Synthesis of mikto‐topology star polymer containing one cyclic arm

Well‐defined mikto‐topology star polystyrene composed of one cyclic arm and four linear arms was synthesized by a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and Cu‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction. First, the bromine‐alkyne α,ω‐linear polystyrenes containing four hydroxyl groups protected with acetone‐based ketal groups were synthesized by ATRP of styrene using a designed initiator. Then, the bromine end‐group was converted to the azide and the linear polystyrene was cyclized intra‐molecularly by the CuAAC reaction. The four hydroxyl groups were released by deprotection and then esterified with 2‐bromoisobutyryl bromide to produce a cyclic polymer bearing four ATRP initiating units. By subsequent ATRP of styrene to grow linear polymers with the cyclic polystyrene as a macroinitiator, the mikto‐topology star polymers were prepared. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tuning the sugar‐response of boronic acid block copolymers

A detailed study of the pH‐ and sugar‐responsive behavior of poly(3‐acrylamidophenylboronic acid pinacol ester)‐b‐poly(N,N‐dimethylacrylamide) (PAPBAE‐b‐PDMA) block copolymers is presented. Reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of the pinacol ester of 3‐acrylamidophenylboronic acid resulted in homopolymers with molecular weights between 12,000 and 37,000 g/mol. The resulting homopolymers were employed as macro‐chain transfer agents during the polymerization of N,N‐dimethylacrylamide (DMA). Successful chain extension and removal of the pinacol protecting groups to yield poly(3‐acrylamidophenylboronic acid)‐b‐PDMA (PAPBA‐b‐PDMA) with free boronic acid moieties resulted in pH‐ and sugar‐responsive block copolymers that were subsequently investigated for their behavior in aqueous solution. The PAPBA‐b‐PDMA block copolymers were capable of solution self‐assembly due to the PAPBA block being water‐insoluble below its pK_a. The resulting aggregates were demonstrated to solubilize and release model hydrophobic compounds, as demonstrated by fluorescence studies. Dissociation of the aggregates was induced by raising the pH above the pK_a of the boronic acid residues or by adding sugars capable of forming boronate esters. Aggregate size, dissociation kinetics, and the effect of various sugars were considered. The critical sugar concentration needed to induce aggregate dissociation was tuned by incorporation of hydrophilic DMA units within the PAPBA responsive segment to yield PDMA‐b‐poly(3‐acrylamidophenylboronic acid‐co‐DMA) block copolymers. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the formation mechanism for electrically generated exciplexes in a carbazole–pyridine copolymer

Although carbazole‐containing copolymers are frequently used as hole‐transporting host materials for polymer organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs), they often suffer from the formation of undesired exciplexes when the OLED is operated. The reason why exciplexes sometimes form for electrical excitation, yet not for optical excitation is not well understood. Here, we use luminescence measurements and quantum chemical calculations to investigate the mechanism of such exciplex formation for electrical excitation (electroplex formation) in a carbazole–pyridine copolymer. Our results suggest that the exciplex is formed via a positively charged interchain precursor complex. This complex is stabilized by interactions that involve the nitrogen lone pairs on both chain segments. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys, 2012     

滤光片型近红外仪器模型传递的研究

模型传递问题是近红外光谱分析技术中解决数据通用性的关键问题。文章以玉米籽粒近红外光谱图(检测其中水分含量)为例,考察了模型传递的问题。使用斜率截距算法,直接校正法和目标因子分析等算法,在5台滤光片型近红外仪器上实现了模型传递,并比较了各种方法的模型传递效果。研究表明,直接校正法的模型传递效果最好,4台从仪器的平均传递差异度为7.01%。文章还研究了标准样品数量对模型传递效果的影响。作为转换集的标准样品数目越多,模型传递效果越好,一般有20个标准样品就能达到稳定的效果。当转换集小于20时,直接校正法的传递效果急剧下降,而标准样品数量对斜率截距法和目标因子分析法的影响不明显。

瞬态荧光方法研究溶剂诱导的三苯胺衍生物的对称性破缺电荷转移动力学

在缺乏特征红外振动的情况下追踪具有四极或八极对称性分子的激发态对称性破缺电荷转移通常是很困难的.本文以一种具有八极对称性的三苯胺衍生物为研究对象,利用飞秒时间分辨瞬态荧光光谱方法获得发光跃迁偶极矩的演化动力学,进而实时表征了其溶剂诱导对称性破缺电荷转移的动力学过程.当该分子处于弱极性甲苯溶液中时,在激发态弛豫过程中其发射偶极矩变化较小;当处于较强极性的四氢呋喃溶液中时,其发射偶极矩在数皮秒内快速减小.在对比单体偶极分子的荧光动力学后,推断八极分子的发光态在强极性溶剂中经历溶剂诱导的结构变化,由激子耦合的八极对称性降低至激发定域的偶极对称性;而在较弱极性的溶剂中,其八极对称性在溶剂化稳定中得以较大程度的保持.

采用直接对倾斜刀口成像的方法测量光锥与CCD耦合器件的调制传递函数.这种方法对静止刀口成像,利用刀口与光锥纤维列间的一定倾斜角度,在垂直于刀口的不同行之间形成不同的值,代替了传统刀口扫描中的扫描装置,并无需保证刀口与阵列的平行,相应地减小了测量误差. 在数据处理中采用了二次平均法,即对同一幅图像得出的不同位置值进行平均及多次测量结果平均,在一定程度上消除了由于离散性产生的空间非平移不变性的影响.     

掺Perylene的PVK薄膜荧光谱及发光机理

用高荧光效率的有机染料芘(perylene)掺杂聚乙烯咔唑(PVK),其荧光光谱与芘的发射光谱基本一致,而且亮度比纯芘发光提高十多倍,说明发光主要来自芘分子,并在PVK和perylene之间存在十分有效的能量传递或电荷转移过程,荧光谱强度随掺杂浓度的变化关系说明存在一个最佳的掺杂浓度比.分析PVK和perylene之间可能发生的能量转移过程,认为从PVK到perylene这种能量转移与实验不符;分析PVK和perylene薄膜的光致发光过程,认为从(PVK+)→(perylene+)和从(PVK-)→(p
