Influences of the electron donor groups on the properties of thiophene-(N-aryl)pyrrole-thiophene-based organic sensitizers

In this study, 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrrole-based metal-free organic dyes containing three different non planar electron donor groups such as methoxy or hexyloxy substituted triphenylamine and difluorenephenylamine were prepared in order to see the effect of electron donor groups on the opto-electrical properties and applied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). All three dyes showed broad absorption band in visible part of the solar spectrum (∼300 nm–600 nm). The dye (TPTDYE-3) containing sterically less hindered methoxy substituted triphenylamine was found to show relatively red shifted absorption compared to that of the dye (TPTDYE-4) containing hexyloxy substituted triphenylamine or the dye (TPTDYE-5) containing difluorenephenylamine. The optical band gaps of the three dyes were calculated to be 2.19 eV, 2.22 eV and 2.24 eV, respectively, and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels of the three dyes were found to be located at 0.65 V, 0.68 V and 0.75 V, respectively. The DSSC performance of each dye was investigated with and without coadsorbent. The maximum solar to electrical energy conversion efficiencies (η) of the DSSCs made from only sensitizer were 4.18%, 5.28% and 5.42% while those of the DSSCs made from sensitizer with coadsorbent were 5.47%, 5.58% and 5.63%, respectively.     

Synthesis,X-ray structure and luminescent properties of a new 1D terbium(III) coordination polymer based on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate and 4,4′-bipyridine

A new 1D terbium coordination polymer, {[Tb(2,4-dcpa)₃(H₂O)₂]·(4,4′-bpy)_1.5(H₂O)₂}_n (1) [2,4,-dcpa = 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate, 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine], was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 exhibits an infinite chain structure with a {Tb₂(2,4-dcpa)₆(H₂O)₄} dimeric repeat unit. Each Tb³⁺ ion is nine-coordinated to two water molecules, one monodentate carboxylate group and four bridging carboxylate groups in which the carboxylate groups are bonded to the terbium ion in one modes: the chelating–bridging tridentate. Three-dimensional fluorescence spectra of 1 were detected at room temperature under the excitation and the emission wavelengths in the range of 420–750 nm with the interval of 5 nm. The lifetime of 1 in solid-state at room temperature up to 1.132 ms. On the other hand, poor luminescence efficiency has been noted for the Tb³⁺-2,4-dcpa complex.     

New ambient pressure organic superconductor with Tc = 8.1 K based on unsymmetrical donor molecule, ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene: (EDT-TTF)4Hg3−δI8, δ 0.1–0.2

The new ambient pressure organic superconductor based on unsymmetrical donor, ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene, and the iodomercurate anion, (EDT-TTF)₄Hg_3−δI₈, δ0.1–0.2, with T_c=8.1 K has been synthesized. Transport and magnetic properties have been investigated. Upper critical fields have been studied under parallel and perpendicular magnetic fields up to 17 T in the temperature region down to 1.3 K. The data show that upper critical fields are within the paramagnetic limit in all directions. The coherence lengths indicate that (EDT-TTF)₄Hg_3−δI₈, δ0.1–0.2, is a quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor.
