STRUCTURE-PROPERTY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HALF-WAVE POTENTIALS OF ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS AND THEIR TOPOLOGY

A significant correlation was found between half-wave potentials of organic compounds and their topological indices, A(x1), A(x2), and A(x3). The simplicity of calculation of the index from the connectivity in the molecular skeleton, together with the significant correlation, indicates its practical value. Good results have been obtained by using them to predict the half-wave potentials of some organic compounds.

STUDY ON STRUCTURE-PROPERTY RELATIONSHIP OF POLYIMIDE BLENDS .2. STRUCTURE AND MISCIBILITY OF POLYIMIDE PBPI-E/PTI-E BLENDS

The structure and miscibility of polyimide PBPI-E/PTI-E blends were studied by wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering and dynamic mechanical analysis, where PBPI-E is a biphenyl-dianhydride-based polyimide, and PTI-E is a polyimide from 4,4'-thiodiphthalic anhydride and 4,4'-oxydianiline. The results obtained show that there exists a paracrystalline structure in the blends with high content of PBPI-E, but this does not affect the miscibility of the blends. The blends are miscible over the entire composition range, since only one T(g) was observed for each blend. Meanwhile, the segregation of PTI-E during crystallization of PBPI-E in the blends is interlamellar.

A NEW TOPOLOGICAL INDEX FOR RESEARCH ON STRUCTURE-PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS OF ALKANES

in this Raper, based on distance matrix and branch vertex of atomes in a molecule, a new topological index (Y(x)) has been developed to be used in research on physical and chemical properties of alkanes. It is concluded that this index bears good structure selectivity and relativity when the results from index were compared with that of other ones.

STUDY ON STRUCTURE-PROPERTY RELATIONSHIP OF POLYIMIDE BLENDS .1. A DYNAMIC MECHANICAL STUDY OF THE MISCIBILITY OF POLYIMIDE POLYIMIDE BLENDS

Three pairs of polyimide/polyimide blends (50/50 wt%) with different molecular structures were prepared by two ways, i.e. mixing of the polyamic acid precursors with subsequent imidization, and direct solution mixing of the polyimides. The blends were studied with DMA technique. The results obtained show that all the blends prepared with these two different ways are miscible, as there existed only one glass transition temperature(Tg) for all the blends. It is suggested that the miscibility of these polyimide/polyimide blends is a result of the strong inter-molecular charge-transfer interaction between the chains of their components.

Study on the structure and miscibility of PBPI-E/PTI-E blends

The crystallization, miscibility and structure of polyimide PBPI-E/PTI-E blends were studied by DSC, DMA, NMR and fluorescence techniques, where PBPI-E is a biphenyldianhydride-based polyimide, and PTI-E is a polyimide from 4,4'-thiodiphthalic anhydride and 4,4'-oxydianiline. The results obtained show that PBPI-E/PTI-E blends are miscible at a molecular level for all the compositions studied. However, the glass transition temperature of the blends is well below the value predicted by the Fox equation, and the blends are not stable at high temperature, i.e. phase separation will occur when the blends are annealed about T-g. Moreover, the melting point T-m, differential enthalpy Delta H and spin-lattice relaxation time T-l(c) of the blends increase with the annealing time. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

One-pot reduction of 9,10-diaryl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-9,10-diols to 9,10-diarylphenanthrenes was achieved with Zn/H+ in acetic acid. Accordingly, various novel phenanthrenes and polyphenanthrenes with efficient blue emission were easily synthesized.

Efficient Electrophosphorescence from a Platinum Metallopolyyne Featuring a 2,7-Carbazole Chromophore

The synthesis, thermal and emission properties of an electrophosphorescent platinum(II) metallopolyyne polymer consisting of 9-butylcarbazole-2,7-diyl spacer P1 are described. The optical and electronic properties of P1 are compared to their molecular diplatinum(II) and digold(I) model complexes. The photophysical properties of P1 are somehow analogous to its 2,7-fluorene-linked congener but differs significantly from that for the 3,6-carbazole derivative. Its optical band gap is notably reduced as compared to that for the 3,6-carbazole analog. Multi-layer polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) were fabricated with P1 as the emitting layer which gave a strong green-yellow electrophosphorescence. The best PLED can reach the maximum current efficiency of 4.7 cd . A(-1) at 5 wt.-% doping level, corresponding to an external quantum efficiency of 1.5%. This represents the first literature example of efficient PLEDs exhibiting pure triplet emission under electrical excitation for metallopolyynes without the concomitant singlet emission.

Toward high-performance polymer solar cells: The importance of morphology control

Polymer solar cells have the potential to become a major electrical power generating tool in the 21st century. R&D endeavors are focusing on continuous roll-to-roll printing of polymeric or organic compounds from solution-like newspapers-to produce flexible and lightweight devices at low cost. It is recognized, though, that besides the functional properties of the compounds the organization of structures on the nanometer level-forced and controlled mainly by the processing conditions applied-determines the performance of state-of-the-art polymer solar cells. In such devices the photoactive layer is composed of at least two functional materials that form nanoscale interpenetrating phases with specific functionalities, a so-called bulk heterojunction. In this perspective article, our current knowledge on the main factors determining the morphology formation and evolution is introduced, and gaps of our understanding on nanoscale structure-property relations in the field of high-performance polymer solar cells are addressed. Finally, promising routes toward formation of tailored morphologies are presented.

Synthesis, properties, and gas permeation performance of cardo poly(arylene ether sulfone)s containing phthalimide side groups

Novel bisphenol monomers (1a-d) containing phthalimide groups were synthesized by the reaction of phenolphthalein with ammonia, methylamine, aniline, and 4-tert-butylanilne, respectively. A series of cardo poly (arylene ether sulfone)s was synthesized via aromatic nucleophilic substitution of 1a-d with dichlorodiphenylsulfone, and characterized in terms of thermal, mechanical and gas transport properties to H-2, O-2, N-2, and CO2. The polymers showed high glass transition temperature in the range 230-296 degrees C, good solubility in polar solvents as well as excellent thermal stability with 5% weight loss above 410 degrees C. The most permeable membrane studied showed permeability coefficients of 1.78 barrers to O-2 and 13.80 barrers to CO2, with ideal selectivity. factors of 4.24 for O-2/N-2 pair and 28.75 for CO2/CH4 pair. Furthermore, the structure-property relationship among these cardo poly(arylene ether sulfone)s had been discussed on solubility, thermal stability, mechanical, and gas permeation properties. The results indicated that introducing 4-tert-butylphenyl group improved the gas permeability of polymers evidently.

Isomeric polyimides

This review deals with polyimides based on isomeric dianhydrides and diamines, and with chiral polyimides. First, however, a summary is presented of recent work on the synthesis of isomeric dianhydrides, the reaction of mellophanic dianhydride with diamines, and the tendency toward cyclization in reactions of some dianhydrides and diamines. Then turning to polymers, the discussion covers solubility, thermal and dielectric properties, permeability and permselectivity for gas separation, and rheology of isomeric polyimides. Several useful general rules have been found: i.e. the glass transition temperature of polyimides based on isomeric dianhydrides with a given diamine decreases in the order 3,3'- > 3,4'- > 4,4-dianhydride if the polymers are of comparable molecular weight, whereas the thermal stability and the T-beta/T-g ratio (in absolute temperatures) increase in the order of 3,3'- < 3,4'- < 4,4'-dianhydride. Polyimides from 3,3'- or 3,4'-dianhydride have higher solubility than those from 4,4'-dianhydride. Polyimides from 3,4'-dianhydrides exhibit much lower melt viscosity than those from the other isomeric anhydrides. The dielectric constants of polyimides derived from m,m'-diamines are lower than those from p,p'-diamines. Polyimides based on 3,3'- or 3,4'-dianhydrides have higher permeability and slightly lower permselectivity than polyimides based on 4,4'-dianhydrides.
