Usage

General Description

2,5-Dibromo-1,4-benzenedimethanol, also known as DBDMH, is an organic compound with the formula C8H8Br2O2. It is a white, crystalline solid that is commonly used as a disinfectant and biocide in water treatment, swimming pools, and industrial cooling systems. DBDMH is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and it works by releasing hypobromous acid, a powerful oxidizing agent that disrupts the cellular membranes of these organisms. It is considered to be a stable and long-lasting disinfectant, and it is also used as a flame retardant in some applications. However, it is important to handle DBDMH with care, as it is toxic if ingested or inhaled and can cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

Layered morphology of poly(phenylene)s in thin films induced by substitution of well-defined poly(ε-caprolactone) side chains

Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based macromonomers and the corresponding substituted polyphenylene polymers have been synthesized in various chemical structures. The effect of chemical structure and the crystallization of PCL on the resulting morphology in thin films have been investigated. PCL macromonomers containing the central 2,5-dibromo-1,4-phenylene moiety were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Poly(phenylene) polymers were then synthesized by cross-coupling of the PCL macromonomers in Yamamato polycondensation reactions. Thin films of macromonomers and polymers were prepared by spin-coating on silicon substrates, and the resulting morphology in thin films was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Substitution of semicrystalline PCL side chains to the rigid poly(phenylene) backbone induced layered morphology in thin films. Our results indicate that increasing backbone rigidity causes grafted PCL side blocks to crystallize in better-defined layered structures parallel to the underlying substrate. Such layering was not observed when polystyrene (PSt) or poly(2-methyloxazoline) (POx) polymers were grafted to the rigid poly(phenylene) backbone. Hindering PCL crystallization by attaching PSt or POx to the end of PCL also prevented the formation of layered structures.

Synthesis and excited-state properties of an oligophenylenevinylene heptamer substituted with two fullerene moieties

An oligophenylenevinylene (OPV) derivative substituted with two fullerene subunits has been prepared starting from a fullerene carboxylic acid derivative and an OPV heptamer bearing two alcohol functions. Photophysical investigations have revealed the occurrence of intramolecular photoinduced energy- and electron-transfer processes in this hybrid compound. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
