Synthesis and characterization of novel aromatic polyamides bearing CF3, quinoxaline-anthraquinone pendants: Study of photophysical and electrochemical properties by using nanocomposite electrode paste

Functional Aromatic Polyamides

We describe herein the state of the art following the last 8 years of research into aromatic polyamides, wholly aromatic polyamides or aramids. These polymers belong to the family of high performance materials because of their exceptional thermal and mechanical behavior. Commercially, they have been transformed into fibers mainly for production of advanced composites, paper, and cut and fire protective garments. Huge research efforts have been carried out to take advantage of the mentioned characteristics in advanced fields related to transport applications, optically active materials, electroactive materials, smart materials, or materials with even better mechanical and thermal behavior.

Synthesis and optoelectronic investigations of triarylamines based on naphtho[2,3-f]quinoxaline-7,12-dione core as donor–acceptors for n-type materials

We have synthesized a new series of fully characterized donor–acceptor systems (2–7) involving electron donor triarylamines and electron acceptor naphtho[2,3-f]quinoxaline-7,12-dione by employing palladium catalyzed C–N bond forming amination reactions in good yields.
