Although significant efforts were devoted to improving the properties of conductive polymers, effects solvent and supporting electrolytes on morphology electrochromic features electropolymerized materials have been scantly investigated. In this work, polymerization conditions, such as solvents electrolytes, morphological structure PEDOT films systematically studied. Surprisingly, we find a very effect small electrolyte effect. We show that also strongly correlate with properties. Films...
Conjugated polymers that can undergo unusual nonoxidative doping were designed. A series of based on donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) moieties 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, 2,1,3-benzoxadiazolebenzo[2,1,5]oxodiazole, and 2-hexylbenzotriazole as acceptor fragments 3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene (EDOS) 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) donor was prepared. When the studied reacted with Lewis acids bases, notable optical switching conductivity changes observed, evidencing exceptional...
The reactivity of the "long arm" PCN-type pincer ligand C6H4[CH2P(tBu)2](CH2)2N(CH3)2 (1), which forms complexes bearing a six-membered amine chelate and five-membered phosphine chelate, was compared with that new "normal" PCN C6H4[CH2P(tBu)2](CH2)N(CH2CH3)2 (2), leads to formation two chelates. chloride (PCN)PtCl (3, 4) unsaturated cationic [(PCN)Pt]+X- (X = BF4, OTf) (5, 6, 7), based on both ligands, were prepared reacted different reagents give aqua, [(PCN-1)Pt(H2O)]+BF4- (10); hydroxo,...
Abstract BACKGROUND One of the most significant contributors to global food crisis is grain loss during storage, mainly caused by pest insects. Currently, there are two main methods used for insect control: fumigation and protection using contact insecticides. As some chemical insecticides can harm humans environment, a tendency reduce their use finding alternative eco‐friendly approaches. RESULTS In this study, natural pest‐managing agent pulegone was encapsulated into coarse nano...
Pathogenic fungi cause major postharvest losses. During storage and ripening, fruit becomes highly susceptible to that disease. Fungicides are effective treatments limit However, due increased public concern for their possible side effects, there is a need develop new strategies control fungal pathogens. Botrytis cinerea, common pathogen, was shown uptake small double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules from the host plant. Such dsRNA can regulate gene expression through interference system. This...
In this work, we prepared a series of new conjugated polyselenophenes that, in the 3,4-positions selenophene ring, have oxygen or sulfur substituents bridged by phenylene moiety. Such substitution backbone produces skeleton that has only planar units, does not stereo centers, and offers potential to structurally modify polymer without impairing its conjugation. The reported exhibit significantly different properties as function heteroatom. combined with periphery creates rare combination...
