Remarkable Influence of Phenyl/Arylethynylation on the Photochromism of 2,2-Diphenylbenzopyrans (Chromenes)

Phenyl/arylethynylation of 2,2-diphenylbenzopyrans (i.e., chromenes) permits modulation of the spectral properties of photogenerated colored o-quinonoid intermediates, and brings about remarkable stabilization of the latter, rendering the phenomenon of ph

Broadband visible light-absorbing [70]fullerene-BODIPY-triphenylamine triad: Synthesis and application as heavy atom-free organic triplet photosensitizer for photooxidation

A broadband visible light-absorbing [70]fullerene-BODIPY-triphenylamine triad (C70-B-T) has been synthesized and applied as a heavy atom-free organic triplet photosensitizer for photooxidation. By attaching two triphenylmethyl amine units (TPAs) to the -core of BODIPY via ethynyl linkers, the absorption range of the antenna is extended to 700 nm with a peak at 600 nm. Thus, the absorption spectrum of C70-B-T almost covers the entire UV-visible region (270-700 nm). The photophysical processes are investigated by means of steady-state and transient spectroscopies. Upon photoexcitation at 339 nm, an efficient energy transfer (ET) from TPA to BODIPY occurs both in C70-B-T and B-T, resulting in the appearance of the BODIPY emission at 664 nm. Direct or indirect (via ET) excitation of the BODIPY-part of C70-B-T is followed by photoinduced ET from the antenna to C70, thus the singlet excited state of C70 (1C70 *) is populated. Subsequently, the triplet excited state of C70 (3C70 *) is produced via the intrinsic intersystem crossing of C70. The photooxidation ability of C70-B-T was studied using 1,5-dihydroxy naphthalene (DHN) as a chemical sensor. The photooxidation efficiency of C70-B-T is higher than that of the individual components of C70-1 and B-T, and even higher than that of methylene blue (MB). The photooxidation rate constant of C70-B-T is 1.47 and 1.51 times as that of C70-1 and MB, respectively. The results indicate that the C70-antenna systems can be used as another structure motif for a heavy atom-free organic triplet photosensitizer.

Enediyne as π linker in D-π-A dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells

Three Donor-π-Acceptor (D-π-A) type dyes, with triphenylamine (TPA) as electronic donor, enediyne (EDY) moiety as π linker and cyanoacrylic acid as both electronic acceptor and anchoring group, were designed and synthesized. These EDY-bridged dyes with di

Rational Design and Facile Synthesis of Dual-State Emission Fluorophores: Expanding Functionality for the Sensitive Detection of Nitroaromatic Compounds

Six novel benzimidazole-based D-π-A compounds 4 a–4 f were concisely synthesized by attaching different donor/acceptor units to the skeleton of 1,3-bis(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene on its 5-position through an ethynyl link. Due to the twisted conformation and effective conjugation structure, these dual-state emission (DSE) molecules show intense and multifarious photoluminescence, and their fluorescence quantum yields in solution and solid state can be up to 96.16 and 69.82 %, respectively. Especially, for excellent photostability, obvious solvatofluorochromic and extraordinary wide range of solvent compatibility, DSE molecule 4 a is a multifunctional fluorescent probe for the visual detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) with the limit of detection as low as 10?7 M. The quenching mechanism has been proved as the results of photoinduced electron transfer and fluorescence resonance energy transfer processes. Importantly, probe 4 a can sensitively detect NACs not only in real water samples, but also on 4 a-coated strips and 4 a@PBAT thin films.

Metallated Graphynes as a New Class of Photofunctional 2D Organometallic Nanosheets

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are attracting much attention due to their excellent electronic and optical properties. Here, we report the first experimental preparation of two free-standing mercurated graphyne nanosheets via the interface-assisted bottom-up method, which integrates both the advantages of metal center and graphyne. The continuous large-area nanosheets derived from the chemical growth show the layered molecular structural arrangement, controllable thickness and enhanced π-conjugation, which result in their stable and outstanding broadband nonlinear saturable absorption (SA) properties (at both 532 and 1064 nm). The passively Q-switched (PQS) performances of these two nanosheets as the saturable absorbers are comparable to or higher than those of the state-of-the-art 2D nanomaterials (such as graphene, black phosphorus, MoS2, γ-graphyne, etc.). Our results illustrate that the two metallated graphynes could act not only as a new class of 2D carbon-rich materials, but also as inexpensive and easily available optoelectronic materials for device fabrication.

Multi-fold Sonogashira coupling: A new and convenient approach to obtain tetraalkynyl anthracenes with tunable photophysical properties

For the first time, a direct single-step one-pot route to access nine new symmetric tetraalkynylated anthracenes via Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2/cataCXiumA catalyzed tetra-fold Sonogashira coupling is reported. Five of these tetraalkynylated anthracenes have been crystallographically characterized, with two of them exhibiting multiple interactions that significantly shorten the inter-planar distances in the solid-state structure. The rich photophysical properties exhibited by these molecules hold immense promise for future applications in sensors and optoelectronic devices. Two of the considered tetraalkynylated anthracenes comprising a D-π-A-π-D motif demonstrate solvatochromism and halochromism, with one of them showing a low bandgap of 1.79 eV. The remaining compounds demonstrate bandgaps in the range of 1.79-2.04 eV.

Direct iodination of electron-deficient benzothiazoles: Rapid access to two-photon absorbing fluorophores with quadrupolar D-π-A-π-D architecture and tunable heteroaromatic core

Direct iodination of benzothiazoles under strong oxidative/acidic conditions leads to a mixture of iodinated heteroarenes with 1-2 major components, which are easily separable and which structures depend on the I2 equivalents used. Among the unexpected bu

Oxidative C-H Homocoupling of Push-Pull Benzothiazoles: An Atom-Economical Route to Highly Emissive Quadrupolar Arylamine-Functionalized 2,2′-Bibenzothiazoles with Enhanced Two-Photon Absorption

Copper(II)-catalyzed C-H/C-H coupling of dipolar 2-H-benzothiazoles end-capped with triphenylamine moieties affords highly fluorescent 2,2′-bibenzothiazoles with quadrupolar (D-π-A-π-D) architecture displaying large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections (543-1252 GM) in the near-infrared region. The notably higher TPA performance as compared to quadrupolar π-systems with a widely used 2,2′-bipyridine core, along with the ease of the synthesis and chelating N^N ability, makes the title biheteroaryl platform an attractive building block for a large scope of functional dyes exploiting nonlinear optical phenomena.

Are alkynyl spacers in ancillary ligands in heteroleptic bis(diimine)copper(I) dyes beneficial for dye performance in dye-sensitized solar cells?

The syntheses of 4,40-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6,60-dimethyl-2,20-bipyridine (1), 4,40-bis(4-dimethylaminophenylethynyl)-6,60-dimethyl-2,20-bipyridine (2), 4,40-bis(4-diphenylaminophenyl)-6,60-dimethyl-2,20-bipyridine (3), and 4,40-bis(4-diphenylaminophenylethynyl)-6,60-dimethyl-2,20-bipyridine (4) are reported along with the preparations and characterisations of their homoleptic copper(I) complexes [CuL2][PF6] (L = 1-4). The solution absorption spectra of the complexes exhibit ligand-centred absorptions in addition to absorptions in the visible region assigned to a combination of intra-ligand and metal-to-ligand charge-transfer. Heteroleptic [Cu(5)(Lancillary)]+ dyes in which 5 is the anchoring ligand ((6,60-dimethyl-[2,20-bipyridine]-4,40-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(phosphonic acid) and Lancillary = 1-4 have been assembled on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)-TiO2 electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Performance parameters and external quantum efficiency (EQE) spectra of the DSCs (four fully-masked cells for each dye) reveal that the best performing dyes are [Cu(5)(1)]+ and [Cu(5)(3)]+. The alkynyl spacers are not beneficial, leading to a decrease in the short-circuit current density (JSC), confirmed by lower values of EQEmax. Addition of a co-absorbent (n-decylphosphonic acid) to [Cu(5)(1)]+ lead to no significant enhancement of performance for DSCs sensitized with [Cu(5)(1)]+. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been used to investigate the interfaces in DSCs; the analysis shows that more favourable electron injection into TiO2 is observed for sensitizers without the alkynyl spacer and confirms higher JSC values for [Cu(5)(1)]+,.
