Two-photon fluorescent microporous bithiophene polymer via Suzuki cross-coupling.

A microporous bithiophene polymer (MBP) stable up to 460 °C was synthesized using bithiophene and biphenyl as building blocks through Suzuki cross-coupling. The as-obtained MBP product exhibits green fluorescence peaked at 530 nm, and most interestingly, a two-photon fluorescence was observable from MBP upon excitation by an 800 nm femtosecond laser.

Modulation of microporous/mesoporous structures in self-templated cobalt-silica

Finite control of pore size distributions is a highly desired attribute when producing porous materials. While many methodologies strive to produce such materials through one-pot strategies, oftentimes the pore structure requires post-treatment modification. In this study, modulation of pore size in cobalt-silica systems was investigated by a novel, non-destructive, self-templated method. These...

Microporous polymer network films covalently bound to gold electrodes.

Covalent attachment of a microporous polymer network (MPN) on a gold surface is presented. A functional bromophenyl-based self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formed on the gold surface acts as co-monomer in the polymerisation of the MPN yielding homogeneous and robust coatings. Covalent binding of the films to the electrode is confirmed by SEIRAS measurements.

Microporous sulfur-doped carbon from thienyl-based polymer network precursors.

Porous sulfur-doped carbon was synthesised by using a thienyl-based polymer network as a precursor. The sulfur amount varies from 5-23 m% while the materials show microporosity with BET surface areas of up to 711 m(2) g(-1).
