The reaction between perfluorobenzophenone and aromatic amines proceeds with the substitution of one or more fluorine atoms. The regiochemistry of this substitution is controlled by solvent polarity, temperature, and nucleophilic character of the amine. o‐Anilinononafluorobenzophenone can be selectively transformed into acridines or acridones by using acid or base catalysis through electrocyclization or aromatic nucleophilic substitution.
International audienceThe synthesis of random and diblock copolymers of poly(3-alkylthiophene)s bearing polar substituents was successfully developed by GRIM polymerization. 3-Hexyl-thiophene was successfully copolymerised with a new derivative, 3-functionalised-thiophene (propyl 5-(2-(thiophen-3-yl)ethoxy)pentanoate), bearing an ester function. Under optimized conditions, this ester proved to be fully compatible with the Grignard metathesis polymerization. Saponification of the copolymer esters provided the corresponding polyacids. Photovoltaic properties of copolymers were investigated in bulk heterojunction devices with PC61BM as acceptor. Among all the amphiphilic copolymers, P3HT-b-P3AcidHT showed the best performance with a PCE of 4.2%, an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.60 V, a short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 13.0 mA cm−2, and a fill factor (FF) of 0.60
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
