Indolo[3,2‐b]carbazole‐based poly(arylene vinylene)s. The influence of substitution position on spectroscopic and electrochemical properties

Three novel soluble poly(arylene vinylene)s containing indolo[3,2‐b]carbazole moiety inserted in the polymer chain at 2,8‐, 3,9‐ and 6,12‐positions were synthesized and used to study the influence of the linking topology on the optical and electronic properties. The new polymers were obtained through a palladium‐catalysed cross‐coupling Stille reaction between bis‐bromine[3,2‐b]indolocarbazoles and trans‐1,2‐bis(tributylstannyl)ethane in toluene. Polymers were soluble in chlorinated, aromatic and aprotic polar solvents. The structures of polymers were investigated using Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies. The number‐average molecular weights determined using gel permeation chromatography are in the range (6.3–9.4) × 10³ g mol^?1 while thermogravimetric analysis showed the polymers to possess high thermal stability. UV‐visible and emission spectroscopy evidenced a bathochromic shift of λ_max for indolocarbazole linking topology in the polymer backbone, in the order: 6,12 < 2,8 < 3,9. Electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry using thin films cast on platinum disc working electrodes and highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels were determined. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry

Indolo[3,2‐c]quinoline G‐Quadruplex Stabilizers: a Structural Analysis of Binding to the Human Telomeric G‐Quadruplex

A library of 5‐methylindolo[3,2‐c]quinolones (IQc) with various substitution patterns of alkyldiamine side chains were evaluated for G‐quadruplex (G4) binding mode and efficiency. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer melting assays showed that IQcs with a positive charge in the heteroaromatic nucleus and two weakly basic side chains are potent and selective human telomeric (HT) and gene promoter G4 stabilizers. Spectroscopic studies with HT G4 as a model showed that an IQc stabilizing complex involves the binding of two IQc molecules (2,9‐bis{[3‐(diethylamino)propyl]amino}‐5‐methyl‐11H‐indolo[3,2‐c]quinolin‐5‐ium chloride, 3 d ) per G4 unit, in two non‐independent but equivalent binding sites. Molecular dynamics studies suggest that end‐stacking of 3 d induces a conformational rearrangement in the G4 structure, driving the binding of a second 3 d ligand to a G4 groove. Modeling studies also suggest that 3 d , with two three‐carbon side chains, has the appropriate geometry to participate in direct or water‐mediated hydrogen bonding to the phosphate backbone and/or G4 loops, assisted by the terminal nitrogen atoms of the side chains. Additionally, antiproliferative studies showed that IQc compounds 2 d (2‐{[3‐(diethylamino)propyl]amino}‐5‐methyl‐11H‐indolo[3,2‐c]quinolin‐5‐ium chloride) and 3 d are 7‐ to 12‐fold more selective for human malignant cell lines than for nonmalignant fibroblasts.

Butyl pyrene containing poly(arylene ethynylene)s for highly sensitive and selective sensing of TNT

A series of poly(arylene ethynylene)s (PAEs) containing ^tbutyl pyrene in the main chain were synthesized for nitroaromatic sensors. As control, similar polymers containing unsubstituted pyrene were also synthesized. The sensory properties of the polymers were studied towards various nitroaromatic compounds like trinitrotoluene (TNT), dinitrotoluene (DNT), nitrotoluene (NT), nitrobenzene (NB) and picric acid (PA) in solution as well as vapor state. Interestingly, all the ^tbutyl substituted pyrene containing polymers showed higher sensitivity than the corresponding unsubstituted pyrene containing polymers. Moreover, the polymers showed high sensitivity towards TNT as compared to the other nitroaromatic compounds. The sensitivity of one of the polymer PB was found several folds higher than that of the similar reported polymer containing unsubstituted pyrene ring. In addition, ^tbutyl pyrene containing polymers were found to have improved molecular weight, thermal stability, fluorescence quantum yield, film forming properties and solubility in common organic solvents as compared to the control polymers.

Low bandgap polymers with benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b′] dithiophene and bisthiophene-dioxopyrrolothiophene units for photovoltaic applications

New donor/acceptor polymers PBDTTPT1 and PBDTTPT2 with alternating benzodithiophene (BDT) and bisthiophene-dioxopyrrolothiophene (TPT) units were synthesized by Stille coupling reaction. The polymers had optical bandgaps of 1.78 and 1.82 eV, and HOMO energy levels of −5.30 and −5.35 eV for PBDTTPT1 and PBDTTPT2, respectively. Polymeric solar cell devices based on these copolymers as donors and PC₇₁BM as acceptor showed the highest open circuit voltage of 0.95 V and power conversion efficiency of 2.68% under the illumination of AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm².     

A convenient [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene-mediated one-pot synthesis of 2-arylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles

Several 2-arylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles (4) have been conveniently synthesized in one-pot reactions via α-tosyloxylation of enolizable ketones (1) using [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene 2 in acetonitrile, followed by treatment with 2-amino-6-(substituted)benzothiazoles (3). The present protocol offers several advantages towards general access of 2-arylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles, including an intriguing alternative to the literature protocols, a readily available nontoxic reagent, operational simplicity and an environmentally benign procedure.     

Hydrophobic properties of poly(arylene ether)s derived from linear polydimethysiloxanes and decafluorobiphenyl

A series of novel poly(arylene ether)s were synthesized with diphenol liner polydimethysiloxanes with different silicon numbers (2OH‐PDMS‐P; P = 2, 6, 10, 12, 16) and decafluorobiphenyl via a two‐step nucleophilic substitution polymerization. The chemical structures of the polymers were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, ¹⁹F‐NMR and ¹H‐NMR spectra. All the polymers provided outstanding hydrophobic properties, high thermal stability and good solubility. The water contact angle (WCA) first increased and then suddenly decreased with the increasing of silicon numbers in PDMS. The highest WCA about 112° was obtained when silicon numbers was ten. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018 , 135, 46187.     

Impact of alkyl side chain on the photostability and optoelectronic properties of indacenodithieno[3,2‐b]thiophene‐alt‐naphtho[1,2‐c:5,6‐ c′]bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole medium bandgap copolymers

Three donor‐π‐acceptor (D‐π‐A) type alternating conjugated polymers, namely PIDTT‐DTNT‐C16, PIDTT‐DTNT‐HD and PIDTT‐DTNT‐OD bearing the same backbone of indacenodithieno[3,2‐b]thiophene (IDTT) as the D unit and naphtho[1,2‐c:5,6‐c′]bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole (NT) as the A moiety but with different flexible side chain (n‐hexadecyl (C16), 2‐hexyldecyl (HD) and 2‐octyldodecyl (OD)) substituted thiophene employed as π‐bridges, were synthesized and characterized. The effects of the side chain on absorption, photostability, energy levels, aggregation, backbone conformation, morphology and photovoltaic properties were systematically investigated. Because moderate D and strong A units were selected to construct the polymer backbone, a medium optical bandgap (ca. 1.66 eV) and low‐lying highest occupied molecular orbital energy level (E_HOMO ≈ ?5.36 V), thus resulting in a relatively higher open‐circuit voltage (V_OC) of 0.80–0.83 V, were achieved. It was found that the side chain gave rise to an insignificant impact on absorption, aggregation and photostability in chlorobenzene solution and energy levels but a non‐negligible influence on absorption, photostability and aggregation behavior in the film state. It was found that PIDTT‐DTNT‐C16 with the densest and most ordered packing structure exhibited the best photostability. Inverted bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells based on PIDTT‐DTNT‐HD:PC₆₁BM ([6,6]‐phenyl‐C₆₁‐butyric acid methyl ester) showed at least a 1.5‐fold increase in power conversion efficiency, chiefly originating from its slightly improved absorption, more balanced μ_h/μ_e ratio and favorable morphology of the active layer as a result of incorporating branched HD side chains into the IDTT‐alt‐DTNT backbone. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

Pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine Derivatives as Type II Kinase Insert Domain Receptor (KDR) Inhibitors: CoMFA and CoMSIA Studies

Kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) inhibitors have been proved to be very effective anticancer agents. Molecular docking, 3D-QSAR methods, CoMFA and CoMSIA were performed on pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives as non-ATP competitive KDR inhibitors (type II). The bioactive conformation was explored by docking one potent compound 20 into the active site of KDR in its DFG-out inactive conformation. The constructed CoMFA and CoMSIA models produced statistically significant results with the cross-validated correlation coefficients q(2) of 0.542 and 0.552, non-cross-validated correlation coefficients r(2) of 0.912 and 0.955, and predicted correction coefficients r(2) (pred) of 0.913 and 0.897, respectively. These results ensure the CoMFA and CoMSIA models as a tool to guide the design of a series of new potent KDR inhibitors.

Pure gas and vapor permeation properties of poly[1-phenyl-2-[p-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]acetylene] (PTMSDPA) and its desilylated analog, poly[diphenylacetylene] (PDPA)

The permeabilities of He, H₂, N₂, O₂, CO₂, CH₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₈, and n-C₄H₁₀ in poly[1-phenyl-2-[p-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]acetylene] (PTMSDPA) and poly[diphenylacetylene] (PDPA) are presented and compared to those of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP), poly(1-phenyl-1-propyne) (PPP), and polysulfone. Like PTMSP, PTMSDPA, a disubstituted glassy acetylene-based polymer, exhibits higher permeabilities to organic vapors than to permanent gases due to its rigid polyacetylene backbone and bulky side groups, which provide a relatively high fractional free volume (FFV) value of 0.26. Desilylation was performed on PTMSDPA. The resulting material, PDPA, is totally insoluble in common organic solvents, so it has much higher chemical resistance than PTMSDPA. Additionally, due to its insolubility in polymerization solvents, desilylation provides the only known route to high molar mass PDPA. The FFV of the resulting membrane (PDPA) is reduced by approximately 12% relative to that of PTMSDPA. This leads to a decrease in gas permeability values and selectivity of organic vapors relative to nitrogen. For example, the oxygen permeability is reduced from 1200 to 500 Barrers upon desilylation. The pure gas selectivities decrease from 9 to 3 for n-C₄H₁₀/N₂ and from 26 to 9 for C₃H₈/N₂.     

Synthesis of soluble and thermally stable poly[arylene ether amide (N‐arylenebenzimidazole)]s

Poly(arylene ether)s containing N‐arylenebenzimidazole and amide groups were prepared using an aromatic nucleophilic displacement reaction that replaced the N‐H sites from four different bis(benzimidazolyl) derivatives with activated aromatic difluorides containing ether and amide groups in sulfolane. The reaction was carried out at 210 °C in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The structures of the polymers were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, and the results were largely consistent with the proposed structure. All resulting polymers showed an essentially amorphous nature. This was consistent with the calculated results. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric measurements showed that the polymers had high glass transition temperatures (>190 °C), good thermostability and high decomposition temperatures (>400 °C). These novel polymers also showed easy solubility. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

Synthesis of isoelectronic polyazomethine and poly(arylene vinylene) by a palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling method

Two fully conjugated copolymers containing 2,7‐(9,9‐dioctyl) fluorene and 3,6‐(N‐hexyl‐9H‐carbazole) disubstituted rings and arylene vinylene or azomethine units in the main chain were synthesized through a palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling method of 2,7‐bis(4,4,5,5‐tetramethyl‐1,3,2‐dioxaborolan‐2‐yl)‐9,9‐dioctyl fluorene with 1,4‐bis(6‐bromo‐N‐hexyl‐9H‐carbazole‐3‐yl vinyl) benzene or N,N‐bis(6‐bromo‐N‐hexyl‐9H‐carbazole‐3‐yl methylidene) 1,4‐phenylenediamine. Bisbromine arylene vinylene and arylenazomethine monomers were synthesized by condensation of 3‐formyl‐N‐hexyl‐6‐bromo carbazole with tetraethyl‐p‐xylylene diphosphonate or 1,4‐phenylenediamine. Copolymers were characterized by FTIR, ¹H‐NMR, DSC, UV‐visible and photoluminescence methods. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry
