Mesopolymers with high solubility, free of structural defects, and negligible batch-to-batch variation open a new avenue for organic optoelectronics. Organic light emitting transistors that combine the functions of organic light-emitting diodes and organic field-effect transistors. However, charge transport ability and light emitting strength are contradictory within one conjugated polymer. Herein, three low-molecular-weight mesopolymers with thienopyrroledione–benzothiadiazole repeating units (meso-TBTF) were obtained. The mesopolymers show strong solid-state emission and high ambipolar carrier mobility. The molecular weights of meso-TBTF can be tuned by polymerization temperature. The mesopolymers have photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) of about 50 % in solution and 10 % in solid state. Polymer light emitting diodes of this material are fabricated to explore its potential use in optoelectronic devices.

In this study, we obtained a new structural insight into the charge-transporting properties in TPD-based polymers that cannot be solely explained in terms of the type of orientation. We synthesized two types of copolymers comprising mono-TPD or bis-TPD as the accepting unit. Although the planarity and energy levels are similar with the mono-TPD unit, the aggregation state is quite different, and the X-aggregation tendency seems to be stronger when the bis-TPD unit is incorporated. In the case of TPD1, an effective π-πorbital overlap is found to originate from the H-aggregates, and 3D charge transport pathways are formed with a bimodal orientation of edge-on and face-on, resulting in an efficient charge transportation (1.84 cm2·V-1·s-1 of hole and 0.31 cm2·V-1·s-1 of electron). In contrast, despite the well-aligned edge-on orientation of TPD2, it exhibited a relatively very low mobility and splitted emission characteristics in photoluminescence spectra because of the tilted intermolecular stacking pattern with an X-shape (0.015 cm2·V-1·s-1 for hole and 0.16 cm2·V-1·s-1 for electron). An overall characterization of the semiconducting polymers was performed, and it was found that the type of aggregation in the final thin films, such as H- or X-aggregation, is indeed important and perhaps more important than the orientation to obtain polymers with a high charge carrier mobility.
Thienopyrimidinone Derivatives That Inhibit Bacterial tRNA (Guanine37- N1)-Methyltransferase (TrmD) by Restructuring the Active Site with a Tyrosine-Flipping Mechanism

Among the >120 modified ribonucleosides in the prokaryotic epitranscriptome, many tRNA modifications are critical to bacterial survival, which makes their synthetic enzymes ideal targets for antibiotic development. Here we performed a structure-based design of inhibitors of tRNA-(N1G37) methyltransferase, TrmD, which is an essential enzyme in many bacterial pathogens. On the basis of crystal structures of TrmDs from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we synthesized a series of thienopyrimidinone derivatives with nanomolar potency against TrmD in vitro and discovered a novel active site conformational change triggered by inhibitor binding. This tyrosine-flipping mechanism is uniquely found in P. aeruginosa TrmD and renders the enzyme inaccessible to the cofactor S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) and probably to the substrate tRNA. Biophysical and biochemical structure-activity relationship studies provided insights into the mechanisms underlying the potency of thienopyrimidinones as TrmD inhibitors, with several derivatives found to be active against Gram-positive and mycobacterial pathogens. These results lay a foundation for further development of TrmD inhibitors as antimicrobial agents.

The tRNA-(N1G37) methyltransferase (TrmD) is essential for growth and highly conserved in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Additionally, TrmD is very distinct from its human orthologue TRM5 and thus is a suitable target for the design of novel antibacterials. Screening of a collection of compound fragments using Haemophilus influenzae TrmD identified inhibitory, fused thieno-pyrimidones that were competitive with S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the physiological methyl donor substrate. Guided by X-ray cocrystal structures, fragment 1 was elaborated into a nanomolar inhibitor of a broad range of Gram-negative TrmD isozymes. These compounds demonstrated no activity against representative human SAM utilizing enzymes, PRMT1 and SET7/9. This is the first report of selective, nanomolar inhibitors of TrmD with demonstrated ability to order the TrmD lid in the absence of tRNA.

The improved synthesis of thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) monomers, including Gewald thiophene ring formation, a Sandmeyer-type reaction, and neat condensation with an amine, is presented. This protocol enables faster, cheaper, and more efficient preparation of TPD units in comparison to traditional methods. Furthermore, a series of TPD homo- and pseudohomopolymers bearing various alkyl chains was synthesized via a direct heteroarylation polymerization (DHAP) procedure. UV-visible absorption and powder X-ray diffraction measurements revealed the relationship between the ratio of branched to linear alkyl chains and the optoelectronic properties of the polymers as well as their packing in the solid state.

An efficient route for the synthesis of 1-iodo-5-octyl-4H-thieno[3,4-c] pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione as a key intermediate to build new electron-deficient monomers and related conjugated polymers is reported. Along these lines, two new low bandgap copolymers were synthesized from Stille or Suzuki coupling.
