自20世纪70年代导电聚合物发现以来,聚吡咯、聚苯胺、聚噻吩、聚（3,4-乙撑二氧噻吩）、聚对苯及其衍生物等,以其特殊的电子、电化学、光学性质以及巨大应用潜力受到广泛关注。离子液体是一类在室温或接近室温时呈液态的离子化合物,作为一类环境友好的新型绿色溶剂,具有很多独特的物理化学性质。本文综述了离子液体作为反应介质、支持电解质、测试介质以及离子液体参与形成的聚集体,在导电聚合物的电化学合成以及电化学性质测试中的研究进展,并展望了发展趋势。     

D-A型共轭低聚物的电子性质及D-A比对其影响的理论研究

以[1,2,5]噻重氮并[3,4-g]喹喔啉(TQ)为受体、 噻吩(Th)、 噻吩并[3,2-b]噻吩(TTh)和吡咯(Py)为供体, 设计了6类供体-受体(D-A)型共轭低聚物. 采用杂化的密度泛函方法(B3LYP), 研究了此6类低聚物的电子结构和性质. 电子密度拓朴分析和核独立化学位移计算表明, 随着聚合度的增加, 体系共轭程度增强, HOMO-LUMO能级差逐渐减小. 同时, 随着聚合度的增加, 低聚物电离能减小, 电子亲和势增大. 供体-受体摩尔比(D-A比)对低聚物的性质有重要影响, 提高D-A比能有效地增大分子内电荷迁移, 从而使HOMO-LUMO能级差减小. Py不仅是一个强的电子供体, 还是一个潜在的氢键供体. 在含Py结构单元的低聚物中, 由于分子内氢键的存在使其具有较大的分子内电荷迁移值. 所设计的6种基于TQ的四聚体均具有较小的HOMO-LUMO能级差(<1 eV), 使其相应的聚合物的能隙更小, 可作为潜在的性能优良的导电材料.

Thieno[3,4-b]pyrazines and their applications to low band gap organic materials

The application of fused-ring thieno[3,4-b]pyrazines in conjugated organic polymers has been found to be a powerful approach to the production of low band gap materials. While thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-based materials date back to the early 1990s, significant advances in the preparation and scope of thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-based materials have been reported in recent years, primarily in response to the increasing demand for reduced band gap materials in photovoltaic devices. In this review, we provide an overview of thieno[3,4-b]pyrazines and their application to conjugated materials, highlighting in particular the recent advances in the breadth of thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine building blocks and the promise of tuning materials to achieve optimal properties for specific applications.     

Alternating narrow band gap copolymers derived from indeno[1,2‐b]fluorene and thiophene‐cored‐thieno[3,4‐b]pyrazine derivatives—Synthesis,characterization and comparative studies of photochemical stability

Alternating narrow band gap (NBG) conjugated polymers derived from 6,6′,12,12′‐tetraoctylindeno[1,2‐b]fluorene (IF) and 2,3‐dimethyl‐5,7‐dithien‐2‐yl‐thieno[3,4‐b]pyrazine (DTTP), 2,3‐diphenyl‐5,7‐dithien‐2‐yl‐thieno[3,4‐b]pyrazine (DPTP) or 2,3‐dioctyl‐5,7‐dithien‐2‐yl‐thieno[3,4‐b]pyrazine (DOTP), named as PIF‐DTTP, PIF‐DPTP, and PIF‐DOTP, respectively, were synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction and characterized. The photochemical stabilities of the copolymers and copolymer derived from IF and 5,7‐dithien‐2‐yl‐thieno[3,4‐b]pyrazine (DTP) were investigated by the UV absorptions, PL spectra, FT‐IR spectra, and photovoltaic properties of the copolymers as a function of UV irradiation time. The studies revealed that the degradation of thieno[3,4‐b]pyrazine (TP) ring under UV irradiation can be retarded or eliminated by introducing phenyl group into the 2,3‐positions of TP ring, and indicated that 2,3‐diphenylthieno[3,4‐b]pyrazine could be used as durable electron deficient moiety to achieve donor–acceptor NBG‐conjugated polymers. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An oligomer study on small band gap polymers

Small band gap polymers may increase the energy conversion efficiency of polymer solar cells by increased absorption of sunlight. Here we present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the optical and electrochemical properties of a series of well-defined, lengthy, small band gap oligo(5,7-bis(thiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine)s ( E g = 1.50 eV) having alternating donor and acceptor units. The optical absorptions of the ground state, triplet excited state, radical cation, and dication are identified and found to shift to lower energy with increasing chain length. The reduction of the band gap in these alternating small band gap oligomers mainly results from an increase of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level. The S 1-T 1 singlet-triplet splitting is reduced from approximately 0.9 eV from the trimeric monomer to -0.5 eV for the pentamer. This significant exchange energy is consistent with the fact that both the HOMO and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) remain distributed over virtually all units, rather than being localized on the D and A units.     

Molecular designing and DFT investigation of novel alternating donor–acceptor dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-based systems: from monomer to polymer

The structures and properties of dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (DBT) based alternating donor–acceptor conjugated oligomers, in which thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine (TP), thieno[3,4-b]thiadiazole (TD), and [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-e]thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine (TTP) as acceptors, and their periodic polymers were investigated by the density function theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The bond length, electron density at bond critical points (BCPs) and nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) are analyzed and correlated with the conductive properties. NICS shows that the conjugation degree is increased with main chain extension. Research results show the conductive ability of compounds with 1:2 D–A ratio is better than that with 1:1 D–A ratio. The reorganization energies and energy bands also are considered. The results suggest that (BTDDBT) _n and (BTPDDBT) _n have small reorganization energy (0.163 and 0.152 eV, respectively) and quite low energy gap (0.73 and 0.56 eV, respectively), which indicate that they may be potential organic conductive materials.     

Density functional theory investigation on the electronic structure of furo[3,4-b]pyridine-type heterocyclics: from monomer to polymer

The geometries and electronic properties of six polymers based on furo[3,4-b]pyridine-type heterocyclics were studied using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Bond lengths, bond critical point (BCP) properties, nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS), and Wiberg bond indexes (WBIs) are analyzed and correlated with conduction properties. The changes of bond length, BCP properties, NICS, and WBIs all show that the conjugational degree is increased with main chain extension. The changes of NICS also show that the conjugation is stronger in the central section than in the outer section. And the HOMO–LUMO energy gap (E _g) is decreased steadily upon chain elongation. The results suggest that the six polymers all have lower energy gaps (in the range of 0.39–0.58 eV), which indicate that these proposed polymers are good candidates for the conductive materials.     

Synthesis of Thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-based Alternating Conjugated Polymers via Direct Arylation for Near-infrared OLED Applications

Three alternating conjugated polymers,namely PFTP,PCz TP,and PSi TP,which combine a thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine(TP)unit with different benzene-based donor units such as 9,9-dioctylfluorene,9-heptadecyl-9H-carbazole and 5,5-dioctyl-5H-dibenzo[b,d]silole,were synthesized in good yield(>85%)and high molecular weight up to Mn=5.82×10⁴ via direct arylation polymerization(DAr P).All the resultant polymers exhibit moderate bandgap of about 1.80 e V and strong deep red/near-infrared emitting in the solid state.Among them,the PSi TP-based electroluminescence(EL)devices with an architecture of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PTAA/emitting layer/TPBi/Li F/Al give the best performance with a maximum luminance of 2543 cd/m² at 478 m A/cm².This work expands the application scope of high-performance conjugated polymers which can be synthesized by DAr P.

Small band gap conjugated polymers based on thiophene–thienopyrazine copolymers

In this study, five small band gap thiophene ( TH )–thienopyrazine ( TP ) conjugated copolymers were synthesized by Stille‐coupling reaction. The polymer structures consisted of one to four thiophene rings with the TP of different side groups provided a systematical investigation on the structure–electronic property relationship. The absorption maxima of the polymer films decreased from 850 to 590 nm as the thiophene moieties increased from thiophene to quaterthiophene. The optical and electrochemical band gaps of the studied poly[2,3‐didodecyl‐5‐(thiophen‐2‐yl)thieno[3,4‐b]pyrazine] ( PTHTP‐C12 ) were 0.97 and 0.78 eV, respectively, indicating a significant intramolecular charge transfer. The theoretical geometry and electronic properties of the TH ‐ TP copolymers by the density functional theory at the B3LYP level and 6‐31G(d) basis set suggested that the bond length alternation enlarged with enhancing the thiophene content and resulted in the variation on the polymer band gap. The relatively small theoretical effective mass of poly( TH ‐alt‐ TP ) also indicated its potential applications for field transistor applications. Our study demonstrates the tunable electronic properties of small band gap copolymers by the thiophene content and the resulted geometry variation. Such polymers could be potentially used for near‐infrared electronic and optoelectronic devices. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 5872–5883, 2007
