“…One deviation of this trend, however, was the case of [TC1] [TPB], which demonstrated a much higher QY. Overall, these authors were able to elucidate anion trends for GUMBOS-ERDs and confirm their utility as FRET cosensitizing agents in DSSCs [34].…”

“…Kolic et al have investigated different GUMBOS, including the aforementioned PIC-based GUMBOS, to determine effects on DSSC performances [34]. These dyes were employed as energy relay dyes (ERDs) in electrolyte solutions, where FRET occurs to donate electrons from ERD molecules in electrolyte solution to photosensitizing dye at the electrode surface.…”

“…In fact, the literature on development of novel methodologies based on use of ionic liquids (ILs), a group of uniform materials based on organic salts (GUMBOS), and nanoGUMBOS is increasing at an ever-expanding rate. For example, numerous studies from the literature can be cited for utility of such materials in diverse areas such as antibiotics [13][14][15], cancer therapy [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], hydrogels [25,26], cellular imaging [27,28], chirality [29][30][31][32][33], dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) [34][35][36], extractions [37][38][39], gel electrophoresis [40,41], detection of reactive oxygen species [42], liquid crystals [43], mass spectrometry [44], nanomaterials [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52], optoelectronics [53][54][55][56], sensors [57]…”

Ionic Liquids - Thermophysical Properties and Applications

Ionic liquids (ILs) are defined as organic salts with melting points below 100 °C. Such ionic compounds are typically formed using bulky cations and/or bulky anions in order to produce liquids or lower melting solids. ILs have been widely explored in several research areas including catalysis, remediation, solvents, separations, and many others. The utility of such compounds has also been recently broadened to include solid phase ionic materials. Thus, researchers have pushed the boundaries of ILs chemistry toward the solid state and have hypothesized that valuable properties of ILs can be preserved and fine-tuned to achieve comparable properties in the solid state. In addition, as with ILs, tunability of these solid-phase materials can be achieved through simple counterion metathesis reactions. These solid-state forms of ILs have been designated as a group of uniform materials based on organic salts (GUMBOS). In contrast to ILs, these materials have an expanded melting point range of 25 to 250 °C. In this chapter, we focus on recent developments and studies from the literature that provide for fine tuning and enhancing properties through transformation and recycling of diverse ionic compounds such as dyes, antibiotics, and others into solid state ionic materials of greater utility.

GUMBOS (group of uniform materials based on organic salts) are a new class of solid organic ionic materials that shared similar properties as that of ionic liquids, but have a wider range of melting points from 25°C to 250°C. A large number of combinations have been made to design and synthesize multifunctional GUMBOS with tuned properties that are encouraged to explore these organic materials for various applications. Further, nanomaterials can be fabricated from GUMBOS through various reliable synthetic approaches. These nanomaterials have known as ‚nanoGUMBOS' that possessed advantageous properties at the nanoscale and can be used for target applications. Besides, the size, shape, and uniformity of nanomaterials can be tuned by varying different experimental parameters, and synthetic routes. This review is divided into two parts and presents all the published data regarding GUMBOS and nanoGUMBOS. The first part enclosed the synthesis of GUMBOS as well as their potential applications in the field of analytical, optoelectronics, biology, and sensor technology. In the second part, the synthesis of nanoGUMBOS using different methods and their applications in the field of cellular imaging, optoelectronics, catalysis, enantiorecognition, and sensor technology will be highlighted.

Increasing Photovoltaic Performance of an Organic Cationic Chromophore by Anion Exchange

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A symmetrical cyanine dye chromophore is modified with different counteranions to study the effect on crystal packing, polarizability, thermal stability, optical properties, light absorbing layer morphology, and organic photovoltaic (OPV) device parameters. Four sulfonate‐based anions and the bulky bistriflylimide anion are introduced to the 2‐[5‐(1,3‐dihydro‐1,3,3‐trimethyl‐2H‐indol‐2‐ylidene)‐1,3‐pentadien‐1‐yl]‐1,3,3‐trimethyl‐3H‐indolium chromophore using an Amberlyst A26 (OH− form) anion exchanger. Anionic charge distribution clearly correlates with device performance, whereby an average efficiency of 2% was reached in a standard bilayer organic solar. Evidence is given that the negative charge of the anion distributed over a large number of atoms is significantly more important than the size of the organic moieties of the sulfonate charge carrying group. This provides a clear strategy for future design of more efficient cyanine dyes for OPV applications.
