Abstract When a water drop is placed onto soft polymer network, wetting ridge develops at the periphery. The height of this typically governed by surface tension balanced elastic restoring forces network. However, situation more complex when network swollen with fluid, because fluid may separate from contact line. Here we study separation and deformation line polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone oil. By controlling both degrees crosslinking swelling, find that separates increasing swelling....
Drops in contact with swollen, elastomeric substrates can induce a capillary mediated phase separation wetting ridges. Using confocal microscopy, we visualize of oligomeric silicone oil from cross-linked network during steady-state sliding water drops. We find an inverse relationship between the tip height and drop speed, which is rationalized by competing transport timescales molecules: rate versus drop-advection speed. Separation rates highly swollen networks are as fast diffusion pure melts.

Abstract In this work, we present a new synthetic strategy for fourfold‐substituted perylene monoimides via tetrabrominated monoanhydrides. X‐ray diffraction analysis unveiled the intramolecular stacking orientation between substituents and semicircular packing behavior.

A useful and straightforward synthetic approach to afford heteroarenes by symmetrical annulation of two benzofuran units 1,8-naphthalene anhydrides, through a regioselective one-pot Sn–Ar/C–H activation tandem reaction is introduced herein. Two pathways are compared, highlighting that the utilization diester derivatives improves: (i) compatibility with key ring expansion step, (ii) solubility intermediate thus facilitating its purification, (iii) versatility final imidization. The...
In this study, we explore the untapped potential of ketocoumarins as photosensitizers for light driven hydrogen evolution.
Supramolecular dye structures, which are often ruled by π–π interactions between planar chromophores, crucially determine the optoelectronic properties of layers and interfaces. Here, we present interfacial assembly perylene monoanhydride monoimide that do not feature a chromophore but contain chlorine substituents in bay positions to yield twisted chromophores hence modified π-stacking. The is driven their amphiphilicity ensures proper Langmuir layer formation. shielding hydrophilic segment...

A new set of perylene-based [Fe2S2(CO)6] photocatalyst dyads was synthesized and characterized. Four different strategies were employed to facilitate photoinduced electron transfer from the chromophore catalytically active site, increasing chance for successful photocatalytic proton reduction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements demonstrated covalent attachment catalyst provided insights on oxidation states iron.
