研究了聚苯胺(PAn)膜电极在2,5-二巯基-1,3,4-噻二唑(DMcT)溶液中电化学处理或浸泡后的循环伏安(CV)曲线的变化规律.实验结果表明,PAn膜电极在DMcT溶液中进行电化学处理或浸泡过程可使DMcT进入PAn膜内部与PAn形成复合物.PAn对DMcT的电化学催化作用可能和二者之间形成的电子给体-受体复合物有关.该复合物的电化学氧化还原特性不同于PAn和DMcT,其氧化还原反应速率和可逆性均优于DMcT.

Bottom-contact poly(3,3'-didodecylquaterthiophene) thin-film transistors with gold source-drain electrodes modified by alkanethiol monolayers

A series of alkanethiol monolayers (CH 3(CH 2) n-1 SH, n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) were used to modify gold source-drain electrode surfaces for bottom-contact poly(3,3'-didodecylquaterthiophene) (PQT-12) thin-film transistors (TFTs). The device mobilities of TFTs were significantly increased from approximately 0.015 cm (2) V (-1) s (-1) for bare electrode TFTs to a maximum of approximately 0.1 cm (2) V (-1) s (-1) for the n = 8 monolayer devices. The mobilities of devices with alkanethiol-modified Au electrodes varied parabolically with alkyl length with values of 0.06, 0.1, and 0.04 cm (2) V (-1) s (-1) at n = 4, 8, and 16, respectively. Atomic force microscopy investigations reveal that alkanethiol electrode surface modifications promote polycrystalline PQT-12 morphologies at electrode/PQT-12 contacts, which probably increase the density of states of the PQT-12 semiconductor at the interfaces. The contact resistance of TFTs is strongly modulated by the surface modification and strongly varies with the alkanethiol chain length. The surface modifications of electrodes appear to significantly improve the charge injection, with consequent substantial improvement in device performance.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Chloro‐Bridged Coordination Polymers [Cd(BIM)Cl2]n and [Pb(BIM)Cl2]n

Two novel coordination polymers, [Cd(BIM)Cl₂]_n ( 1 ) and [Pb(BIM)Cl₂]_n ( 2 ) [wherein BIM = bis(imidazol‐1‐yl)methane], were synthesized by the reactions of the BIM ligand with CdCl₂ and PbCl₂, respectively. They were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, TGA and X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction techniques. Single‐crystal X‐ray structure analyses showed there is a pseudooctahedral arrangement around the cadmium atom in the complex 1 . It has a three‐dimensional network which contains one‐dimensional inorganic‐organic hybrid chains and μ₂‐bridging chloride ligands. A rare pentacoordinate square‐pyramidal arrangement was adopted for the lead(II) atom in the complex 2 , which has an unusual two‐dimensional layer structure of macrometallacycles crosslinked with the bridging Pb₂Cl₂ units. The metal atoms in both complexes were coordinated with two BIM ligands in cis arrangement and bridged by μ₂‐bridging chloride ligands.

Three inorganic‐organic hybrid frameworks [Mn(HIMDC)(4,4′‐bipyo)_0.5(H₂O)]_n (1) , [Cd(H₂IMDC)₂(2,2′‐bipyo)] (2) and [Ca(HIMDC)(H₂O)₂·H₂O]_n (3) (H₃IMDC = 4,5‐imidazoledicarboxylate; 4,4′‐bipyo = 4,4′‐bipyridine‐N,N′‐dioxide; 2,2′‐bipyo= 2,2′‐bipyridine‐N,N′‐dioxide) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses, IR spectra, TG analysis and the single crystal diffraction. Both compounds 1 and 3 exhibit 2D layers while 2 is a monomer. It is noteworthy that compound 2 exhibits strong fluorescent emission in the solid state at room temperature.     

Molecular Nickel Thiolate Complexes for Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 to C1–3 Hydrocarbons

We report the unprecedented electrocatalytic activity of a series of molecular nickel thiolate complexes ( 1 – 5 ) in reducing CO₂ to C_1–3 hydrocarbons on carbon paper in pH-neutral aqueous solutions. Ni(mpo)₂ ( 3 , mpo=2-mercaptopyridyl-N-oxide), Ni(pyS)₃⁻ ( 4 , pyS=2-mercaptopyridine), and Ni(mp)₂⁻ ( 5 , mp=2-mercaptophenolate) were found to generate C₃ products from CO₂ for the first time in molecular complex. Compound 5 exhibits Faradaic efficiencies (FEs) of 10.6 %, 7.2 %, 8.2 % for C₁, C₂, C₃ hydrocarbons respectively at −1.0 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. Addition of CO to the system significantly promotes the FE_C1–C3 to 41.1 %, suggesting that a key Ni−CO intermediate is associated with catalysis. A variety of spectroscopies have been performed to show that the structures of nickel complexes remain intact during CO₂ reduction.     

Composite Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles with Dual-color Afterglow for Cross-correlation-based Living Cell Imaging

Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials are characterized with emission after removing the excitation source. Such long-lived emission feature possesses great potential in biological fluorescence imaging because it enables a way regarding temporal dimension for separating the interference of autofluorescence and common noises typically encountered in conventional fluorescence imaging. Herein, we constructed a new type of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs)-based composite nanoparticles (NPs) with dual-color long-lived emission, namely millisecond-level green phosphorescence and sub-millisecond-level delayed red fluorescence by encapsulating a typical RTP dye and Rhodamine dye in the cavities of the MSNs with the former acting as energy donor (D) while the latter as acceptor (A). Benefiting from the close D-A proximity, energy match between the donor and the acceptor and the optimized D/A ratio in the composite NPs, efficient triplet-to-singlet Förster resonance energy transfer (TS-FRET) in the NPs occurred upon exciting the donor, which enabled dual-color long-lived emission. The preliminary results of dual-color correlation imaging of live cells based on such emission feature unequivocally verified the unique ability of such NPs for distinguishing the false positive generated by common emitters with single-color emission feature.
