Abstract Two fluorene based linear conjugated oligomers ( P-F-P and F-P-F-P-F ) were synthesized where fluorene and phenothiazine groups arrange alternately. In comparison with P-F-P , two fluorene units are introduced into F-P-F-P-F , which could further enhance the π-conjugated system. Spectral measurements exhibit that the absorption and emission spectra of oligomers apparently red shift and the
A series of linear monodisperse vinylene-linked phenothiazine oligomers have been synthesized by alternate Heck reaction and Wittig reaction in good yields. It was found that their absorption and fluorescence emission bands red-shifted with increasing phenothiazine units due to extending of the conjugated degree. The fluorescent quantum yield increased from OPTZ1 to OPTZ6, and the Phi(F) of OPTZ6 was close to phenothiazine-based polymers. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Three new triphenylamine-based dyes with Y-shaped conformation bearing triphenylamino-vinyl, 10-octy1-10H-phenothiazine-vinyl and 9-octy1-9H-carbazole-vinyl as arms (TT, TP, and TC) have been synthesized. From electrochemical investigations it is found that they can be employed in DSSCs due to the balanced HOMO and LUMO energy levels. Notably, the photo-to-electrical conversion efficiency of the DSSCs sensitized with branched TT, TP, and TC reach 5.12%, 4.84%, and 3.63%, which are higher than that sensitized with T (2.79%), and the DSSC sensitized with TT shows higher IPCE response and better photovoltaic performances (J(sc)=12.37 mA/cm(,)(2) V-oc=0.72 V and ff=0.58) than others. These results reveal that the introduction of branched Y-shaped extended pi-conjugated donors to D-pi-A dyes cannot only enlarge the spectral response range, but also suppress the molecular aggregation on TiO2 films to a certain extent, which would enhance the performance of DSSCs.

Donor-acceptor type π-conjugated diphenylsulfone derivatives showing diverse fluorescence response to mechanical force
Two porphyrins with oligo-phenothiazine arms have been synthesized by a combination of Heck and Adler reaction, and their photophysical properties have been investigated by absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. It is found that the excitation energy transfer occurs from the phenothiazine units to the porphyrin core, and that the porphyrins can emit intense red light with high fluorescent quantum yields.
