Novel liquid crystalline organic semiconducting oligomers incorporating N-heterocyclic carbazole moieties for fluorescent OLEDs

A novel class of nematic liquid crystalline organic semiconducting oligomers incorporating N-heterocyclic carbazole moieties has been synthesised using simple and highly efficient reaction pathways. The electroluminescent colour of these novel oligomers can be varied in a controlled manner by molecular design. The values of the ionisation potential and the electron affinity of these electroluminescent oligomers can also be matched by structural design to the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) energy level of the electron-blocking layer and the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy level of electron-transporting layer in the Organic light emitting diodes to create low charge-injection barriers for electrons and holes, respectively leading to electroluminescence with an efficacy up to 4.1 cd A^?1.

A dual-function chemosensor based on coumarin for fluorescent turn-on recognition of Hg2+ and colorimetric detection of Cu2+ in aqueous media

A novel coumarin derivative CTT was synthesized via the condensation of 7-(N,N-diethylamino) coumarin-3-aldehyde with 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol and its structure was characterized using infrared spectroscopy (IR), ¹H NMR, mass spectrometry (MS) techniques, and elemental analysis. The recognition properties of CTT with metal ions were investigated in CH₃CN–H₂O (v/v = 1/1) solution using UV–vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectrum method. The results showed that CTT could monitor Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺ simultaneously as a dual-function chemosensor in CH₃CN–H₂O (v/v = 1/1). CTT could be used to detect Cu²⁺ colorimetrically; when using CTT, a color change from yellowish-brown to yellowish-green could be readily observed by the naked eye. CTT showed turn-on fluorescent recognition of Hg²⁺, the fluorescence enhancement was attributed to the inhibited C=N isomerization and the obstructed excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of CTT. The recognition mechanism of CTT for Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺ was studied by experiments and theoretical calculations, respectively. Therefore, CTT has the ability to be a “single chemosensor for dual targets.”     

Highly sensitive and selective optical chemosensor for determination of Cu2+ in aqueous solution

A highly selective and sensitive rhodamine-based colorimetric chemosensor (1) for quantification of divalent copper in aqueous solution has been investigated in this work. It was designed using salicylaldehyde hydrazone and rhodamine 6G as copper-chelating and signal-reporting groups, respectively. In environmentally friendly media (50% (v/v) water/ethanol and 10 mM NaAc–HAc neutral buffer (pH 7.0)), the sensor exhibited selective absorbance enhancement to Cu²⁺ over other metal ions at 529 nm, with a dynamic working range of 0.05–5.00 μM and a detection limit of 10 nM Cu²⁺, respectively. To achieve fluorometric determination of Cu²⁺, the Cu²⁺-induced absorbance enhancement of 1 was efficiently converted to fluorescence quenching by fluorescence inner filter effects using rhodamine B (RB) as a fluorophore. The selectivity and sensitivity of fluorescence analysis were similar to those of absorptiometric measurement. Both absorptiometric and fluorometric methods were successfully applied to the detection of Cu²⁺ in three water samples.

A novel lipid droplets-targeting fluorescent probe based on dicyanisophorone and carbazole for Cu2+ and its application

A novel fluorescent probe, LCH , based on dicyanisophorone and carbazole, was prepared for the visual detection of Cu²⁺. The probe LCH could recognize Cu²⁺ by fluorescence quenching in EtOH/H₂O (1/4, v/v) solution, which could be easily identified under the 365 nm UV lamp, and the detection limit was as low as 0.785 μM. The recognition mechanism of probe LCH with Cu²⁺ was determined by combining ¹H NMR titration, MS, and theoretical calculations. Practical application experiments showed that probe LCH could be used to detect Cu²⁺ in the test strip experiments. Cell imaging experiments showed that the probe LCH owned good cell permeability and could be applied to the imaging of Cu²⁺ in HepG2 cells. In addition, fluorescence colocalization experiments showed that LCH could target lipid droplets. These results indicate that the probe LCH will have a good application prospect in environmental detection and clinical medicine.     

Triphenylene-based discotic liquid crystals: star-shaped oligomers and branched-chain polymers

Liquid crystalline main-chain polymers based on a repeat hexaalkoxytriphenylene moiety have previously been made by the reaction of dihydroxytetraalkoxytriphenylenes with α,ω-dibromoalkanes catalysed by caesium carbonate in N-methyl pyrrolidone. We now show that the molecular weights of these polymers can be increased by adding ?5 wt% of a tribromide (a 1,3,5-trialkoxybenzene or trialkoxymethylbenzene with three ω-bromoalkyl substituents) to the reaction mixture. Studies of model oligomer systems show that, provided the ω-bromoalkyl chains are long enough, the presence of these branching points should not affect the formation of the Col_h mesophase. Indeed, if ?5 wt% of the tribromide is used in the synthesis of the polymer, it remains liquid crystalline. However, if >20 wt% of the tribromide is used, introducing a high degree of branching and cross-linking, the liquid crystal behaviour disappears.     

Synthesis and testing of new end-functionalized oligomers for molecular electronics

The compounds synthesized are series of azobenzenes, bipyridines and oligo(phenylene vinylene)s that bear acetyl-protected thiols for ultimate attachment to metallic surfaces. Some initial electrochemical and solid-state test results are also reported.

Novel Fluorescent Chemosensors Based on Tryptophan Unit for Cu2+ and Fe3+ in Aqueous Solution

We reported four fluorescent chemosensors containing tryptophan units. The fluorescence spectrum titration experiments suggest that chemosensors 1, 2, 3 and 4 are highly selective for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ over Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Cr³⁺ via forming complexes with Cu²⁺ or Fe³⁺, which is confirmed by dramatical quench of fluoreseence in aqueous solution at pH 7.4, thus making all the chemosensors suitable for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ fluorescent sensors.     

Investigating the New Interaction Model between Cu(II) and PVA by the Proton Relaxation Method

An aqueous PVA-Cu²⁺ solution at pH = 3 is in the hydrated form and becomes green at pH ? 6 with a decrease in viscosity. The structure of the copper ion is suggested to be that of a polynuclear complex at pH > 6. For the green solution the polynuclear chains of the copper complex are believed to be surrounded by the PVA chains with the hydrophobic backbones facing toward the inside and the hydrophilic OH groups oriented toward the outside facing the bulk water. The proton spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1p and the spin-spin relaxation rate 1/T₂ of CH and CH₂ in PVA and H₂O for aqueous PVA-Cu²⁺ solutions at pH = 3, can be explained by the two site exchange model in the region of the fast exchange limit. The dipolar correlation time τ_c is dominated by the reorientational process with a dipolar correlation time of 2.11 × 10^?11 s. When the pH rises from pH=3 to pH=12.5, the variation of 1/T₁p and 1/T₂p of CH and CH₂ in PVA with Cu²⁺ ion concentration in aqueous PVA-Cu²⁺ solution at pH=12.5 can be explained in terms of the relaxation by an inclusive model of the polynuclear copper complex and PVA. Furthermore, the frequency (or field) dependence of 1/T₁p, 1/T₂p of CH in PVA for aqueous PVA-Cu²⁺ solution at pH = 12.5 suggests that the dipolar relaxation is dominated by the electron-spin relaxation with the electron spin relaxation time T_1e = 1 ? 2 × 10^?10 s. The invariance of 1/T₁p and 1/T₂p of H₂O with the variation of the Cu²⁺ ion concentration in aqueous PVA-Cu²⁺ solution at pH = 12.5 supports the hypothesis that the water is not directly bound to the Cu²⁺ ion.     

Reactive lyotropic polyimide oligomers

Amine-terminated and maleimide-terminated oligomers of molecular weight 1200–1800 based on 2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4′-diaminobiphenyl and 3,3′,4,4′-biphenylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride were synthesized and characterized for lyotropic liquid crystalline behavior. Several different synthetic procedures were evaluated and a one-step procedure in m-cresol was found to be the most effective for producing fully imidized materials. Lyotropic behavior was observed only for the as-prepared solutions in m-cresol and in dilutions of this solution. Oligomer thermal stability was excellent, onsets of decomposition were in excess of 550°C. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
