Synthesis and characterization of 4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4b][1,4]azaphosphinines

1,3,3‐Trimethyl‐2‐(1‐R‐3‐methyl‐5‐pyrazolyliminoethylidene)indolines were shown to undergo phosphorylation with phosphorus(III) halides at the two nucleophilic carbon centers to give fused 1,4‐azaphosphinine ring systems. Chemical properties of the synthesized compounds were characterized. For some representative compounds, detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations were performed, including the determination of ³¹P, ¹H and ³¹P, ¹³C coupling constants. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Current-voltage characteristics of thin poly(biphenyl-4-ylphthalide) films

The paper considers the features of the charge transport near to the threshold of the transition of polymer films to the high conductive state, induced by a small uniaxial pressure. The problem has not been solved so far, how the energy structure of a wide-band-gap organic dielectric varies near this threshold. The current-voltage characteristics of poly(biphenyl-4-ylphthalide) films at different uniaxial pressures were measured and analyzed. The interpretation of the obtained results is carried out within the framework of the space charge limited conduction model. The estimation of the injection model of transport parameters such as the charge carrier mobility and concentration, trapping state concentration and others are carried out. The analysis of the obtained results allows to make the following preliminary conclusion. Pressure increase promotes formation of a narrow trap band near the quasi-Fermi level resulting from the increase in the injection. This can give rise to a sharp magnification of the charge carrier mobility and even transition to the metallic state.
