Synthesis of novel copoly(styrene-maleic anhydride) materials and their luminescent properties

Two series of new high fluorescent polymeric materials based on copoly(styrene-maleic anhydride) (SMA) were prepared by the condensation of SMA with fluorescent groups. One series consists of 1,8-naphthalimides derivatives that are linked with SMA. The other series were prepared by the condensation of SMA with 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic mono-anhydride mono-imide. These simple routes to copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride containing pendent luminescent moiety are promising in increasing fluorescent quantum yield in solid state and processing, in which styrene is employed as “diluents”. The luminescent and the preliminary photovoltaic properties of these copolymers have been investigated.     

Oligodeoxyfluorosides: Strong Sequence Dependence of Fluorescence Emission

We describe the properties of a series of oligomeric polyfluorophores assembled on the DNA backbone. The 11 oligomers (oligodeoxyfluorosides, ODFs), 4-7 monomers in length, were composed of only two fluorescent monomers and a spacer in varied sequences, and were designed to test how fluorescent nucleobases can interact electronically to yield complexity in fluorescence emission. The monomer fluorophores were deoxyribosides of pyrene and perylene, which emit light in violet and blue wavelengths, respectively. The experiments show that simple variation in sequence and spacing can dramatically change fluorescence, yielding emission maxima ranging from 380 to 557 nm and visible colors from violet to orange-red. Fluorescence lifetime data, excitation spectra, and absorption data point to a number of multi-fluorophore electronic interactions, including pyrene-pyrene and perylene-perylene excimers, pyrene-perylene exciplexes, as well as monomer dye emissions, contributing to the final spectral outcomes. Thus, two simple fluorophores can be readily combined to give emissions over much of the visible spectrum, all requiring only a single excitation. The results demonstrate that fluorescent nucleobases in oligomeric form can act cooperatively as electronic units, and that fluorophore sequence in such oligomers is as important as fluorophore composition in determining fluorescence properties.     

1,3,8,10-Tetrahydro-2,9-diazadibenzo[cd,lm]perylenes: synthesis of reduced perylene bisimide analogues

A unique family of 1,3,8,10-tetrahydro-2,9-diazadibenzo[cd,lm]perylenes (THDAP) was prepared through a new synthetic strategy. Completion of the synthesis was achieved in several steps from commercially available perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride via reactions between 3,4,9,10-tetra(chloromethyl)perylene and primary amines. The successful use of a variety of primary amines in the reactions indicated that the synthetic approach provides a rich opportunity to produce new functionalized perylene derivatives.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of ruthenium(II) complexes based on 2,2′-bipyridines modified by a perylene chromophore

Five new 2,2′-bipyridines functionalized with a perylene or a perylenediimide moiety were synthesized and the corresponding heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes ([Ru(bpy)₂(L)](PF₆)₂; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl, L = perylene-substituted bpy ligand) were prepared. The UV–vis spectra of the ruthenium(II) complexes showed red-shifted and intense absorption bands derived from the conjugated structure of the new ligands.     

Strong Electronic Communication in Linearly Elongated Rylenes Featuring Tunable Bridges

A modified synthetic pathway towards perylene-perylene dimers and a facile purification method to obtain the regioisomerically pure syn- and anti-isomers are reported. In addition, a novel perylene-naphthalene heterodimer with 30 conjugated π-electron pairs was designed and synthesized on the basis of a previously described precursor and the resulting regioisomers were separated from each other. Thereby, the opto-electronic properties of the linearly elongated chromophores could be investigated regarding the differences in length of their aromatic system and the configuration of the isomers. Further tuning of their energy gaps was realized via protonation and methylation of the dibenzimidazole-bridging unit. Extraordinary red-shifts of the absorption maxima of 62 nm for the methylated and 92 nm for the protonated perylene-perylene anti-isomer could be achieved. Moreover, the maxima for the syn-isomer could be shifted bathochromically by 87 and 113 nm, respectively.

Properties of solvent-free perylene iodine

The perylene iodine system was prepared by a vapour-phase reaction without the use of solvents. Compositions between peryleneI₂ and peryleneI₆ were synthesized and studied by gravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and temperature-dependent resistivity measurements. Infrared spectra in the region 400–4000 cm⁻¹ taken after different amounts of iodine were removed from the sample are distinct from perylene with new absorption lines at 1551 and 1302 cm⁻¹ and shifts of some perylene frequencies. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that the lattice is monoclinic with parameters a=11.65 Å, b=10.85 Å, c=10.1 Å, β=100.5°. The (1 0 0) reflection, which is forbidden in the space group of perylene, is observed from the compound. The material is electrically conductive and obeys Ohm's law at high temperatures. At low temperatures and high currents, nonlinear effects are observed. The conductivity of the material increases to 1.0 (Ω cm)⁻¹ at room temperature as the iodine content increases to a composition of peryleneI₆. The resistivity obeys an exponential temperature dependence.
