Photochromic 1,2-dithienylethene (DTE) derivatives with a high thermal stability and fatigue resistance are appealing for optical switching of fluorescence. Here, we introduce a donor-photochromic bridge-acceptor tetraphenylethene-dithienylethene-perylenemonoimide (TPE-DTE-PMI) triad, in which TPE acts as the electron donor, PMI as the electron acceptor, and DTE as the photochromic bridge. In this system, the localized and intramolecular charge transfer emission of TPE-DTE-PMI with various Stokes shifts have been observed due to the photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer in different solvents. Upon UV irradiation, the fluorescence quenching resulting from photochromic fluorescence resonance energy transfer in TPE-DTE-PMI has been demonstrated in solution and in solid films. The fluorescence on/off switching ratio in polymethylacrylate film exceeds 100, a value much higher than in polymethylmethacrylate film, thus indicating that the fluorescence switching is dependent on matrices.

The synthesis, structural and mesomorphic characterization of new pyridine-based methyl esters carrying a n-alkoxy chain or 3,7-Dimethyloctyloxy branched group at terminal have been presented. The liquid crystalline properties of the new pyridine-based calamitic molecules have been investigated by polarized optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. New compounds exhibit enantiotropic smectic A mesophase at a variable mesomorphic range depending on alkoxy chain length and branching at terminal. The presence of a branched terminal group in chiral or racemic form gives rise to a sharply increase in mesomorphic range as well as decrease in crystallization points by preserving mesophase type.

A series of linear-conjugated small molecule compounds featured with the acceptor-donor-acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A-D-A) structure were designed, synthesized and characterized. The films of the compounds showed a broad UV-Vis absorption range of 300-800 nm with high molar absorption coefficient of more than 1.0 × 104 cm-1. Their hole-mobility can be as high as 1.0 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1. The compounds have a compatible HOMO energy level of -5.0 eV to PC71BM and a high solubility up to 20 mg mL-1 in chloroform. Therefore, compounds can blend with PC71BM in the chloroform and form an active layer for a photovoltaic cell device by spin-coating of the blend solution. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 3.2% was achieved with the DERH3TT solar cell device. These results indicate that the A-D-A-D-A small molecules with electron-withdrawing dyes as terminals are promising candidates for the high efficiency solution processed organic photovoltaic cells.

Liquid crystalline behavior of tetraaryl derivatives of benzo[c]cinnoline, tetraazapyrene, phenanthrene, and pyrene: The effect of heteroatom and substitution pattern on phase stability

A series of closely related tetrasubstituted derivatives of benzo[c]cinnoline (1), tetraazapyrene (2), phenanthrene (3), and pyrene (4) were investigated for their mesogenic properties using thermal, optical, spectroscopic, and powder XRD analyses. Only three 3,4-dioctyloxyphenyl derivatives exhibited mesogenic properties. Substitution of N for CH (3 → 1 and 4 → 2 pairs) and also increase of the core element size (1 → 2 and 3 → 4 pairs) significantly increases the mesophase stability. The findings and observed trends were rationalized by analysis of conformational properties which included calculation of the planarization energy, and modeling of aliphatic chain density and fill fractions. MO calculations showed that the tetraaza derivative 2c is significantly electron deficient and suitable for electron conductive materials. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

A new series of laterally substituted terphenyl compounds, 4,4 -dialkoxy-2'-methyl-p-terphenyls (n = 1-12), were synthesized. Their liquid crystallinities were characterized by means of polarizing optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray difraction (XRD). The influence of the length of the terminal alkoxy groups on the liquid crystalline behavior was investigated. It was found that the compounds with shorter end chains (n a smectic A mesophase is exhibited for those with longer end chains (9 = n = 12).
