Charge transfer complexes and salts of ionenes

A review of the synthesis and properties of ionenes is presented. Particular attention is paid to the electrical and related properties of conductive teteracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) complex salts of ionenes containing ammonium or sulfonium groups in the main chain and to their chemical stability. The recent work on preparation of such ionenes with inorganic and organic counterions which show interesting linear and nonlinear optical properties is also discussed. It is shown that in the solid state ionenes act as a kind of a matrix fixing, in a chemically controlled way, positions and distribution of different kinds of counterions. Because the reaction of counterion exchange is easy in the case of ionenes it provides a convenient way to prepare a broad class of polyelectrolytes with many different properties.     

Atomic force microscopy investigation of growth process of organic TCNQ aggregates on SiO2 and mica substrates

<正>Deposition patterns of tetracyanoquinodimethane(TCNQ) molecules on different surfaces are investigated by atomic force microscopy.A homemade physical vapour deposition system allows the better control of molecule deposition. Taking advantage of this system,we investigate TCNQ thin film growth on both SiO_2 and mica surfaces.It is found that dense island patterns form at a high deposition rate,and a unique seahorse-like pattern forms at a low deposition rate.Growth patterns on different substrates suggest that the fractal pattern formation is dominated by molecule-molecule interaction.Finally,a phenomenal "two-branch" model is proposed to simulate the growth process of the seahorse pattern.     

外电场下TCNQ的激发与光谱性质研究

采用密度泛函B3PLY方法优化了不同外电场下TCNQ分子的基态稳定构型、电偶极矩和分子的总能量,并且分析了TCNQ分子的HOMO-2到LUMO+2轨道的能量变化。然后利用杂化CIS-DFT方法在同样的基组下计算了外电场下TCNQ分子的前9个激发态的激发能、波长和振子强度,结果表明在没有外电场的情况下,TCNQ分子只有一个激发态能够激发,从基态跃迁到第1激发态。在有外电场的作用下,总能量随外电场的增加而逐渐减少,偶极矩随外电场的增加而不断增加。其前线轨道的能量也随外电场的增加不断减少,轨道分布也受外电场很大的影响。另外,外电场对TCNQ分子的激发波长也产生了一定影响。

Synthesis,chemical properties,and CO2 electroreduction of π-conjugated polymers bearing imidazolium and imidazolinium rings in the polymer backbone

π-Conjugated polymers (CPs) bearing imidazolium and imidazolinium rings in the polymer backbone were prepared from a previously reported monomer, 1,3-bis(2,3-dimethyl-4-bromophenyl)imidazolium chloride, and a newly synthesized monomer, 1,3-bis(2,3-dimethyl-4-bromophenyl)imidazolinium chloride, via Sonogashira and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions. The corresponding model compounds were also synthesized via the same reactions and monomers. The absorption maxima and onset position of the UV–vis spectra of the polymers were observed at longer wavelengths than those of the model compounds, thus revealing the presence of extended π-conjugation along the polymer backbone chain. Both polymers and model compounds were photoluminescent in solution and exhibited solvatochromism. The cast films of the polymers on the Pt and Ag electrodes were demonstrated to be effective catalysts for CO₂ electroreduction.

Mediated Electron Transfer Across Supported Bilayer Lipid Membrane with TCNQ‐Based Organometallic Compounds

Supported bilayer lipid membrane (s‐BLM) containing one‐dimensional compound 1, TCNQ‐based (TCNQ=7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane) organometallic compound {(Cu₂(μ‐Cl)(μ‐dppm)₂)(μ₂‐TCNQ)}_∞, was prepared and characterized on the self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) of 1‐octadecylmercaptan (C₁₈H₃₇SH) deposited onto Au electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed that the compound 1, dotted inside s‐BLM, can act as mediator for electron transfer across the membrane. Two redox peaks and the charge‐transfer resistance of 400 kΩ were observed for compound 1 inside s‐BLM. The mechanism of the electron transfer across s‐BLM by TCNQ is by electron hopping while TCNQ‐based organometallic compound is by conducting. Further conclusion drawn from this finding is that the TCNQ‐based organometallic compound embedded inside s‐BLM exhibits excellent electron transfer ability than that of free TCNQ. This opens a new path for the development of s‐BLM sensor and/or biosensor by incorporation with TCNQ‐based organometallic compounds.     

Simultaneous Determination of Ascorbic Acid and Uric Acid by Using a PVC/TTF‐TCNQ Composite Electrode as Detector in a FIA System

A PVC/TTF‐TCNQ composite electrode has been employed as detector in a flow injection system. The proposed method allows the simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) in mixtures by using a FIA system in a simple manner, without pre‐treatment or modified electrode. This method is based on the amperometric determination of (a) ascorbic acid at 0.15 V and (b) both analytes at 0.35 V, being the response linear in the range 1×10^?2–4×10^?4 M for both analytes with detection limits (S/N=3) of 1.2×10^?4 M and 8.1×10^?5 M for AA and UA, respectively.     

An Inexpensive Biosensor for Uric Acid Determination in Human Serum by Flow‐Injection Analysis

An inexpensive and easy to construct miniaturized biosensor is described for the determination of uric acid in biological fluids. The amperometric biosensor was prepared by using a carbon paste electrode prepared with uricase from Arthrobacter globiforms and tetracyanoquinodimethane as electron transfer mediator. When incorporated into a flow‐injection system it was enabled to perform 50 measurements/h of uric acid in the analytical range of 1–100 μmol dm^?3 with a relative standard deviation of 0.20% (n=14). The system was applied to human serum samples analysis providing good data correlation with those obtained by the reference spectrophotometric method. A linear relationship AM (μmol dm^?3)=1.02 (±0.05) SP (μmol dm^?3) ?0.12 (±0.13) was obtained evidencing the absence of significant error. The constructed biosensor was successfully used for at least four months (250 assays) with only a 13% of decrease in the enzymatic activity.
