Electrochromic Behaviors of Nitrobenzene Derivatives

Electrochromic tetrathiafulvalene derivatives functionalised with 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole chromophores.

Electrochromism has been demonstrated by three novel electrochemically-reversible compounds and, which were synthesised by Pd catalysed cross-coupling of iodotrimethylTTF (6) and 2,6(7)-diiodoTTF (7) with the 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives 1 and 2 containing terminal ethyne and butadiyne groups.

Effect of Intra- and Intermolecular Interactions on the Properties of para-Substituted Nitrobenzene Derivatives

To study the influence of intraand intermolecular interactions on properties of the nitro group in para-substituted nitrobenzene derivatives, two sources of data were used: (i) Cambridge Structural Database and (ii) quantum chemistry modeling. In the latter case, “pure” intramolecular interactions were simulated by gradual rotation of the nitro group in para-nitroaniline, whereas H-bond formati...

The influence of charge trapping on the electrochromic performance of poly(3,4-alkylenedioxythiophene) derivatives.

This paper describes the electrochromic properties of a series of poly(3,4-alkylenedioxythiophene) (PXDOT) derivatives featuring various ring sizes and substitutions. The presence of a bulky group on the monomer resulted in a polymer possessing a more-open morphology, which promoted reversible ionic transfer. We used an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and cyclic voltammetry to inves...

Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene to Aniline

New Electrochromic Mirror Systems

Variable reflectance coatings (switchable mirrors) have significant advantages over traditional absorbing devices for radiant energy control in a variety of architectural and aerospace applications due to their large dynamic ranges in both transmission and reflection in the visible and near infrared regimes. Although electrochromic and gasochromic metal hydride films have been the primary focus...
