چکیده

A novel nickel dithiolene-containing polymer, generated by the electropolymerisation of pendent indole units, has been prepared and shows good stability and fast reversible switching of the near infrared absorption by varying the applied potential of the film.

Near-infrared chiro-optical effects in metallogels.

A series of novel metallogelators containing near-IR nickel-bis(dithiolene) absorbers were rationally designed and synthesized. Robust gel networks are formed by right handed helical 1D-nanofibers which generate strong and remarkable chiro-optical effects in the near-infrared region.

Ordered alignment of a one-dimensional π-conjugated nickel bis(dithiolene) complex polymer produced via interfacial reactions.

A liquid-liquid interfacial synthesis using 1,2,4,5-benzenetetrathiol and nickel(II) ions produced a thin black film of a π-conjugated polymer featuring the nickel bis(dithiolene) motif. Its ordered structure was not originally identified due to its amorphicity; however, it was observed to align regularly on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate using scanning tunnelling microscopy.

Electrically switchable cylindrical Fresnel lens based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals using a Michelson interferometer

Fabricating an electrically switchable cylindrical Fresnel lens based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (H-PDLC) using a Michelson interferometer is reported. Simplicity of the method and possibility of fabricating different focal length lenses in a single set up are among the advantages of the method. It is demonstrated that the Fresnel structured zone plate acts as a cylindrica...

Infrared electrochromic conducting polymer devices

The conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is well known for its electrochromic properties in the visible region. Less focus has been devoted to the infrared (IR) wavelength range, although tunable IR properties could enable a wide range of novel applications. As an example, modern day vehicles have thermal cameras to identify pedestrians and animals in total darkness, but ...

Computational Modeling of Spectral Properties of Nickel Dithiolene Dyes

Nickel dithiolene dyes, noted for their intense long-wavelength electronic transitions, have been notoriously dificult molecules to model. This study has investigated the use of timedependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to model these dyes. The absorption spectra of an extensive set of near-infrared nickel dithiolene dyes have been evaluated for the first time using TDDFT. Bulk solvent ef...
