Azomethine (C=N) and azo (N=N) scaffolds are a part of structural units in poly(p-phenylene azomethine) (PAM) azo) (PAZ), respectively. Poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) is known to be one luminescent π-conjugated polymers, meanwhile PAM PAZ, which the aza-substituted PPV analogues, regarded as weak or no emissive materials. However, by boron complexation, intense emission can induced. Furthermo...

Nanographite-like lamellae are obtained by the self-assembly of rectangular OPE amphiphiles peripherally decorated with polar and paraffinic chains.

Increasing the number of meso-methine carbons porphyrin has led to a creation series vinylogous expanded porphyrins, while introduction an ortho-phenylene-unit as pyrrole-connecting two-carbon bridge usually leads prevention effective macrocyclic conjugation. Cyclopentene can serve conjugative increase conjugation owing its cis-geometry. In this work, ortho-phenylene-cyclopentene-bridged tetrap...

Twelve novel intrinsically colored wholly aromatic azopolyamide-hydrazides containing various proportions of para- and meta-phenylene units were successfully synthesized by a low temperature (-10 °C) solution polycondensation reaction of either 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzhydrazide (4A3HBH) or 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzhydrazide (3A4HBH) with an equimolar amount of either 4,4'-azodibenzoyl chloride (4,4'AD...

Binding studies between the electron accepting host cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) and a series of electron donors in the presence of differently sized counteranions reveal that both the nature and the concentration of the anion have a large impact on the association strength of the resulting host-guest complex.

The synthesis and characterization of a set of conjugated polymers, poly(1,4-phenylene-ethynylene)-alt-poly(1,4-phenylene-vinylene)s (PPE-PPVs), with a dissymmetrical configuration (partial or total) of alkoxy side chains is reported. Five new polymers bearing octyloxy and/or octadecyloxy side chains at the phenylene-ethynylene and phenylene-vinylene segments, respectively, were obtained. Two s...

We use a combination of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) and approximate Coupled Cluster Theory (RI-CC2) to compare trends in the optical gap and fluorescence energies of ortho-, meta- and para-oligomers of phenylene. We find that RI-CC2 and TD-DFT calculations using three different commonly employed XC-potentials (B3LYP, BHLYP and CAM-B3LYP) generally give consistent predictio...

A highly efficient recognition phenomenon was observed between alkoxylated arylene-ethynylene macrocycles bearing identical side chains but different core size, which is based on van der Waals interactions between alkoxy chains. The ratio of both molecules and the environment of each molecule have been statistically analyzed to quantify the recognition efficiency.
