Photovoltaic Processes of Singlet and Triplet Excited States in Organic Solar Cells

This article reports the respective photovoltaic processes of singlet and triplet photoexcited states in dissociation and charge reactions based on the studies of magnetic‐field effects of photocurrents. The magnetic‐field effects of photocurrents reveal that weak donor‐acceptor interactions lead to a two‐step photovoltaic process: dissociation in polaron‐pair states evolved from singlet excitonic states and exciton‐charge reactions occurred in triplet excitonic states in the generation of the photocurrent. However, strong donor‐acceptor interactions yield a one‐step photovoltaic process: direct dissociation of both singlet and triplet excitons in bulk‐heterojunction organic solar cells. In addition, the magnetic‐field effects of photocurrents indicate that the dissociated electrons and holes form charge‐transfer complexes with singlet and triplet spin configurations at donor‐acceptor intermolecular interfaces. As a result, the magnetic‐field effects of photocurrents can deliver a critical understanding of singlet and triplet photovoltaic processes to design advanced solar‐energy materials and devices.     

Self‐assembly of H‐bonded side‐chain and cross‐linking copolymers containing diblock‐copolymeric donors and single/double H‐bonded light‐emitting acceptors

A series of diblock‐copolymers were synthesized through anionic polymerization of styrene and tert‐butyl methacrylate (tBuA) with different monomer ratios, and analogous block‐copolymeric derivatives (PS‐b‐PAA)s with monofunctional carboxylic acid groups were obtained by further hydrolyzation as hydrogen‐bonded (H‐bonded) proton donors. Via H‐bonded interaction, these diblock‐coplymeric donors (PS‐b‐PAA)s were incorporated with luminescent mono‐pyridyl/bis‐pyridyl acceptors to form single/double H‐bonded supramolecules, that is, H‐bonded side‐chain/cross‐linking copolymers, respectively. The supramolecular architectures formed by donor polymers and light‐emitting acceptors were influenced by the ratio of acid blocks in the diblock copolymeric donors and the type of single/double H‐bonded light‐emitting acceptors. Their thermal and luminescent properties can be adjusted by H‐bonds, and more than 100 nm of red‐shifted photoluminescence (PL) emissions were observed, which depend on the degrees of the H‐bonding interactions. Self‐assembled phenomena of amphiphilic dibolck copolymers and their H‐bonded complexes were confirmed by TEM micrographs, and supramolecular microphase separation of spherical micelle‐like morphology was demonstrated to affect the photophysical properties. Polymer light‐emitting diode (PLED) devices containing H‐bonded complexes showed electroluminescence (EL) emissions of 503–560 nm under turn‐on voltages of 7.5–9.0 V, maximum power efficiencies of 0.23–0.37 cd/A (at 100 mA/cm²), and maximum luminances of 318–519 cd/m² (around 25 V). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A dual chemosensor for Cu2+ and Fe3+ based on π-extend tetrathiafulvalene derivative

A new dual chemosensor (TTF-PBA) for Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ in different signal pathways was designed and synthesized. The absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and cyclic voltammograms changed in the presence of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺. The optical color changed within 5 s from yellow to orange upon the addition of Cu²⁺, and it changed to dark yellow when Fe³⁺ existed. The cyclic voltammogram of Cu²⁺/TTF-PBA changed from E_ox = 0.50 V, E_red = 0.32 V to E_ox = 0.64 V, E_red = 0.80 V (vs Ag/AgCl) upon the addition of 2.0 equiv. Cu²⁺. As for Fe³⁺/TTF-PBA, its oxidation wave disappeared, and its reduction wave appeared at E_red = ?0.59 V (vs Ag/AgCl) upon the addition of 4.0 equv. Fe³⁺. The sensor displayed high selectivity for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ over other ions including Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Ag⁺, Cr³⁺, Mn²⁺, Al³⁺, Co²⁺, Pd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Fe^2+, Cd²⁺, Ce³⁺, Bi³⁺ and Au³⁺, the detection limits for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ion reached as low as 5.33 × 10^?7 mol/L and 5.34 × 10^?7 mol/L, respectively. Furthermore, when Fe³⁺ existed, Cu²⁺ can be detected sequentially by the sensor through the absorption spectrum and the color change observed by naked-eyes.     

An isothermal strand displacement amplification strategy for nucleic acids using junction forming probes and colorimetric detection

The authors describe a method for DNA target recognition and signal amplification that is based on the target-induced formation of a three way junction. The subsequent assembly of two DNA probes releases the inhibitory strand and triggers a downstream strand displacement amplification. This causes the formation of a G-rich single sequence that binds to a hemin monomer with its peroxidase-mimicking properties. The resulting peroxidase (POx) activity is quantified by using H₂O₂ and TMB as the substrate. In the presence of an inhibitor, in contrast, the POx-like activity is strongly reduced. This forms the basis for a highly sensitive DNA assay. It has a 0.8 pM detection limit when operated at a wavelength of 450 nm and was applied to the isothermal determination of target DNA with high selectivity.

A cationic water-soluble pillar[7]arene: Synthesis and its fluorescent host−guest complex in water

The first cationic water-soluble pillar[7]arene CWP7 was prepared. ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and MALDI-TOF-MS were performed to provide converging evidences of the structure of obtained CWP7. Host–guest complexation between this novel pillar[7]arene-based host and sodium pyren-1-olate guest G was fully investigated in aqueous solution. Increased fluorescence intensity was observed during the inclusion complexation. Driven by the cooperativity of electrostatic interactions, π-stacking interactions and hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions, the guest penetrated into the cavity of CWP7 to form a pseudorotaxane-type inclusion complex with relatively high binding affinity.
