Synthesis and characterization of a novel carbazole cyclic oligomer and main-chain polymer

The efficient synthesis of a novel cyclic carbazole tetramer and carbazole main-chain polymer via the Knoevenagel condensation has been developed. The carbazole cyclic tetramer could be obtained in a high yield by a one-stage Knoevenagel condensation of 3,6-diformyl-9-heptylcarbazole and 3,6-bis(cyanoacetoxymethyl)-9-heptylcarbazole in tetrahydrofuran (THF) without the use of the high-dilution principle. The corresponding carbazole main-chain polymer could also be obtained as a main product by a two-stage Knoevenagel polycondensation. Detailed structural characterization of this novel oligomer by spectroscopy and elemental analysis confirmed the cyclic structure. The corresponding main-chain polymer with large molecular weight was found to be amorphous by differential scanning calorimetry. Studies on the nonlinear optical and photorefractive properties of these materials are in progress. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35 : 2041–2047, 1997

Synthesis and characterization of some carbazole-based imine polymers

Five imine polymers, all containing 3,6-disubstituted carbazole ring in the main polymer chain, were synthesized by solution polycondensation of 3,6-diformyl (N-hexyl) carbazole with hydrazine, 1,4-diaminobenzene, 4,4′-diaminobiphenyl, 1,5-diaminonaphthalene and 3,6-(N-hexyl) diaminocarbazole. The polymers were analyzed by spectroscopic methods and compared with two imine models.     

Covalent Modification of Graphene Oxide with Carbazole Groups for Laser Protection

In the past decades, significant effort has been invested into the research and development of optical limiting materials and processes in order to develop practical solutions for the protection from laser beams. In this study, a new soluble graphene oxide based material (GO–Cz) has been synthesized through the covalent modification of graphene oxide (GO) with a carbazole derivative (Cz). The formation of an amido bond between the Cz group and GO has been confirmed by X‐ray photoelectron and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. At the same concentration, both the nonlinear extinction coefficient and the imaginary third‐order susceptibility were increased by a factor of ≈6.93 at 532 nm and ≈6.07 at 1064 nm relative to those of GO, as a result of the covalent grafting of the Cz moieties onto the GO surface. The GO–Cz dispersions exhibit a much better optical limiting performance than GO and GO/Cz blends at both 532 and 1064 nm due to the possible intramolecular electron‐transfer between the GO and Cz moieties and the effective combination of the different nonlinear optical mechanisms.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel bisphthalonitrile resins linked by different molecular weight main-chain polybenzoxazines

A series of novel type bisphthalonitriles with different molecular weight main-chain polybenzoxazines as linkages have been successfully synthesized using 4, 4′-diaminodiphenyl methane, paraformaldehyde, bisphenol A and 4-nitrophthalonitrile as initial materials. The structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR). The formation of benzoxazine and the existence of nitrile groups were confirmed by the absorbance at 950cm^?1 of benzene attached with oxazine ring and 2231 cm^?1 of nitrile groups. The characteristic resonance peaks observed at about 4.52 (C-CH₂-N) and 5.28 ppm (N-CH₂-O) also determined the structure of benzoxazine ring. The curing behaviors were monitored by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FT-IR. Two-stage polymerization mechanisms were observed according to the ring-opening of benzoxazine and the polymerization of nitrile groups catalyzed by phenolic hydroxyl groups, which generated during the curing reaction of benzoxazine. The polymerization of these bisphthalonitriles exhibited self-promoted curing behaviors. The completion of polymerization was proved by the disappearance of the band located at 950 cm^?1 in FT-IR. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to investigate the thermal stability, and the results showed that the cured polymers achieved extremely high char yield from 61.1% up to 74.2% at 800°C under nitrogen and exhibited increasing decomposition temperature as the contents of phthalonitrile groups increased, which indicated that the polymerization of phthalonitriles could improve the thermal stability.

Novel Blue Light-emitting PPV-based Copolymer Containing Triazole and Carbazole Units

For making the polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) device with good performance, it is desirable to reach the balance of electron and hole injection. However, for most conjugated polymer, hole injection is more favorable than electron injection. So it is important to design and synthesize the bipolar conjugated polymer with both electron and hole transporting ability for the fabrication of single-layer PLED1-2. In this communication we present the synthesis and preliminary characterizatio…     

Synthesis and characterization of interpenetrating polymer networks for nonlinear optics

Two-component simultaneous interpenetrating networks (IPN) of thepoly(4′-[[2-(methylacryloxy)ethyl]ethylamino]-4-nitroazobenzene-co-methyl meth-acrylate) (PDR1MA-co-MMA)/poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) system, the PDR1MA/PPO system and 4′-[[2-(acetoxy)ethyl]ethylamino]-4-nitroazo benzene (ACDR1) doped MMA/PPO system were synthesized and characterized. As studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) the full IPNs of the PDR1MA-co-MMA/PPO system and the PDR1MA/PPO system showed a single T_g varying with the PPO composition. A single-phase morphology of the full IPNs was also indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Transparent films were cast onto clean microscopic glass slides and poled at 190°C for 1 h. The UV-VIS absorption spectra of the three IPN systems before and after curing and corona poling showed a shift in the maximum absorption due to the induced alignment of the nonlinear optical chromophores in the IPN systems. The absorption intensity of the full IPNs remained same after heating at 120°C for 72 h, indicating that the electric field-induced alignment is stable in the full IPN materials. Preliminary second harmonic generation (SHG) data on these IPNs are presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 553–561, 1998     

Synthesis and characterization of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-containing polyazomethines

Novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole-containing polyazomethines were synthesized by the polycondensation of diamines, 2,5-bis (m-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BMAO) and 2,5-bis (p-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BPAO), with aromatic dialdehydes, isophthalaldehyde and terephthalaldehyde, in m-cresol at 20°C. These polymers were yellow to orange in color and had reduced viscosities up to 1.13 dL/g and electric conductivity as high as 10^?11?10^?12 S cm^?1. All the polyazomethines were insoluble in common organic solvents but dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid. Thermogravimetry showed that thermal degradation started at around 400°C in air and nitrogen atmospheres. Doping with iodine markedly increased the conductivity and produced the black-colored semiconductive polyazomethines with a maximum conductivity of the order of 10^?6 S cm^?1. Electronic spectra of the undoped polymers indicated a large bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima due to C?N bonds of the monomer diamines (285 nm for BMAO and 315 nm for BPAO). This suggests that π-electrons of the polymers are extensively delocalized along the main chain.

Synthesis and characterization of 1,3,4-thiadiazole-containing polyazomethines and copolyazomethines

Novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole-containing polyazomethines and copolyazomethines were synthesized by the solution polycondensation, in m-cresol at 25°C, of aromatic dialdehydes, isophthalaldehyde and terephthalaldehyde, with 2,5-bis (m-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (BMAT) and with BMAT and aromatic diamines, bis (4-aminophenyl) ether and 1,5-diaminonaphthalene, respectively. These polymers were tan yellow to yellow in color and had reduced viscosities up to 0.32 dL/g in concentrated sulfuric acid and electric conductivity as high as 10^?9?10^?11 S cm^?1 at 25°C. All the polymers were insoluble in common organic solvents but dissolved completely in concentrated sulfuric acid and formic acid. However, they were readily hydrolyzed in concentrated sulfuric acid. X-ray diffraction diagrams showed that the crystallinity of polyazomethines were low, but copolyazomethines were highly crystalline. These azomethine polymers are highly thermally and thermooxidativelly stable and exhibited no appreciable decomposition up to 400°C in both air and nitrogen atmospheres. Doping with iodine dramatically raised the conductivity and produced the dark brown- to completely black-colored semiconductive polymers with a maximum conductivity of the order of 10^?5 S cm^?1. Electronic spectra of the undoped polymers indicated a large bathochromic shift of the π?π^* absorption band (310 nm) due to C?N bonds of BMAT. This result suggests that π-electrons of the polymers are extensively delocalized along the main chain.

Synthesis of Calix[4]arene Derivatives with NLO Properties

The new chromophore compounds with NLO properties were prepared by Knoevenagel condensation from forrnyl or diformyl calix[4/arene and isophorone derivatives in the presence of piperidine and acetic acid, respectively. In these chromophore calix[4]arenes, the ring locked trienes were employed as the conjugation bridge and electron acceptor in D-π-A units. The NMR spectra demonstrated that they existed in a cone conformation and consequently non-conjugated D-π-A units could be oriented at nearly the same direction.
