The weak interaction energy become bigger as the number of hydrogen bonds increases. The donor groups on the host and electron-withdrawing groups on the vip molecules favor hydrogen bonding interactions, and the formation of hydrogen bonding leads to electron density flow from the host to the vip molecules. Electronic spectra of these complexes were computed using INDO/SCI method. Blue-shift of the clectronic absorption spectra for the complexes, comparing that of the host, takes place, and the first peaks for different complexes changed slightly. These are in agreement with the experimcntal results. The cause of blue-shift was discussed, and the electronic transitions were assigned based on theoretical calculations. The potential curve of double proton transfer in the complex was calculated, and the transition state and activated energy relative to the N H bond were obtained.展开更多

They have a wide range of applications in the fields related to tissue engineering, sensors and biomedicine. Their applications are strongly influenced by the surface properties of hydrogels and the interfacial interactions between hydrogels and other substrates. In particular, the surface wettability and adhesion of hydrogels decide their applications as drug carriers and wound dressing materials. Nevertheless, there is a lack of systematic discussion on the surface functionalization strategies of hydrogels. Therefore, this review aims at summarizing the strategies of functionalizing the surfaces of hydrogels and bonding hydrogels with other solid substrates. It also explores the challenges and future perspectives of interfacial engineering of hydrogels.展开更多

To realize well-controlling supramolecular assembly, a core-expanded naphthalene diimides derivative （1） was designed and synthesized as an n-type organic semiconductor and also as a halogen bonding （XB） donor that could form complementary XBs with 2,2-dipyridine or 2,2-bipyrimidine acceptor. The XB interactions in the solid state of 1/2,2- dipyridine and 1/2,2-bipyrimidine were confirmed by a series of characterization methods, such as thermal gravimetric analysis （TGA）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR） involving 13F NMR and solid-state 13C NMR. Organic field-effect transistors （OFETs） based on XB complexes 1/2,2-dipyridine or 1/2,2-bipyrimidine showed better device performance than that of devices based on pure 1, with the average electron mobility increased more than doubled （from 0.027cm2V-1 s-1 to 0.070cm2V-1 s-1）.展开更多
