Selected AbstractsA Series of Red-Light-Emitting Ionic Iridium Complexes: Structures, Excited State Properties, and Application in Electroluminescent DevicesEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 13 2008Shu-Juan Liu Abstract A series of ionic diiminoiridium complexes [Ir(piq-C,N)2(L-N,N)](PF6) were prepared, where piq-C,N is 1-phenylisoquinolinato and L-N,N are bidentate N-coordinating ligands: 2,2,-bipyridine (bpy), 4,4,-dimethyl-2,2,-bipyridine (mbpym), 5,5,-bis(thiopen-2-yl)-2,2,-bipyridine (tbpyt), and 5,5,-bis(9,9-dioctylfluoren-2-yl)-2,2,-bipyridine (FbpyF). X-ray diffraction studies of [Ir(piq)2(mbpym)](PF6) revealed that the iridium center adopts a distorted octahedral geometry. All complexes exhibited intense and long-lived emission at room temperature. The substituents on the 2,2,-bipyridine moieties influence the photophysical and electrochemical properties. The excited states were investigated through theoretical calculations together with photophysical and electrochemical properties. It was found that the excited state of the [Ir(piq)2(FbpyF)](PF6) complex can be assigned to a mixed character of 3LC (,N,N,,*N,N), 3MLCT, 3LLCT (,C,N,,*N,N), and 3LC (,C,N,,*C,N). In addition, the alkylfluorene-substituted complex, [Ir(piq)2(FbpyF)](PF6), hadrelatively high quantum efficiency and good film-forming ability, and it was expected to be a good candidate for lighting and display applications. A nondoped, single-layer device that incorporates this complex as a light-emitting layer was fabricated and red phosphorescence was obtained.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source] Polymer Field-Effect Transistors Fabricated by the Sequential Gravure Printing of Polythiophene, Two Insulator Layers, and a Metal Ink GateADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 2 2010Monika M. Voigt Abstract The mass production technique of gravure contact printing is used to fabricate state-of-the art polymer field-effect transistors (FETs). Using plastic substrates with prepatterned indium tin oxide source and drain contacts as required for display applications, four different layers are sequentially gravure-printed: the semiconductor poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT), two insulator layers, and an Ag gate. A crosslinkable insulator and an Ag ink are developed which are both printable and highly robust. Printing in ambient and using this bottom-contact/top-gate geometry, an on/off ratio of >104 and a mobility of 0.04,cm2 V,1 s,1 are achieved. This rivals the best top-gate polymer FETs fabricated with these materials. Printing using low concentration, low viscosity ink formulations, and different P3HT molecular weights is demonstrated. The printing speed of 40,m min,1 on a flexible polymer substrate demonstrates that very high-volume, reel-to-reel production of organic electronic devices is possible. [source] Stretchable, Large-area Organic ElectronicsADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 20 2010Tsuyoshi Sekitani Abstract Stretchability will significantly expand the application scope of electronics, particularly large-area electronics,displays, sensors, and actuators. If arbitrary surfaces and movable parts could be covered with stretchable electronics, which is impossible with conventional electronics, new classes of applications are expected to emerge. A large hurdle is manufacturing electrical wiring with high conductivity, high stretchability, and large-area compatibility. This Review describes stretchable, large-area electronics based on organic field-effect transistors for applications to sensors and displays. First, novel net-shaped organic transistors are employed to realize stretchable, large-area sensor networks that detect distributions of pressure and temperature simultaneously. The whole system is functional even when it is stretched by 25%. In order to further improve stretchability, printable elastic conductors are developed by dispersing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as dopants uniformly in rubbers. Further, we describe integration of printable elastic conductors with organic transistors to construct a rubber-like stretchable active matrix for large-area sensor and display applications. Finally, we will discuss the future prospects of stretchable, large-area electronics with delineating a picture of the next-generation human/machine interfaces from the aspect of materials science and electronic engineering. [source] Contact-Printed Microelectromechanical SystemsADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 16 2010Corinne E. Packard A process for rapid fabrication of metallic MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) without lithographic processing is presented. Using dimensionally scalable contact printing, 3D electromechanical structures (see figure) are fabricated and functionally tested. Flexible, paper-thin device arrays produced by this method may enable such applications as pressure sensing skins for people and vehicles, phased array detectors for acoustic imaging, and novel adaptive-texture display applications. [source] Structural analysis of thin films of novel polynorbornene derivatives by grazing incidence X-ray scattering and specular X-ray reflectivity along with ellipsometryJOURNAL OF APPLIED CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, Issue 2007Taek Joon Lee In the present study, structural analyses using synchrotron grazing incidence X-ray scattering, specular reflectivity and ellipsometry were performed on thin films of two novel polynorbornene derivatives, chiral poly(norbornene acid methyl ester) and racemic poly(norbornene acid n -butyl ester), which are potential low dielectric constant materials for advanced microelectronic and display applications. These analyses provided important information on the structure, electron density gradient across the film thickness, chain orientation, refractive index and thermal expansion characteristics of the polymers in substrate-supported thin films. The structural characteristics and properties of the thin films depended on the tacticity of the polymer chain and were further influenced by the film thickness and thermal annealing history. [source] ,Mass defect' tags for biomolecular mass spectrometryJOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY (INCORP BIOLOGICAL MASS SPECTROMETRY), Issue 8 2003Michael P. Hall Abstract We present a new class of ,mass defect' tags with utility in biomolecular mass spectrometry. These tags, incorporating element(s) with atomic numbers between 17 (Cl) and 77 (Ir), have a substantially different nuclear binding energy (mass defect) from the elements common to biomolecules. This mass defect yields a readily resolvable mass difference between tagged and untagged species in high-resolution mass spectrometers. We present the use of a subset of these tags in a new protein sequencing application. This sequencing technique has advantages over existing mass spectral protein identification methodologies: intact proteins are quickly sequenced and unambiguously identified using only an inexpensive, robust mass spectrometer. We discuss the potential broader utility of these tags for the sequencing of other biomolecules, differential display applications and combinatorial methods. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
