Copolymers Containing 1-Methyl-2-phenyl-imidazole Moieties as Permanent Dipole Generating Units: Synthesis,Spectroscopic, Electrochemical,and Photovoltaic Properties

New donor–acceptor conjugated alternating or random copolymers containing 1-methyl-2-phenylbenzimidazole and benzothiadiazole (P1), diketopyrrolopyrrole (P4), or both acceptors (P2) are reported. The specific feature of these copolymers is the presence of a permanent dipole-bearing moiety (1-methyl-2-phenyl imidazole (MPI)) fused with the 1,4-phenylene ring of the polymer main chain. For comparative reasons, polymers of the same main chain but deprived of the MPI group were prepared, namely, P5 with diketopyrrolopyrrole and P3 with both acceptors. The presence of the permanent dipole results in an increase of the optical band gap from 1.51 eV in P3 to 1.57 eV in P2 and from 1.49 eV in P5 to 1.55 eV in P4. It also has a measurable effect on the ionization potential (IP) and electrochemical band gap (E_g^CV), leading to their decrease from 5.00 and 1.83 eV in P3 to 4.92 and 1.79 eV in P2 as well as from 5.09 and 1.87 eV in P5 to 4.94 and 1.81 eV in P4. Moreover, the presence of permanent dipole lowers the exciton binding energy (E_b) from 0.32 eV in P3 to 0.22 eV in P2 and from 0.38 eV in P5 to 0.26 eV in P4. These dipole-induced changes in the polymer properties should be beneficial for photovoltaic applications. Bulk heterojunction solar cells fabricated from these polymers (with PC₇₁BM acceptor) show low series resistance (r_s), indicating good electrical transport properties. The measured power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.54% is limited by the unfavorable morphology of the active layer.

Alternativ-Liganden. XXVI [1]. M(CO)4L-Komplexe (M  Cr,Mo, W) der Chelatliganden Me2ESiMe2(CH2)2E′Me2 (Me  CH3; E  P,As; E′  N,P, As)

Alternative Ligands. XXVI. M(CO)₄ L-Complexes (M ? Cr, Mo, W) of the Chelating Ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′ Me₂ (Me ? CH₃; E ? P, As; E′ ? N, P, As) The reaction of M(CO)₄NBD (NBD = norbornadiene; M ? Cr, Mo, W) with the ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′ Me₂ yields the chelate complexes (CO)₄M[Me₂ESiMe₂]) for E,E′ ? P, As, but not for E and /or E′ ? N. The NSi group is not suited for coordination because of strong (p-d)π-interaction. In the case of the ligands with E ? P or As and E′ ? N chelate complexes can be detected in the reaction mixture, but isolable products are complexes with two ligands coordinated via the E donor group. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, NMR, MS) investigations. The spectroscopic data are also used to deduce the coordinating properties of the ligands. X-ray diffraction studies of the molybdenum complexes (CO)₄Mo[Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂AsMe ₂] (E ? P, As) in accord with the observed coordination effects show only small differences between SiE and CE donor functions. Attempts to use the ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂AsMe₂ (E ? P, As) for the preparation of Fe(CO)₃L complexes result in the fission of the SiE bonds and the formation of the binuclear systems Fe₂(CO)₆(EMe₂)₂ (E ? P, As) together with the disilane derivative [Me₂Si(CH₂)₂AsMe₂]₂.     

Crystal structure and magnetism of the FexNi8-xSi3 materials, 0 ≤ x ≤ 8

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the materials Fe_xNi_8-xSi₃ with 0 ≤ x ≤ 8 have been investigated to estimate any possible magnetocaloric effect and compare it to that in known magnetocalorics. Two structural ranges could be identified in this system by X-ray and neutron diffraction. The structure of the samples with 0 ≤ x ≤ 4 is related to the trigonal structure of Ni₃₁Si₁₂. Doubled c lattice parameters compared to the one in Ni₃₁Si₁₂ are observed in the samples with x = 2 and x = 3. The average structure of Fe₂Ni₆Si₃ has been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The compounds with the compositions 5 ≤ x ≤ 8 crystallize in cubic Fe₃Si-type structure. Magnetic measurements have shown that the compound Fe₃Ni₅Si₃ displays a phase transition close to room temperature. However, its magnetocaloric effect is much smaller than the one in the promising magnetocaloric materials.
