Polymer-based blue electrophosphorescent light-emitting diodes based on a new iridium(III) diazine complex

Polymer-based blue electrophosphorescent light-emitting diodes are reported by doping iridium(III) diazine complex (DFPPM)₂Ir(pic) (DFPPM = 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-pyrimidine, pic = picolinate) in poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as the source of emission. The iridium(III) diazine complex shows sky blue emission with its maximum emission peak at 476 nm originating from an admixture of triplet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer and ligand-centered states. The (DFPPM)₂Ir(pic)-doped device furnishes a maximum external quantum efficiency of 2.2% and power efficiency of 1.9 lm/W at a 10 wt% doping concentration.     

Synthesis and near-infrared luminescent properties of some ruthenium complexes

A series of seven ruthenium complexes with different ligands were synthesized and their optical, electrochemical and photoluminescent properties were characterized. Electroluminescent properties of these complexes were further evaluated using a light-emitting electrochemical cell with a configuration of indium tin oxide (ITO)/complex (100 nm)/Au (100 nm). Tunable photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) from 630 to 1040 nm have been achieved by adjusting the LUMO and HOMO levels of ruthenium complexes.

Hybrid magnetorheological elastomer: Influence of magnetic field and compression pressure on its electrical conductivity

Graphene nanoparticles are used to produce a hybrid electro-conductive magnetorheological elastomer (MRE-hybrid). We fabricate a magnetoresistive sensor based on the obtained MRE-hybrid. We measure the electrical resistance of the MRE-hybrid in a transverse magnetic field of intensity 0 ≤ H (kA/m) ≤ 65, and separately, the electrical resistance under the influence of a compression pressure p ≤ 14.4 kPa. From the obtained results we determine the variation of electrical conductivity with H, and respectively with p. We develop a theoretical model which explains the effects of H and p on electrical conductivity of MRE-hybrid. The obtained results are presented and discussed.     

Electrochemical production of alkoxy-substituted phenols

The electrochemical oxidation of hydroquinone and substituted hydroquinones has been studied over graphite and platinum electrodes in different alcohol media. The results have shown that good yields of the corresponding alkoxy-substituted phenols can be obtained with high selectivities towards the hydroquinone monoalkyl ether. A mechanism is put forward to explain the formation of the alkoxyphenol through the creation of a quinhydrone complex, formed between the hydroquinone and benzoquinone, which is then attacked by the alcohol acting as a nucleophile.In this study, the effect of sulfuric acid as supporting electrolyte and acid catalyst was compared with that of methanesulfonic acid. It was found that sulfuric acid gave the best yield for different alkoxyphenols. The alcohols under investigation were C₁-C₈, and it was found that the longer the chain length of the alcohol, the slower the tendency to produce alkoxyphenols. Branched alcohols such as secondary and tertiary alcohols showed no reactivity towards the quinhydrone complex. Some of the yields obtained are as follows: 4-methoxyphenol (97%), 4-ethoxyphenol (71.4%) and 4-propoxyphenol (81.1%).     

Hydrodesulfurization of Diesel Feeds by Association of a Catalytic Process and a Separation Process Using Charge-Transfer Complexes

While deep hydrodesulfurization of gas oil is more and more important, elimination of sulfur compounds such as 4,6-dialkyldibenzothio-phenes still attracts considerable attention. A new process based on the association of a separation process by charge-transfer complex (CTC) formation and classical catalytic hydrotreating (HDT) was evaluated. The results indicated that a CTC pretreatment allows the rate of hydrodesulfurization (HDS) to increase and the final sulfur level to decrease. This process is even more efficient for feeds difficult to desulfurize.

Immobilization of α‐amylase in polyelectrolyte complexes

Herein, we report the formation of α‐amylase containing polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs). The method for the encapsulation of α‐amylase is based on interactions between two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and polyethylenimine (PEI). We could show that electrostatic interactions ensure the incorporation of the enzyme into the formed polyelectrolyte complexes. The encapsulation has no negative effect on enzyme activity and protects against denaturation of the enzyme initiated by low pH values. The resulting PECs are 150–250 nm in size with narrow size distribution, appear in a spherical shape and are colloidally stable. The complexation of both polyelectrolytes and the immobilization of α‐amylase are investigated using fractionating techniques mainly the analytical ultracentrifugation and asymmetrical‐flow field‐flow fractionation. The formation of PECs represents a simple method for the encapsulation of α‐amylase without the use of organic solvents and requires no additional purifications steps. This one‐step approach, yielding high encapsulation efficiencies, shows the potential as a drug delivery system for sensitive hydrophilic actives in future. α‐amylase is immobilized in polyelectrolyte complexes made of polyethylenimine and poly(acrylic acid). Optimized encapsulation conditions and the resulting polyelectrolyte complexes are investigated via determination of IEP, α‐amylase activity assays, nanoDSC measurements, zeta potential values, dynamic light scattering, microscopy, and fractionating techniques. The encapsulated enzyme is protected against denaturation initiated by low pH values. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017 , 134, 45036.     

Syntheses of group 4 transition metal complexes bearing 2-pyridinethiolate ligands and their catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization

Titanium bis(2-pyridinethiolate) complexes, Ti(6-R-SPy)₂(NMe₂)₂ (6-R-SPy = 6-R-2-pyridinethiolate, 3a: R = H; 3b: R = Me; 3c: R = Ph; 3d: R = C₆H₄-4-Me; 3e: R = C₆H₄-4-t-Bu; 3f: R = C₆H₃-3,5-Me₂), and the titanium bis(2-pyridinolate) complexes, Ti(6-Ph-OPy)₂(NMe₂)₂ (6-Ph-OPy = 6-phenyl-2-pyridinolate, 8) were prepared by treating Ti(NMe₂)₄ with 2 equiv. of 6-R-2-pyridinethiol or 6-Ph-2-pyridinol. The cis-configuration of the diamido moieties in the pseudo octahedral geometry was elucidated by X-ray crystallography for 3a. Reaction of M(NMe₂)₄ (M = Ti, Zr) with 4 equiv. of 2-pyridinethiol cleanly gave tetrakis(pyridinethiolate) complexes, M(6-H-SPy)₄·THF (6: M = Ti; 7: M = Zr). The triangular dodecahedral geometries of 6 and 7 were also revealed by X-ray crystallography. These complexes catalyzed ethylene polymerization upon activation with MAO (methylaluminoxane) or MMAO (modified MAO). The catalytic activities of titanium bis(6-aryl-pyridinethiolate) systems were found to be remarkably higher than that of titanium bis(6-methyl-pyridinethiolate) system. Among the complexes synthesized in this study, Ti[6-(C₆H₃-3,5-Me₂)-SPy]₂(NMe₂)₂ (3f)/MMAO showed the highest activity (1200 kg/Ti-mol h atm) for ethylene polymerization at 60 °C under atmospheric pressure. In contrast, the activity of the corresponding 6-aryl-pyridinolate system 8/MMAO was rather low (9.3 kg/Ti-mol h atm). Both the N-S chelating structure and the bulky aryl substituents are essential for the high activities of the 6-aryl-pyridinethiolate complexes.
