Anthracene Moieties (anthracene + moiety)
Selected AbstractsGrayscale Photopatterning of an Amorphous Polymer Thin Film Prepared by Photopolymerization of a Bisanthracene-Functionalized Liquid-Crystalline MonomerADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 10 2010Hideyuki Kihara Abstract A method for grayscale photopatterning of an amorphous polymer film derived from a bisanthracene-functionalized liquid-crystalline monomer is developed. Solution photopolymerization of a monomer with two anthracene moieties, one at each end, affords an amorphous polymer. A combination of irradiation with patterned UV light and heating results in photopatterning on thin films prepared from the polymer. On non-irradiated areas of the film, the polymer reverts to the monomer owing to the thermal back-reaction of the anthracene photodimer, forming an ordered phase. On irradiated areas remaining in the amorphous phase, the thermal back-reaction is suppressed. This phenomenon results in a clear contrast and visual images on the film under polarized light. Grayscale photopatterning is also made possible for the solution-polymerized polymer by controlling the intensity of exposure. In addition, rewritable photopatterning can be achieved by melt photopolymerization of the monomer. The new photopatterning is essentially nondestructive because it needs neither image development nor anthracene-excitation light for reading. [source] Systematic Investigation of Molecular Arrangements and Solid-State Fluorescence Properties on Salts of Anthracene-2,6-disulfonic Acid with Aliphatic Primary AminesCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 33 2009Yuji Mizobe Dr. Abstract Organic salts of anthracene-2,6-disulfonic acid (ADS) with a wide variety of primary amines have been fabricated, and their arrangements of anthracene molecules and solid-state fluorescence properties investigated. Single-crystal X-ray studies reveal that the salts show seven types of crystal forms and corresponding molecular arrangements of anthracene moieties depending on the amine, while anthracene shows only one form and arrangement in the solid state. Depending on the molecular arrangements, the ADS salts exhibit various solid-state fluorescence properties: spectral shift (30,nm) and suppression and enhancement of the fluorescence intensity. Especially the ADS salt with n -heptylamine (nHepA), which shows discrete anthracene moieties in the crystal, exhibits the highest quantum yield (,F=46.1±0.2,%) in the series of ADS salts, which exceeds that of anthracene crystal (,F=42.9±0.2,%). From these systematic investigations on the arrangements and the solid-state properties, the following factors are essential for high fluorescence quantum yield in the solid state: prevention of contact between , planes of anthracene moieties and immobilization of anthracene rings. In addition, such organic salts have potential as a system for modulating the molecular arrangements of fluorophores and the concomitant solid-state properties. Thus, systematic investigation of this system constructs a library of arrangements and properties, and the library leads to remarkable strategies for the development of organic solid materials. [source] The Origin of the Improved Efficiency and Stability of Triphenylamine-Substituted Anthracene Derivatives for OLEDs: A Theoretical Investigation,CHEMPHYSCHEM, Issue 17 2008Bing Yang Dr. Abstract Herein, we describe the molecular electronic structure, optical, and charge-transport properties of anthracene derivatives computationally using density functional theory to understand the factors responsible for the improved efficiency and stability of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with triphenylamine (TPA)-substituted anthracene derivatives. The high performance of OLEDs with TPA-substituted anthracene is revealed to derive from three original features in comparison with aryl-substituted anthracene derivatives: 1) the HOMO and LUMO are localized separately on TPA and anthracene moieties, respectively, which leads to better stability of the OLEDs due to the more stable cation of TPA under a hole majority-carrier environment; 2) the more balanceable hole and electron transport together with the easier hole injection leads to a larger rate of hole,electron recombination, which corresponds to the higher electroluminescence efficiency; and 3) the increasing reorganization energy for both hole and electron transport and the higher HOMO energy level provide a stable potential well for hole trapping, and then trapped holes induce a built-in electric field to prompt the balance of charge-carrier injection. [source] Systematic Investigation of Photoinduced Electron Transfer Controlled by Internal Charge Transfer and Its Consequences for Selective PdCl2 CoordinationCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 6 2010Thomas Schwarze Abstract Fluoroionophores of fluorophore,spacer,receptor format were prepared for detection of PdCl2 by fluorescence enhancement. The fluorescent probes 1,13 consist of a fluorophore group, an alkyl spacer and a dithiomaleonitrile PdCl2 receptor. First, varying the length of the alkylene spacer (compounds 1,3) revealed a dominant through-space pathway for oxidative photoinduced electron transfer (PET) in CH2 -bridged dithiomaleonitrile fluoroionophores. Second, fluorescent probes 4,9 containing two anthracene or pyrene fragments connected through CH2 bridges to the dithiomaleonitrile unit were synthesized. Modulation of the oxidation potential (EOx) through electron-withdrawing or -donating groups on the anthracene moiety regulates the thermodynamic driving force for oxidative PET (,GPET) in bis(anthrylmethylthio)maleonitriles and therefore the fluorescence quantum yields (,f), too. The new concept was confirmed and transferred to pyrenyl ligands, and fluorescence enhancements (FE) greater than 3.2 in the presence of PdCl2 were achieved by 7 and 8 (FE=5.4 and 5.2). Finally, for comparison, monofluorophore ligands 10,13 were synthesized. [source] | ||||||||||
