Organic solar cells (OSCs) as the promising green energy technol. have drawn much attention in the last two decades. In comparison to polymer solar cells, small-mol. organic solar cells (SMOSCs) have the advantages of precise chem. structure and mol. weight, purification feasibility, batch reproducibility, etc. Despite of the recent advances in mol. design, the efficiencies of SMOSCs are still lagging behind those of polymer-based OSCs. In this work, a new small-mol. donor (SMD) with a fused-ring-connected bridge denoted F-MD has been designed and synthesized. When F-MD was applied into SMOSCs, the F-MD:N3 blends exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of over 13%, which is much higher than that of the linear π-bridged mol. L-MD based devices (8.12%). Further studies revealed that the fused-ring design promoted the planarity of the mol. conformation and facilitated charge transport in OSCs. More importantly, this strategy also lowered the crystallinity and self-aggregation of the films, and hence optimized the microstructure and phase separation in the corresponding blends. Thereby, the F-MD-based blends have been evidenced to have better exciton dissociation and reduced charge recombination in comparison with the L-MD counterparts, explaining the enhanced PCEs. Our work demonstrates that the fused-ring π-bridge strategy in small-mol.-donor design is an effective pathway to promote the efficiency of SMOSCs as well as enhance the diversity of SMD materials.

Gao, Baoxiang published the artcileBand gap tunable for near-infrared absorbing chromophores with multi-triphenylamine and tris (thieno)hexaazatriphenylenes acceptors, HPLC of Formula: 52431-30-8, the publication is Tetrahedron Letters (2010), 51(14), 1919-1921, database is CAplus.

Two disk-like D-A type chromophores with multi-triphenylamine donors and hexaazatriphenylene acceptors were synthesized and fully characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, elemental anal. and mass spectrometry. The effects of the hexaazatriphenylene on the optical and electrochem. properties and band gap of the chromophores were investigated. As the hexaazatriphenylene core fused with three thiophene rings, the band gaps of the compounds could be tuned from 1.65 eV to 1.15 eV. The π-π* absorption peak and charge-transfer absorption peak of the hexaazatriphenylene compounds were red shifted from visible spectrum region (393 and 530 nm) to near-IR spectrum region (542 and 756 nm). In addition, due to an increase in the π electronic coupling between electron donor and electron acceptor, the extinction coefficient (charge-transfer absorption) of the hexaazatriphenylene compound decreases 85% from 3.4 × 10⁴ mol^-1 dm^-3 cm^-1 to 0.5 × 10⁴ mol^-1 dm^-3 cm^-1.

Park, P. J. D. published the artcileThe infrared spectra of pressed-disk samples in relation to molecular structure in 2,3-dibromo-2,3-dimethylbutane, Computed Properties of 594-81-0, the publication is Chemical Communications (London) (1966), 557-8, database is CAplus.

The ir spectra of 2,3-dibromo-2,3-dimethylbutane (I) were determined for mull, crystal, dilute solution, liquid at high temperatures, and mull pressed-disk samples in order to clarify discrepancies between earlier spectroscopic and dipole-moment studies. The spectra of solid mull and crystal samples were in agreement with those reported previously. When the ir and Raman spectra of the crystal form were compared, the rule of mutual exclusion was found to apply. The crystal was entirely the trans form with mol. sym. C_2h. When the ir spectra of liquid I and dilute solutions were examined, addnl. weak absorption bands unreported previously were observed at 1283, 1263, 1190, 1055, 1020, 1005, 947, 925, 682, and 490 cm.^-1 These were assigned to the gauche isomer. Addnl. bands appeared also in the pressed-disk spectrum of I, corresponding almost exactly in frequency to those bands assigned to the gauche compound During the preparation of the pressed-disk samples, internal rotation was concluded to have occurred, with some mols. changing from the trans to the gauche form.

A general protocol for the challenging cyanofluoroalkylation of unactivated alkenes is disclosed. A broad range of synthetically useful di- and mono-fluorinated alkyl nitriles are readily obtained in good yields under mild reaction conditions [e.g, cyanohydrin I + BrCF₂CO₂Et → nitrile II (90%) under blue LED irradiation in presence of fac-Ir(ppy)₃ in DMF]. The efficient combination of intramol. cyano migration and photoredox catalysis significantly expands the field of difunctionalization of olefins.

Li, Zhitao published the artcileAnalysis of coal tar pitch and smoke extract components and their cytotoxicity on human bronchial epithelial cells, Formula: C4Br2N2O4S, the publication is Journal of Hazardous Materials (2011), 186(2-3), 1277-1282, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Coal tar pitch and its smoke are considered hazardous byproducts and common pollutants generated by the coal processing industry. This work characterized coal tar pitch and its smoke extracts by gas chromatog./mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using dimethylsulfoxide. Only 0.3025% of components in total coal tar pitch were identified by GC/MS. Among 18 identified compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) has the highest relative abundance (0.19%). Remaining components were composed of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compounds, and alkenes. Among 38 coal tar pitch smoke extract constituents profiled, 87.91% were PAH; the remaining 12.09% were composed of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compounds, and alkenes. The cytotoxic effect of coal tar pitch and its smoke extracts on BEAS-2B cells were also evaluated using the MTT assay. BEAS-2B cells exposed to coal tar pitch exhibited a non dose-dependent, U-shaped cytotoxicity with the maximum ID of 3.75 mg/L. BEAS-2B cells exposed to coal tar pitch smoke extracts exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity with a 8.64 mg/L LC₅₀. Results demonstrated the significant different composition and cytotoxicity of coal tar pitch and its extracts, suggesting 2 underlying mechanisms which are pending future investigation.

Wu, Shuo published the artcileRegioselective Vinylation of Remote Unactivated C(sp³)-H Bonds: Access to Complex Fluoroalkylated Alkenes, Product Details of C4H6BrFO2, the publication is Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2019), 58(5), 1499-1503, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Regioselective incorporation of a particular functional group into aliphatic sites by direct activation of unreactive C-H bonds is of great synthetic value. Despite advances in radical-mediated functionalization of C(sp³)-H bonds by a hydrogen-atom transfer process, the site-selective vinylation of remote C(sp³)-H bonds still remains underexplored. Reported herein is a new protocol for the regioselective vinylation of unactivated C(sp³)-H bonds. The remote C(sp³)-H activation is promoted by a C-centered radical instead of the commonly used N and O radicals. The reaction possesses high product diversity and synthetic efficiency, furnishing a plethora of synthetically valuable E alkenes bearing tri-/di-/mono-fluoromethyl and perfluoroalkyl groups.

A new, efficient, site-selective heteroarylation of amides via C(sp³)-H bond functionalization. Amidyl radicals were directly generated from the amide N-H bonds under mild conditions, which triggered the subsequent 1,5-HAT process. A wide scope of aliphatic amides including carboxamides, sulfonamides and phosphoramides were readily modified at remote C(sp³)-H bonds by installing diverse heteroaryl groups. Borne out of pragmatic consideration, this protocol was used for the late-stage functionalization of amides.

Huang, Pengmian published the artcileDesign, synthesis and insecticidal activities of new meta-diamide compounds containing n-butyl group, Application of 2-Bromo-4-(perfluoropropan-2-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, the publication is Tetrahedron Letters (2022), 153743, database is CAplus.

In order to discover a novel insecticide, a series of meta-diamide compounds containing Bu group were designed and synthesized. Preliminary bioassay data showed that some of the target compounds exhibited good insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera frugiperda and Alfalfa sprouts. In particular, compounds 6d and 6n displayed 100% insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella at 1 mg/L and also revealed 100% of mortality rate against Spodoptera frugiperda at 0.1 mg/L, which was consistent with the cyproflanilide. Meanwhile, compound 6m showed 98.89% insecticidal activity against Alfalfa sprouts at 100 mg/L, better than cyproflanilide (25.60% at 100 mg/L). The work demonstrated that compounds containing Bu group might supply certain hints toward structure optimization design for the development of new insecticides.
