Expedient Synthesis of Oxaboracyclic Compounds Based on Naphthalene and Biphenyl Backbone and Phase-Dependent Luminescence of their Chelate Complexes

The approach to a series of six- and seven-membered oxaboraheterocycles based on naphthalene or biphenyl backbones was developed. The key synthetic step involved Br/Li exchange in respective potassium (bromoaryl)trifluoroborates followed by quenching with selected electrophiles (CO₂, DMF, Me₂Si(H)Cl) and hydrolytic workup. Two ring-expanded benzoxaborole congeners were obtained by an additional reduction step with LiAlH₄ or NaBH₄. The obtained boracyclic compounds were characterized in detail by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Specifically, biphenyl-based systems show dynamic behaviour interpreted in terms of inversion of non-planar seven-membered boraheterocycles. The acidity of the obtained compounds varies very strongly (pK_a ranges from 3.1–9.6) depending on their structure. Due to the enhanced boron Lewis acidity, selected compounds were used as a basis for luminescent complexes with 8-hydroxyquinoline. A strong phase-dependent variation of emission-band maximum (480–527 nm) and photoluminescence quantum yield (10–95 %) was observed, which was rationalized in terms of specific aggregation effects.     

LaAlO_3∶Eu~(3+)的绿色化学合成及光谱性质

提出一种合成LaAlO3的新方法,该方法操作简单、成本低、无污染。将化学计量比的反应物La(OH)3/La2O3和Al(OH)3放入反应釜中,于220℃温度下水热活化处理,快速加热至900℃反应即可得到LaAlO3。XRD结果表明,所合成的LaAlO3为三方晶系。PL结果表明,所合成的LaAlO3∶Eu3+的主要发射为Eu3+的5D0→7F1磁偶极跃迁发射和5D0→7F2电偶极跃迁发射,红橙比随着Eu3+离子掺杂量的增加而变大。在VUV-UV激发光谱中,LaAlO3∶Eu3+位于VUV光谱区的基质吸收很弱,而位于~315 nm的O2--Eu3+的电荷迁移跃迁带(CT)则较强。     

Optical and thermal properties of unsymmetrical liquid crystalline compounds based on isoxazole

The thermal and optical properties of two series of unsymmetrical liquid crystalline compounds based on an isoxazole ring are described. Of these materials, 3–7 and 8–12 displayed strong absorption at 285 nm and a weak blue fluorescence in solution at around 377 nm, even with the presence of a high conjugated core. The fluorescence quantum yields observed varied from low to moderate (Φ _F ?=?1–62%), with large Stokes shifts (60–178 nm). All compounds exhibited liquid crystalline behaviour with a wide mesomorphism temperature range and characteristic phases of calamitic compounds, among them smectic A (SmA), smectic C (SmC) and nematic (N) phases. Their phases were characterised using polarising optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, with X-ray diffraction experiments, layer spacing of 33.3–40.0 Å were observed for the smectic phases.

A supramolecular compound （C6H6NO2）3（C6H5NO2）（PW12O40）·2H2O including the Keggin-type [PW1O40]3- polyanion, [HC6H5NO2]＋ （protonated pyridine-4-carboxylic acid molecule）, C6H5NO2 （pyridine-4-carboxylic acid molecule） and two free H20 molecules has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic, space group Pnnm with a = 1.0483（3）, b = 1.4368（6）, c = 2.0526（7） nm, V= 3.0918（18） nm3,Z = 2, F（000） = 3004, Mr= 3406.07, Dc= 1.757 g.m-3,μ = 41.241 mm-1, the final R = 0.0387 and wR = 0.1089 for 2091 observed reflections withI〉 2σ（I）. A total of 30431 reflections were collected, of which 3083 were independent （Rint = 0.0605）. S is 1.182. The title compound presents a 3-D structure via intermolecular hydrogen bonds among [PW12O40]3- polyanions and pyridine-4-carboxylic acid ligands. The ultraviolet and luminescence spectra have been studied at room temperature, of which the purple fluorescent emission is located at 363 nm when excited at 264 nm. Fluorescent emission of the compound derives from the π-π＊ transitions in the pyridine-4-carboxylic acid ligands.     

Highly polarized absorption and emission from polymer-stabilized smectic guest-host systems

ABSTRACT

The optical properties of luminescent molecules dissolved in liquid crystals have led to their proposed use in luminescent thin-film polarizers. These molecules are typically required to fulfil a range of criteria related to their absorption and emission properties, degree of alignment and stability; however, concurrently satisfying these requirements has proven a barrier in their practical use. We obtained highly polarized absorption and emission luminescent thin-film polarizer using reactive liquid crystalline monomers and highly dichroic luminescent dyes, both of which have polymerizable end groups. In situ photopolymerization of the liquid crystalline mixtures in the highly ordered SmB phase resulted in the formation of cross-linked polymeric networks in which the anisotropic absorption and emission of the film were fixed. The as-obtained product exhibited a high dichroic ratio (DR = 30) with a large fluorescence quantum yield (?_F = 0.77). The device is both cheap and easy to fabricate and has the potential to be used in practical electro-optic applications.
