Polymerizations of Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Type Dyes in Unconventional Orientation

Abstract

Two diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-derived monomers with extended π-conjugated skeletons are synthesized for polymerization in unconventional orientation. The π-conjugations in the monomers are either strengthened by resonance-assisted hydrogen bonds or by difluoroboron complexes. The pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPY-type monomer can be polymerized to give polymers with conjugated backbones completely different from any previously reported DPP-type polymers. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the monomers and the polymers were studied. The semiconducting properties of the polymers were investigated in organic field-effect transistor devices. An average hole mobility of 0.10 cm 2 V −1 s −1 has been achieved with one of the polymers. The results have demonstrated that DPP-type monomers can be polymerized in unconventional orientation to form polymers with interesting semiconducting properties.

Recent Advances in Preparation and Structure of Polyurethane Porous Materials for Sound Absorbing Application

“…Zhang et al have employed vacuum impregnation process to incorporate phosphorus-containing graphene oxide (D-GO) as a filler in PU foam to synthesize the D-GO composited PUF. [90] The stacking of D-GO sheets within the skeletons of the foam greatly lengthened the propagation path sound wave. The highest aver-age SAC was 0.76, representing a 245.45% enhancement compared to PUF.…”

“…The result shows that an average hole mobility of 0.10 cm 2 V À1 s À1 has been achieved with 33. 102 In addition, flexible materials are also significant for the development of high-performance semiconductors. In 2023, Meng et al developed two novel asymmetric electron acceptors 34-35 presenting multiple conformational isomers with flat torsional potentials for flexible electronics.…”

Novel butterfly-shaped AIE-active pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPYs: synthesis, bioimaging and diamine/polyamine detection

“…Their absorption and emission wavelengths can be readily tunable by changing heteroaromatic ring units (long axis) and aryl substituents on DPP (short axis) in the chemical structure. 4 PPAB dyes have been widely utilized in two-photon absorption materials, 5 photo thermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging, 6,7 cancer therapy, 8 amine detection, [9][10][11] organic photovoltaics, [12][13][14][15] bioimaging, 16 organic field-effect transistors, 17 chemiluminescence (ECL), 18 etc. However, during practical applications, they suffer from a strong aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect because the planar molecular structure of hydrophobic PPAB dyes easily forms intermolecular p-p stacking.…”
