Development of a universal chain-growth polymerization protocol of conjugated polymers: Toward a variety of all-conjugated block-copolymers

This manuscript reports a universal chain-growth polymerization protocol for conjugated polymers. Herein, the Pd-based catalyst moiety dissociates from the growing active center into the solution and therefore, the controlled chain-growth character is not relying on any specific, system-related complexation, as is the case in polymerization methods reported before. This makes the protocol applicable on a broad range of monomers and, furthermore, also allows an easy one-pot synthesis of block-copolymers by successive monomer addition. A chain-growth polymerization mechanism for poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PF) and all-conjugated block-copolymers of them is presented. Moreover, the sequence of monomer addition in the synthesis of these conjugated block-copolymers is unimportant, which is unique.

APEX Strategy Represented by Diels–Alder Cycloadditions—New Opportunities for the Syntheses of Functionalised PAHs

Diels–Alder cycloaddition of various dienophiles to the bay region of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a particularly effective and useful tool for the modification of the structure of PAHs and thereby their final properties. The Diels–Alder cycloaddition belongs to the single-step annulative π-extension (APEX) reactions and represents the maximum in synthetic efficiency for the constructions of π-extended PAHs including functionalised ones, nanographenes, and π-extended fused heteroarenes. Herein we report new applications of the APEX strategy for the synthesis of derivatives of 1,2-diarylbenzo[ghi]perylene, 1,2-diarylbenzo[ghi]perylenebisimide and 1,2-disubstituted-benzo[j]coronene. Namely, the so far unknown cycloaddition of 1,2-diarylacetylenes into the perylene and perylenebisimide bay regions was used. 1,2-Disubstituted-benzo[j]coronenes were obtained via cycloaddition of benzyne into 1,2-diarylbenzo[ghi]perylenes by using a new highly effective system for benzyne generation and/or high pressure conditions. Moreover, we report an unprecedented Diels–Alder cycloaddition–cycloaromatisation domino-type reaction between 1,4-(9,9-dialkylfluoren-3-yl)-1,3-butadiynes and perylene. The obtained diaryl-substituted core-extended PAHs were characterised by DFT calculation as well as electrochemical and spectroscopic measurements.

One-pot synthesis of benzofluorene fused aromatic hydrocarbons

A new and efficient synthetic approach for the one-pot construction of benzofluorene fused aromatic hydrocarbons was developed via a transient-directing group strategy. The palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction proceeded via consecutive arylation, cyclization and aromatization steps. Moderate to good yields along with broad functional group tolerance were achieved under mild reaction conditions.

Synthesis and photophysical properties of new perylene bisimide derivatives for application as emitting materials in OLEDs

Three novel perylene diimide derivatives with bulky aromatic moieties (fluorene, carbazolyl-fluorene, and anthracyl-fluorene) connected via triple bonds with perylene core were successfully designed and synthesized. The chemical structure of prepared compounds was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectrometry. Their optimized ground-state geometry and frontier molecular orbitals were theoretically estimated based on density functional theory. The compounds undergo the reversible electrochemical reduction process and exhibit very low energy band gaps (1.56–1.98 eV) being promising for electronic applications. They also display excellent solubility, high thermal stability and luminescence in solution and in the solid state as a film in the red spectral region. The highest photoluminescence quantum yield (79% in solution and 28% in the film) was found for perylene diimide bearing fluorene unit. All molecules showed the ability for light emission under an applied voltage. The fabricated diodes with structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/compound/Al exhibited electroluminescence with maximum emission band located between 685 and 732 nm. The most intense electroluminescence, which was additionally plasmonically enhanced by incorporating silver nanowires, was observed for the device based on molecules with anthracene structure.

4′-Phenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine derivatives-synthesis, potential application and the influence of acetylene linker on their properties

Novel derivatives of 4'-phenyl-2,2':6′,2″-terpyridine (tpy) with ethynyl (T1), 2-ethynyl-9,9-dioctylfluorene (T2), 9,9-dioctylfluorene (T3), 9-ethynyl-10-decyloxyanthracene (T4) substituents were obtained via Sonogashira or Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions, respectively, and thoroughly characterized. The presence of ethynyl bridge impacts photophysical properties of novel compounds by shifting absorption and emission spectra towards longer wavelengths as compared to T3, where fluorene is connected with tpy via a single bond. TGA measurements showed that among the new terpyridines those obtained as solids exhibited high thermal stability as opposed to those which were oils (tpy containing fluorene motif). Due to the fact that high thermal stability of 4'-phenyl-2,2':6′,2″-terpyridine derivatives showed photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (Φ) in the range of 27–84% in solution, their electroluminescence ability was tested in diodes with guest-host configuration. For the compounds dispersed in a matrix consisting of poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) (50 wt %) and (2-tert-butylphenyl-5-biphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole) (PBD) (50 wt %) radiation with maxima between 374 and 531 nm and characterized with Φ in the range of 8–12% was observed. They exhibited green or violet electroluminescence. The results confirmed the substantial role of aryl groups and the linker in the presented terpyridines in terms of their thermal, electrochemical, optical and electroluminescence properties. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were performed to provide an independent support and deeper insight into the experimental results.

Tuning the photophysical properties of N∧N Pt(II) bisacetylide complexes with fluorene moiety and its applications for triplet-triplet- annihilation based upconversion

Fluorene-containing aryl acetylide ligands were used to prepare N∧N Pt(ii) bisacetylide complexes, where aryl substituents on the fluorene are phenyl (Pt-1), naphthal (Pt-2), anthranyl (Pt-3), pyrenyl (Pt-4), 4-diphenylaminophenyl (Pt-5) and 9,9-di-n-octylfluorene (Pt-6) (where N∧N ligand = 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine, dbbpy). All the complexes show room temperature (RT) phosphorescence. The emissive T1 excited states of Pt-1, Pt-5 and Pt-6 were assigned as metal-to-ligand-charge- transfer state (3MLCT), whereas for Pt-2, Pt-3 and Pt-4, the emissive T1 excited states were identified as the intraligand state ( 3IL), based on steady state emission spectra, the lifetime of the T1 state, emission spectra at 77 K, spin density analysis and the time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. Exceptionally long lived T 1 excited state was observed for Pt-3 (τ = 66.7 μs) and Pt-4 (τ = 54.7 μs), compared to a model complex dbbpy Pt(ii) Bisphenylacetylide (τ = 1.25 μs). RT phosphorescence of anthracene was observed at 780 nm with Pt-3. The critical role of the fluorene is to move the absorption of the complexes to the red-end of the spectra, but at the same time, without compromising the energy level of the T1 state of the complexes. The advantage of this unique spectral tuning effect and the long-lived T1 excited states of Pt-4 was demonstrated by the enhanced performance of the complexes as triplet sensitizers for triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) based upconversion; an upconversion quantum yield (ΦUC) up to 22.4% was observed with Pt-4 as the sensitizer. Other complexes described herein show negligible upconversion. The high upconversion quantum yield of Pt-4 is attributed to its intense absorption of visible light and long-lived T1 excited state. Based on the result of Pt-4, we propose that weakly phosphorescent, or non-phosphorescent transition metal complexes can be used as triplet sensitizers for TTA upconversion, compared to the phosphorescent triplet sensitizers currently used for TTA upconversion. Our results will be useful for the design of transition metal complexes to enhance the light-absorption and thereafter the cascade photophysical processes, without decreasing the T1 excited state energy levels, which are important for the application of the complexes as triplet sensitizers in various photophysical processes.
