ABSTRACTIn this report, we describe our initial synthesis and characterization of mono-functional and bi-functional dibromoalkyl oligothiophenes to achieve amphiphilicity and telechelic functionality. Oligothiophenes are an important class of organic materials for opto-electronic devices and display applications. We have mono-functionalized oligothiophenes by the synthesis of a quinquethiophene bromoalkyl derivative. A bi-functional sexithiophene was derived primarily by the symmetrical coupling of terthiophene derivatives. Both were synthesized using Grignard coupling and lithiation reaction methodologies. UV-Vis, IR, NMR, MALDI-TOF-MS, and DSC confirmed the structure and physical properties of the oligomers. In addition, we have also synthesized an amphiphilic diamine derivative from the reaction of hexamethylenediamine with a bromoalkyl terthiophene derivative. Using photoluminescence, the photophysical properties of the oligomers were found to be that of typical oligothiophenes. Processing as ultrathin films for devices is currently being investigated.

A series of new dendritic platinum bisferrocenylacetylide complexes have been synthesized utilizing the coupling reaction of trans-Pt complexes with C–H bonds in alkynes as key steps. These new bimetallic dendrimers were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C, and 31P) and mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS and CSI-TOF-MS). Electrochemical studies of these complexes were carried out and revealed that all of the redox moieties are stable, independent, and electrochemically active. In addition, all metallodendrimers show one-electron reaction responses, and the increased sizes of these complexes did not exhibit a dramatic influence on the diffusion coefficient.

A novel tetra-substituted zinc phthalocyanine 4 [ZnPcNHCOCH2(PEG)5NH2] was synthesized from 4-nitrophthalonitrile by using a four-step procedure. The compound has been characterized by UV–Visible, fluorescence, IR, 1H NMR spectra and MALDI-TOF MS, and the satisfactory result has been obtained. Most importantly, this compound is soluble in many solvents including CHCl3, CH2Cl2, DMF, DMSO, THF and water.

The use of conductive polymers as a substitute for metallic conductors and semiconductors has attracted much attention in the literature. In particular, aromatic heterocyclic polymers constitute an important class since they possess chemical and electrical stability in both the oxidized (doped) and neutral (undoped) state. A series of poly(pyrrole- co-2-nitrocinnamaldehyde) were obtained via the condensation of pyrrole and 2-nitrocinnamaldehyde in chloroform using acid exchanged montmorillonite clay called maghnite-H+ as an efficient catalyst. The conjugated copolymer was characterized using proton nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.

This work reports the synthesis and characterization of a conjugated polymer based on fluorene and terpyridine, namely, poly[(9,9-bis(3-((S)-2-methylbutylpropanoate))fluorene-alt-6,6′-(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-6-yl)] (LaPPS71). The structure was characterized by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The molar mass was measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). As thermal characterization, the glass transition temperature (Tg) was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The polymer structure contains two sites capable of complexation with metallic ions, affording the possibility of obtainment of independent or electronically coupled properties, depending on the complexation site. The photophysical properties were fully explored in solution and solid state, presenting ideal results for the preparation of various metallopolymers, in addition to potential application as a metamaterial, due to the presence of the chiral center in the side chains of the polymer.
