Photochemistry of β, γ-unsaturated ketones-V: The direct irradiation of some γ-phenyl β, γ-enones

The photochemistry of some members of the two series of γ-phenyl substituted acyclic β, γ-unsaturated ketones 1 and 2 upon direct irradiation with γ 310nm has been investigated, viz 1c–1h and 2b+2c.The alkyl substituted (E)-5-phenyl-4-penten-2-ones 1c–1h yield the corresponding 1,3-acyl shift products and (Z)-isomers, and 1g and 1h in addition two decarbonylated products. 2b only yields the (Z)-isomer and some benzaldehyde, but 2c yields the 1,3-acyl shift product, the ODPM product, three hydrocarbons formed by disproportionation of the allyl radical, and some benzaldehyde. The β-phenyl β, γ-UK 3a proved to be photostable. The 1,3-acyl shift products of 1c–1h result mainly from the singlet excited state in a cage radical process. The exclusive formation of the (E)-configuration of the 1,3-acyl shift product is explained in terms of conformational preference of the intermediate allyl radical. It is proposed that the formation of the (Z)-isomer proceeds from ¹T(π -π^*) which is populated according to

. Evidence is presented which supports the proposed mechanism.The β,γ-UK 2b containing a benzoyl moiety leads to a higher degree of (E)-(Z) isomerization than the corresponding 1d which has an acetyl moiety.The triplet energies of (E)- and (Z)-1h are 56 and ca 70 kcal/mol respectively.

Spatial donor/acceptor architecture for intramolecular charge-transfer emitter

Charge transfer via electron hopping from an electron donor (D) to an acceptor (A) in nanoscale, plays a crucial role in optoelectronic materials, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). Here, we propose a strategy for binding D/A units in space, where intramolecular charge-transfer can take place. The resulted material DM-Me-B is able to give bright emission in this molecular architecture because of the good control of D/A interaction and conformational rigidity. Moreover, DM-Me-B presents small singlet-triplet splitting energy, enabling thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Therefore, the DM-Me-B exhibits ～20% maximum external quantum efficiency and low efficiency roll-off at 1000 cd/m², certifying an effective strategy in controlling D/A blocks through space.     

Isolation and Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds from Water by Dynamic Purge-and-Trap Technique Coupled with Capillary Gas Chromatography

The preconcentration technique of purge-and-trap has been investigated in the present work for quantitative adsorption of volatile organic pollutants purged from water samples. A dynamic purging device with variable volume size has been constructed and tested to purge different concentrations of organic compounds. With Tenax GR as the adsorbent, a dynamic purge-and-trap technique was developed combining on-column preconcentration procedures using ambient trapping/thermal desorption/cryogenic focusing/back-flash injection prior to separation and determination using capillary gas chromatography. Various aromatic compounds in water were determined, giving linear working ranges over five orders of magnitude from 0.02 to 5000 µg/L. The analytical procedures were optimized under the assistance of ultrasonication with results validated for the determination of organic contaminants in underground water and tap water, giving over 93% recoveries and a detection limit of 0.01 µg/L, two orders of magnitude lower than those obtained using commercial available instruments with on-line configuration to minimize cross-contamination. The technique provides a potential automated method for in situ monitoring of volatile organic compounds in water.     

A new direction in design and manufacture of co-sensitized dye solar cells: Toward concurrent optimization of power conversion efficiency and durability

A novel methodology was implemented in the present study to concurrently control power conversion efficiency (η) and durability (D) of co-sensitized dye solar cells. Applying response surface methodology (RSM) and Desirability Function (DF), the main influential assembling (dye volume ratio and anti-aggregation agent concentration) and operational (performance temperature) parameters were systematically changed to probe their main and interactive effects on the η and D responses. Individual optimization based on RSM elucidated that D can be solely controlled by changing the ratio of vat-based organic photosensitizers, whereas η takes both effects of dye volume ratio and anti-aggregation concentration into account. Among the studied factors, the performance temperature played the most vital role in η and D regulation. In particular, however, multi-objective optimization by DF explored the degree to which one should be careful about manipulation of assembling and operational parameters in the way maximization of performance of a co-sensitized dye solar cell.     

Water inclusion as a trigger for modulation of anthracene arrangement and fluorescence emission of organic salt

An organic salt composed 9,10-bis(4-aminophenyl)anthracene and hypophosphorous acid emits yellow-green fluorescence in the crystalline state. The salt also gives water inclusion crystal which provides blue-green fluorescence. Single X-ray crystal studies revealed that water molecules induced the fluorescence change resulting from reaggregation of molecular packing.     

Naphthodithiophene-based donor materials for solution processed organic solar cells

As an emerging donor building block, naphthodithiophene (NDT) is causing more concerns in the field of organic semiconductors. With the rigid and coplanar molecule structure, NDT will exhibit more application space relying on its own advantage for facilitating the charge carrier transport. In this review article, we have summarized the development progress on the NDT-based donor materials for solution processed organic solar cells. Discussions and comments on those representative NDT type materials about structure and property are also presented.     

Proteins as functional interlayer in organic field-effect transistor

The paper summarizes and discusses the recent advances of proteins as functional interlayers in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Specific focus is given on the proteins integrated into the device structure, either to act as dielectric materials or to perform as the functional interlayer between the dielectric and the organic semiconductor (OSC). The main emphasis is give to the location and the specific effect of protein layers in the structure of OFETs. Besides, the possibility of amyloid serving as useful building blocks for OFET is discussed.
