Preparation of 4,4-Diaryl-2-(tricyanoethenyl)dithienosiloles and Vapor-Chromic Behavior of the Film
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Reactions of 4,4-diphenyl- and 4,4-di(p-tolyl)dithienosilole with tetracyanoethene (TCNE) in DMF gave coupling products 4,4-diphenyl- and 4,4-di(p-tolyl)-2-(tricycanoethenyl)dithienosilole (1a and 1b) in good yield. The films of 1b exhibited vapor-chromism, and the color of the film changed from red to blue-purple upon exposure to the vapor of organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, acetone, and hexane. The color reverted to the original red upon contact with chloroform vapor, indicating that this process is reversible.
A series of dithienosilole derivatives were synthesized and some of their properties were investigated. UV spectra of dithienosiloles show absorption bands around 350 nm and their cyclic voltammograms display oxidation peaks at about 1.2 V vs. SCE. Nickel-catalyzed coupling of 2,6-dibromodithienosilole with the diGrignard reagent prepared from bis(5-bromothienyl)tetraethyldisilane afforded an alternating polymer composed of a 2,6-dithienyldithienosilole system and tetraethyldisilanylene unit. When the polymer film was doped with FeCl3 vapor, the film became conducting with the maximum conductivity of 7.0 x 10(-3) S/cm. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.

Three new organic dyes that contain the dithienosilole (DTS) moiety as spacer have been synthesized and their photophysical/electrochemical properties, theoretical calculation and dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) performance have been investigated. The overall conversion efficiencies for DSSCs based on these dyes range from 6.73 to 7.50%, comparable to a (3–5′-[N,N-bis(9,9-dimethylfluorene-2-yl)phenyl]2,2′-bithiophene-5-yl}-2-cyanoacrylic acid (JK-2)-sensitized device (7.63%), fabricated and measured under the same experimental conditions. The DSSC constructed from one of the three compounds shows a higher open-circuit voltage (VOC) compared to those of the other two dye sensitized solar cells due to an increased electron lifetime (τe) in the conduction band of TiO2.
