Manipulation of Organic Afterglow by Thermodynamic and Kinetic Control

The fabrication of room-temperature organic phosphorescence and afterglow materials, as well as the transformation of their photophysical properties, has emerged as an important topic in the research field of luminescent materials. Here, we report the establishment of energy landscapes in dopant-matrix organic afterglow systems where the aggregation states of luminescent dopants can be controlled by doping concentrations in the matrices and the methods of preparing the materials. Through manipulation by thermodynamic and kinetic control, dopant-matrix afterglow materials with different aggregation states and diverse afterglow properties can be obtained. The conversion from metastable aggregation state to thermodynamic stable aggregation state of the dopant-matrix afterglow materials to leads to the emergence of intriguing afterglow transformation behavior triggered by thermal and solvent annealing. The thermodynamically unfavorable reversible afterglow transformation process can also be achieved by coupling the dopant-matrix afterglow system to mechanical forces.

Synthesis and Characterization of Side Group-Modified Tetradentate Cyclotriphosphazene Derivatives

Abstract

A series of novel side group-modified cyclotriphosphazene derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene [N₃P₃Cl₆] with 2,2′-diphenol and the potassium salt of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and subsequent reduction of aldehyde groups to alcohol groups by the use of sodium borohydride. The bromination reaction was carried out with PBr₃ to give N₃P₃(O₂C₁₂H₈) (p-BrCH₂-C₆H₄-O-)₄. This compound was employed in reactions with macrocyclic polyamides, imidazole, or morpholine to produce title compounds. The target compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, ¹³C NMR, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Preparation of polyaniline grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes and conductive application in polyetherimide

A methodology for improving antistatic property of polyetherimide (PEI) composite using polyaniline (PANI) grafted multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) as conductive medium was proposed. First, the MWNTs grafted with PANI (PANI‐g‐MWNTs) were prepared by in‐situ polymerization in an emulsion system. Subsequently, PANI‐g‐MWNTs were blended with PEI using N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone as solvent. After removing the solvent, the PEI/PANI‐g‐MWNT composite was prepared. As assisted conductive medium, the grafted PANI molecular chains on MWNT surface were dispersed in the PEI matrix to decrease the percolation value of the antistatic composites. The structure and morphology of PANI‐g‐MWNTs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, and X‐ray powder diffraction, respectively. The dispersion of PANI‐g‐MWNTs in PEI matrix was studied by scanning electron microscope. The electrical performance was characterized by highly resistant meter. The volume resistivity of the conductivity percolation threshold was 1.781 × 10^?8 S/cm when the loading of PANI‐g‐MWNTs was 1.0 wt%. The conductivity of PANI‐g‐MWNTs/PEI composites was found to be higher than that of pristine MWNTs/PEI composite. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

炔桥联不对称苯基取代双二茂铁衍生物的设计合成和电化学性质

以四苯基环戊二烯酮为起始原料,经过八步连续反应,成功地合成了3个炔桥联不对称五苯基取代双二茂铁衍生物Fc''-C≡C-Fc（1）、Fc''-C≡C-C≡C-Fc（2）和Fc''-C≡C-C≡C-Fc''（3）（Fc''=五苯基二茂铁基,Fc=二茂铁基）。在设计合成双二茂铁衍生物的过程中,首先经过4步反应,制备出已知化合物Fc''-H（4）,再连续进行3步反应,分别得到3个中间化合物Fc''-COCH₃（5）,Fc''-CCl=CHCHO（6）和Fc''-C≡CH（7）,最后利用偶联反应,得到目标化合物1~3。利用X射线单晶衍射和循环伏安法,测定了化合物1、2和5、7的晶体结构,研究了化合物1~7的电化学性质。研究结果表明,分子的C-H…π键相互作用和空间位阻是导致化合物1和2分子中Fc''和Fc基空间排布取向不同的主要原因。当二茂铁的一个环戊二烯环上引入5个苯取代基时,铁中心的氧化还原电位将升高（E_p^a（Fc''-H）=0.658 V,E_p^a（Fc-H）=0.511 V）。与已知化合物Fc-C≡C-Fc（ΔE=0.215 V）和Fc-C≡C-C≡C-Fc（ΔE=0.134 V）相比,化合物1~3的氧化电位差值（ΔE）均有不同程度地提高（ΔE₁=0.236 V;ΔE₂=0.170 V;ΔE₃=0.146 V）。将1与Fc-C≡C-Fc,2与Fc-C≡C-C≡C-Fc和3进行比较发现,当炔桥两端连接不同的基团Fc''和Fc时,其氧化电位差值（ΔE）将明显提高。
