Three new dyes containing diphenylamine as electron donor, benzene (BIM1), benzothiadiazole (BTD) (BIM2) and N-ethylhexylbenzotriazole (BTZ) (BIM3) as auxiliary electron acceptors, quinoline as π-bridge and cyanoacrylic acid as anchoring group were synthesized in D-A-π-A structure for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The optical, electrochemical, theoretical and photovoltaic methods were performed to understand the auxiliary acceptor influence on the performance of these dyes. Compared to the other dyes, the DSSC with dye BIM3 slightly increases the open circuit voltage (Voc) owing to the retardation of charge recombination by BTZ. However, replacement of benzene or BTZ by BTD unit causes a large red shift of the absorption spectra, leading BIM2 cell to produce the highest short circuit current density (Jsc). Thus, among the three D-A-π-A dyes, BIM2 is determined to be the most efficient dye, which reached a Voc of 0.627 V and Jsc of 11.53 mA cm–2, corresponding to an overall power conversion efficiency of 5.21 % in the presence of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) as the coadsorbent. These results suggest that the insertion of benzothiadiazole as auxiliary acceptor into quinoline-based D-A-π-A dyes can effectively improve photovoltaic performance of DSSCs.

Protein kinase CK2 is a highly pleiotropic protein kinase capable of phosphorylating hundreds of protein substrates. It is involved in numerous cellular functions, including cell viability, apoptosis, cell proliferation and survival, angiogenesis, or ER‐stress response. As CK2 activity is found perturbed in many pathological states, including cancers, it becomes an attractive target for the pharma. A large number of low‐mass ATP‐competitive inhibitors have already been developed, the majority of them halogenated. We tested the binding of six series of halogenated heterocyclic ligands derived from the commercially available 4,5‐dihalo‐benzene‐1,2‐diamines. These ligand series were selected to enable the separation of the scaffold effect from the hydrophobic interactions attributed directly to the presence of halogen atoms. In silico molecular docking was initially applied to test the capability of each ligand for binding at the ATP‐binding site of CK2. HPLC‐derived ligand hydrophobicity data are compared with the binding affinity assessed by low‐volume differential scanning fluorimetry (nanoDSF). We identified three promising ligand scaffolds, two of which have not yet been described as CK2 inhibitors but may lead to potent CK2 kinase inhibitors. The inhibitory activity against CK2α and toxicity against four reference cell lines have been determined for eight compounds identified as the most promising in nanoDSF assay.

A fluorescent T-shaped benzimidazole was successfully designed and interlocked in a bicyclic macrocycle to form a suit[1]ane through supramolecular templated-synthesis. Compared with the bare fluorophore, suit[1]ane requires nearly two times the concentration to initialize the aggregation-caused quenching effect in solution. Furthermore, an 8-fold higher solid-state fluorescence quantum yield (21.7%) is also achieved. By taking advantage of mechanical bonding and molecular packing, such fluorescence emission enhancement through formation of a suitane opens the way to new complex fluorescent materials.

In this report we have disclosed the syntheses and properties of two new conjugated organic moieties bearing the same coordination sites but possessing different backbone rigidities and rotational flexibilities. Two new metallopolymers have been synthesized from the corresponding ligands under identical reaction conditions, and they have been thoroughly characterized through different techniques to understand the effect of backbone rigidity on the evolution of different properties in these metallopolymers. A FESEM micrograph of the rigid metallopolymer confirms the formation of a rigid nanorod type structure, while long agglomerated nanofiber strands are visible on the substrate in the case of the flexible analogue. All of the newly synthesized materials are fluorescence active. An Fe(II) metallopolymer of the flexible ligand showed huge changes in emission properties in the presence of different acids and showed a possibility of it being used as a thin film acid vapor sensor. All of the materials showed reversible electrochemical activity, and both of these polymers have shown electroluminescence when an appropriate potential is applied.

Reversibly switching the light absorption of organic molecules by redox processes is of interest for applications in sensors, light harvesting, smart materials, and medical diagnostics. This work presents a symmetrical benzothiadiazole (BTD) derivative with a high fluorescence quantum yield in solution and in the crystalline state and shows by spectroelectrochemical analysis that reversible switching of UV absorption in the neutral state, to broadband Vis/NIR absorption in the 1st oxidized state, to sharp band Vis absorption in the 2nd oxidized state, is possible. For the one-electron oxidized species, formation of a delocalized radical is confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroelectrochemistry. Furthermore, our results reveal an increasing quinoidal distortion upon the 1st and 2nd oxidation, which can be used as the leitmotif for the development of BTD based redox switches.

Two novel electron accepting bis-isatins, having fused bis-lactam rings have been synthesized from corresponding pyrroloindoles 7 and 14 by one-pot direct oxidation approach involving oxidant NBS with or without co-oxidant TBHP in DMF/CHCl3. Synthesized fused bis-isatins 8 and 15 are extensively studied for thermal, photophysical, electrochemical and thin-film morphological properties and are found to have characteristic properties like solid-solid transitions, visible light absorption, lowered FMO energy levels (LUMOs below ?4.1 eV and HOMOs below ?5.9 eV) as well as oriented packing of molecules in the film state. The famous indophenine reaction is re-visited with fused bis-isatins to form conjugated polymers P-1 and P-2, having quinoidal pyrroloindole dione units. The polymers are studied for thermal, photophysical, electrochemical and thin-film morphological properties indicating sufficiently high thermal stability (up to 200 °C), extended absorptions up to near IR region, lowered FMO energy levels (LUMOs below ?4.3 eV and HOMOs below ?5.8 eV) and amorphous nature of polymer films.

Donor-acceptor integrated ladder-type dithienopyrrolobenzothiadiazole (DTPBT)-based conjugated building blocks have been used to develop rigid conjugated polymers by copolymerizing them with synthesized ladder-type indoloquinoxaline, π-extended isoindigo and π-extended 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-based conjugated building blocks. Structural aspects of synthesized building blocks are studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which revealed the co-planar structure of indoloquinoxaline-scaffold while twisted but intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded structures of π-extended isoindigo- and 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-scaffolds with number of intermolecular non-bonding interactions. The synthesized DTPBT-based conjugated polymers P-1, P-2 and P-3 are studied for photophysical and electrochemical properties and are found to have moderate to good visible light absorptivity with HOMO energy levels below ?5.0 eV. The X-ray diffraction studies indicate strong π?π stacking interactions induced face-on arrangement of polymer chains respective to the substrate. Polymers show π?π stacks promoted high space-charge limited current (SCLC) hole mobilities ranging between 5.6 × 10?4 –1.3 × 10?3 cm2V?1s?1. The obtained SCLC hole mobility data in tandem with the studied structural aspects of monomers and morphological aspects of polymers, suggest that the combination of ladder-type DTPBT-scaffolds (capable of intermolecular π?π interactions) with non-ladder-type planar and structurally rigid π-extended conjugated scaffolds (capable of intermolecular π?π and other non-bonding interactions) is beneficial for getting good hole mobilities.

The development of models to describe structure and dynamics of nonaqueous electrolyte solutions is challenging, and experimental observations are needed to form a foundation. Here, neutron scattering is used to probe molecular dynamics in nonaqueous organic electrolytes. Two solutions were compared: One contained symmetrical electrolyte molecules prone to crystallize, and one contained desymmetrized electrolyte molecules preferring disordered states. For the latter, calorimetry and neutron data show that a disordered fluid persists to very low temperatures at high concentrations. Upon heating, localized cold crystallization occurs, leading to burst nucleation of microcrystalline solids within fluid phases. Our findings indicate molecular clustering and point to solvation inhomogeneities and molecular crowding in these concentrated fluids.

Transforming triplet excitons into singlet excitons is a topic of great interest to material scientists in order to surpass the exciton utilization efficiency (EUE) limit of 25% in electro-fluorescent devices. Towards this goal, the donor-acceptor strategy of molecular design has been proven to be an effective approach to obtain high electroluminescence (EL) efficiency. In this context, herein, we report two benzothiadiazole (BTD)-based donor-acceptor π-conjugated fluorescent molecules, 1 and 2, which exhibited an external quantum efficiency (EQE) as high as 7.0% and 8.1%, respectively, in solution-processed doped green OLED devices. The observed high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 81% for 1 and 85% for 2 corroborate the high EUE values of 43% and 48%, respectively, exceeding the traditional limit (25%), hence suggest the utilization of triplet excitons. The reported emitters combine two parameters, i.e. high PL efficiency and high EUE, which are of key importance to harvest maximum EL in OLED devices. Based on the photophysical (solvatochromic experiment) and quantum chemical calculations, the impacts of the D-π-A-π-D molecular design on the regulation of the locally excited and charge transfer components were revealed, which explained the observed high EQE (>5%) and EUE (>25%) values for the BTD-based emitters. The development of emitters with a hybrid local and charge transfer state in combination with the 'hot exciton' mechanism is an important strategy to produce highly efficient fluorescent-emitter materials. Besides the impressive EL properties of the emitters, the studied compound 1 as a chemosensor showed the selective sensing of metal cation (Fe2+) and anion (I-) together with the staining agent of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis pollen grains.
