Construction of divergent anthracene arrays within dendritic frameworks
摘要:
This publication presents simple methodologies for construction of divergent anthracene arrays either within structural interior or at peripheral positions of dendritic frameworks. The synthetic approaches employed multiple coupling reactions between two types of 10-functionalized 9-anthryl chlorides and two types of polyphenolic linkers, resulting in four types of dendritic architectures. Successful implementation of the syntheses was confirmed by a range of spectroscopies along with elemental analyses and size exclusion chromatography studies. The resulting dendritic molecules showed a range Of Solubilities in chloroform fairly affected by the dendritic backbone structures. Fluorescence spectroscopic experiments of the multichromophoric dendritic systems indicated pronounced energy delocalization functionalities via an energy migration within the branched molecular frameworks as expressed in reduced fluorescence quantum yields and complex emission decay profiles.

In this publication, we describe results of investigations focusing on detailed mechanisms of directed energy transfer in perylene-cored anthracene dendrimers. To obtain definitive statistical data for probing the energy transfer pathways, we synthesized four analogous dendrimers, which were designed to funnel the energy only from remote anthracene groups to the perylene cores. Static fluorescence studies with these dendrimers revealed that excitation of the anthracene groups led to the core emissions, indicating efficient energy transfer should be involved. Inspection of the energy transfer efficiencies obtained from all ten dendrimers demonstrated that single-step energy transfer should represent a key mechanism for the long-range energy transport in these dendrimers.
Silane-crosslinkable polymeric compositions comprising a polyolefin having hydrolyzable silane groups, an acidic silanol condensation catalyst, and a phenolic antioxidant having at least one ester-containing moiety. Such crosslinkable polymeric compositions can be employed in various articles of manufacture, such as in the wire and cable industry.
