Donor-Acceptor Oligomers and Polymers Composed of Benzothiadiazole and 3-Hexylthiophene： Effect of Chain Length and Regioregularity

A series of donor-acceptor oligomer OBTThn （n = 1- 7） and polymer PBTThl and PBTTh2 composed of al- ternative 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and 3-hexylthiophene have been designed and synthesized for the purpose of in- vestigation on the effect of chain length and side-chain regioregularity on their basic properties and photovoltaic performance. In the OBTThn oligomers and PBTThl polymer, all the hexyl side chains on thienyl units orient to- ward the same direction. Upon elongation of the chain length, the intramolecular charge transfer （ICT） absorption band in solution gradually redshifts from 398 nm for OBTThl to 505 nm for OBTThT, then to 512 nm for PBTThl polymer. Meanwhile, the HOMO energy level increases from -5.45 eV （OBTTh0 to -5.08 eV （OBTThT） and -5.09 eV （PBTThl）, and the LUMO energy level decreases from -3.11 eV （OBTTh0 to -3.30 eV （OBTThT） and -3.33 eV （PBTThl）, thus giving a smaller and smaller energy bandgap for higher oligomers and polymers. Theo- retical calculation suggests straight line-like backbone geometry for this series of oligomers and polymer. On the other hand, polymer PBTTh2 possesses a different side-chain regioregularity, in which every two neighbor hexyl side chains are arranged in different orienting direction. It is theoretically suggested to have curved line-like back- bone geometry. In solution, it shows similar photophysical and electrochemical properties as PBTThl. However in film state, it displays a less redshift in the ICT band as refer to that in solution than PBTThl. In combination with [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester （PC61BM）, these oligomers and polymers were used as donor material to fabricate organic bulk heterojunction solar cells. Again, chain length-dependent device photovoltaic performance was observed. The device based on OBTTh4 showed a power conversion efficiency of 0.16%, while it increased to 0.36% and 0.49% for the devices based on OBTTh6 and PBTThb respectively. However, the side-chain regio- regularity has less influence on the device photovoltaic output since the device based on PBTTh~ displayed an effi- ciency of 0.52%, comparable to that of PBTThl.     

α,ω-二(4-羟基丁基)二甲基硅氧烷低聚物的制备与研究

以二(4-羟基丁基)四甲基二硅氧烷(HT)为封端化合物,在催化剂四甲基氢氧化铵的催化下,八甲基环四硅氧烷(D4）开环聚合,制得α,ω-二(4-羟基丁基)二甲基硅氧烷低聚物(DMSO)。应用红外光谱、凝胶色谱和旋转粘度计等测试手段,研究了聚合温度、原料(HT和D4)配比以及催化剂除去方式等工艺条件对聚合反应和聚合产物分子量的影响。研究结果表明,聚合反应温度对聚合产物分子量没有明显的影响;HT为封端化合物,在聚合过程中起止链剂的作用,其在原料中所占比例越大,DMSO分子量越小,原料中D4含量越大,DMSO分子量越大;聚合反应完成后,应采用洗涤法去除催化剂,否则由于端羟基发生去水反应而失去端羟基,致使产率下降,甚至得不到预期的产物。研究表明DMSO通过端羟基形成氢键而聚集,使其黏度升高。DMSO分子量越小,氢键缔合作用越大。

π-Conjugated Unit-Dependent Optical Properties of Linear Conjugated Oligomers

The optical properties of three linear conjugated oligomers （F-P, F-P-F, and P-F-P-F-P）, where phenothiazine （P） and fluorene （F） groups arrange alternately, are investigated. With the enhancement of the π-conjugated system, their absorption and emission bands both gradually red shift, and their two-photon properties are also improved. Meanwhile, their fluorescence dynamic traces are analyzed with continuous rate distribution model, exhibiting that their decay rates gradually accelerate and the rate distribution width become narrower. The quantum chemical calculation offers their molecular structures and transition mechanism, showing that the enhancement of π-conjugated system should be responsible for tile improvement of two-photon properties.

Spin-excited states and rectification in an organic spin rectifier

Spin-excited states in an asymmetric magnetic organic co-oligomer diode are investigated theoretically. The results demonstrate that the structural asymmetry of the co-oligomer is modulated by the spin-excited states, which is embodied in the wave functions of the eigenstates as well as the spin density wave. By calculating the transport property, a robust spin-current rectification concomitant with a charge-current rectification is observed in all spin-excited states. However, the current through the diode is suppressed distinctly by the spin-excited states, while the rectification ratios may be reduced or enhanced depending on the bias and the excited spins. The intrinsic mechanism is analyzed from the spin-dependent trans- mission combined with the change of molecular eigenstates under bias. Finally, the temperature-induced spin excitation is simulated. Significant rectification behavior is obtained even at room temperature.

Thermal-induced Unfolding of β-Crystallin and Disassembly of its Oligomers Revealed by Temperature-Jump Time-Resolved Infrared Spectroscopy

β-Crystallins are the major structural proteins existing in the vertebrate lens, and their conformational stability is critical in maintaining the life-long transparency and refraction index of the lens. Seven subunits of β-crystallins naturally assemble into various heteroge- neous oligomers with different sizes. Here, we systematically investigated the thermal sta- bility of the different secondary structures present in β-Crystallins and then the dynamic process for the thermal-induced unfolding of β-crystallins by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-monitored thermal titration and temperature-jump nanosecond time-resolved IR difference absorbance spectra. Our results show that the N-terminal anti-parallel β-sheets in β-crystallin are the most unstable with a transition midpoint temperature at 36.0-2.1℃, leading to the formation of an intermediate consisting vastly of random coil structures. This intermediate structure is temporally assigned to that of the monomer generated by the thermal-induced disassembly of β-crystallin oligomers with a transition midpoint tempera- ture of 40.4-0.7℃. The global unfolding of β-crystallins that leads to denaturation and aggregation indicated by the formation of intermolecular anti-parallel β-sheets has a transi- tion midpoint temperature determined as 72.4-0.2 ℃. Temperature-jump time-resolved IR absorbance difference spectroscopy analysis further reveals that thermal-induced unfolding of β-crystallins occurs firstly in the anti-parallel β-sheets in the N-terminal domains with a time constant of 50 ns.
