The preparation of four different star-shaped donor (D)-π-acceptor (A) small molecules (N(Ph-1T-DCN-Me)3, N(Ph-2T-DCN-Me)3, N(Ph-2T-DCN-Hex)3and N(Ph-3T-DCN-Hex)3) possessing various oligothiophene π-bridge lengths and their use in solution-processed bulk heterojunction small molecule solar cells is reported. Optical and electrochemical data show that increasing oligothiophene π-bridge length leads to a decrease of the optical band gap due to a parallel increase of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level. Furthermore, subtle modifications of a molecular π-bridge length strongly affect the thermal behavior, solubility, crystallization, film morphology and charge carrier mobility, which in turn significantly change the device performance. Although the moderately increasing oligothiophene π-bridge length uplifts the HOMO level, it nevertheless induces an increase of the efficiency of the resulting solar cells due to a simultaneous improvement of the short circuit current (Jsc) and fill factor (FF). The study demonstrates that such an approach can represent an interesting tool for the effective modulation of the photovoltaic properties of the organic solar cells (OSCs) at a moderate cost.

New members of family of Eu(III) complex based on the thenoylacetophenone have been synthesized and characterized. The compounds were found for high metal luminescence quantum yields and long luminescence lifetime, especially for compound with two crystal water, corresponding with other compounds containing two crystal water. The result is attributed to high molar absorption coefficients of the Eu(III) complex according to UV-vis and emission spectra. The high molar absorption coefficients balance quenching effect from O{single bond}H oscillators of water contained in compound.

The versatile application of different functional groups such as alcohols (1° and 2°), alkyl arenes, and (aryl)olefins to construct carbon-oxygen bond via oxidation is an area of intense research. Here, we report a reusable heterogeneous V2O5@TiO2 catalyzed selective oxidation of various functionalities utilizing different mild and eco-compatible oxidants under greener reaction conditions. The method was successfully applied for the alcohol oxidation, oxidative scission of styrenes, and benzylic C?H oxidation to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones. The utilization of mild and eco-friendly oxidizing reagents such as K2S2O8, H2O2 (30 % aq.), TBHP (70 % aq.), broad substrate scope, gram-scale synthesis, and catalyst recyclability are notable features of the developed protocol.

Tandem catalytic reactions improve atom- and step-economy over traditional synthesis but are limited by the incompatibility of the required catalysts. Herein, we report the design of bifunctional metal-organic layers (MOLs), HfOTf-Fe and HfOTf-Mn, consisting of triflate (OTf)-capped Hf6 secondary building units (SBUs) as strong Lewis acidic centers and metalated TPY ligands as metal active sites for tandem catalytic transformations using O2 and CO2 as coreactants. HfOTf-Fe effectively transforms hydrocarbons into cyanohydrins via tandem oxidation with O2 and silylcyanation whereas HfOTf-Mn converts styrenes into styrene carbonates via tandem epoxidation and CO2 insertion. Density functional theory calculations revealed the involvement of a high-spin FeIV (S = 2) center in the challenging oxidation of the sp3 C-H bond. This work highlights the potential of MOLs as a tunable platform to incorporate multiple catalysts for tandem transformations.
