A reported variation of the electronic absorption spectra of diaza-aromatics in non-polar solvents with temperature appears to be explicable in terms of three effects. Hydrogen bonding interactions occur in all but exhaustively dried non-polar solvents. Microcrystals form readily at low temperatures at even quite low concentrations (c. 10-5M). The solutions are sensitive to exposure to light. The diaza-aromatics undergo photochemical change forming, in some cases, photoadducts with the solvent.


Simple synthetic receptors have been developed that function via directed hydrogen bonding interactions in highly competitive solvents. Strong binding of this type in polar solvents may be due to a number of factors including favourable secondary hydrogen bonding interactions between the carboxylate and urea, the use of charged H-bond acceptors, an inefficient solvation of the closely spaced H-bond donor sites in the urea, and an entropically favourable release of solvent and/or counterion molecules on complex formation. We also demonstrate that these types of interactions can be used to induce, both in solution and the solid state, discrete 2 + 2 aggregates stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds.

Self-polarized piezoelectric devices have attracted significant interest owing to their fabrication processes with low energy consumption. Herein, novel poling-free piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) based on self-polarized polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) induced by the incorporation of different surface-modified barium titanate nanoparticles (BTO NPs) were prepared via a fully printing process. To reveal the effect of intermolecular interactions between PVDF and NP surface groups, BTO NPs were modified with hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) and hydrophobic 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (PFDTES) to yield PDA-BTO and PFD-BTO, respectively. This study demonstrates that the stronger hydrogen bonding interactions existed in PFD-BTO/PVDF composite film comparative to the PDA-BTO/PVDF composite film induced the higher β-phase formation (90%), which was evidenced by the XRD, FTIR and DSC results, as well as led to a better dispersion of NPs and improved mechanical properties of composite films. Consequently, PFD-BTO/PVDF-based PENGs without electric poling exhibited a significantly improved output voltage of 5.9 V and power density of 102 μW cm−3, which was 1.8 and 2.9 times higher than that of PDA-BTO/PVDF-based PENGs, respectively. This study provides a promising approach for advancing the search for high-performance, self-polarized PENGs in next-generation electric and electronic industries.
