophenone) in the presence of neutral and reactive hydrogeneous foreign gases (ethylene, pentane, triethylamine) is investigated. It is shown that the addition of hydrogeneous foreign gases leads to strong quenching of the triplet molecules of aromatic ketones. Effectivenesses of such bimolecular processes as the collision detachment of a hydrogen atom and establishment of vibrational and thermal equilibrium are compared. It is concluded that the vibrational degrees of freedom of the acceptors, the aromatic ketones, are inactive in the photochemical process of collision detachment of a hydrogen atom that takes place after the establishment of vibrational equilibrium.

Syntheses and Photophysical Properties of N‐Pyridylimidazol‐2‐ylidene Tetracyanoruthenates(II) and Photochromic Studies of Their Dithienylethene‐Containing Derivatives

A series of tetracyanoruthenate(II) with chelating pyridyl N‐heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHC‐py) was synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties as well as the photochromic behavior of their dithienylethene‐containing complexes were studied. Photocyclization was found to take place upon irradiation into the metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption bands of these complexes, and evidence is provided to support the triplet‐sensitizing reaction pathway.
