Assembly of disperse red 1 molecules in the channels of AlPO4-5 single crystals for second-harmonic generation

Disperse red 1 (DR1) molecules have been successfully incorporated into the one-dimensional channels of AlPO4-5 single crystals by means of vapor-phase diffusion. Polarizing microscope and SHG results indicate that the DR1 molecules are well aligned in a preferred direction along the crystal channels. The p-polarization (parallel to the c-axis of AlPO4-5 crystal) SH intensity (Ip-ex), and s-polarization (perpendicular to the c-axis of AlPO4-5 crystal) SH intensity (Is-ex) of DR1-loaded AlPO4-5 single crystals can be well fitted as a function of input polarization angle (alpha): Ip-ex = 0.69 cos4 alpha + 0.37 sin4 alpha - 0.17, Is-ex = 0.69 cos2 alpha sin2 alpha + 0.06, respectively. This polarization angle dependence can be well explained by three different SHG processes of Ip (0 degrees), Ip (90 degrees), and Is (45 degrees), originated from different combinations of two polarized photons.     

Dynamics of ferrocene in AlPO4-5 single crystals probed by nuclear forward scattering

We have investigated the dynamics of ferrocene in the channels of single crystals of AlPO(4)-5, using nuclear forward scattering. Around 150 K, rotational dynamics sets in, which is strongly anisotropic up to 235 K. Assuming planar rotation of the ferrocene molecules within the channels we obtained an activation energy of (8.2+/-1.0) kJ mol(-1). Between 235 K and room temperature, the rotation becomes isotropic.     

高质量AlPO4 -5分子筛大单晶的合成与表征

The AlPO4-5 molecular sieve has been synthesized hydrothermally by using tripropylamine (TPA) as the template, and pseudoboehmite and orthophosphoric acid as aluminum and phosphorus sources, respectively. The single crystals of AlPO4-5 with different sizes have been obtained by varying the molar ratio of reactants and the crystallization conditions (such as the temperature and time). The typical molar ratio of the reactive mixture is Al2O3∶P2O5∶TPA∶C2H5OH∶H2O∶HF=1∶1.2∶2.66∶80∶1000∶0.7, and perfect AlPO4-5 large single crystals with the maximum length up to 2.0 and 0.31 mm transverse dimension have been prepared by crystallizing the mixture at 457 K for 48 h. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has been employed to observe the sizes and morphologies of the large single crystals of AlPO4-5. The structure of AlPO4-5 single crystal has been refined by the SMART 1000 single crystal diffractometer.     

Molecular conformations of protonated dipropylamine in AlPO4-11, AlPO4-31, SAPO-34, and AlPO4-41 molecular sieves

The host-guest interactions in AlPO4-11, AlPO4-31, SAPO-34, and AlPO4-41 molecular sieves prepared using the same organic structure-directing agent, i.e., dipropylamine, are investigated by a combination of Raman, 13C and 1H MAS NMR, and computer modeling studies. It was found that the organic molecules trapped within the pores of these four AlPO4-based materials exist as their protonated form and adopt distinct conformations in order to fit well with the pore structure of each host. In particular, the presence of two different types of conformations of protonated dipropylamine in the circular 12-ring channels of AlPO4-31 has been ascertained.

Statics and dynamics of ethane molecules in AlPO(4)-5: a molecular dynamics simulation study.

From an experimental perspective, there has been disagreement among researchers on whether ethane would display single-file or normal diffusive behavior in the channels of AlPO(4)-5. Pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance measurements implied single-file diffusion, while quasielastic neutron scattering showed normal diffusion. In this paper we present the results of extensive classical molecular dynamics simulations of the diffusion of ethane molecules adsorbed in AlPO(4)-5. Our aim is to provide microscopic details of the static and dynamic properties of the adsorbed molecules in order to verify whether the conditions for the single-file regime can be achieved in a nondefective AlPO(4)-5 crystal structure.

Simultaneous measurement of orientational and spectral dynamics of single molecules in nanostructured host-guest materials

Nanostructured host-guest materials are important for various applications in nanoscience, and therefore, a thorough understanding of the dynamics of the guest molecules within the host matrix is needed. To this aim we used single-molecule fluorescence techniques to simultaneously examine the spectral and the orientational behavior of single molecules in nanostructured porous host materials. Two types of host-guest systems have been investigated. First, oxazine-1 dye molecules were fixed rigidly in the channels of microporous AlPO4-5 crystals. Second, it was shown that terrylenediimide (TDI) dye molecules move in the mesoporous network of an uncalcined M41S thin film. In the first sample both spectral fluctuations ( approximately 5 nm) and rare spectral jumps (>10 nm) of the emission maximum were observed. However, the orientation of the emission dipole of the dye molecules remained constant. In contrast, the second system showed orientational dynamics as well as substantially more spectral dynamics. In this system the molecules were found to move between different regions in the host. The typical motion of the TDI molecules in the pores of M41S was not continuous but characterized by jumps between specific sites. Moreover, the spectral and orientational dynamics were correlated and arose directly from the different environments that were being explored by the mobile molecule.     

Self-association of rhodamine dyes in different host materials

The aggregation of rhodamine 6G in liquid crystalline solution (anisotropic host) was studied using polarised spectroscopy and in a guest-host system. The self-association of rhodamine B was investigated in molecular sieves of type AlPO(4)-5 (microporous host) using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Also, the molecular interaction of rhodamines in normal solvents (isotropic hosts) was studied using visible spectroscopy for comparison. Therefore, the role of the host nature in the different phases on the self-association of the guest molecules has been investigated and compared. The absorption spectrum of the rhodamine dye in liquid crystalline host is affected by a specific interaction related to the alignment by the liquid crystal property as well as solvent polarity. Due to the existence of a large amount of water molecules absorbed into channels and cavities of aluminophosphate molecular sieve, the maximum absorption wavelengths of the dye loaded AlPO(4)-5 is affected by aqueous environment of the aluminophosphate pores.

Spectroscopic characterization of Brooker’s merocyanine in Silicalite-1 and ZSM-5 leading to second harmonic generation

The use of porous materials has become increasingly significant in the pursuit of novel composite materials with nonlinear optical properties. The microporous channels in Silicalite-1 and ZSM-5, which have identical crystal frameworks but different chemical composition, were used to study the role of zeolite composition on dye adsorption and organization, leading to second-harmonic generation (SHG). The dye molecule, known as Brooker’s merocyanine (4-[(1-methyl-4(1H)-pyridinylidene)ethylidene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one), exhibits one of the largest known molecular hyperpolarizabilities for small dye molecules, but it crystallizes centrosymmetrically. When Brooker’s merocyanine was adsorbed to Silicalite-1 powder, no SHG was detected, but when adsorbed to ZSM-5, the powder was SHG-active. Spectroscopic characterization of the new materials was used to determine the dye loading in each zeolite. The hydrophilic ZSM-5 channels proved to be essential for dye adsorption and alignment within the channels as compared to the hydrophobic Silicalite-1 which did not appreciably adsorb the dye. The effect of dye protonation and isomerization on adsorption to each zeolite was also studied, with neither having an effect on the amount of dye adsorbed.

几种极性有机晶体的生长习性与形成机理 2: 分子堆积、界面结构与晶体的习性

极性有机晶体在不同的溶剂中具有明显不同的生长习性, 主要有两个方面的原因: 一是极性有机晶体属非中心对称性晶类, 晶体具有极轴, 极轴的存在对分子堆积和晶体生长具有重要影响; 另一是极性有机晶体的界面结构不同, 溶剂与晶体界面的相互作用不同, 使得晶体同一面族的生长速率不同, 从而导致了晶体习性的改变。本文从几种典型极性有机晶体的分子排列和结构特征出发, 着重探讨了极性有机晶体的界面结构的差异对晶体习性的影响; 结合晶体生长界面与溶剂分子的相互作用进一步理解了晶体生长的溶剂效应; 通过理解极性有机晶体的习性机制, 探讨了晶体实际形态的控制。     

Formation of a Syndiotactic Organic Polymer Inside a MOF by a [2+2] Photo‐Polymerization Reaction

Getting suitable crystals for single‐crystal X‐ray crystallographic analysis still remains an art. Obtaining single crystals of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) containing organic polymers poses even greater challenges. Here we demonstrate the formation of a syndiotactic organic polymer ligand inside a MOF by quantitative [2+2] photopolymerization reaction in a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal manner. The spacer ligands with trans,trans,trans‐conformation in the pillared‐layer MOF with guest water molecules in the channels, undergo pedal motion to trans,cis,trans‐conformation prior to [2+2] photo‐cycloaddition reaction and yield single crystals of MOF containing two‐dimensional coordination polymers fused with the organic polymer ligands. We also show that the organic polymer in the single crystals can be depolymerized reversibly by cleaving the cyclobutane rings upon heating. These MOFs also show interesting photoluminescent properties and sensing of small organic molecules.

Photoinduced effects in hybrid sol-gel materials

Hybrid silica-based sol-gel films containing Disperse Red 1 (DR1), carbazole units (CBZ) and 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone (TNF) at different concentrations show reversible photoinduced birefringence. Polarization sensitive holographic gratings have been produced and characterized. Dichroism measurements give information on the orientation mechanisms and on the aggregation of the dye molecules. The alignment of the DR1 molecules by corona poling is verified by second harmonic generation (SHG) and a moving grating technique is used to investigate an asymmetric energy exchange in a two-beam coupling experiment, typical of photorefractive gratings.
