Enhanced absorption and fluorescence efficiency of silylethynyl-functionalized oligothiophenes and thieno[3,2–b]thiopahene
摘要:
Silylethynyl-substituted oligothiophenes and thieno[3,2-b] thiophene were synthesized by the Sonogashira coupling reaction. The absorption and fluorescence maxima of these compounds shifted to longer wavelength, and they exhibited higher absorption coefficients and quantum yields than the corresponding unsubstituted molecules and tert-butylethynyl derivatives. From the DFT calculation, the energy band gap between HOMO and LUMO decreases by the introduction of a silicon atom. Thus, silyl groups can play important role in enhancing the quantum efficiency and decreasing the band-gap of chromophores. Hence, Silylethynyl group can serve as a highly efficient auxiliary for use in optical devices. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A method for preparing a conjugated microporous polymer comprises the coupling of an alkynyl aryl monomer having a plurality of terminal alkyne groups with an iodo- or bromo-aryl monomer having a plurality of halogen atoms in the presence of a palladium (0) catalyst. The conjugated microporous polymer comprises nodes comprising at least one aryl unit and struts comprising at least one alkyne unit and at least one aryl unit, wherein a node is bonded from its aryl unit or units to at least two struts via alkyne units. Such polymers are useful in numerous areas such as separations, controlled release, gas storage and supports for catalysts.
