含膦酰杂菲侧基聚乙炔的合成与热稳定性

以2-(6-氧化-6-氢-二苯基(c,e)<1,2>氧杂磷酰基)-1,4-二羟基苯(ODOPB)结构单元为中心,在两侧通过酯化反应分别引入4-乙炔基苯甲酰基和4-烷氧基苯甲酰基,并作为乙炔单体,在[Rh(nbd)Cl]2催化下,30℃聚合得到了含磷酰杂菲(DOPO)基团的聚乙炔.1H-NMR和GPC分析表明,由于DOPO存在较大π共轭结构和较强极性效应,在诱导聚乙炔主链采取高反式构型的同时,增加了分子链内相邻侧基之间的相互作用,使整个分子链趋向二维共平面结构,有利于增强分子链之间的相互作用.TGA显示,与不含磷酰杂菲侧基的模型聚乙炔相比,DOPO的引入使聚乙炔呈现良好的热稳定性,起始热分解温度(T5%)接近400℃,说明通过增强分子链内侧基间相互作用有助于提高热稳定性.     

侧链含氨基的聚(对亚苯基亚乙炔基-对亚苯基-咔唑)三元共聚物的合成及其聚集态下荧光特性

通过Sonogashira偶联反应制备了含有4-[2-(对苯胺)乙烯基]苯(M1)、2,5-二戊烷氧基-1,4-二乙炔基苯(M2)和9-辛基咔唑(M3)3种结构单元的三元共轭聚合物PPEC,并通过核磁共振氢谱确定了3种结构单元的比例为0.54∶1.00∶0.46(M1∶M2∶M3).由于在PPEC的侧链中含有氨基基团,通过在PPEC的THF溶液中分别加入水、甲醇和正己烷,诱导其产生聚集,其聚集后的荧光性质表现出明显的不同,在THF与水的混合溶剂中,PPEC发光强度会随着水含量的增加先是急剧降低,而后在高水含量时发光强度又显著增强;在THF与甲醇的混合溶剂中,PPEC发光强度随着甲醇的加入只是逐渐降低;在THF与正己烷的混合溶剂中,PPEC的发光强度则会随着正己烷的增加而增强.该结果表明氨基通过与水,或者自身所形成氢键作用,改变了PPEC分子链之间的聚集态结构,降低了分子内旋转非辐射能量效率,从而有效改善共轭聚合物的主链发光性质,这为设计聚集态下(或固态下)高性能的荧光共轭聚合物提供了一种新思路.

荧光光谱法研究聚苯乙烯在良溶剂中的链构象变化

本文用分子内无辐射能量转移荧光光谱法研究了聚苯乙烯在良溶剂二氯乙烷和十氢萘中从极稀溶液到亚浓溶液的链构象转变.对比了无辐射能量转移荧光光谱法和聚苯乙烯激基缔合物荧光光谱法在研究聚苯乙烯溶液中的检测灵敏度差别,发现无辐射能量转移荧光光谱法在研究高分子链的构象转变方面,较激基缔合物荧光光谱法表现出更高的灵敏度和分辨率.无辐射能量转移荧光光谱法研究表明,当聚苯乙烯溶液浓度低于临界交叠浓度(C~*)时,随着浓度的增加,链的构象无明显变化,在C~*之下不存在所谓的动态接触浓度;当溶液浓度逐步提高,在预期的C~*区域内,荧光强度出现了明显的转折点,该值与理论推算的C~*数值一致;而且当浓度进一步增加时,在C~*以上,高分子链发生了显著的塌缩行为.研究表明,分子内无辐射能量转移荧光光谱法可以灵敏地检测C~*,而且C~*可以作为划分高分子链在溶液中构象转变的临界点.     

一种侧基横挂偶极单元的聚苯撑乙炔的光学性质

以对苯二乙炔和2,5-二溴苯衍生物为单体,无水N,N-二甲基甲酰胺（DMF）为溶剂,通过Sonogashira偶联反应,采用2种Pd催化剂（Pd(PPh₃)₄和PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂）合成了一种侧基带有偶极基团的聚苯撑乙炔。 单体的化学结构通过IR、NMR和元素分析等测试技术得到确证。 聚合物外观为黄色粉状固体,室温下溶于CHCl₃和THF等有机溶剂。 2种Pd催化剂对合成聚合物的分子量以及光学性质影响不大,但对聚合物的发光效率影响较大,由Pd(PPh₃)₄催化得到的聚合物分子链具有较高的立构规整性,因此,具有较高的发光效率。 不同溶剂环境以及聚合物固体膜的紫外以及荧光光谱研究结果表明,侧基偶极基团的相互静电排斥力,可以有效阻止大分子链之间的聚集,从而有效地抑制了聚苯撑乙炔聚集体的形成。     

用荧光方法研究端基为芘的聚苯乙烯在溶液中的聚集行为

利用原子转移自由基聚合（ATRP） 方法合成了窄分布的端基含有芘或萘的聚 苯乙烯（Py-PS和Na-PS）。研究了Py-PS在四氢呋喃（THF）溶液中的荧光发射光谱 随加水量的变化。结果表明,加水初期随着加水量的增加,对应于芘的单体荧光发 射峰强度（I_M）增加,当水加到一定量时,观察到由芘形成的激基缔合物（ excimer）的荧光光谱峰,其强度（I_E）随加水量的增加而进一步增强,而I_M下 降,直至体系产生宏观的相分离,此时I_M和I_E均不变。对这一结果从分子水平上 进行了讨论,并通过I_E/I_M与I_1/I_3随加水量的变化得到了不同浓度下Py-PS在 THF中聚集的临界加水量。另外,我们也用非辐射能量转移（NRET）的方法研究了 Py-PS混合溶液的聚集。这些结果对于进一步研究含聚苯乙烯链段的嵌段共聚物在 溶液中的聚集有重要意义。

Coupled electron and proton transfer processes in 4-dimethylamino-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde

TDDFT calculations, picosecond transient absorption, and time-resolved fluorescence studies of 4-dimethylamino-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (DMAHBA) have been carried out to study the electron and proton transfer processes in polar (acetonitrile) and nonpolar (n-hexane) solvents. In n-hexane, the transient absorption (TA) as well as the fluorescence originate from the ππ* state of the keto form (with the carbonyl group in the benzaldehyde ring), which is produced by an intramolecular proton transfer from the initially excited ππ* state of the enol form (OH group in the ring). The decay rate of TA and fluorescence are essentially identical in n-hexane. In acetonitrile, on the other hand, the TA exhibits features that can be assigned to the highly polar twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) states of enol forms, as evidenced by the similarity of the absorption to the TICT-state absorption spectra of the closely related 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMABA). As expected, the decay rate of the TICT-state of DMAHBA is different from the fluorescence lifetime of the ππ* state of the keto form. The occurrence of the proton and electron transfers in acetonitrile is in good agreement with the predictions of the TDDFT calculations. The very short-lived (～1 ps) fluorescence from the ππ* state of the enol form has been observed at about 380 nm in n-hexane and at about 400 nm in acetonitrile.     

Theoretical study on the aggregation-induced emission mechanism of anthryl-tetraphenylethene

Since the concept of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) was proposed by Benzhong Tang's research group in 2001, the exploration of the mechanism of AIE and the development of new high-performance AIE materials have been the focus and goal of this field. On the basis of a large number of experiment results, AIE mechanism has been well explained by lots of works, such as restricted intramolecular motion (RIM), J-aggregate et al. As tetraphenylethlene (TPE) molecules are stacked, the rotation of the benzene ring rotor is blocked, and the energy attenuation is released in the form of radiation, showing the AIE effect. In order to further explore the AIE effect of TPE, we performed electronic structure, spectrum simulation, and AIE mechanism calculations of the anthryl-tetraphenylethene (TPE-an) monomer and dimer in the gas phase, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and aqueous solutions at the B3LYP/6-31G** level. The calculation results show that TPE-an molecule is in a propeller-like configuration, and its fluorescence intensity is weak; compared with the monomer, the fluorescence intensity of the dimer increases by 87% in aqueous solution; the fluorescence intensity in the gas phase, THF solution, and aqueous solution gradually enhances with the increase of the degree of aggregation, which are consistent with the experimental results. The enhancement of fluorescence intensity is caused by the change of molecular structure caused by aggregation. This detailed AIE luminescence mechanism will provide theoretical guidance for AIE material design.     

Ultrafast intramolecular charge transfer with strongly twisted aminobenzonitriles: 4-(di-tert-butylamino)benzonitrile and 3-(di-tert-butylamino)benzonitrile

The newly synthesized aminobenzonitriles with two bulky amino substituents 4-(di-tert-butylamino)benzonitrile (DTABN) and 3-(di-tert-butylamino)benzonitrile (mDTABN) have strongly twisted amino groups in the ground state. From X-ray crystal analysis it is found that the amino twist angle theta of mDTABN equals 86.5 degrees , whereas a twist angle of around 75 degrees is deduced for DTABN from the extinction coefficient of its lowest-energy absorption band in n-hexane. Because of the electronic decoupling between the amino and benzonitrile groups caused by these large twist angles, the absorption of DTABN and mDTABN is relatively weak below 40000 cm-1, with extinction coefficients around 25 times smaller than those of the planar 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN). DTABN as well as mDTABN undergo efficient intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the singlet excited state, in nonpolar (n-hexane) as well as in polar (acetonitrile) solvents. Their fluorescence spectra consist of an ICT emission band, without evidence for locally excited (LE) fluorescence. The occurrence of efficient ICT with mDTABN is different from the findings with all other N,N-dialkylaminobenzonitriles in the literature, for which ICT only appears with the para-derivative. From solvatochromic measurements, an ICT dipole moment of 17 D is determined for DTABN as well as for mDTABN, similar to that of DMABN. The picosecond fluorescence decays of DTABN (time resolution 3 ps) are effectively single exponential. Their decay time is equal to the ICT lifetime tau'0(ICT), which increases with solvent polarity from 0.86 ns in n-hexane to 3.48 ns in MeCN at 25 degrees C. The femtosecond excited-state absorption (ESA) spectra of DTABN in n-hexane and MeCN at 22 degrees C show a decay of the LE and a corresponding rise of the ICT absorption. The ICT reaction time is 70 fs in n-hexane and 60 fs in MeCN. DTABN and mDTABN may have a strongly twisted ICT state, similar to that of 6-cyanobenzoquinuclidine but different from that of DMABN.     

Synthesis of poly(p-phenylene)s having alternating sugar and alkyl substituents by Suzuki coupling polymerization and evaluation of their main-chain conformations

This paper reports synthesis of poly(p-phenylene)s (PPPs) having alternating sugar and alkyl substituents by Suzuki coupling polymerization of a 1,4-dibromobenzene monomer having peracetylated glucose residues with a 1,4-benzene bis(boronic acid) having alkyl chains using Pd(PPh₃)₄ in a mixed solvent of THF and NaHCO₃ aq. at reflux temperature. The polymerization proceeded with the progress of frequent deacetylation, and thus, the crude product was acetylated, followed by the isolation procedures, giving the PPP having alternating peracetylated glucose and alkyl substituents. The structure of the isolated product was confirmed by the ¹H and ¹³C NMR measurements to be the desired PPP derivative. The M_n values were estimated by GPC analysis with DMF as the eluent to be 5400-12,700. The deacetylation of the polymer completely took place using sodium methoxide in methanol/THF. The conformation of the main-chain was evaluated by the CD spectrum in comparison with that of PPP only with the glucose substituents, indicating that the present PPP derivative had the flexible nature of the main-chain by introduction of the alkyl-substituted units between glucose-substituted units. The Suzuki coupling of a 1,4-dibromobenzne monomer having disaccharide substituents with the benzene bis(boronic acid) monomer was also performed under the similar conditions. The product was precipitated from the reaction mixture, which was simply isolated by filtration. The isolated polymer was purified further by reprecipitation into diethyl ether and its structure was a PPP having free disaccharide or monosaccharide residues. This indicated occurrence of complete deacetylation as well as partial degradation of the glycosidic linkages in the disaccharides during the polymerization. The main-chain of the obtained polymer had also the flexible nature. The fluorescence spectra of the obtained PPP derivatives in this study were also measured.     

Conjugated polymers with carbazole,fluorene, and ethylene dioxythiophene in the main chain and a pendant cyano group: Synthesis,photophysical, and electrochemical studies

Six new conjugated polymers comprising of carbazole, fluorene, and ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT) moieties along the backbone with a pendant cyano group attached to the ethylene moiety have been designed and synthesized via Sonogashira coupling polymerization reaction. Optical and electrochemical characterizations have shown that the energy band gaps lie within the range of 2.35–2.44 eV. Additionally, the presence of carbazole and EDOT makes these polymers better hole transporting materials, which is reflected from their low oxidation potential peaks (0.55–1.11 V) in cyclic voltammograms. Furthermore, the aggregation enhanced emission (AEE) phenomenon resulted in a 2.6‐fold increase in fluorescence intensity in a 90:10 THF/water mixture in comparison to pristine THF. The AEE properties were further verified by DLS (dynamic light scattering) experiment and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) studies. Polymers in solution as well as in polystyrene matrix emit in the green region (quantum yield in solution state Φ_f =41–43%) with CIE values (0.25–0.36, 0.52–0.57). Excellent thermal stability is observed for the new polymers. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2016 , 54, 2774–2784
