Cationic Exciplexes: Role of Hydrogen Bonding in Deactivation and Electronic Coupling

Emissive properties for the cationic exciplex (A⁺*/D→A^.D^.+) of an isoquinolinium cation tethered to a substituted arene ( 1⁺ ) are strongly affected by hydrogen bonding solvents. At equal dielectric constant (ϵ), the ground-to-excited state energy gaps (ΔG) and solvent reorganization energies (λ_s) decrease from nitriles to aliphatic alcohols. The corresponding decrease from aliphatic alcohols to high hydrogen bond acidity solvents is ∼3 times larger. The exciplex decay (k_Ex), largely determined by unfolding of the exciplex to a stretched conformer, changes in a complex way depending on the strength of the hydrogen bond ability of these solvents. In contrast, the electronic couplings between the exciplex ground, excited, and charge transfer states do not show a solvent functionality dependence.     

Changes in Electron Structure of the Triple Bond in Substituted Acetylene and Diacetylene Derivatives

The substituent effect is usually considered by means of various Hammett-like substituent constants and is most often related to aromatic systems. Unlike this, we present results of our research on the influence of 27 substituents spanning a wide range of electronic properties, from strongly electron-withdrawing to strongly electron-donating, on the electron structure of X-substituted acetylenes and diacetylenes – thus the systems which until now have practically not been subject of any deeper studies. It is shown that the interaction through triple bond(s) is associated with a significant advantage of resonance effects and that the substituent effect transmitted by the C≡C−C≡C unit is about half of that transmitted by the C≡C unit alone. Substituent X mainly affects the closest carbon atom by means of proximity effect, hence changes of charge on this atom do not follow any substituent constants. The effect on further carbon atoms is much smaller. The presence of the C≡C−C≡C unit withdraws more charge from X than a triple bond alone, and hinders communication between X and the terminal H atom. Comparison of substituent effects to those present in X-substituted benzene derivatives shows that the electronic properties of the terminal hydrogen atom in acetylenes and diacetylenes are most similar to the electronic properties of ortho and para hydrogen atoms in X-substituted benzene derivatives.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Two-photon Absorption Properties of 4′-(N,N-di(4-hydroxymethyl phenyl) amino)phenyl-2,2′:6′,2'-terpyridine

A novel donor-acceptor(D-A) triphenylamino terpyridine derivative L was facilely synthesized and fully characterized, and its single crystals were obtained and determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 11.760(5), b =12.516(5), c = 12.850(5) , α = 67.141(5), β = 65.284(5), γ = 75.876(5)o, Mr = 621.54, V = 1575.6(11) 3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.310 g/cm3, μ = 0.245 mm-1, F(000) = 648, the final R = 0.0671 and w R = 0.1869 for 11328 observed reflections with Ⅰ 2σ(Ⅰ). Linear and nonlinear optical properties of terpyridine derivative L were systematically investigated. The maximum two-photon cross-section of L was 382.5 GM(Goeppert-Mayer), measured by two-photon excited fluorescence(TPEF) method. This result demonstrates that the increase of intramolecular charge transfer(ICT) leads to enhanced two-photon absorption(2PA), which could be achieved by introducing additional electron-donor groups to the molecular framework.

乙炔黑涂层对锂硫电池性能的影响

锂硫电池的循环放电稳定性较低,因此我们采用一种低成本的方法改善锂硫电池的性能,即在硫电极表面制备乙炔黑涂层并测试了材料的形貌结构及电化学性能。结果表明,在硫含量（质量分数）70%的硫-乙炔黑复合材料中,硫附着在乙炔黑颗粒表面。接着在硫电极表面制备了厚度15 μm左右的乙炔黑涂层,乙炔黑涂层-硫电极的氧化反应电位低于硫电极,说明乙炔黑涂层有助于硫电极氧化反应的进行。与硫电极相比,乙炔黑涂层-硫电极活性物质的聚集程度低于硫电极,乙炔黑涂层-硫电极具有更高的放电比容量和循环放电稳定性。在150次循环充放电后,乙炔黑涂层-硫电极的放电比容量为894 mAh·g^-1。

Substituted 2-Phenacylbenzoxazole Difluoroboranes: Synthesis,Structure and Properties

Novel fluorescent dyes such as benzoxazole-boron complexes, bearing β-ketoiminate ligands, have been synthesized and characterized with a focus on the influence of a substituent on the basic photophysical properties. ¹H, ¹¹B, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of substituted 2-phenacylbenzoxazole difluoroboranes have been recorded and discussed. It is worth mentioning that a high correlation coefficient was found between ¹⁵N-NMR parameters and substituent constants. The photophysical properties of these new dyes have been investigated by fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy. The geometry optimization, vibrational spectra, and the HOMO and LUMO energies were calculated based on density functional theory with the use of the B3LYP functional and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set.

Molecular modeling of poly(p‐phenylenevinylene): Synthesis and photophysical properties of oligomers

A series of oligo(phenylenevinylene)s (OPVs) of different lengths containing aldehyde and dialdehyde groups on the ends were synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical properties were also investigated via ultraviolet–visible, steady‐state, and time‐resolved fluorescence spectra. The results indicated that the absorption maximum, radiative rate constant, and excitation maximum of an OPVnCHO oligomer series (where n represents the oligomeric length) showed linear relationships with the reciprocal number of conjugated units. Similarly, the absorption maximum and emission lifetime of the oligomers of an OPVn–2CHO series showed linear relationships with the reciprocal number of conjugated units. The dependence of the fluorescence intensities of the OPVs on the concentration of the quencher C₆₀ was evaluated. Apparently, upon photoexcitation, the OPVs underwent significant fluorescence quenching. The results for different OPV derivatives and a quenching mechanistic discussion showed that the static quenching contribution was indeed responsible for the significant upward curvature. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nonlinear Optical Properties of Porphyrin Derivatives with Electron‐donating or Electron‐withdrawing Substituents

To investigate photoelectric properties of meso‐extended porphyrin derivatives with electron‐donating or electron‐withdrawing substituents, a series of functionalized porphyrin materials have been designed and synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. The meso‐extended structures were fully characterized by ¹H NMR, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The photophysical properties of porphyrin derivatives were carefully examined by UV‐Visible and fluorescence spectra, and the solvatochromic effect was observed and discussed. In particular, Z‐scan technique was employed to characterize the third‐order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the products such as nonlinear absorption and refraction, the third‐order nonlinear refractive indexes (??⁽³⁾‐value) of these porphyrin derivatives achieved 3.9×10^?12 esu. In addition, the compounds could be self‐assembled into highly organized morphologies through phase‐exchange method. All the results indicated that the discotic materials have the potential for optoelectronic applications.

Spectral studies of N-nonyl acridine orange in anionic, cationic and neutral surfactants

The spectroscopic and photophysical properties of N-nonyl acridine orange – a metachromatic dye useful as a mitochondrial probe in living cells – are reported in water and microheterogeneous media: anionic sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and neutral octylophenylpolyoxyethylene ether (TX-100). The spectral changes of N-nonyl acridine orange were observed in the presence of varying amount of SDS, CTAB and TX-100 and indicated formation of a dye–surfactant complex. The spectral changes were also regarded to be caused by the incorporation of dye molecules to micelles. It was proved by calculated values K_b and f in the following order: K_b TX-100 > K_b CTAB > K_b SDS and f_TX-100 > f_CTAB > f_SDS. NAO binds to the micelle regardless the micellar charge. There are two types of interactions between NAO and micelles: hydrophobic and electrostatic. The hydrophobic interactions play a dominant role in binding of the dye to neutral TX-100. The unexpected fact of the binding NAO to cationic CTAB can be explained by a dominant role of hydrophobic interactions over electrostatic repulsion. Therefore, the affinity of NAO to CTAB is smaller than TX-100. Electrostatic interactions play an important role in binding of NAO to anionic micelles SDS. We observed a prolonged fluorescence lifetime after formation of the dye–surfactant complex τ_SDS > τ_TX-100 > τ_CTAB > τ_water, the dye being protected against water in this environment. TX-100 is found to stabilize the excited state of NAO which is more polar than the ground state. Spectroscopic and photophysical properties of NAO will be helpful for a better understanding of the nature of binding and distribution inside mammalian cells.

富氧条件下乙炔选择催化还原NOx

Acetylene as a reducing agent of metal exchanged HY catalysts, for selective catalytic reduction of NO in the reaction system of 0.16% NO, 0 （C2H2-SCR） was investigated over a series 08% C2H2, and 9.95% O2 （volume percent） in He. 75% of NO conversion to N2 with hydrocarbon efficiency about 1.5 was achieved over a Ce-HY catalyst around 300 ℃. The NO removal level was comparable with that of selective catalytic reduction of NOx by C3H6 reported in literatures, although only one third of the reducing agent in carbon moles was used in the C2H2-SCR of NO. The protons in zeolite were crucial to the C2H2-SCR of NO, and the performance of HY in the reaction was significantly promoted by cerium incorporation into the zeolite. NO2 was proposed to be the intermediate of NO reduction to N2, and the oxidation of NO to NO2 was rate-determining step of the C2H2-SCR of NO over Ce-HY. The suggestion was well supported by the results of the NO oxidation with O2, and the C2H2 consumption under the conditions in the presence or absence of NO.     

Plasma Thermal Conversion of Methane to Acetylene

This paper describes a re-examination of a known process for the direct plasma thermal conversion of methane to acetylene. Conversion efficiencies (% methane converted) approached 100% and acetylene yields in the 90–95% range with 2–4% solid carbon production were demonstrated. Specificity for acetylene was higher than in prior work. Improvements in conversion efficiency, yield, and specificity were due primarily to improved injector design and reactant mixing, and minimization of temperature gradients and cold boundary layers. At the 60-kilowatt scale cooling by wall heat transfer appears to be sufficient to quench the product stream and prevent further reaction of acetylene resulting in the formation of heavier hydrocarbon products or solid carbon. Significantly increasing the quenching rate by aerodynamic expansion of the products through a converging–diverging nozzle led to a reduction in the yield of ethylene but had little effect on the yield of other hydrocarbon products. While greater product selectivity for acetylene has been demonstrated, the specific energy consumption per unit mass of acetylene produced was not improved upon. A kinetic model that includes the reaction mechanisms resulting in the formation of acetylene and heavier hydrocarbons, through benzene, is described.

The Impact of a 1,2,3-Triazole Motif on the Photophysical Behavior of Non-K Tetrasubstituted Pyrene with a Substitution Pattern Providing the Long Axial Symmetry

1,3,6,8-Tetrasubstituted pyrene derivatives with two types of substituents (4-(2,2-dimethylpropyloxy)pyridine, 1-decyl-1,2,3-triazole, 1-benzyl-1,2,3-triazole, and pyrazole), substituted in such a way that provides the long axial symmetry, are prepared and characterized in the present study. To the best of our knowledge, the pyrene derivative containing the same heteroaryl motif (triazole) but substituted by two various alkyls, straight decyl and benzyl-based side chains (C), is reported for the first time. For comparison, compounds with one kind of triazole motif and substituted pyridine or pyrazole groups were prepared (A and B). The photophysical properties of all molecules were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV-Vis spectroscopy (absorption and emission spectra, quantum yields, and fluorescence lifetimes). The obtained results were compared to analogues substituted at the 1,3,6,8 positions by one kind of substituent and also with all the 1,3,6,8-tetrasubstituted pyrenes reported in the literature substituted by two kinds of substituents with a substitution pattern that provides long axial symmetry. In addition, theoretical studies based on DFT and TD-DFT were performed that supported the interpretation of the experimental results. The photophysical properties of tetrasubstituted pyrene derivatives having triazole units at the 1,8-positions, respectively, and other identical substituents at the 3,6 positions show the dominance of triazole units in the pyrene framework; the dominance is even higher in the case of the substitution of 1,3,6,8 positions by triazoles, but containing two various alkyls.

Metal‐Free Facile Synthesis of Multisubstituted 1‐Aminoisoquinoline Derivatives with Dual‐State Emissions

Although isoquinoline is a good traditional fluorescent structural unit, most of its derivatives emit fluorescence in solution and a few of them can emit solid‐state fluorescence as well. Herein, a series of multisubstituted 1‐aminoisoquinoline derivatives were synthesized by a simple reaction of a readily available 4H‐pyran derivative and secondary amines. The reaction had advantages of metal‐free, mild conditions, simple operation, and good yields, which was realized by a ring‐opening and sequential ring‐closing mechanism. These 1‐aminoisoquinoline derivatives were found to exhibit interesting dual‐state emissions. In the solution, they emitted strong blue fluorescence at about 458 nm. In the solid state, they emitted solid‐state blue fluorescence at 444–468 nm with high fluorescence quantum yields of 40.3–98.1%. Crystal structural analyses indicated that solid‐state emissions of these compounds originated from twisted molecular conformations and the resultant loose stacking arrangements. Furthermore, their solid‐state fluorescence wavelengths were demonstrated to depend on molecular conformations rather than stacking arrangements. The discovery of these 1‐aminoisoquinolines with multiple reaction sites provides new possibilities for the development of solid‐state fluorescent materials based on the traditional isoquinoline skeleton.
