Despite significant advances in single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) synthesis and purification strategies, the separation of metallic and semiconducting SWNTs on a large scale remains a barrier to the realization of many commercial applications. Selective extraction of specific SWNT types by wrapping and dispersion with conjugated polymers has been found effective for semiconducting SWNTs, but structural parameters that dictate selectivity are poorly understood. Here, we report nanotube dispersions with two structurally similar conjugated copolymers, both being poly(fluorene-co-phenylene) derivatives, having comparable degrees of polymerization but differing in the extent of electron donation from functional groups on the phenylene comonomers. It is found that copolymers decorated with electron donating methoxy functionalities lead to predominant dispersion of semiconducting SWNTs, while copolymers decorated with electron withdrawing nitro functionalities bias the dispersion toward metallic SWNTs. Differentiation of semiconducting and metallic SWNT populations was carried out by a combination of UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy using multiple excitation wavelengths, and fluorescence spectroscopy. These results provide new insight into polymer design features that dictate preferential dispersion of specific SWNT types.

Paragraph 0035; 0039, (2019/10/29)
The invention discloses a synthesis method of an aromatic nitro-compound. The synthesis method is characterized in that the aromatic nitro-compound is obtained by taking an aromatic amino-compound asa raw material and performing an oxidation reaction on the aromatic amino-compound and peroxytrifluoroacetic acid. The target aromatic nitro-compound is obtained by taking the aromatic amino-compoundas the raw material and performing the oxidation reaction on the aromatic amino-compound and peroxytrifluoroacetic acid; the synthesis method is high in yield, wide in application range, simple in operation and little in environmental pollution, therefore, the synthesis method is a good and ideal method for preparing the aromatic nitro-compound.
Synthesis of terphenyl oligomers as molecular electronic device candidates
Maya, Francisco,Tour, James M.
, p. 81 - 92 (2007/10/03)
Six functionalized bis(phenylene ethynylene)-p,p-terphenyls (BPETs) have been synthesized as potential molecular electronic devices. The molecules containing mono- and dinitro terphenyl cores, were rationally designed based on the electronic properties recently found in oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s (OPEs). From our understanding of the conductance properties in OPEs, improvement of electronic properties may be possible by using BPETs due to a higher rotational barrier between the central aromatic rings of the compounds prepared here. BPETs cores were functionalized with nitro groups and with different metallic adhesion moieties (alligator clips) to provide new compounds for testing in the nanopore and planar testbed structures.
