Halogenation is an effective way to tune the energy levels of organic semiconducting materials. To date, fluorination of organic semiconducting materials to fabricate polymer solar cells (PSCs) has been used far more than chlorination; however, fluorine exchange reactions suffer from low yields and the resulting fluorinated polymer always comes with a higher price, which will greatly hinder their commercial applications. Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of chlorinated donor-acceptor (D-A) type polymers, in which benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b]dithiophene and chlorinated benzothiadiazole units are connected by thiophene π-bridges with an asymmetric alkyl chain. These chlorinated polymers showed deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels, which promoted the efficiency of their corresponding PSCs by increasing the device open circuit voltage. The asymmetric alkyl chain on the thiophene moieties gave the final polymer sufficient solubility for solution processing and strong π-π stacking in films allowed for high mobility. Although the introduction of a large Cl atom increased the torsion angle of the polymer backbone, the chlorinated polymers maintained a favorable backbone orientation in blend films for efficient PSC application. These factors contributed to respectable device performances from thick-film devices, which showed PCEs as high as 9.11% for a 250-nm-thick active layer. These results demonstrate that chlorination is a promising method to fine-tune the energy levels of conjugated polymers, and chlorinated benzothiadiazole may be a versatile building block in materials for efficient solar energy conversion.

The delocalization of electron density upon tautomerization of a proton across a conjugated bridge can alter the strength of hydrogen bonds. This effect has been dubbed resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB) and plays a major role in the energetics of the tautomeric equilibrium. The goal of this work was to investigate the role that π-delocalization plays in the stability of RAHBs by engaging other isomerization processes. Similarly, acid-base chemistry has received little experimental attention in studies of RAHB, and we address the role that acid-base effects play in the tautomeric equilibrium. We find that π-delocalization and the disruption of adjacent aromatic rings is the dominant effect in determining the stability of a RAHB.

Chlorinated organic materials have drawn much attention and have been applied in various fields due to their intriguing properties such as easy accessibility with low cost, high capability to hold electron density, and “heavy-atom effect”. In this work, a

Red/near-infrared organic dyes are becoming increasingly widespread in biological applications. However, designing these dyes with long-wavelength emission, large Stokes shifts, and high fluorescence quantum efficiency is still a very challenging task. In this work, five donor-acceptor (D-A) red/near-infrared fluorophores based on different chlorinated/fluorinated benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole units are designed and synthesized. The photophysical, theoretical calculations, and electrochemical properties explored in this study have proved that the introducing of chlorine atoms will lead to a lower HOMO level, stronger steric hindrance, and a relatively lower quantum yield in solutions. When the organic dots are fabricated, the chlorinated dots demonstrate much higher fluorescence quantum yield, larger Stokes shift, and better photostability than that of the fluorinated dots. After labeling A549 cells, all the chlorinated/fluorinated dots exhibit high red emission intensities. All these results indicated that the subtle change in the halogen atom of the benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole unit is a unique method to tune the photophysical properties of those materials, and also provides good guidelines to design highly efficient red/near-infrared molecules for cellular imaging applications.

An object of the present invention is to provide an efficient method of manufacturing 3,3′,4,4′-tetraaminobiphenyl with a smaller number of steps. The manufacturing method of 3,3′,4,4′-tetraaminobiphenyl includes reacting the amino groups of a 4-halo-o-phenylenediamine with an inorganic sulfur compound to lead to a 5-halo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, subsequently coupling two molecules of the benzothiadiazole together to form a 5,5′-bis(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) and then deprotecting the amino groups to yield 3,3′,4,4′-tetraaminobiphenyl.
