Photostable coumarin containing azo dyes with multifunctional property
摘要： A series five coumarin azo disperse dyes with thiophene bridge are synthesized using diazotized aniline derivatives which are confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and CHN analysis. The dyes are applied on polyester and nylon material. The multifunctional properties (lightfastness, washing fastness, sublimation fastness, K/S, UPF, and antimicrobial activity) of the dyed fabric are determined. The dye 3a (-NO2) show red shifted absorption (649 nm) and blocking 95.5-97.4% of UV radiations with 96% antimicrobial property. The geometries of all the azo dyes are optimized using Density Functional Theory (DFT). The Global Reactivity Descriptors (GRD) are evaluated at the same method of theory. The GRD obtained shows a linear relation with lightfastness and UPF ratings. The antimicrobial activity of all synthesized dyes are determined by AATCC 100 test method and it is correlated with the HOMO-LUMO energy band gap.

Long-Range Activationless Photostimulated Charge Transport in Symmetric Molecular Junctions
摘要： Molecular electronic junctions consisting of nitroazobenzene oligomers covalently bonded to a conducting carbon surface using an established 'all-carbon' device design were illuminated with UV?vis light through a partially transparent top electrode. Monitoring junction conductance with a DC bias imposed permitted observation of photocurrents while varying the incident wavelength, intensity, molecular layer thickness, and temperature. The photocurrent spectrum tracked the in situ absorption spectrum of nitroazobenzene, increased linearly with light intensity, and depended exponentially on applied bias. The electronic characteristics of the photocurrent differed dramatically from those of the same device in the dark, with orders of magnitude higher conductance and very weak attenuation with molecular layer thickness (β = 0.14 nm?1 for thickness above 5 nm). The temperature dependence of the photocurrent was opposite that of the dark current, with a 35% decrease in conductance between 80 and 450 K, while the dark current increased by a factor of 4.5 over the same range. The photocurrent was similar to the dark current for thin molecular layers but greatly exceeded the dark current for low bias and thick molecular layers. We conclude that the light and dark mechanisms are additive, with photoexcited carriers transported without thermal activation for a thickness range of 5?10 nm. The inverse temperature dependence is likely due to scattering or recombination events, both of which increase with temperature and in turn decrease the photocurrent. Photostimulated resonant transport potentially widens the breadth of conceivable molecular electronic devices and may have immediate value for wavelength-specific photodetection.

Distortion‐Controlled Red‐Shift of Organic Dye Molecules
摘要： We show quantum chemically how structural distortion of an aromatic dye molecule can be leveraged to rationally tune its optoelectronic properties. Using a quantitative Kohn-Sham MO approach in combination with Time-Dependent DFT (TD-DFT), we have investigated the influence of various structural and electronic tuning parameters on the HOMO–LUMO gap of a benzenoid model dye, amongst others: (i) out-of-plane bending of the aromatic core; (ii) bending of the bridge with respect to the core; (iii) the nature of the bridge itself; and (iv) π-π stacking. Our study reveals the coupling of multiple structural distortions as a function of bridge length and number of bridges in benzene to be chiefly responsible for a decreased HOMO–LUMO gap and consequently the red-shifting of the absorption wavelength associated with the lowest singlet excitation (ca. 560 nm) in our model cyclophane systems. These physical insights together with a rational approach for tuning the oscillator strength were leveraged for the proof-of-concept design of the intense near-infrared (NIR) absorbing cyclophane dye 18 at 785 nm. Our design may contribute to a new class of distortion-controlled NIR absorbing organic dye molecules.

Periodic polymers with increasing repetition unit: Energy structure and carrier transfer
摘要： We study the energy structure and the transfer of an extra electron or hole along periodic polymers made of N monomers, with a repetition unit made of P monomers, using a tight-binding wire model, where a site is a monomer (e.g., in DNA, a base pair), for P even, and deal with two categories of such polymers: made of the same monomer (GC …, GGCC …, etc.) and made of different monomers (GA …, GGAA …, etc.). We calculate the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) eigenspectra, density of states, and HOMO-LUMO gap and find some limiting properties these categories possess, as P increases. We further examine the properties of the mean over time probability to find the carrier at each monomer. We introduce the weighted mean frequency of each monomer and the total weighted mean frequency of the whole polymer, as a measure of the overall transfer frequency content. We study the pure mean transfer rates. These rates can be increased by many orders of magnitude with appropriate sequence choice. Generally, homopolymers display the most efficient charge transfer. Finally, we compare the pure mean transfer rates with experimental transfer rates obtained by time-resolved spectroscopy.
