Synthesis and characterization of thermally crosslinkable hole‐transporting polymers for PLEDs

Two new thermally crosslinkable hole‐transporting polymers, X‐PTPA and X‐PCz, were synthesized via Yamamoto coupling reactions. The number‐averaged molecular weights (M_n) of X‐PTPA and X‐PCz were found to be 45,000 and 48,000, respectively, and therewith, polydispersity indices were of 1.8 and 1.7, respectively. Thermally crosslinked X‐PTPA and X‐PCz exhibit excellent solvent resistance and stable optoelectronic properties. The UV–visible maximum absorption peaks of X‐PTPA and X‐PCz in the thin film state are at 389 and 322 nm, respectively. The HOMO levels of X‐PTPA and X‐PCz are estimated to be ?5.27 and ?5.39 eV, respectively. Multilayered devices (ITO/crosslinked X‐PTPA or X‐PCz/SY‐PPV/LiF/Al) were fabricated with SY (SuperYellow) as the emitting layer. The maximum efficiency of the multilayered device with a crosslinked X‐PTPA layer is approximately three times higher than that of the device without a crosslinked X‐PTPA layer and much higher than that of the crosslinked X‐PCz device. This result can be explained by the observations that crosslinked X‐PTPA produces increased electron accumulation within the emitter, SY, and also efficient exciton formation due to improved charge balance. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the redox reactions of radicals with AlIII(phthalocyaninate) pendants covalently bonded to poly(ethyleneamide). Mechanistic alterations when radicals are formed inside pockets of micelle‐like polymer aggregates

The mechanisms of the redox reactions between a polymer containing Al(III) sulfonated phthalocyanine pendants, (Al^III(^?NHS(O₂)trspc)^2?)₂, and radicals have been investigated in this work. Pulse radiolysis and photochemical methods were used for these studies. Oxidizing radicals, OH^?, HCO₃^?, (CH₃)₂COHCH₂^?, and N₃^?, as well as reducing radicals, e_aq^?, CO₂^??, and (CH₃)₂C^?OH, respectively accept or donate one electron forming pendent phthalocyanine radicals, Al^III(^?NHS(O₂)trspc ^?)^{? or 3?}. The kinetics of the redox processes is consistent with a mechanism where the pendants react with radicals formed inside aggregates of five to six polymer strands. Electron donating radicals, that is, CO₂^?? and (CH₃)₂C^?OH, produce one‐electron reduced phthalocyanine pendants that, even though they were stable under anaerobic conditions, donated charge to a Pt catalyst. While the polymer was regenerated in the Pt catalyzed processes, 2‐propanol and CO₂ were respectively reduced to propane and CO. The reaction of SO₃^?? radicals with the polymer stood in contrast with the reactions of the radicals mentioned above. A first step of the mechanism, the coordination of the SO₃^?? radical to the Al(III), was subsequently followed by the formation of a SO₃^?? ‐ phthalocyanine ligand adduct. The decay of the SO₃^?? ‐ phthalocyanine ligand adduct in a ～10² ms time domain regenerates the polymer, and it was attributed to the dimerization/disproportionation of SO₃^?? radicals escaping from the aggregates of polymer. © 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     

团簇Aun+1-1、AunCr-1 (n=1-10)吸附CO的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论对CO在阴离子团簇Aun+1-1、AunCr-1(n=1-10))表面的吸附做了系统研究.结果表明,团簇Aun+1CO-1、AunCrCO-1的基态结构是在团簇Aun+1-1、AunCr-1最低能量结构的基础上吸附CO形成; 吸附后的CO键长变长,振动频率减小,表明CO分子被活化;取值相同时,AunCrCO-1的平均结合能高,表明团簇Aun+1CO-1掺杂Cr后稳定性升高.HOMO-LOMO能隙结果表明Aun+1CO-1替代掺杂Cr原子后团簇的化学活性得到了提升,AunCrCO-1、Aun+1CO-1团簇能隙具有奇偶振荡的现象;轨道电荷分析表明CO与团簇相互作用实质是C原子与成键Au原子或Cr原子间转移电荷,CO在与团簇相互作用过程中O原子轨道电荷分布几乎没有发生变化.

Transversity of quarks in a nucleon

The transversity distribution of quarks in a nucleon is one of the three fundamental distributions, that characterize nucleon's properties in hard scattering processes at leading twist (twist 2). It measures the distribution of quark transverse spin in a nucleon polarized transverse to its (infinite) momentum. It is a chiral-odd twist-two distribution function — gluons do not couple to it. Quarks in a nucleon/hadron are relativistically bound and transversity is a measure of the relativistic nature of bound quarks in a nucleon. In this work, we review some important aspects of this less familiar distribution function which has not been measured experimentally so far.

线型聚能装药的理论研究

本文提出了一端起爆的线型聚能装药射流形成的不定常理论模型。根据这一模型,当金属罩在爆轰波作用下的运动速度为已知时,则不论此速度是否是时间或初始位置的函数,都能得到射流形成时的速度,质量和位置等参数。 按照本文模型,Defourneaux.M.的定常射流形成定常模型是一个简单的特例。我们利用本文的模型对等厚度装药的情况进行了计算,并与实验结果比较,两者符合良好。同时计算结果表明,考虑射流形成的不定常因素,可以较好地解释射流头部的质量堆积和射流内部的反向速度梯度等实验现象。本文的模型可以为线型聚能切割索的设计提供较为准确的理论指导。
