Self-Organizing Surface-Initiated Polymerization of Multicomponent Photosystems: Stack Exchange with Fullerenes

چکیده
Like beads on a string: A synthetic method for the directional construction of strings of spherical fullerenes along stacks of planar oligothiophenes is described. The key to success was the preparation of fullerenes with two solubilizing tri(ethylene glycol) tails (bold) and an aromatic aldehyde for covalent capture by hydrazides along the oligothiophene stacks (red).

Directional stack exchange along oriented oligothiophene stacks.
Directional growth of π-basic oligothiophene stacks on solid substrates is achieved by self-organizing, surface-initiated disulfide exchange polymerization. Successful addition of co-axial π-acidic stacks by templated hydrazone exchange provides general access to multicomponent architectures of unique complexity.
متن کاملMultistep organic synthesis of modular photosystems
Quite extensive synthetic achievements vanish in the online supporting information of publications on functional systems. Underappreciated, their value is recognized by experts only. As an example, we here focus in on the recent synthesis of multicomponent photosystems with antiparallel charge-transfer cascades in co-axial hole- and electron-transporting channels. The synthetic steps are descri...
متن کاملSelf-organizing surface-initiated polymerization, templated self-sorting and templated stack exchange: synthetic methods to build complex systems.
In nature, spectacular function is achieved by highly sophisticated supramolecular architectures. Little is known what we would obtain if we could create complexity with similar precision, because the synthetic methods to do so are not available. This account summarizes recent approaches conceived to improve on this situation. With self-organizing surface-initiated polymerization (SOSIP), charg...
متن کاملElectron-deficient fullerenes in triple-channel photosystems.
Fullerenes of increasing electron deficiency are designed, synthesized and evaluated in multicomponent surface architectures to ultimately build gradients in LUMO levels with nine components over 350 meV down to -4.22 eV.
متن کاملNitroxide-Mediated Radical Polymerization of Styrene Initiated from the Surface of Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, with an average size of about 45 nm, were encapsulated by polystyrene using in situ nitroxide mediated radical polymerization in the presence of 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (APTES) as a coupling agent and 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy as a initiator. First, the initiator for NMRP was covalently bonded onto the surface of Titanium dioxide na...
