Here, we present an approach to generate materials with programmable thermochromic transition temperatures (TTTs), based on the reversible microcrystallization of anthraquinone dyes with the assistance of blended Pluronic block copolymers. At temperatures above block copolymer critical micellization temperature (CMT), hydrophobic anthraquinone dyes, including Sudan blue II, were dispersed in co...

In Venezuela, lethal control of wintering Dickcissels (Spiza americana) is considered a threat to the species survival. To help farmers protect their rice and sorghum crops from depredations by Dickcissels and to minimize the killing of large numbers of these birds, alternative non-lethal crop protectionmeasures are needed. To that end, the responses of captive Dickcissels to three bird-repelle...

Carbon fibres with redox-active surface functionalities have shown potential applications in environmental remediation, and as burgeoning materials for structural batteries super capacitors. In this work we describe the tethering of anthraquinone, capable a reversible 2 electron transfer aqueous medium, to carbon fibre surface, corresponding effect on interfacial adhesion. The anthraquinone alo...

Proton ejection during Coulomb explosion is studied for several structure-related organic molecules anthracene, anthraquinone, and octahydroanthracene subjected to 800 nm, 60 fs laser pulses at intensities from 0.50 to 4.

Two polymorphs of an anthraquinone-nitronylnitroxide radical, AntQNN, were isolated, both with antiferromagnetic (AFM) exchange attributed to chain-type inter-radical contacts: one with J1D/k ≈ -3 K, and one with J1D/k ≈ -17 K.

An anthraquinone-based fluorescent quencher is described that is applicable to fluorophores throughout the visible spectrum and into the near IR. This species has been used to construct a palate of multicolour sensors of proteolysis and photolysis.

New anthraquinone derivatives were prepared and used as active layers of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs); these devices showed good n-type characteristics and the quinones were found to be useful for organic semiconductors in OFETs.
