The donor-acceptor (D-A)-type diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based small molecules (LGC-D117 and LGC-D118) were synthesized and used as the active layer of solution-processable organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Both LGC-D117 and LGC-D118 contain silaindacenodithiophene as electron-donor units with DPP as an electron-accepting linker, and octylrhodanine as the electron-accepting end group. The molecules were functionalized with different side chains to study their effects on OFET characteristics. LGC-D117 has a simple branched alkyl side chain, whereas LGC-D118 features a bulky siloxane-terminated hybrid alkyl chain. The siloxane side chains of LGC-D118 account for its better crystallinity, leading to significantly high field-effect mobility (max 3.04 cm2 V−1 s−1). In particular, LGC-D118 is well soluble and sustains the high mobility in the environmentally friendly 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solvent with low temperature annealing at 100 °C due to the bulky siloxane-terminated alkyl side chain.

Continuous flow nanocatalysis: reaction pathways in the conversion of levulinic acid to valuable chemicals

The selective production of 2-methylterahydrofuran from levulinic acid has been effectively conducted using designed Cu based catalysts and compared with a commercial Pd/C system under microwave irradiation. Optimised conditions for the most active catalysts Cu-MINT (>90% conversion, 75% selectivity to MTHF) and Pd/C (78% conversion, 92% selectivity to MTHF) were further translated into a continuous flow process using the proposed catalysts to find out a deactivation of Cu-MINT under flow conditions (79 vs 13% conversion with a switch in selectivity to products after 30 min in flow), a high stability of Pd/C (73 vs 70% conversion at stable selectivity under analogous conditions to those of Cu-MINT) but most importantly relevant varying pathways to valuable products from levulinic acid depending on the type of catalyst employed.

Biomass is a renewable and abundant feedstock that is poised to become a future alternative to petroleum as the understanding and technology surrounding catalytic biomass conversion and biorefineries progresses. A relevant research avenue explored in recent years deals with biomass deconstruction into simpler compounds (platform chemicals) by overcoming its recalcitrant and complex structure and subsequently converting these building blocks into value-added chemicals, fuels and materials in a similar way to that of current refineries. This contribution is aimed at providing a short overview of biomass processing chemistry by illustrating some relevant examples of catalytic strategies for biorefineries.Article note: A collection of invited papers based on presentations at the 2 nd Brazilian Symposium on Biorefineries (II SNBr), Brasília, Brazil, 24-26 September 2013.
