Two-photon absorption of photochromic diarylethene and its application to rewritable holographic recording

A new photochromic diarylethene (1a) has been prepared. Both its photochromic behavior and nonlinear optical properties are investigated. 1a shows excellent ring-opening (λ_max = 386 nm) and ring-closing (λ_max = 652 nm) photoisomerization with UV-Vis light irradiation. With 800 nm femtosecond pulsed laser irradiation, 1a shows two-photon-induced photoisomerization, and a two-photon absorption cross-section (σ = 423×10⁵⁰ cm⁴·s per photon) is obtained by using two-photon induced fluorescence method. The applications of two-photon absorption of 1a to holographic recording has been also investigated. A two-photon induced micro-pattern is recorded on the diarylethene 1a-PMMA film with an femtosecond laser of 800 nm, 100 fs, 1 kHz, 50 mW.     

Polarization holographic optical recording based on a new photochromic diarylethene compound

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene, namely1-[2-methyl-5-(p-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-3-thienyl]-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-methoxylphenyl)-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene (1a), was synthesized. The compound showed good photochromism, high sensitivity and remarkable fatigue-resistance both in solution and in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix with UV/Vis light irradiation. The absorption maximum of its closed-ring isomer was observed at 624 nm in PMMA amorphous film. It is a nice match for the wavelength of the recording laser (633 nm). Using this target compound as recording medium, four types of polarization holographic optical recordings were performed successfully using a He-Ne laser. The results showed that only the orthogonal circular polarization recording could obtain a hologram with high diffraction efficiency and high signal-to noise-ratio. With multiplexing recording technology, three types of polarization multiplexing holographic optical recordings, including angular multiplexing, polarization multiplexing, and angular plus polarization multiplexing holographic recording, were also carried out perfectly based on its photoinduced anisotropic phenomenon accompanying the photochromic reaction by photoirradiation. The results demonstrate that the multiplexing recording technology is an effective method to improve recording capacity when using diarylethene 1 as recording medium.     

Synthesis,characterization, and crystallization of thermoplastic aromatic semi‐crystalline poly(ester‐imide)s based on bis(trimellitic acid anhydride) phenyl ester

A high molecular weight aromatic homopoly(ester‐imide) (homoPEI) was synthesized from homopoly(ester‐amic acids) (homoPEAA), which was obtained from the reaction of bis(trimellitic acid anhydride) phenyl ester (BTAH) with 4‐4'‐oxydianiline ether (ODA). This homoPEI was melt‐processable semi‐crystalline polymer and displayed dual endothermic transitions which were attributed to the different levels of crystal perfection and size in the crystal structures. Four high molecular weight aromatic copoly(ester‐imide)s (coPEIs) were synthesized via copoly(ester‐amic acids)s (coPEAA) from the reaction of 4, 4'‐oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and BTAH with ODA. The molar percentage of BTAH varied from 10 to 40%. When the molar percentages of BTAH were 30 and 40%, the resulting two coPEIs were crystallinable and their melting temperatures were 361°C and 356/371°C, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) results indicated that the crystal structures included short segments of BTAH/ODA and ODPA/ODA. The initial crystallization of the two coPEIs took place during imidization process. Thermogravimetric (TA) and mechanical analysis confirmed that both homoPEI and coPEIs showed almost no weight loss until 400°C in N₂ and good mechanical properties.

Synthesis of perylene-bridged bis(dibenzo-24-crown-8) and its assembly behavior with a fullerene-based secondary dibenzylammonium salt

This paper reports the synthesis of a perylene-bridged bis(crown ether) through the condensation reaction between primary amine-armed dibenzo-24-crown-8 and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride. Pseudorotaxane with a perylene moiety at the wheel and a fullerene unit in the middle of the axle was prepared, which was evidenced by ¹H NMR and fluorescence experiments. Subsequent investigations show that the formation and disassociation of the pseudorotaxane can be controlled by the alternating addition of KPF₆ and 18-crown-6, following the change of the florescence intensity of perylene.

     

Synthesis and Rearrangement of Stable NHC→Silylene Adducts and Their Unique Reactivity towards Cyclohexylisocyanide

The syntheses and reactivity of the two N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)→ silylene complexes 2 and 4 have been investigated. The latter are easily accessible by reaction of the zwitterionic, N‐heterocyclic silylene LSi: 1 [L=Ar‐N‐C(=CH₂)CH?C(Me)‐N‐Ar, Ar=2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃] with 1,3,4,5‐tetramethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene and 1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene, respectively. While compound 2 undergoes facile rearrangement above ?20 °C to give the unsymmetrical N‐heterocyclic silylcarbene 3 , the derivative 4 remains unchanged even after boiling in benzene. The remarkable reactivity of 3 and 4 towards cyclohexylisocyanide has been examined which leads in a unique series of C? H, Si? H, and C? N bond activations to the new triaminosilanes 5 and 6 , respectively. The novel compounds 3 , 4 , 5 , and 6 were fully characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy, EI‐MS, elemental analysis, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Palladium nanoclusters entrapped in polyurea: A recyclable and efficient catalyst for reduction of nitro-benzenes and hydrodechlorination of halogeno-benzenes

Polyurea-entrapped palladium nanoclusters have been prepared by interfacial polymerization in W/O emulsion and showed high thermal stability and chemical stability with the content of 0.12 mmol g^?1 Pd. This catalyst exhibited dual catalytic activity for reduction of nitro compounds and hydrodehalogenation of aromatic chlorides in atmospheric hydrogen with 100% yield for reduction of nitro compounds and >99% yield for hydrodehalogenation of aromatic chlorides. This immobilizing method was particularly effective and eliminated the need of special chelating groups.
