Synthesis of novel H-shaped chromophores

A series of H-shaped chromophores with two parallel and non-conjugated D-π-A units have been synthesized, in which a 9,10-dihydroanthracene was employed as molecular backbone. The synthesis of these H-shaped chromophores 9a–11a was accomplished via an eight-step reaction, including double Claisen rearrangement, hydroboration–oxidation, Rieche formylation reaction, Knoevenagel condensation and Corey–Fuchs reaction, with a total yield about 12.5%. The corresponding mono-D-π-A unit compounds 9b–11b were also prepared in a similar procedure for the purpose of comparison. Crystal structures of three intermediates 5a, 7a and 8a were measured, which demonstrate that the two D-π-A units in a single H-shaped chromophore molecule are nearly arranged at the same direction. The studies of UV–vis spectra and the solvatochromic method indicate that the molecular second-order polarizabilities values (μβ) of H-shaped chromophores are remarkably increased compared with the corresponding mono-D-π-A unit reference compounds, without causing a large shift of the absorption band to longer wavelength.     

Composing NLO Chromophore as a Puzzle: Electrochemistry-based Approach to Design and Effectiveness

A series of D-π-A, D-π-D′-π-A, D-π-A′-π-A nonlinear optical chromophores with vinylene π-electron bridges or bridges with π-deficient/π-excessive heterocyclic moieties along with the corresponding precursors D-vinylene, D-π-D′, D′-π-A, D-π-A′ and A′-π-A are synthesized and studied both experimentally and computationally. The effect of the heterocycle in the π-electron bridge on the oxidation/reduction potentials and the energy gap (ΔE^el) is investigated in detail. The properties of the D-π-A′(D′)-π-A chromophores are shown to correlate with those of building blocks: the oxidation potential is determined by the D-vinylene, and the reduction potential is determined by A′(D′)-π-A truncated compounds. The contribution of the acceptor to the oxidation potential of chromophores in comparison with those of the precursors was estimated and analyzed in terms of electronic communication between the end groups. A good correlation between the ΔE^el and the chromophores’ first hyperpolarizability is revealed.     

Effect of alicyclic ring size on the photophysical and photochemical properties of bis(arylidene)cycloalkanone compounds

A series of bis(arylidene)cycloalkanone compounds based on cyclobutanone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and cycloheptanone, C4-C7, respectively, with a D-π-A-π-D structure containing the same donor and acceptor but different alicyclic rings was prepared. The effects of alicyclic ring size on the photophysical, photochemical and electrochemical properties of these compounds were investigated systematically. We found that an increase of the number of carbons in the central alicyclic ring leads to changes in geometry, which has significant effects on the conjugation, and photophysical and photochemical properties. These effects include decreases in the fluorescence quantum yield, transient lifetimes, peak extinction coefficients, and the singlet oxygen quantum yield with the increase of the ring size. The one-photon absorption spectra, the two-photon absorption (2PA) spectra, and the fluorescence spectra all show a hypsochromic shift with increasing ring size. The results of this study provide guidance for the design of new cycloketone-based D-π-A-π-D 2PA compounds for photopolymerization and photodynamic therapy applications.

Two-photon absorption properties of two-dimensional π-conjugated chromophores: combined experimental and theoretical study

The two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of four TPEB [tetrakis(phenylethynyl)benzene] derivatives (TD, para, ortho, and meta) with different donor/acceptor substitution patterns have been investigated experimentally by the femtosecond open-aperture Z-scan method and theoretically by the time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) method. The four compounds show relatively large TPA cross sections, and the all-donor substituted species (TD) displays the largest TPA cross-section σ(2) = 520 ± 30 GM. On the basis of the calculated electronic structure, TD shows no TPA band in the lower energy region of the spectrum because the transition density is concentrated on particular transitions due to the high symmetry of the molecular structure. The centrosymmetric donor-acceptor TPEB para shows excitations resulting from transitions centered on D-π-D and A-π-A moieties, as well as transition between the D-π-D and A-π-A moieties; this accounts for the broad nature of the TPA bands for this compound. Calculations for two noncentrosymmetric TPEBs (ortho and meta) reveal that the diminished TPA intensities of higher-energy bands result from destructive interference between the dipolar and three-state terms. The molecular orbitals (MOs) of the TPEBs are derivable with linear combinations of the MOs of the two crossing BPEB [bis(phenylethynyl)benzene] derivatives. Overall, the characteristics of the experimental spectra are well-described based on the theoretical analysis.     

Blue two-photon excited fluorescence of several D-π-D, A-π-A, and D-π-A compounds featuring dimesitylboryl acceptor

Several donor-π-donor (D-π-D), acceptor-π-acceptor (A-π-A), and donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) types of organic compounds with fluorene as π bridge and dimesitylboryl group as electron acceptor, which show strong two-photon excited blue fluorescence, have been synthesized and structurally investigated. The symmetric A-π-A type of compound exhibits the shortest wavelength of two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) at λ_em=405 nm under the excitation of λ_ex=730 nm; the unsymmetric D-π-A type of compound with diphenylamino as donor exhibits the most intense TPEF at blue region (λ_em=484 nm) with a two-photon absorption cross-section of 425 GM under λ_ex=800 nm.     

Exploring the effect of different coumarin donors on the optical and photovoltaic properties of azo-bridged push-pull systems: A theoretical approach

We report the theoretical modeling of various azo-bridged coumarin-purpurin systems. The effect of varying the donor (coumarin) part of this D-π-D-π-A system was analyzed in terms of opto-electronic and photovoltaic parameters such as HOMO, LUMO, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, λ_max, light harvesting efficiency, charge injection efficiency, open voltage, reorganization energy by employing density functional theory as incorporated in Gaussian 03 set of codes. The dye-TiO₂ adsorbed systems were also studied using the same level of theory. It was found that just by varying the donor, although of same nature, there is a marked effect on the efficiency parameters of the dye sensitized solar cells based on such dyes. Also, the dye molecules were found to be good sensitizers for TiO₂ semiconductors.     

Highly efficient multiphoton-absorbing quadrupolar oligomers for frequency upconversion

Two series of quadrupolar diphenylamino-endcapped oligofluorenes, PhN-OF(n)-NPh (n=2-5) and PhN-OF(n)-TAZ-OF(n)-NPh (n=1-4), which have an electron-withdrawing 1,2,4-triazole (TAZ) moiety as central core, with D-π-A-π-D structural motif (D=donor, A=acceptor), have been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling of 9,9-dibutyl-7-(diphenylamino)-2-fluorenylboronic acid and the corresponding (1,2,4-triazole-based) aryl halide as key step. On pumping with infrared femtosecond lasers, these oligomers showed very strong multiphoton-excited blue photoluminescence. These D-π-D and D-π-A-π-D quadrupolar oligofluorenes exhibit superior three-photon absorption properties compared to the respective D-π-A counterparts with a highest three-photon absorption cross-section (σ(3)) of up to 2.72×10(-77) cm(6) s(2) . Despite the comparable linear and multiphoton absorption properties of the two types of quadrupolar oligomers PhN-OF(n)-NPh and PhN-OF(n)-TAZ-OF(n)-NPh, only the former exhibit remarkably intense and highly efficient multiphoton-excited frequency-upconverted deep blue lasing, which gives rise to record high lasing efficiency of 0.097% and very narrow of full width at half-maximum of the lasing spectra. Our findings suggest that quadrupolar-type molecules/oligomers are superior for multiphoton excited frequency upconverted lasing to their dipolar counterparts and also provide important guidelines to design highly efficient three-photon absorption molecules for photoluminescence and lasing applications.

Vibrational and electronic spectra of 9,10-dihydrobenzo(a)pyren-7(8H)-one and 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrene: an experimental and computational study

The molecular geometries, vibrational and UV-vis spectra of 9,10-dihydrobenzo(a)pyrene-7(8H)-one (9,10-H(2)BaP) and 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrene (7,8,9,10-H(4)BaP) were investigated using density functional theory (DFT-B3LYP), with the triple-ζ 6-311+G(d,p) and Dunning's cc-pVTZ basis sets. From the comparison of infrared experimental and calculated infrared, and Raman data comprehensive assignments are made. The calculated infrared frequencies below 1800 cm(-1) are in good agreement with experimental data, with an average deviation of <4 cm(-1). Using the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//TD-B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory, transition energies, and oscillator strengths of the 30 lowest electronic absorption bands are assigned to π-π* transitions, with good qualitative agreement between experimental and simulated absorption data. In addition, the HOMO-LUMO gaps and their chemical hardness were analyzed.     

Electrochromism based on the charge transfer process in a ferrocene-BODIPY molecule

A new type of donor-acceptor molecule DiFc-B combined ferrocene and BODIPY unit has been synthesized, and the NMR spectra, photophysical property, and electrochemical property were studied. The in situ spectro-electrochemical experiment was carried out, a notable absorption change had been observed under oxidative potential, and a recovery could happen under reductive potential and this process could repeat for several times. Such a phenomenon also happened when oxidative metal ion was added into the solution of DiFc-B. In order to study the mechanism of the electrochromism, the theoretical calculation was performed, and the result shows a D (ferrocene)-π-A (BODIPY) system. The energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO had a good consistence with the electrochemical experiment and UV-vis data. The calculation of the frontier orbital belonging to the cation state of DiFc-B shows the directional change of the D-π-A system, which supplied a theoretical basis of the electrochromism.

氨基功能化石墨烯量子点表面缺陷钝化及其发光增强

通过酸氧化法将氧化石墨烯进一步“切割”制备石墨烯量子点（GQDs）,在100℃水热条件下,用氨水处理石墨烯量子点制备得到氨基功能化石墨烯量子点（N-GQDs）。傅里叶变换红外光谱证明NH₃可以有效地进攻环氧基碳和羧基碳,形成羟胺和酰胺基。原子力显微镜结果表明NH₃不仅能够有助于产生更小的量子点,还对石墨烯纳米片有致孔作用。氨基功能化之后,由于C-O-C相关的n-π^*跃迁受到抑制,N-GQDs发光具有更弱的激发波长依赖性,并使其荧光量子产率从0.3%提高至9.6%。时间分辨发光光谱表明,相比含氧基团,含氮基团相关的局域电子激发态具有更长的荧光寿命和更弱的发射光谱依赖性。     

Preparation and properties of a functional polyacetylene with quinoline-based heterocyclic azo pendants

A novel functional polyacetylene with D-π-A conjugated quinoline-based heterocyclic azo pendants was designed and prepared to improve the polyacetylene properties. Its structure and properties were characterized and evaluated in details. The incorporation of D-π-A conjugated quinoline-based heterocyclic azo pendants to the polyacetylene backbone increases the polymer solubility in polar solvents. Its UV-vis absorbance is sensitive to the presence of F^? anions and results in UV-VIS spectrum red-shift by ca. 21 nm from 449 nm to 470 nm in dry DMSO.
