Alkoxysilylation of π-systems with extended conjugation—reactive chromophores for organic–inorganic hybrid materials
2004
Luminescent stilbenoid chromophores with diethoxysilane end groups are prepared via Heck reactions. Diethoxysilane-substituted styrenes are used as vinylic components, thus allowing the combined connection of the chromophore to the silane moiety with an extension of the π-system. 1,4-Distyrylbenzenes with a terminal bromine are used as coupling partners. The electrical and optical properties the four-ring OPVs are tuned via substitution with donating alkoxy side chains and electron withdrawing cyanide and a naphthyl-1,2,3-oxadiazole moiety. Hydrolysis yields film forming and luminescent cyclosiloxanes.
Ortho-Metalated Primary Amines. 6.1 The First Synthesis of Six-Membered Palladacycles from Primary Amines Containing Electron-Withdrawing Substituent…
2003
When H 2 N(CH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 4 OMe-4 (RNH 2 ) and Pd(OAc) 2 are reacted in a 2:1 molar ratio, the complex [Pd(OAC) 2 (NH 2 R) 2 ] (1) is obtained. Complex 1 reacts with 1 equiv of Pd(OAc) 2 to give the dinuclear complex [Pd(OAc)(μ-OAc)(NH 2 R)] 2 (2). When complex 2 is heated in acetonitrile at 80 °C, the ortho-metalated complex [Pd{C 6 H 3 (CH 2 ) 2 NH 2 -2-OMe-5-κ 2 C,N}(μ-OAc)] 2 (3a) is obtained. Complex 3a is also prepared by refluxing RNH 2 and Pd(OAc) 2 in a 1:1 molar ratio in acetonitrile. Complex 3a reacts with NaBr or LiCl to afford the complexes [Pd{C 6 H 3 (CH 2 ) 2 NH 2 -2-OMe-5-κ 2 C,N}(μ-X)]2 (X = Cl (3b), Br (3c)). PPh 3 splits the acetate or halide bridge in complex 3a or 3b t…
Kinetico-mechanistic studies of the acidolysis of Rh-C bonds in monocyclometallated dirhodium(II) acetato complexes; influence of electronic and ster…
2011
The protonation/demetallation reaction, in CD(3)COOD, of phosphine monometallated triacetato-bridged dirhodium(ii) complexes of general formulae [Rh(2)(μ-OOCCH(3))(3){(RC(5)CH(3))P(RC(6)H(4))(2)}(2)] has been studied from a kinetico-mechanistic perspective. The process has been monitored via the disappearance of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals of the protons present in the non-metallated ortho positions of the phosphine ligand and taking advantage of the relatively fast back metallation process that follows the acidolysis reaction, the sequence behaving as an overall equilibrium reaction. The process has a high associative character with important entropy demands, increasing both for…
CF3: An Electron-Withdrawing Substituent for Aromatic Anion Acceptors? “Side-On” versus “On-Top” Binding of Halides
2016
The ability of multiple CF3 -substituted arenes to act as acceptors for anions is investigated. The results of quantum-chemical calculations show that a high degree of trifluoromethyl substitution at the aromatic ring results in a positive quadrupole moment. However, depending on the polarizability of the anion and on the substitution at the arene, three different modes of interaction, namely Meisenheimer complex, side-on hydrogen bonding, or anion-π interaction, can occur. Experimentally, the side-on as well as a η(2) -type π-complex are observed in the crystal, whereas in solution only side-on binding is found.
Towards highly luminescent phenylene vinylene films
1996
Abstract Fluorescence and electronic absorption spectra, fluorescence decay curves and fluorescence quantum yields of a series of oligo (p-phenylene vinylenes) are investigated in solution, nanoaggregates and vapour-deposited or cast ultrathin films. The film constituting molecules are varied in chain length and modified by electron donating and withdrawing substituents and bulky alkyl spacers. PPP-MO calculations serve to rationalize the resulting spectral changes. In dilute solutions, fluorescence yields of the short oligomers with alkyl or oxyalkyl substituents approach the region of unity. The yields decrease with chain length, reaching a long-chain limit of ΦF=0.4–0.7. Introduction of …
Triarylamines connected via phenylenevinylene segments
2003
Abstract The influences of the conjugation length and of side chains with various electronic character on the electro-optical properties of oligo(phenylenevinylene)s end-capped with diphenylamino groups are investigated. Horner-Olefinations were used for the synthesis of chromophores with 3–7 rings in the conjugated system, additionally, Pd-catalysed amination of bromo-OPVs is a useful route to introduce the end groups. Compared with the “electronically neutral” alkyl side chains, electron donating ethers and, more pronounced, electron withdrawing sulfonyl side chains shift the absorption and emission spectra to longer wavelengths. The elongation of the π-system from 3 to 5 and 7 rings has …
Stilbenoid phosphors with increased electron affinity: sulfones as electron accepting groups
2001
Stilbenoid compounds are one of the preferred classes of luminescent materials for the use in light emitting diodes (LEDs). A problem connected with the use of poly(phenylenevinylene) (PPV) in LEDs is the unbalanced charge carrier transport, electron injection from aluminium and electron transport properties are only poor. The substitution with electron accepting groups like nitriles is a suitable way to lower the LUMO level of the chromophore. The electron withdrawing strength of sulfones is comparable to cyanides and the second binding site is useful to attach solubilising side chains. A two-step synthesis of model compounds and polymers from ethene and sulfonyl dibromobenzene and bromo a…
Substituent Effects on the [N-I-N](+) Halogen Bond
2016
We have investigated the influence of electron density on the three-center [N-I-N](+) halogen bond. A series of [bis(pyri din e) io dine](+) and [1,2-bis ( (pyridin e-2-71 ethynyl)b e nze n e)io dine](+) BF4- complexes substituted with electron withdrawing and donating functionalities in the para-position of their pyridine nitrogen were synthesized and studied by spectroscopic and computational methods. The systematic change of electron density of the pyridine nitrogens upon alteration of the para-substituent (NO2, CF3, H, F, Me, OMe, NMe2) was confirmed by N-15 NMR and by computation of the natural atomic population and the pi electron population of the nitrogen atoms. Formation of the [N-…
Single Event Transients and Pulse Quenching Effects in Bandgap Reference Topologies for Space Applications
2016
An architectural performance comparison of bandgap voltage reference variants, designed in a $0.18~\mu \text {m}$ CMOS process, is performed with respect to single event transients. These are commonly induced in microelectronics in the space radiation environment. Heavy ion tests (Silicon, Krypton, Xenon) are used to explore the analog single-event transients and have revealed pulse quenching mechanisms in analogue circuits. The different topologies are compared, in terms of cross-section, pulse duration and pulse amplitude. The measured results, and the explanations behind the findings, reveal important guidelines for designing analog integrated circuits, which are intended for space appli…
