We have prepared new chiral Schiff base complexes, and copper(Ⅱ) (2) to investigate steric effect of ligands for 1 and bis(N-R-l-phenylethyl-5- methoxysalicydenaminato) nickel(Ⅱ) (1) 2 and known bis(N-R-l...We have prepared new chiral Schiff base complexes, and copper(Ⅱ) (2) to investigate steric effect of ligands for 1 and bis(N-R-l-phenylethyl-5- methoxysalicydenaminato) nickel(Ⅱ) (1) 2 and known bis(N-R-l-phenylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato) nickel(Ⅱ) (3) and copper(Ⅱ) (4). By using two kinds of photochromic dyes, disperse red 1 (DRI) and azobenzene (AZ), we investigated the efficiency of increasing optical anisotropy of organic/inorganic hybrid materials of 1 through 4+AZ or DRI+PMMA in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cast films by Weigert effect (and compared with cis-trans isomerization by alternate UV and visible light for 3 and 4 to previous study). Gradual increase of optical anisotropy was observed for all the hybrid materials regardless of flexibility of Schiff base complexes, and the degree of dichroism and weak intermolecular interactions were discussed based on polarized absorption electronic spectra.展开更多

Since first reported in 1990, MOFs have attracted extensive attention and the fabrication of MOF membranes has expanded their applications and endowed them with a bright future in various fields. The mass transportation process through MOF membranes is vital during their diverse applications. In this review, the strategies of preparing continuous and well-intergrown MOF membranes are presented firstly.The selective transportation processes of gas molecules, liquid molecules and ions through MOF membranes are discussed in detail, respectively. The effects of pore entrance size, interaction, functional groups decorating on the ligands and guest components on mass transportation have been summarized in this review as well. In addition, MOF membranes with selective transportation performance demonstrate potential in separation, catalysis, energy transformation and storage devices,and so on.展开更多

We report the characteristic electronic properties of PBI anionic films. We unexpectedly discovered that pristine PBI dianion film showed p-type character, while oxidized dianion film(dominant neutral state with few radical anions) showed normal n-type semiconductor character based on Seebeck effect measurements. Both kinds of films exhibit high electrical conductivity with a potential for thermoelectric applications. The mechanism of polarity reversal is proposed.展开更多
The hole and electron mobilities of the amorphous films of the organic semiconductor 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) at different electric fields were measured through the time of flight (TOF) method. Based on ...The hole and electron mobilities of the amorphous films of the organic semiconductor 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) at different electric fields were measured through the time of flight (TOF) method. Based on its crystalline structure, the hole and electron mobilities of CBP were calculated. A detailed comparison between experimental and theoretical results is necessary for further understanding its charge transport properties. In order to do this, charge mobilities at zero electric field, μ(0), were deduced from experimental data as a link between experimental and theoretical data. It was found that the electron transport of CBP is less affected by traps compared with its hole transport. This unusual phenomenon can be understood through the distributions of frontier molecular orbitals. We showed that designing materials with frontier molecular orbitals localized at the center of the molecule has the potency to reduce the influence of traps on charge transport and provide new insights into designing high mobility charge transport materials.展开更多
