The Effect of Viscosity on the Diffusion and Termination Reaction of Organic Radical Pairs

The effect of viscosity on the diffusion efficiency (F_dif) of an organic radical pair in a solvent cage and the termination mechanism, that is, the selectivity of disproportionation (Disp) and combination (Comb) of the geminated caged radical pair and the diffused radicals encountered, were investigated quantitatively by following the photolysis of dimethyl 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionate) (V-601) in the absence and presence of PhSD. F_dif and Disp/Comb selectivity outside the cage [Disp_(dif)/Comb_(dif)] are highly sensitive to the viscosity. In contrast, the Disp/Comb selectivity inside the cage [Disp_(cage)/Comb_(cage)] is rather insensitive. The difference in viscosity dependence between Disp_(cage)/Comb_(cage) and Disp_(dif)/Comb_(dif) is explained by the spin state of the radical pair inside and outside the cage and the spin state dependent configurational changes of the radical pair upon their collision. Given that the configurational change of the radicals associates the displacement and reorganization of solvents around the radicals, the termination outside the cage, which requires larger change than that inside the cage, is highly viscosity dependent. Furthermore, while the bulk viscosity of each solvent shows good correlation with F_dif and Disp/Comb selectivity, microviscosity is the better parameter predicting F_dif and Disp_(dif)/Comb_(dif) selectivity regardless of the solvents.

Spectroscopic and Electrochemical Evaluation of Salt Effects on Electron‐Transfer Equilibria between Donor/Acceptor and Ion‐Radical Pairs in Organic Solvents

Addition of “inert” tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (Bu₄NPF₆) to a solution of TMDO/DDQ in dichloromethane (where TMDO= 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylbenzo[1,2‐d;4,5‐d]bis[1,3]‐dioxole, donor, and DDQ= diclorodicyano‐p‐benzoquinone, acceptor) is accompanied by drastic changes in the electronic spectrum, which are related to the appearance of the DDQ ^{? .} and TMDO ^+. ion radicals and a decrease in the concentration of the neutral molecules and the charge‐transfer complex [ TMDO,DDQ ]. These changes point to a considerable rise (of about three orders of magnitude) in the apparent electron‐transfer equilibrium constant (K_ET) for this donor/acceptor pair upon increasing the electrolyte concentration from 0 to 0.5 M . Accordingly, the ion‐radical fractions and K_ET values are higher in dichloromethane, at high electrolyte concentrations, than in acetonitrile (where the effect of Bu₄NPF₆ is less pronounced). Similar trends of the apparent equilibrium constants are observed for the tetramethyl‐p‐phenylenediamine/tetracyanoethylene pair. Electron‐transfer equilibrium constants for both donor/acceptor dyads obtained from spectral measurements are related to those derived from the redox potentials of the reactants. The effects of media variations on the electron‐transfer equilibria are discussed within the ion‐pairing and ionic‐activity frameworks.     

Quantum Chemical Study on the Reaction Mechanism of OBrO Radical with OH Radical

The reaction mechanism of OBrO with OH has been studied using the B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) and the high-level electron-correlation CCSD(T)/6-311 G(d,p) at single-point. The results show that the title reaction could probably proceed by four possible schemes, generating HOBr O2, HBr O3, BrO HO2 and HOBrO2 products, respectively. The main channel is the one to yield HOBr O2. The whole reaction involves the formation of three-membered, four-membered and five-membered rings, followed by the complicated processes of association,H-shift, Br-shift and dissociation. All routes are exothermic.     

Effect of Nitrate Ions on the Chain Photochemical Reaction of Sulfo Group Substitution for Bromine in 1-Bromo-2-Hydroxynaphthalene upon Sensitized and Direct Photolysis

The influence of nitrate ion admixtures on the proceeding of the radical-ion chain reaction of sulfo group substitution for halogen in halogenated hydroxynaphthalenes in an aqueous sodium sulfite solution was studied upon both direct and tris(2,2-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)-sensitized photolysis. It was found that nitrate ions increase the quantum yields of the photosensitized substitution reaction and decrease the quantum yields of the reaction in the direct photolysis. Based on an analysis of kinetic schemes of the reaction, it was shown that nitrate ions affect the photoinitiation step in sensitized photolysis or the termination step in the direct photolysis.

Theoretical Studies on the Reaction Mechanism of 1-Chloroethane with Hydroxyl Radical

The reaction mechanism of 1-chloroethane with hydroxyl radical has been inves- tigated by using density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) method. All bond dissociation enthalpies were computed at the same theoretical level. It was found that hydrogen abstraction pathway is the most favorable. There are two hydrogen abstraction pathways with activation barriers of 0.630 and 4.988 kJ/mol, respectively, while chlorine abstraction pathway was not found. It was observed that activation energies have a more reasonable correlation with the reaction enthalpy changes (△Hr) than with bond dissociation enthalpies (BDE).     

Theoretical Studies on the Reaction Mechanism of Hydroxyl Radical with 1,1,1-Trichloroethane

Ab initio and density functional theory calculations have been carried out to investigate the reaction of hydroxyl radical (OH) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (CH3CCl3). The potential energy surface has been given according to the relative energies calculated at the MP2/cc-pVTZ level after the spin projection (PMP2). Five reaction channels were identified and the intramolecular hydrogen bonding was observed in some transition state structures. The barrier heights and reaction enthalpies calculated for all possible channels show that the hydrogen abstraction channel is predominant kinetically and thermodynamically. The contribution from other channels was predicted to be minor.     

不同掺杂浓度Tm3+：LiLuF4单晶的1800 nm荧光发射

采用坩埚下降法生长了Tm3+掺杂浓度为0.45%,0.90%,1.63%与3.25%(摩尔分数,x)的LiLuF4单晶.测试了样品的电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱(ICP-AES)、X射线衍射(XRD)谱、吸收光谱(1400-2000 nm),并且分析比较了808 nm半导体激光器(LD)激发下荧光光谱.结果表明:当Tm3+的浓度从0.45%变化到3.25%时,1800 nm处的荧光强度呈现了先增后减的趋势,当掺杂浓度约为0.90%时达到最大值,而位于1470 nm处的荧光强度则呈现了相反的趋势.Tm3+:3F4能级的荧光衰减寿命随着掺杂浓度的增加不断减小.1800 nm处的这种荧光强度变化归结于Tm3+离子间的交叉驰豫效应(3H6,3H4→3F4,3F4)和自身的浓度猝灭效应.同时计算得到了浓度为0.90%的样品在1890 nm处的最大发射截面为0.392×10-20cm2.并且根据Judd-Ofelt理论所得寿命和测定的荧光寿命计算得到了3F4→3H6的最大量子效率约为120%.

Effect of a Pendant Acceptor on Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Properties of Conjugated Polymers with Backbone‐Donor/Pendant‐Acceptor Architecture

Three sets of conjugated polymers with backbone‐donor/pendant‐acceptor architectures, named PCzA3PyB, PCzAB2Py, and PCzAB3Py, are designed and synthesized. The three isomeric benzoylpyridine‐based pendant acceptor groups are 6‐benzoylpyridin‐3‐yl (3PyB), 4‐((pyridin‐2‐yl)carbonyl)phenyl (B2Py) and 4‐((pyridin‐3‐yl)carbonyl)phenyl (B3Py), whereas the identical backbone consists of 3,6‐carbazolyl and 2,7‐acridinyl rings. One acridine ring and each acceptor group constitute a definite thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) unit, incorporated into the main chain of the polymers through the 2,7‐position of the acridine ring with the varied content. All of the polymers display legible TADF features with a short microsecond‐scale delayed lifetime (0.56–1.62 μs) and a small singlet/triplet energy gap (0.10–0.19 eV). Progressively redshifted emissions are observed in the order PCzAB3Py, PCzA3PyB, and PCzAB2Py owing to the different substitution patterns of the pyridyl group. Photoluminescence quantum yields can be improved by regulating the molar content of the TADF unit in the range 0.5–50 %. The non‐doped organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs) fabricated by solution‐processing technology emit yellow‐green to orange light. The polymers with 5 mol % of the TADF unit exhibit excellent comprehensive electroluminescence performance, in which PCzAB2Py5 achieves a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 11.9 %, low turn‐on voltage of 3.0 V, yellow emission with a wavelength of 573 nm and slow roll‐off with EQE of 11.6 % at a luminance of 1000 cd m^?2 and driving voltage of 5.5 V.     

Self‐Assembled Architectures with Segregated Donor and Acceptor Units of a Dyad Based on a Monopyrrolo‐Annulated TTF–PTM Radical

An electron donor–acceptor dyad based on a polychlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical subunit linked to a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) unit through a π‐conjugated N‐phenyl–pyrrole–vinylene bridge has been synthesized and characterized. The intramolecular electron transfer process and magnetic properties of the radical dyad have been evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, UV/Vis spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, and ESR spectroscopy in solution and in the solid state. The self‐assembling abilities of the radical dyad and of its protonated non‐radical analogue have been investigated by X‐ray crystallographic analysis, which revealed that the radical dyad produced a supramolecular architecture with segregated donor and acceptor units in which the TTF subunits were arranged in 1D herringbone‐type stacks. Analysis of the X‐ray data at different temperatures suggests that the two inequivalent molecules that form the asymmetric unit of the crystal of the radical dyad evolve into an opposite degree of electronic delocalization as the temperature decreases.
