A novel fluoranthene based fluorescent chemosensor for the detection of picric acid (PA) at parts per billion (ppb) level was evaluated. Static fluorescence quenching dominant process by intercalative π–π interaction between (S1) and nitroaromatics.
Commonly, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters present a twisted donor–acceptor structure. Here, electronic communication is mediated through-bond via π-conjugation between donor and acceptor groups. A second class of TADF are those where moieties through-space. In these through-space charge-transfer (TSCT) architectures, the groups disposed in pseudocofacial orientation linked bridging group that typically an arene (or heteroarene). most systems, there no direct evidence...
A series of fluoranthene derivatives (F1–F5) varied with nature and type substituents were synthesized via Diels–Alder reaction followed by in situ decarbonylation. The solid state structures have been established through single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). presence extended conjugation having two alkyloxy chains on phenyl rings induces flexibility to orient opposite each other interacts another unit weak π–π interactions show unique supramolecular arrangements. envisaged photophysical...
Abstract Herein we report a novel fluoranthene‐based fluorescent fluorophore 7,10‐bis(4‐bromophenyl)‐8,9‐bis[4‐(hexyloxy)phenyl]fluoranthene ( S 3 ) and its remarkable properties in applications of explosive detection. The sensitivity towards the detection nitroaromatics (NACs) was evaluated through fluorescence quenching solution, vapor, contact mode approaches. approach using thin‐layer silica chromatograp‐ hic plates exhibited femtogram (1.15 fg cm −2 limit for trinitrotoluene (TNT)...
In this study, we explore the impact of halogen functionalization on photophysical properties commonly used organic light-emitting diode (OLED) host material, 1,3-bis(N-carbazolyl)benzene (mCP). Derivatives with different numbers and types substituents mCP were synthesized. By measuring steady-state transient photoluminescence at 6 K, study type, number, position halogens intersystem crossing phosphorescence rates compounds. particular, 5 bromine atoms results in a significant increase rate...
We have successfully developed blue-emitting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) compounds derived from 2CzPN. They display novel electrochemiluminescence properties, these revealing correlations with measured Δ E ST values.
In this study, we report synthesis of symmetrically and non-symmetrically functionalized fluoranthene-based blue fluorescent molecular materials for non-doped electroluminescent devices.
The electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence (ECL), and chemiluminescence (CL) properties of a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter 4,4'-(1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene-5,6-diyl)bis(N,N-diphenylaniline) (TPA-ace-TRZ) three its analogues were investigated. TPA-ace-TRZ exhibits both (a) onset ECL (b) long-persistent luminescence, which we have attributed to the formation an aggregate excited state in excimer or exciplex form. evidence this was consistent across annihilation...

Thiophene, a key building block for the construction of conjugated materials, has been scarcely studied in halogen bonding (XB)-driven self-assemblies. In present study, two thiophene derivatives modified at position 3 were (co-)crystallized using complementary XB donor/acceptor functional groups. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed presence and chalcogen acting, most cases, concomitantly. While majority structures are governed by conventional N···I motif, additional S···N...

Single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have been explored for various applications, ranging from water desalination to osmotic power harvesting. However, no simulation work so far has modeled the changes in partial charge distribution when a flat sheet is rolled into tube, hindering ability perform accurate molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of flow through BNNTs. To address this knowledge gap, we employ electronic density functional theory (DFT) calculations precisely estimate...
