A novel way to enhance electroluminescence performance based on soluble binary and ternary europium 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetonate

Five rare earth complexes (Gd(acae)(3), Gd(TFacaC)(3), Eu(acaC)(3), Eu(TFacaC)(3) and Eu(TFacaC)(3)bipy; acac, acetylacetone; TFacac, 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetone; bipy, 2,2'-bipyridyl) were synthesized. By comparing the phosphorescence spectra of Gd(acac)(3) and Gd(TFacac)(3) the effect of the replacement of hydrogen by fluorine was examined. Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on the corresponding europium complexes as emissive layers were also fabricated by the spin-coating method. The triple-layer-type device with the structure glass substrate/ITO (indium-tin oxide)/PVK [poly(N-vinylcarbazole)]/(PVKEu)-Eu-.(TFacac)(3)bipy:PBD[2-(4-bibipyyl)-5-(4-t-butylbipyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole)]/PBD/Al (aluminum) exhibits a brighter red luminescence than those devices with Eu(acac)(3) and Eu(TFacac)(3) complexes as emissive centers upon applying a d.c. voltage.

Red electroluminescent device with europium 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetonate complex as emissive center

By comparing the phosphorescence spectra of Gd(acac)(3) (acac: acetylacetone) and Gd(TFacac)(3) (TFacac: 1, 1, 1-trifluoro-acetylacetone), the effect of fluorine replacing of hydrogen was discussed. It can lower the triplet state energy of acac and make it more suitable to the D-5(1) energy state of europium. Organic electroluminescent (OEL) devices with corresponding europium complexes as emissive layers were fabricated. A triple laver-type device with a structure of glass substrate/indium-tin oxide (ITO)/poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK)/PVK:Eu(TFacac)(3)phen:2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-t-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD)/PBD/Al exhibits bright red luminescence upon applying dc voltage, The device has the properties of a diode and the current-bias voltage line was obtained.

Study of color centers and trace oxygen in KMgF3 : Eu single crystal

Using the Bridgeman-Stockbarger method, the KMgF3:EU2+ single crystal was grown. The color centers in unirradiated KMgF3:Eu crystal were studied. By thermal annealing, we confirmed the 422-nm emission resulted from color centers and oxygen centers, and we proved the energy transfer from EU2+ to color centers. From spectra, the relative oxygen content in crystal was calculated, and the relationships of oxygen displacing fluorine were studied.

Theoretical studies of nonlinear optical properties of compounds K(4)Ln(2)(CO3)(3)F-4 (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd)

K(4)Ln(2)(CO3)(3)F-4 (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) is a special type of frequency doubling compound, whose crystal structure exhibits a scarcity of fluorine ions. This leads to two different coordination polyhedrons in the general position of K(2) atoms: [K(2)O6F(1)(2)F(2)] and [K(21)O6F(1)(2)] in a 2/1 ratio. The chemical bonding structures of all constituent atoms of the compound K4Gd2(CO3)(3)F-4 (KGCOF) are comprehensively studied; moreover, the relationship between the chemical bonding structure and the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties is investigated from the chemical bond viewpoint. The theoretical prediction of the NLO tensor coefficient d(11) of KGCOF is in agreement with experimental observation. Theoretical analyses show that the nonlinearity of this crystal type mainly originates from K-O bonds. In addition, the correlation between the NLO tensor d(11) and the refractive index n(0) of KGCOF is discussed. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(00)07506-X].

A comparative study on the electroluminescence properties of some terbium beta-diketonate complexes

By comparing the phosphorescence spectra of Gd(acac)(3) (acac=acetylacetone), Gd(TFacac)3 (TFacac=1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetone), the effects of fluorine replacement of hydrogen on the triplet state energy of the ligands were revealed. Fluorine can lower the triplet state energy of Hacac and make it more suitable for energy transfer towards the D-5(4) state of terbium. Organic electroluminescent devices (OELDs) with the corresponding trivalent terbium complexes as emissive layers were fabricated. Triple-layer-type devices with a structure of glass substrate/ITO (indium tin oxide)/PVK [poly(N-vinylcarbazole)]/PVK : Tb complex: PBD [2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole]/PBD/Al exhibit bright green luminescence upon applying a dc voltage. The luminance of a device with Tb(TFacac)(3)phen (1,10-phenanthroline) and Tb( TFacac) 3 as emissive layer is higher than that of the corresponding devices with Tb(acac)(3)(phen) and Tb(acac)(3) as emissive layers. The EL device with Tb(TFacac)(3)(phen) as emitter exhibits characteristic emission of Tb3+ ions with a maximum luminance of 58 cd m(-2) at 25 V.

Synthesis and properties of novel random and block copolymers composed of phthalimidine- and perfluoroisopropylidene-polyarylether-sulfones

A series of novel polyarylethersulfone (AB)(n) block copolymers with different segment lengths have been synthesized by nucleophilic solution polycondensation of phenoxide-terminated and fluorine-terminated oligomers; random copolymers have been prepared over the whole composition ranges. The structures of the resultant copolymers have been confirmed by FTIR, C-13 NMR spectra and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Compared with two homopolymers and random copolymers, the block copolymers of this study possess excellent thermal stability (5% thermal decomposition under nitrogen atmosphere above 500 C) and high glass transition temperatures, and have a wide melt-processing temperature range. They may become a new class of mouldable high performance thermoplastics. (C) 2001 Society of Chemical Industry.

XPS STUDIES ON RADIATION-INDUCED STRUCTURAL-CHANGES IN THE COPOLYMER OF TETRAFLUOROETHYLENE AND ETHYLENE

In this work, the radiation-induced structural changes in the copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene (F-40) were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). During irradiation, some CF2 groups in the polymer were found to have been converted into carbon structures that bonded indirectly with fluorine atoms.

XPS STUDY OF RADIATION CROSS-LINKED COPOLYMER OF TETRAFLUOROETHYLENE WITH HEXAFLUOROPROPYLENE

In this work the radiation-induced structural changes in F-46 were studied by XPS. In carbon-1s spectra of a highly crosslinked F-46 sheet, the slight increase observed in relative area under the peak due to CF3 was explained by the radiation-induced scission of polymer chains. The peak at 287.6 eV appearing in the spectra caused by ionizing radiation was attributed to carbon structures without primary fluorine substituents, in both branching and unsaturated structures, while that at 289.3 eV was assigned to = CF groups in mid-chain double bonds.

辣椒氟平均含量及其影响因素研究

西南地区是我国燃煤污染型氟中毒流行最为严重的地区，同时也是我国主要辣椒优异种质资源的分布地之一。大量的研究已经证明，辣椒和玉米等食物在用煤火烘干过程中可以吸收富集燃煤过程释放到大气中的氟，因此由燃煤型氟污染引起的食物型氟中毒也不断受到关注。 国内外至今缺乏对辣椒氟的背景值、平均含量以及影响其含量变化的因素的系统研究，只有部分研究者对燃煤型地方性氟中毒地区的辣椒进行了零星的调查分析，所采样品具有很大的局限性，远远不能代表辣椒整体的氟含量水平；且国内外迄今尚无辣椒氟含量的卫生标准，由于辣椒与其他食物和蔬菜相比具有其特殊性，而目前国家有关食品中氟的限量标准（GB2762-2005）对辣椒而言明显不合适，因此只有在对辣椒中氟的含量进行充分调查研究，才能有针对性地制定出更为科学合理的卫生标准，才能为辣椒是否受到氟污染的判别及防止辣椒氟污染提供理论依据。本研究的目的、方法、结果及结论如下所示。 目的：调查我国西南部分地区新鲜辣椒及干辣椒的氟含量水平，了解辣椒中氟的分布规律，进而确定新鲜辣椒中氟的污染判别值并探讨辣椒氟污染的防治措施。方法：按照《食品中氟的测定》（GB/T 5009.18-2003）方法对采自西南77个县市的新鲜辣椒（176个）及干辣椒（296个）进行氟的含量测定，根据地区、辣椒品种、干燥方式、储存时间及赋存状态，对辣椒中氟的含量进行统计分析。结果：采自农田的新鲜辣椒氟的几何平均含量为8.9mg•kg-1（干重，176个样，置信度95％），干辣椒样品氟的几何平均含量为19.6mg•kg-1（干重，296个样，置信度95％）。结论：研究证实辣椒的干燥与储存方式不当是导致辣椒氟污染的主要原因；通过对新鲜辣椒中氟含量的研究，证实我国现行的食品中氟限量标准(GB2762-2005)并不适用于辣椒，建议以24.7mg•kg-1 (干重)、5.2mg•kg-1 (鲜重)为新鲜辣椒氟污染判别值。

氟、氯对热液钨、铜成矿的制约-以江西德兴铜矿、大吉山钨矿为例

矿化剂在热液矿床成矿过程中的重要作用一直为人们所关注，矿化剂地球化学行为直接影响成矿元素的富集成矿，不同的矿化剂元素可能对金属成矿具有一定的专属性。本文以著名的江西德兴铜厂超大型斑岩铜矿床和大吉山钨矿床作为研究对象，研究F、Cl与W、Cu成矿的关系。主要的认识如下：（1）F在花岗质岩浆中，可以降低岩浆的粘度、密度、固液相线温度、改变熔体结构，而Cl对熔体结构没有多大的影响。F在流体一花岗质熔体相间，绝大多数配分系数小于1.0，趋向于熔体相中配分，DF随体系中F浓度的升高而增加。Cl在流体一花岗质熔体相间的配分系数均大于1.0，且Dc1 随体系中Cl浓度的升高而增大·Cl强烈地趋向富集于流体相中。（2）Cu在流体一花岗质熔体作用过程中，铜总趋向于流体相中分布（DCu都大于1）。特别是在富Cl流体中Cu浓度较高，说明在富含Cl的热液流体能够从共存的熔体中活化迁移出大量的 Cu，S的加入DCu有降低的趋势。钨趋向于熔体相中富集，其配分系数大多小于1.0。（3）德兴铜厂花岗闪长斑岩属钙碱性系列岩石属I型花岗岩类，具有埃达克岩的特征。岩浆来源于深部，在结晶演化过程中发生了围岩物质的混染，这种高铜含量围岩的混染使成矿物质在岩浆中得到富集，有利于铜的活化、迁移。在铜厂岩体不同的蚀变带中，SiO2、K2O、Cu、Mo等从新鲜斑岩甚至弱蚀变带中带出，而在强蚀变带强烈富集，Cl同样有在强蚀变岩石中富集的趋势；而Na2O、Fe从斑岩体中带出，进入流体相中，流体中大量Fe的存在，有利于铜的沉淀、富集成矿。（4）德兴铜厂斑岩体微量元素和稀土元素地球化学特征表明，该岩体发生了流体一熔体作用，分异出来的流体是一种相对富氯的流体，同时成矿流体的流向是从岩体中心向接触带方向流动。（5）大吉山花岗岩具有高SiO2、A/CNK值，显示过铝质特点。黑云母花岗岩是壳源花岗岩但又受到慢源岩浆或慢源流体的影响。随着花岗岩的演化（从I→II→III）SiO2、K2O＋Na2O逐渐增加，ΣFe、Al2O3、CaO、F含量降低，为成矿提供了大量的矿化剂（F）和沉淀剂（Fe、Ca）。Eu负异常从I至III阶段花岗岩逐渐加强，表明该岩浆经历了高度的分异演化。（6）大吉山花岗岩类稀土元素具有“四重效应”配分的特点以及微量元素对玲Rb、Y/Ho、Zr/Hf以及Nb／Ta发生明显分异，暗示在花岗岩岩浆的演化过程中，经历了充分的流体一熔体作用，同时分异出大量富含F、W等矿化剂元素和成矿元素的热液流体，致使钨矿的形成。大吉山石英脉型钨矿的成矿年龄大约在155 Ma。（7）通过对成矿流体和花岗质岩石黑云母、白云母中卤素相对逸度的研究（log(H2O/fHCl）fluid、log（fHF/fHCl）fluid）发现，铜厂斑岩型铜矿床的成矿体系是相对富氯体系，而大吉山石英脉型钨矿床成矿体系相对富氟，同时氟可能主要迁移W、Sn、Nb、Ta等金属元素。（8）结合斑岩型铜矿床成矿流体特征，铜主要以C1的络合物形式存在和迁移，迁移形式主要是CuCl0、CuCl2等。石英脉型钨矿床中，钨主要以钨酸、钨酸盐及其离解形式存在和迁移，如WO42-、HWO4-、NaHWO4、Naw伍．等；在高度富氟的成矿流体中，钨的氟氧络合物（如WO3F-，WO2F42-等）对钨迁移也具有重要的作用。因此，不同矿化剂类型具有一定的成矿专属性，热液铜矿床主要与Cl、S有 关，而热液钨矿床大多与F有关。

Study of the molecular configuration and the dipole moment in fluorinated liquid crystals

We have investigated the relationship between the molecular configuration and dipole moment of some fluorinated liquid crystals (LCs). The aeornetries of the molecules were preliminarily optimized at empirical AM1 and then were further optimized at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The dipole moment has been calculated. It is strongly influenced by the position and number of fluorine substituents in the benzene ring of the molecule. The polarizability, mean polarizabilities, and anisotropic polarizability of the phenylbicyclohexane (PBC) fluorine substituents are also given and discussed. (c) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
