Spiro-functionalization may narrow the emission spectra (with smaller tail at Ionger wavelengths)of fluorene homopolymers to provide purer blue emission. The thermal spectral stability of the polymers could also beimproved because of the elevation of the glass transition temperature caused by the spiro-functionalization. However, theexcimer emission in fluorene homopolymers is not suppressed by the spiro-functionalization. Alternate copolymers of 9,9-dihexylfluorene and substituted phenylenes may emit efficient blue ligh both in solution and in film. The optical propertiesare dependent on the substituion on the phenylene ring. The alkoxy-substituted polymers displayed efficient PL and EL andgood thermal spectral stability. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the polymers based on the backbone structure couldbe tuned in a wide range by attaching different functional groups on the phenylene ring. By attaching europium(III) complexat the ends of the side chains in the alternate copolymers, we have demonstrated a new approach to achieving red emissionwith a very narrow spectrum. The copolymers of 9,9-dihexylfluorene and thiophene and bithiophene with differentsubstitutions were also synthesized to study the effect of substitution and regioregularity on the optical and other physicalproperties of the polymers.展开更多

The obtained high molecular weight co-polymers with fluorene group with good solubility and good thermal stability, can be easily cast into flexible, white and non-transparent fiat films. The influence of molar ratio of BPA and BHPF on the properties of the prepared co-polymers and membranes was investigated in detail.

Pure water flux of the membranes increased from 71.87 L·m-2.h-1 to 247.65 L·m-2.h-1, while the retention of BSA decreased slightly, and the water contact angle decreased from 82.1 ° to 55.6° with the PVP concentration from 0 wt% to 10 wt%. With increasing concentration of PVP, the mechanical properties of membranes decreased, while the thermal stability increased.

The relations of these thermodynamic properties with the number and position of chlorine atoms were also explored, from which the relative stability of PCFR congeners was theoretically proposed according to the magnitude of the relative standard Gibbs free energy of formation (Δr,fGθ). The results show that the geometric configuration of PCFR isomers is determined by the position of chlorine atoms. There exist two types of intramolecular weak interactions, i.e., C–H···Cl and Cl···Cl interactions in PCFR molecules. The change of ΔfHθ and ΔfGθ of most stable PCFR isomers with increasing the number of chlorine atoms is different from that in most unstable PCFR congeners. The values of ΔfHθ and ΔfGθ for PCFR isomers with the same number of chlorine atoms strongly depend on the position of chlorine atoms and the relative stability of PCFR congeners is mainly determined by intramolecular delocalized π bond and Cl···Cl nuclear repulsive interaction.展开更多

文摘Novel poly(aryl ether sulfone ketone)s (PAESK) were synthesized from bisphenol A (BPA), 9,9'-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorene (BHPF), 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylsulfone (DCS) and 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone (DFB) via nucleophilic substitution polymerization, which were subsequently used to fabricate ultrafiltration membrane by phase-inversion method for high temperature condensed water treatment. The obtained high molecular weight co-polymers with fluorene group with good solubility and good thermal stability, can be easily cast into flexible, white and non-transparent fiat films. The influence of molar ratio of BPA and BHPF on the properties of the prepared co-polymers and membranes was investigated in detail. SEM study of the morphology of the membranes indicated that the prepared membranes possessed homogeneous pores on the top surface and were sponge-like or finger-like in cross-section. Pure water flux of the membranes increased from 71.87 L·m-2.h-1 to 247.65 L·m-2.h-1, while the retention of BSA decreased slightly, and the water contact angle decreased from 82.1 ° to 55.6° with the PVP concentration from 0 wt% to 10 wt%. With increasing concentration of PVP, the mechanical properties of membranes decreased, while the thermal stability increased. The permeate flux measurement showed that the PAESK membrane had the potential for high temperature condensed water treatment.

文摘Geometric structures of 135 polychlorinated fluorene (PCFR) molecules were optimized using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G** level and their thermodynamic properties in the ideal gas state were calculated. The relations of these thermodynamic properties with the number and position of chlorine atoms were also explored, from which the relative stability of PCFR congeners was theoretically proposed according to the magnitude of the relative standard Gibbs free energy of formation (Δr,fGθ). The results show that the geometric configuration of PCFR isomers is determined by the position of chlorine atoms. There exist two types of intramolecular weak interactions, i.e., C–H···Cl and Cl···Cl interactions in PCFR molecules. The change of ΔfHθ and ΔfGθ of most stable PCFR isomers with increasing the number of chlorine atoms is different from that in most unstable PCFR congeners. The values of ΔfHθ and ΔfGθ for PCFR isomers with the same number of chlorine atoms strongly depend on the position of chlorine atoms and the relative stability of PCFR congeners is mainly determined by intramolecular delocalized π bond and Cl···Cl nuclear repulsive interaction.

文摘Copolymers of fluorene-co-phenothiazine ( P1) and th iophene-co-phenothiazine ( P2 ) were prepared respectively by Wittig reaction. The synthesis, photo-physical and electroluminescent properties of the resulting polymers were analyzed by FT-IR, GPC, IH-NMR, UV-Vis, Photoluminescence (PL), Electroluminescence (EL) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). Their single layer devices with configuration of lTO/polymers/Ca/Al were studied. GPC results revealed the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) was 3.0×10^3 and 5.4×10^3, respectively. The device with a single layer structure of ITO/P1/Ca/Al emits green light with the maximum peak at 552nm. However, the device with a single layer structure of ITO/P2/Ca/Al emit red light with the maximum peak at 616nm.
文摘A donor-acceptor type conjugated polymer poly(5,6-bis(octyloxy)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo-[c] [1,2,5]- thiadiazole-9,9-dioctylfluorene) (POTBTF) based on octyloxy-containing benzothiadiazole (OTBT) and octyl- containing fluorine (F) was synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. The polymer possesses a narrow bandgap and strong light harvesting ability with excellent thermal stability and reasonable solubility. POTBTF exhibited a broad absorption from 300 to 600 nm with an absorption peak at 543.8 nm. The power conversion efficiency of the polymer solar cell based on POTBTF/PC71BM (1:3, w/w) reached 1.77% with a short-circuit current density of 6.69 mA/cm2, an open-circuit voltage of 0.71 V, and a fill factor of 0.374 under AM 1.5 G irradiation (100 mW/cm2) without annealing or any additives. The results indicate that introducing long alkoxy side chains into benzothiadiazole would not only improve the solubility of the polymers but also maintain the planarity of molecule conformation, and therefore, enhance the performance of photovoltaic devices.

文摘π-Electron coupling of pendant conjugated segment inπ-stacked semiconducting polymers always causes the formation of defect trapped sites and further quenched high-band excitons,which is harmful to the performance and stability of deep-blue polymer light-emitting diodes(PLEDs).Herein,considerate of“defect”carbazole(Cz)electromers in poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK),a series of fluorene units are introduced into pendant segments(PVCz-DMeF,PVCz-FMeNPh and PVCz-DFMeNPh)to suppress the strongπ-electron coupling of pendant Cz units and enhance radiative transition toward fabricating sable PLEDs.Compared to PVCz-FMeNPh and PVCz-DFMeNPh,PVCz-DMeF spin-coated films show a relatively efficient deep-blue emission,completely similar to its single pendant chromophore,confirmed an extremely weak charge-transfer and electron coupling between adjacent pendant segments.Therefore,PLEDs based on PVCz-DMeF present stable and deep-blue emission with a high color purity(0.17,0.08),associated with extremely weak defect emission at 600∼700nm(induced by carbazole electromers).Finally,PLEDs based on PVCz-DMeF/F8BT blended films(1:1)also present the high maximum luminance(Lmax)of 6261 cd/m2 and current efficiency(CE_(max))of 2.03 cd/A,confirmed slightly trapped sites formation.Therefore,precisely control the arrangement and packing model of pendant units inπ-stacked polymer is an essential prerequisite for building efficient and stable emitter for optoelectronic devices.

文摘Efficient white light emitting polymers were synthesized based on poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-dibenzothiophene- S,S-dioxide) as blue emitter and a bisphenylamine functionalized 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (DPABT) as red emitter. It was found that the incorporation of hole-transporting carbazole moiety into polymer main chain could effectively reduce the hole injection barriers, which can lead to distinctly improved charge balance in the emissive layer. Additionally, the hole- transporting carbazole units may form efficient bipolar host with electron-transporting dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide units. The white light emitting diodes based on single polymer PFSOCzDPABT showed the maximum luminous efficiency of 3.3 cd/A with the maximum luminance of 10282 cd/m2, and the luminous efficiency showed only 24% roll off at current density of 400 mA/cm2. These Commission Internationale d'Enclairage (CIE) coordinates of the devices changed slightly with the driving voltages increasing from 8 V to 12 V, and were very close to National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard white light emission of (0.33, 0.33). The results indicated that the incorporating bipolar host and low band gap DPABT unit was a promising way to achieve efficient single white light emitting copolymers.
