Regiocontroled Pd-catalysed C5-arylation of 3-substituted thiophene derivatives using a bromo-substituent as blocking group

The use of a bromo-substituent as blocking group at the C2-position of 3-substituted thiophenes allows the regioselective introduction of aryl substituents at C5-position via Pd-catalysed direct arylation. With 1 mol % of a phosphine-free Pd catalyst, KOAc as the base and DMA as the solvent and various electron-deficient aryl bromides as aryl sources, C5-(hetero)arylated thiophenes were synthesized in moderate to high yields, without cleavage of the thienyl C-Br bond. Moreover, sequential direct thienyl C5-arylation followed by Pd-catalysed direct arylation or Suzuki coupling at the C2-position allows to prepare 2,5-di(hetero)arylated thiophenes bearing two different (hetero)aryl units in only two steps. This method provides a green access to arylated thiophene derivatives as it reduces the number of steps to prepare these compounds and also the formation of wastes.

Carbazole co-sensitization agent with phenyl taken as terminal bridge chain and preparation method thereof

The invention discloses a carbazole co-sensitization agent with phenyl taken as a terminal bridge chain and a preparation method thereof. The structural formula of the co-sensitization agent is represented in the description, in the structural formula, R represents a C1-C10 alkyl group, and X represent oxygen or sulfur. After the co-sensitization agent and a ruthenium dye (N719) are co-sensitized;the short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage are increased; one aspect, the provided co-sensitization agent can enlarge the absorption band range of a dye-sensitized solar cell, thus the short-circuit current is increased; on the other hand, the co-sensitization agent can inhibit the compounding between electrons and electrolyte, and the open-circuit voltage is increased. The short-circuitcurrent and open-circuit voltage are increased at the same time, and thus the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a ruthenium dye (N719) sensitized solar cell is further improved. The preparation method is simple, the cost is low, and the application prospect is wide.

Dipolar NLO Chromophores Bearing Diazine Rings as π-Conjugated Linkers

The synthesis of a series of push-pull derivatives bearing triphenylamine electron-donating group, cyclopenta[c]thiophen-4,6-dione electron acceptor and various π-linkers including (hetero)aromatic fragments is reported. All target chromophores with systematically varied π-linker structure were further investigated by electrochemistry, absorption measurements, and EFISH experiments in conjunction with DFT calculations. Based on electrochemical and photophysical measurements, when a polarizable 2,5-thienylene moiety is embedded into the chromophore π-backbone the highest intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is observed. Benzene, pyrimidine, and pyridazine derivatives exhibit lower polarizability and extent of the ICT across these π-linkers. The elongation of the π-conjugated system via additional ethenylene linker results in a significant reduction of the HOMO-LUMO gap and an enhancement of the NLO response. Whereas it does not significantly influence electrochemical and linear optical properties, the orientation of the pyrimidine ring seems to be a key parameter on the μβ value due to significant variation of the dipolar moment (μ) value. In 2a and 2c, pyrimidine is oriented to behave as an acceptor and thus generate dipolar molecule with μ above 5 D, whereas in 2b and 2d ground state dipole moment is significantly reduced. This study seems to indicate a high aromaticity of pyrimidine and pyridazine derivatives, close to the benzene analogues and significantly higher than thiophene analogues.

Antimalarials with benzothiophene moieties as aminoquinoline partners

Malaria is a severe and life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites that are spread to humans through bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Here, we report on the efficacy of aminoquinolines coupled to benzothiophene and thiophene rings in inhibiting Plasmodium falciparum parasite growth. Synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimalarial activity and toxicity, in vitro and in mice. Benzothiophenes presented in this paper showed improved activities against a chloroquine susceptible (CQS) strain, with potencies of IC50 = 6 nM, and cured 5/5 Plasmodium berghei infected mice when dosed orally at 160 mg/kg/day x 3 days. In the benzothiophene series, the examined antiplasmodials were more active against the CQS strain D6, than against strains chloroquine resistant (CQR) W2 and multidrug-resistant (MDR) TM91C235. For the thiophene series, a very interesting feature was revealed: hypersensitivity to the CQR strains, resistance index (RI) of 1. This is in sharp contrast to chloroquine, indicating that further development of the series would provide us with more potent antimalarials against CQR strains.

End-Capping Groups for Small-Molecule Organic Semiconducting Materials: Synthetic Investigation and Photovoltaic Applications through Direct C–H (Hetero)arylation

A Pd-catalyzed C–H (hetero)arylation methodology has been optimized for the efficient synthesis of various useful end-capping groups that are widely applied in small-molecule optoelectronic materials. We report herein the synthesis of a broad scope of target molecules ranging from donor-type through acceptor-type to hybrid-type end-capping groups. To demonstrate their application in dye-sensitized solar cells, we have designed two new D–A–π–A′-type organic sensitizers (CYL-3 and CYL-4), which were synthesized in a step-economic manner by sequential C–H arylations using the facilely obtained end-capping groups. The devices based on CYL-3 and CYL-4 give Vocvalues of 0.67–0.71 V, Jscvalues of 10.07–11.63 mA cm–2, and FF values of 70.6–72.9 %, which correspond to overall power conversion efficiencies of 4.76–6.02 %. This work is expected to become a practical synthetic alternative allowing materials scientists to access small-molecule organic materials in fewer synthetic transformations.

Fluorine-thiophene-substituted organic dyes for dye sensitized solar cells

Novel triphenylamine (TPA)-based organic dyes were synthesized and assessed for their performance in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In the dyes considered the TPA group and the cyanoacetic acid have the role of electron-donor and -acceptor, respectively, whereas a thienyl-fluoro-phenyl- substituted was introduced as π-linker to improve the dye performance in DSSCs. Experimental characterizations empasize that the presence of electron withdrawing substituents in the linker close to the electron-acceptor moiety leads to a more efficient intramolecular photoinduced charge transfer. In fact, photovoltaic experiments reveal that the DSSCs based on the thienyl-o-fluoro- phenyl substituted dyes yield a better solar-energy-to-electricity conversion efficiency.

Synthesis and photovoltaic properties of new metalloporphyrin-containing polyplatinyne polymers

Three new solution-processable platinum(II) polyyne polymers containing zinc(II) porphyrinate chromophores P1, P2, and P3 and their corresponding dinuclear model complexes were synthesized via the CuI-catalyzed dehydrohalogenation reaction of the platinum(II) chloride precursor and each of the respective bis(ethynyl)-zinc(porphyrin) metalloligands. The thermal, photophysical (absorption, excitation and emission spectra), electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties of P1-P3 were investigated. These results are also correlated by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. The computations corroborate the presence of moderate conjugation in the π-systems, somewhat more accentuated for P3 where more favorable dihedral angles between the porphyrin and thiophene rings are noted. Moreover, the computed excited states are predicted to be π-π* in nature with some charge transfer components from the trans-[-C≡CPt(L)2C≡ C-]n unit to the porphyrin rings. The optical bandgaps range from 1.93 to 2.02 eV for P1-P3. Intense π-π*-localized fluorescence emissions typical of the Q-bands of the polymers were observed. The effect of thiophene ring along the polymer chain on the extent of π-conjugation, luminescent and photovoltaic properties of these metalated materials was also examined. Bulk heterojunction solar cells using these metallopolymers as an electron donor blended with a methanofullerene electron acceptor were studied. In one case, the metallopolymer P3 showed a power conversion efficiency of 1.04% with the open-circuit voltage of 0.77 V, short-circuit current density of 3.42 mA cm-2 and fill factor of 0.39 under illumination of an AM 1.5 solar cell simulator.
