The electrochemistry of arylated anthraquinones in room temperature ionic liquids

Arylated anthraquinone derivatives of different sizes and different π‐basicities have been prepared, and the electrochemical behaviour of these substances has been studied on screen printed graphite electrodes in the three room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C₄MIM][PF₆]), 1‐hexyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C₆MIM][PF₆]) and 1‐octyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C₈MIM][PF₆]). Half redox potentials for the first and second one electron reduction waves were identified, and the diffusion coefficient values were estimated from cyclic voltammetry measurements. The influence of the nature of the RTIL and of the substitution pattern of the anthraquinone on the solvodynamic radii were studied. A correlation of the reductive potentials with the corresponding Hammett constants of the substituents was tested. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Recent progress on pure organic room temperature phosphorescence materials based on host-guest interactions

Pure organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has been attracting a lot interest recently. So far, many strategies have succeeded in achieving efficient organic RTP materials by increasing the rate of intersystem crossing (ISC) and suppressing non-radiative transitions. In supramolecular chemistry, the control and regulation of molecular recognition based on the role of the host and guest in supramolecular polymers matrix, has attracted much attention. Recently, researchers have successfully achieved room temperature phosphorescence of pure organic complexes through host-guest interactions. The host molecule specifically includes the phosphorescent guest to reduce non-radiative transitions and enhance room temperature phosphorescence emission. This review aims to describe the developments and achievements of pure organic room temperature phosphorescence systems through the mechanism of host-guest interactions in recent years, and demonstrates the exploration and pursuit of phosphorescent materials of researchers in different fields.     

Na2S–Carbon Nanotube Fabric Electrodes for Room‐Temperature Sodium–Sulfur Batteries

A unique sodium sulfide (Na₂S) cathode is developed, which will allow the use of sodium‐free anodes for room‐temperature sodium–sulfur (Na–S) batteries. To overcome the “inert” nature of the Na₂S, a special cathode structure is developed by spreading the multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)‐wrapped Na₂S particles onto MWCNT fabrics. Spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses reveal a series of polysulfide intermediates involved in the charge/discharge of the cell. The Na–S battery prepared in full discharge state with the Na₂S/MWCNT cathode provides a remarkable capacity of 500 A h kg^?1 (based on sulfur mass) after 50 cycles.     

Facile,Quick, and Gram‐Scale Synthesis of Ultralong‐Lifetime Room‐Temperature‐Phosphorescent Carbon Dots by Microwave Irradiation

Long‐lifetime room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials are important for many applications, but they are highly challenging materials owing to the spin‐forbidden nature of triplet exciton transitions. Herein, a facile, quick and gram‐scale method for the preparation of ultralong RTP (URTP) carbon dots (CDs) was developed via microwave‐assisted heating of ethanolamine and phosphoric acid aqueous solution. The CDs exhibit the longest RTP lifetime, 1.46 s (more than 10 s to naked eye) for CDs‐based materials to date. The doping of N and P elements is critical for the URTP which is considered to be favored by a n→π* transition facilitating intersystem crossing (ISC) for effectively populating triplet excitons. In addition, possibilities of formation of hydrogen bonds in the interior of the CDs may also play a significant role in producing RTP. Potential applications of the URTP CDs in the fields of anti‐counterfeiting and information protection are proposed and demonstrated.
