AbstractOrganic semiconductors exhibiting complementary-type carrier mobility are the key components for the development of the field of “plastic electronics”. We present here a novel series of αω- and isomerically pure β,β'-diperfluorohexyl-substituted thiophene and study the impact of fluoroalkyl substitution and conjugation length vìs-à-vìs the corresponding fluorinefree analogues. Trends between the fluorinated and fluorine-free families in molecular packing, HOMO-LUMO gap, and π-π interactions are found to be strikingly similar. TFT measurements indicate that all members of the fluorinated series are n-type semiconductors

Abstract Organic semiconductors (OSC) are generally considered intrinsic (undoped), an assumption which underpins our understanding of the charge transport in this promising class of materials. However, this premise conflicts with a variety of experimental observations, that suggest the presence of excess holes carriers in OSCs at room temperature. Here, using a low-power plasma de-doping method, we report that trace amounts (~1015 cm-3) of oxygen-induced organic radical cations (OIORCs) are inherent in the lattice of OSCs as innate hole carriers, and that this is the origin of the p-type characteristics exhibited by the majority of these materials. This finding clarifies previously unexplained organic electronics phenomena and provides a foundation upon which to re-understand charge transport in OSCs. Furthermore, the de-doping method can eliminate the trace OIORCs, resulting in the complete disappearance of p-type behavior, while re-doping (under light irradiation in O2), reverses the process. These methods can precisely modulate key electronic characteristics (e.g., conductivity, polarity, and threshold voltage) in a nondestructive way, expanding the explorable charge transport property space for all known OSC materials. Accordingly, we conclude that our tailorable OIORC doping strategy, requiring only off-the-shelf equipment and a glovebox, will become a core technology in the burgeoning organic electronics industry.

AbstractOrganic semiconductors exhibiting complementary n-type carrier mobility are the key components for the development of the field of “plastic electronics”. We present here a novel series of oligothiophenes designed to improve performance and stability under electron- transporting conditions. Furthermore, the key structural features of these compounds allows additional modifications of the n-type conducting core to achieve material solubility and processability. Thin film transistor (TFT) devices were fabricated employing both vacuum- and solution-deposited semiconducting layers. Field-effect transistor measurements indicate that all the members of this new series are n-type semiconductors with mobilities and Ion:Ioff ratios approaching 1 cm2/(Vs) and 107, respectively. This family represents a key milestone in the design, understanding, and development of the next generation of highly efficient n-type OTFT components.

Ferrocenes are ubiquitous organometallic building blocks that comprise a Fe atom sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings that rotate freely at room temperature. Of widespread interest in fundamental studies and real-world applications, they have also attracted<br>some interest as functional elements of molecular-scale devices. Here we investigate the impact of<br>the configurational degrees of freedom of a ferrocene derivative on its single-molecule junction<br>conductance. Measurements indicate that the conductance of the ferrocene derivative, which is<br>suppressed by two orders of magnitude as compared to a fully conjugated analog, can be modulated<br>by altering the junction configuration. Ab initio transport calculations show that the low conductance is a consequence of destructive quantum interference effects that arise from the hybridization of metal-based d-orbitals and the ligand-based π-system. By rotating the Cp rings, the hybridization, and thus the quantum interference, can be mechanically controlled, resulting in a conductance modulation that is seen experimentally.<br>

<p><strong>A</strong><strong>bstract</strong><strong>. </strong>This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model to improve student learning outcomes. This research is important because the lecture learning model makes learning meaningless so it impacts on low learning outcomes. This research uses quasi experiment using control class and experimental class. Respondents in this study were students of class X SMK 8 Semarang Academic Year 2017/2018. Sample selection using random sampling, class X1 is <em>used</em> as a control class and X2 is an experimental class. The experimental class was given an intervention by learning Teams Games Tournaments (TGT), while the control class used lecture learning. The effectiveness of the model was measured by the student test analysis method. then analyzed by completeness test and average difference test. The findings of this study are the learning outcomes of experimental class students achieving better learning outcomes than classes using the lecture method.</p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Learning Model, Teams Games Tournaments (TGT)</em><em>.

Glycoproteins and glycopeptides are an interesting focus of research, because of their potential use as therapeutic agents, since they are related to carbohydrate-carbohydrate, carbohydrate-protein, and carbohydrate-lipid interactions, which are commonly involved in biological processes. It has been established that natural glycoconjugates could be an important source of templates for the design and development of molecules with therapeutic applications. However, isolating large quantities of glycoconjugates from biological sources with the required purity is extremely complex, because these molecules are found in heterogeneous environments and in very low concentrations. As an alternative to solving this problem, the chemical synthesis of glycoconjugates has been developed. In this context, several methods for the synthesis of glycopeptides in solution and/or solid-phase have been reported. In most of these methods, glycosylated amino acid derivatives are used as building blocks for both solution and solid-phase synthesis. The synthetic viability of glycoconjugates is a critical parameter for allowing their use as drugs to mitigate the impact of microbial resistance and/or cancer. However, the chemical synthesis of glycoconjugates is a challenge, because these molecules possess multiple reaction sites and have a very specific stereochemistry. Therefore, it is necessary to design and implement synthetic routes, which may involve various protection schemes but can be stereoselective, environmentally friendly, and high-yielding. This review focuses on glycopeptide synthesis by recapitulating the progress made over the last 15 years.

AbstractNeural interfaces are bioelectronic devices capable of stimulating a population of neurons or nerve fascicles and recording electrical signals in a specific area. Despite their success in restoring sensory-motor functions in people with disabilities, their long-term exploitation is still limited by poor biocompatibility, mechanical mismatch between the device and neural tissue and the risk of a chronic inflammatory response upon implantation.In this context, the use of nature-derived materials can help address these issues. Examples of these materials, such as extracellular matrix proteins, peptides, lipids and polysaccharides, have been employed for decades in biomedical science. Their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability in the absence of toxic compound release, physiochemical properties that are similar to those of human tissues and reduced immunogenicity make them outstanding candidates to improve neural interface biocompatibility and long-term implantation safety. The objective of this review is to highlight progress and challenges concerning the impact of nature-derived materials on neural interface design. The use of these materials as biocompatible coatings and as building blocks of insulation materials for use in implantable neural interfaces is discussed. Moreover, future perspectives are presented to show the increasingly important uses of these materials for neural interface fabrication and their possible use for other applications in the framework of neural engineering.
