An Efficient Direct Arylation Polycondensation via C−S Bond Cleavage

The direct arylation polycondensation (DArP) has become one of the most important methods to construct conjugated polymers (CPs). However, the homocoupling side-reactions of aryl halides and the low regioseletive reactivities of unfunctionalized aryls hinder the development of DArP. Here, an efficient Pd and Cu co-catalyzed DArP was developed via inert C−S bond cleavage of aryl thioethers, of which robustness was exemplified by over twenty conjugated polymers (CPs), including copolymers, homopolymers, and random polymers. The capture of oxidative addition intermediate together with experimental and theoretic results suggested the important role of palladium (Pd) and copper (Cu) co-catalysis with a bicyclic mechanism. The studies of NMR, molecular weights, trap densities, two-dimensional grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (2D-GIWAXS), and the charge transport mobilities revealed that the homocoupling reactions were significantly suppressed with high regioselectivity of unfunctionalized aryls, suggesting this method is an excellent choice for synthesizing high performance CPs.     

紫外光谱法同时测定水中苯酚、邻苯二酚和间苯二酚

苯酚、邻苯二酚和间苯二酚的紫外光谱重叠严重,难以对它们进行单个分析,因此采用紫外光谱法测定水中苯酚、邻苯二酚和间苯二酚的吸光度,并以蚂蚁算法(ACA)处理测定后的数据,得到苯酚、邻苯二酚和间苯二酚的含量.苯酚、邻苯二酚、间苯二酚的回收率分别在98.33%～101.11%、96.25%～100.56%,98.13%～102.86%之间.

Unique Twisted Ribbons Generated by Self‐Assembly of Oligo(p‐phenylene ethylene) Bearing Dimeric Bile Acid Pendant Groups

Let's twist again! Remarkable broad and twisted ribbons were generated from the self‐assembly of oligo(p‐ phenylene ethylene) (OPE) bearing dimeric deoxycholic acid pendant groups (see graphic). Varying the bile acid led to nanostructures with drastically different morphologies. The distinctive aggregate shapes of these steroid–OPE conjugates are attributed to the subtle differences in their molecular structures.

The electrochemical reduction mechanism of trivalent chromium in the presence of formic acid

The electrochemical reduction process of trivalent Cr in the presence of formic acid is studied. The compositions of Cr complexes in electrolytes and products on cathode are investigated using ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy (UV–Vis) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The geometric structures of the original and transition state ions during the electroreduction process are optimized, using density functional theory with General Gradient Approximation/Perdew-Wang 91 (GGA/PW91) calculation. The trivalent Cr primarily exists in the form of [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺ in the solution. [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺ exhibits regular-octahedron structure which is unfavorable for center Cr³⁺ to contact cathodic electrons. In the presence of formic acid, formate ion promotes the formation of the reactive intermediate, [Cr(H₂O)₄CHOO]²⁺, which possesses irregular-octahedron structure with Cr³⁺ ion as a vertex. In this case, Cr³⁺ ion can contact the cathode and then obtain electrons easily.     

Patterned Growth of Vertically Aligned Polypyrrole Nanowire Arrays

A facile strategy for preparing vertically aligned polypyrrole (PPy) nanoarrays with precisely controlled density and quantity is presented. The method involves two steps: (1) the fabrication of the patterned substrate via electron beam lithography and (2) the controlled growth of PPy nanowires via electrochemical polymerization on the patterned substrate. The electrical property of a single PPy nanowire is investigated via in situ conducting probe atomic force microscopy.
