Mono-Heteroatom Substitution for Harnessing Excited-State Structural Planarization of Dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazines

With the aim of generalizing the structure–properties relationship of bending heterocyclic molecules that undergo prominent photoinduced structural planarization (PISP), a series of new dihydrodibenzo[ac]phenazine derivatives in which one nitrogen atom is replaced by oxygen ( PNO ), sulfur ( PNS ), selenium ( PNSe ), or dimethylmethanediyl ( PNC ) was strategically designed and synthesized. Compounds PNO , PNS , and PNSe have significantly nonplanar geometries in the ground state, which undergo PISP to give a planarlike conformer and hence a large emission Stokes shift. A combination of femtosecond early relaxation dynamics and computational approaches established an R*→I* (intermediate)→P* sequential kinetic pattern for PNS and PNSe , whereas PNO undergoes R*→P* one-step kinetics. The polarization ability of the substituted heteroatoms, which is in the order O<S<Se, correlates with their increase in π conjugation, and hence the Stokes shift of the emission is in the order PNO < PNS < PNSe . Compound PNSe with the largest PISP barrier was shown to be a highly sensitive viscosity probe. Further evidence for heteroatom-harnessing PISP is given by PNC , in which the dimethylmethanediyl substituent lacks lone pair electrons for π extension, showing the normal emission of the bent structure. The results led to the conclusion that PISP is ubiquitous in dihydrodibenzo[ac]phenazines, for which the driving force is elongation of the π delocalization to gain stabilization in the excited state.     

Diversified Excited-State Relaxation Pathways of Donor–Linker–Acceptor Dyads Controlled by a Bent-to-Planar Motion of the Donor

Herein, we introduce the cyclic 8π-electron (C8π) molecule N,N′-diaryl-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine ( DPAC ) as a dual-functional donor to establish a series of new donor–linker–acceptor (D–L–A) dyads DLA1 – DLA5 . The excited-state bent-to-planar dynamics of DPAC regulate the energy gap of the donor, while the acceptors A1 – A5 are endowed with different energy gaps and HOMO/LUMO levels. As a result, the rate and efficiency of the excited-state electron transfer vs. energy transfer can be finely harnessed, which is verified via steady-state spectroscopy and time-resolved emission measurements. This comprehensive approach demonstrates, for the first time, the manifold of excited-state properties governed by bifunctional donor-based D–L–A dyads, including bent-to-planar, photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from excited donor to acceptor (oxidative-PET), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), bent-to-planar followed by electron transfer (PFET), and PET from donor to excited acceptor (reductive-PET).

Proton transportation in an organic–inorganic hybrid polymer electrolyte based on a polysiloxane/poly(allylamine) network

A new class of proton‐conducting polymer was developed via the sol–gel process from amino‐containing organic–inorganic hybrids by the treatment of poly(allylamine) with 3‐glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane doped with ortho‐phosphoric acid. The polymer matrix contains many hydrophilic sites and consists of a double‐crosslinked framework of polysiloxane and amine/epoxide. Differential scanning calorimetry results suggest that hydrogen bonding or electrostatic forces are present between H₃PO₄ and the amine nitrogen, resulting in an increase in the glass‐transition temperature of the poly(allylamine) chain with an increasing P/N ratio. The ³¹P magic‐angle spinning NMR spectra indicate that three types of phosphate species are involved in the proton conduction, and the motional freedom of H₃PO₄ is increased with increasing P/N ratios. The conductivity above 80 °C does not drop off but increases instead. Under a dry atmosphere, a high conductivity of 10^?3 S/cm at temperatures up to 130 °C has been achieved. The maximum activation energy obtained at P/N = 0.5 suggests that a transition of proton‐conducting behavior exits between Grotthus‐ and vehicle‐type mechanisms. The dependence of conductivity on relative humidity (RH) above 50% is smaller for H₃PO₄‐doped membranes compared with H₃PO₄‐free ones. These hybrid polymers have characteristics of low water content (23 wt %) and high conductivity (10^?2 S/cm at 95% RH), making them promising candidates as electrolytes for fuel cells. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Isolation and characterization of a newly identified type II restriction endonuclease from a local streptomyces sp. in Taiwan

Streptomyces chusanensis ZS-2, isolated from a soil sample in Chusan in Taiwan, was found to produce a new Type II restriction endonuclease. This restriction enzyme was designated as SchI. The purified enzyme was characterized as having a subunit mol wt of 28 kDa, and was apparently free from exonuclease activities. It cleaves the phosphodiester bond between the fourth C and the fifth G on the 5’-CCGCGG-3’ sequence of DNAs, leaving a 2-nucleotide protruding end at its 3’ site. This data suggests that SchI is an isoschizomer of SacII. In addition, based on the comparison between SchI and SacII regarding reaction parameters, it seems that SchI is a better choice of restriction enzyme for genetic analysis and mapping.

Ion-implanted treatment of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 films for DRAM applications

The effects of ion implantation on the properties of spin-on sol–gel Ba_0.7Sr_0.3TiO₃ (BST) thin films were studied by implanted Ar⁺, N⁺, and F⁺ doses. The F⁺-implanted BST samples present leakage current density <10⁻⁶ A/cm² at 2.5 V and dielectric constant 450. The leakage current of F⁺-implanted BST samples was reduced about one order of magnitude as compared with that of samples with implanted Ar⁺, N⁺ or without implantation. The thickness shrinkage from 135 to 115 nm was observed in F⁺-implanted BST films (before annealing treatment) and a respective increase in the refractive index from 1.84 to 2.05 was measured. After annealing the implanted samples, the changes of thickness and refractive index depend on the concentration of implanted dose. Based on an infrared transmission study of the samples we suggest that the ion-implanted samples with smaller dose (5×10¹⁴ cm⁻²) have fewer −OH contaminants than the non-implanted or implanted samples with the larger doses (1×10¹⁵ cm⁻²). Based on the results presented, we conclude that suitable ion implantation densifies the spin-on sol–gel BST films and reduces the −OH contaminants in the films.
