Organophosphorus Compounds in Organic Electronics

This Minireview describes recent advances of organophosphorus compounds as opto‐electronic materials in the field of organic electronics. The progress of (hetero‐) phospholes, unsaturated phosphanes, and trivalent and pentavalent phosphanes since 2010 is covered. The described applications of organophosphorus materials range from single molecule sensors, field effect transistors, organic light emitting diodes, to polymeric materials for organic photovoltaic applications.

Silica supported perchloric acid catalyzed rapid N-formylation under solvent-free conditions

A rapid and chemoselective method for the N-formylation of structurally diverse amines with formic acid using silica supported perchloric acid (HClO₄–SiO₂) at room temperature and under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The catalyst was found to be compatible with different functional groups and the formylation proceeded smoothly with amines bearing electron withdrawing as well as electron donating substituents.     

A comparative study of structural, thermal and electrical properties of undoped and doped with dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid polypyrrole

Polypyrrole was synthesized and doped with dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid; the latter was confirmed by means of FTIR spectroscopy. The percentage of crystallinity of synthesized polymers was estimated from X-rays diffraction studies. The formation of flaky structure in doped polypyrrole was observed by means of SEM. DC conductivity was found to be influenced by dopant dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid. Temperature dependant DC shows three dimensional variable ranges hopping (3D VRH). Activation energy, density of states and hopping length were calculated and found to be influenced by adding dopant to polypyrrole. The doped polypyrrole was found to be more thermally stable as compared to that of pristine polypyrrole.
