MECHANICAL PERTURBATION INDUCED MOLECULAR ALIGNMENTS IN A SIDE-CHAIN LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYACETYLENE, POLY{10-[4-(4''-METHOXYPHENOXY-CARBOML)PHENOXYCARBONYL]-1-DECYNE}*

A new liquid crystalline polyacetylene containing a phenyl benzoate mesogen (5) is synthesized,whose mesomorphic properties are found to be easily "tunab1e" by simple mechanical perturbation. Thepolymerization of 10- [ 4 - (4' -methoxyphenoxycarbonyl )phenoxycarbonyl] - 1 -decyne (4 ) in itiated by theWCl_6-Ph_4Sn/dioxane complex yields polymer 5 with a M_w of 28400. The molecular structure of 5 ischaracterized by NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy and its liquid crystalline behavior is investigated by DSC,POM, and XRD analysis. Upon mechanical perturbation, 5 exhibits unusual agitation-induced high-strengthdisclinations, shear-induced inversion walls, and solidification-induced banded textures. Such phenomenahave been observed in the main-chain liquid crystalline polymers with rigid backbones, but have seldom beenreported for the side-chain liquid crystalline polymers with flexible backbones, suggesting that the rigidpolyacetylene backbone of 5 plays a constructive role in inducing the novel molecular alignments.

具有聚集诱导发光行为的环状多烯类分子

研究了ΔH-pyrans,fulvenes,siloles等环状多烯结构的小分子荧光染料在溶液,固态及薄层层析板上的荧光发射行为.与大多数传统的荧光染料小分子不同,这些多烯类荧光染料分子在稀溶液中基本没有荧光,而在聚集态下呈现非常明亮的荧光发射,同时伴随着荧光量子效率的大幅提高(聚集诱导发光).它们在薄层层析板上也具有很强的荧光发射.但当薄层层析板暴露于有机溶剂气氛下,荧光消失,离开有机溶剂气氛,荧光恢复,这一可逆过程并可多次重复.在固体状态,它们的荧光发射与聚集态结构密切相关.通过从无定型态到结晶态以及从一种结晶态到另一种结晶态的变化,可以有效的调节它们的固体荧光发射.     

THE DIFFERENCE OF OPTICAL POLARIZATION PROPERTIES BETWEEN XBLs AND RBLs

On the basis of the beaming model, we have derived a relation between the observed polarization (P^ob) and Doppler-corrected optical magnitude (m^corr), log P^ob=0.4(1-k) m^corr+C. We tested the correlation between P^{ob} and mcorr. The main results are as follows: (1) for both high and low states, there are strong correlations between Pob and mcorr for 29 RBLs with well-observed polarization and Doppler factor, where mcorr=mob+(3+α)logδ/0.4, and δ is the optical Doppler factor; (2) no correlation exists between Pob and the observed optical magnitude, mob, for the 29 RBLs in high state, but there is a close correlation for the 29 RBLs in low state; (3) however, there is an obvious anti-correlation between Pob and mcorr for 35 XBLs with good simultaneous observation data. Our results show that (i) a new difference in polarization is found between RBLs and XBLs; (ii) this difference in polarization between RBLs and XBLs seems really to be physical differences.}     

CARBAZOLE-CONTAINING HYPERBRANCHED POLY（ARYLENEETHYNYLENE）S： SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND PROPERTIES

New hyperbranched poly(aryleneethynylene)s containing carbazole moieties are synthesized in high yields(up to 87%)by polycyclotrimerization of 3,6-bis(4-ethynylphenyl)-9-octylcarbazole and its copolymerization with 1-octyne catalyzed by CpCo(CO)_2 in THF.The structures and properties of the polymers are characterized and evaluated by IR,NMR, TGA,UV,photoluminescence,and cyclic voltammetry analyses.All the polymers are soluble in common organic solvents and show outstanding thermal stability(≥430℃).They graphitize in high yields(up to 79%)when pyrolyzed at 800℃.

SYNTHESIS AND PHOTOLUMINESCENCE OF AN ANTHRACENE-CONTAINING HYPERBRANCHED POLY（ARYLENEETHYNYLENE）

A hyperbranched poly（aryleneethynylene） containing anthracene chromophore was synthesized by palladiumcatalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 2,4,6-triiodophenyl 9-anthracenylcarboxylate with 9,9-bis[4-（2-propynyloxy）phenyl]- 9H-fluorene. The structure and properties of the polymer are characterized and evaluated by NMR, IR, UV, PL and TGA analyses.

SYNTHESIS AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF POLY (THIENYLACETYLENES)*

3 -Ethynyl-4-(trimethylsilyl)thiophene (1a) and 3 -ethynyl-4-bromothiophene (1 b ) selectivelyundergo acetylene polymerizations in the presence of the MoCl_5- and WCl_6-Ph_3SiH catalysts to give soluble,high-molecular-weight poly(thienylacetylenes) (2) (M_w up to 602000) in high yields (up to 100%). Lighttransmission spectra of THF solutions of 2 continuously red-shift with increasing concentration. Theconcentratochromism shows a logarithmic concentration dependence; that is, the optical transitions of 2 arepredictably tunable by simply changing their concentrations.     

PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY STUDY OF NEW POLYACETYLENE DERIVATIVES WITH DIFFERENT SUBSTITUENTS

The photoconductivities of a series of novel polyacetylene derivatives （PAs） serving as charge generation materials in the single-layered photoreceptors were investigated using photoinduced xerographic discharge technique. It was found that the substitution can improve the photosensitivity of PAs by increasing the conjugation of π electrons. When the substituent is itself photoconductive, the photoconductivity becomes even higher. It can be concluded from cyclic voltammetry that when the HOMO level of the polymer is closer to that of the charge transport material, the photoconduction performance will be better.

The polymers are completely soluble in common solvents such as toluene, THF, chloroform, and dichloromethane. The polymers are characterized by spectroscopic methods and all of the polymers give satisfactory analysis data corresponding to their expected molecular structures.
