Four new compounds of 1,3-diethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid (C8H11N2O2S, Hdetba) with Rb+, Cs+, Tl+ and NH4+ ions were prepared by Hdetba neutralization with the metal carbonates or ammonium hydroxide in aqueous solution. The colorless crystals have been investigated using X-ray diffraction techniques, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and infrared spectroscopy. The coordination compounds of MDetba with M = Rb, Cs and Tl crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121, but compound NH4Detba crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1ˉ. The MDetba structures were compared at the molecular and supramolecular levels. The Detba- ion in the NH4+ compound forms conformer (A) with two diethyl groups on one side of the ion ring, whereas the Detba- ion in the Rb(I), Cs(I) and Tl(I) compounds forms conformer (B) with two diethyl groups on different sides of the ring. The results of IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis are consistent with the X-ray data.

Recently, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ-OSCs) based on non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have made a very impressive progress in the research field. However, less attention has been paid to the intrinsic chemical and photochemical stability of NFAs, although they are correlated greatly with the resulting device stability. Herein, we describe a new molecular design strategy to enhance the intrinsic chemical and photochemical stability of acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A)-type NFAs by introducing ring-locked carbon-carbon double bonds between D-A conjugation, attributed to increased steric hindrance of nucleophilic attack and the formation of intramolecular C-H?O interactions. Based on this strategy, two types of NFAs were successfully prepared, 2-(1,1-dicyanomethylene)rhodanine-based IDT-CR and IDTT-CR and thiobarbituric acid-based IDT-CT and IDTT-CT. When blended with a wide-bandgap polymer donor (P3HT), the IDTT-CR-based solar cells can exhibit a PCE of 2.86%. Moreover, a much enhanced PCE of 6.13% was realized by adopting a low-bandgap polymer donor PTB7-Th to pair with IDTT-CT. The fabricated PTB7-Th:IDTT-CT-based OSCs showed very encouraging photostability, the PCE of which could retain >80% of the initial values after 200 h one sun irradiation in air without a UV filter. Such photostability performance has greatly outperformed those from conventional NFAs like ITIC, IT-4F, and IT-M, suggesting the effectiveness of our ring-locking design strategy. Moreover, PTB7-Th:IDTT-CT-based OSCs could retain ～70% of its initial PCE after heating at 85 °C for 100 h. Furthermore, we reported an inferior device stability for P3HT:IDTT-CR based OSCs, which is primarily attributed to the evolution of BHJ film morphology under light illumination.

A series of novel thio- and seleno-barbituric acid derivatives were synthesized by varying the substituents at N1 and N3 (ethyl, methyl, allyl, and phenyl), and C5 tethered with dienyl and trienyl moieties attached to substituents such as phenyl, 2-furanyl, 2-thiophenyl, 1-naphthyl, and 3-pyridyl. The cytotoxic potential of these derivatives was evaluated by using MTT assay against melanoma cell lines expressing either wild-type (CHL-1) or mutant (UACC 903) BRAF gene. Among all, 2b and 8b were identified as the most potent compounds. Both 2b and 8b inhibited viability of various melanoma cells and induced cell death as evidenced by Live and Dead assay. Western blot analysis showed that they induce PARP cleavage and inhibit anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Survivin in a dose-dependent manner within 24 h of the treatment. Novel thiobarbituric acid analogs also inhibited viability of various other solid tumor cell lines, such as pancreatic, breast, and colon. Overall, 2b, 2d, and 8b emerged as the most effective compounds and make good leads for the development of future therapeutic agents.
