In this regard, impressive progress has been made on the defluorinative functionalization reactions that proceed via radical intermediates. Nevertheless, it is still a great challenge to precisely control the defluorination process, due to the continuous decrease of the C-F bond strength after the replacement of one or two fluorine atoms with various functionalities. This review article is aimed to provide a brief overview of recently reported methods used to functionalize C-F bonds of CF_(3) groups via radical intermediates. An emphasis is placed on the discussion of mechanistic aspects and synthetic applications.展开更多

Their optical and electrochemical prop- erties have been studied, and the results show that those fulleropyrrolidines containing --CF3 group have good fluo- rescence and electrochemical properties. Compared with C60, they have negative shifts in varying degrees for half-wave potentials, and may have potential applications for photovoltaic conversion materials since their lowest unoccupied molecular orbital （LUMO） levels are close to that of [6,6]-phenyl-C6：butyric acid methyl ester.展开更多

Herein, we report an effective strategy to improve the performance of HTMs by introducing −CF_(3) groups via the rational decorative mode. Upon direct attachment or nonconjugated alkoxyl bridging of −CF_(3) groups on the terminal diphenylamines, the resulting molecular HTMs, i.e., 2,7-BCzA4CF_(3) and 2,7-BCzA4OCCF_(3), show distinct properties. Compared with 2,7-BCzA4CF_(3), the nonconjugated alkoxyl bridging −CF_(3) group-based 2,7-BCzA4OCCF_(3) exhibits better thermal stability, hydrophobicity, and a dramatically upgraded hole mobility by 135.7-fold of magnitude to 1.71 × 10^(−4) cm^(2) V^(−1) S^(−1). The PSCs with 2,7-BCzA4OCCF_(3) as HTM exhibit an PCE of up to 20.53% and excellent long-term stability, maintaining 92.57% of their performance for 30 days in air with humidity of 30% without encapsulation. This work provides beneficial guidelines for the design of new HTMs for efficient and stable PSCs.展开更多
A new fluorinated poly(ether amide) bearing xanthene group was prepared from 9,9-bis[4-(2-trifluoromethyl-4-aminophenox- y)phenyl]xanthene (BTFAPX) with 9,9-bis[4-(4-carboxyphenoxy)phenyl]xanthene (BCAPX) in the prese...A new fluorinated poly(ether amide) bearing xanthene group was prepared from 9,9-bis[4-(2-trifluoromethyl-4-aminophenox- y)phenyl]xanthene (BTFAPX) with 9,9-bis[4-(4-carboxyphenoxy)phenyl]xanthene (BCAPX) in the presence of triphenyl phos- phate and pyridine (Py). The polymer had the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 69,000 and number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 39,000, showed the glass transition temperature (Tg) of 267 ℃, 5% weight loss temperature (Tds) over 460 ℃ both in N2 and air, and char yield of 62% at 800 ℃ in N2. This polymer was amorphous and readily soluble in amide-type solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), and even in m-cressol, Py and tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature, and exhibited tensile strength of 74 MPa, elongation at break of 6%, tensile moduli of 2.2 GPa. The polymer had low dielectric constant of 3.69 (100 Hz), low moisture absorption of 0.56%, and high transparency with an ultraviolet-visible absorption cut-off wavelength at 334 nm.展开更多
