Aromatic Donor–Acceptor Charge-Transfer and Metal-Ion-Complexation-Assisted Folding of a Synthetic Polymer

Aromatic donor-acceptor charge-transfer and metal-ion-complexation-assisted folding of a synthetic polymer.

Synthetic polymers typically adopt a random-coil conformation in solution primarily driven by the tendency to maximize entropy. Generation of well-defined secondary structures in synthetic polymers, therefore, will need to include specific intrachain intersegment interactions that will provide adequate enthalpic contribution to overcome this entropic penalty associated with the formation of wel...

Charge-transfer complexation between naphthalene diimides and aromatic solvents.

Naphthalene diimides (NDIs) form emissive ground-state charge-transfer (CT) complexes with various electron rich aromatic solvents like benzene, o-xylene and mesitylene. TD-DFT calculation of the complexes suggests CT interaction and accounts for the observed ground-state changes.

Charge-Transfer Complexation of C with Diphenyltetrathiafulvalene

m 0 7 r m a d s a t p f t u 4,4*-Diphenyltetrathiafulvalene (DPTTF) capped gold nanoarticles of 3to 5-nm diameter have been prepared and their hermal stability has been investigated by variable temperature T–IR spectroscopy. The DPTTF molecules at the cluster surface ndergo charge-transfer complexation with C60 to form Au/ PTTF.C60. Direct evidence of complexation is observed in the -ray photoe...

Photoinduced charge accumulation by metal ion-coupled electron transfer.

An oligotriarylamine (OTA) unit, a Ru(bpy)3(2+) photosensitizer moiety (Ru), and an anthraquinone (AQ) entity were combined to a molecular dyad (Ru-OTA) and a molecular triad (AQ-Ru-OTA). Pulsed laser excitation at 532 nm led to the formation of charge-separated states of the type Ru(-)-OTA(+) and AQ(-)-Ru-OTA(+) with lifetimes of ≤10 ns and 2.4 μs, respectively, in de-aerated CH3CN at 25 °C. U...
