Abstract
Organic semiconductors are photonic and electronic materials with high luminescence, quantum efficiency, color tunability, and size-dependent optoelectronic properties. The self-assembly of organic molecules enables the establishment of a fabrication technique for organic micro- and nano-architectures with well-defined shapes, tunable sizes, and defect-free structures. DNAs, a class of biomacromolecules, have recently been used as an engineering material capable of intricate nanoscale structuring while simultaneously storing biological genetic information. Here, the up-to-date research on hybrid materials made from organic semiconductors and DNAs is presented. The trends in photonic and electronic phenomena discovered in DNA-functionalized and DNA-driven organic semiconductor hybrids, comprising small molecules and polymers, are observed. Various hybrid forms of solutions, arrayed chips, nanowires, and crystalline particles are discussed, focusing on the role of DNA in the hybrids. Furthermore, the recent technical advances achieved in the integration of DNAs in light-emitting devices, transistors, waveguides, sensors, and biological assays are presented. DNAs not only serve as a recognizing element in organic-semiconductor-based sensors, but also as an active charge-control material in high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Macromol Rapid Commun 2020; 42:e2000522. [PMID: 33210389 DOI: 10.1002/marc.202000522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2020] [Revised: 10/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
This work reports the design and synthesis of two nonaromatic biocompatible macromolecular luminogens, i.e., 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-co-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl 3-(N-(methylol)acrylamido)-2-methylpropanoate-co-N-(methylol)acrylamide/DMAEMA-co-DMAENMAMP-co-NMA (P1) and methacrylic acid-co-3-(N-(methylol)acrylamido)-2-methylpropanoic acid-co-N-(methylol)acrylamide/MEA-co-NMAMPA-co-NMA (P2), prepared through in situ anchored acrylamido-ester/DMAENMAMP and acrylamido-acid/NMAMPA third comonomers, respectively, in a facile polymerization of two non-luminous monomers in water medium to circumvent the drawbacks related to aggregation-caused quenching of aromatic luminogens. The structures of P1/P2, in situ anchored comonomers, fluorophores, N-branching associated n-π* interactions, and hydrogen bonding assisted aggregation-enhanced emissions are comprehended by nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fluorescence lifetime, and fluorescence imaging. P1 and P2 are appropriate for sensitive detections/exclusions of Fe(III)/Cu(II) and cell-imaging. The intrinsic fluorescence, on-off sensing, selective coordinations of Fe(III) and Cu(II) with fluorophores, emission quenching mechanisms, and removals of Fe(III) and Cu(II) are investigated by DFT/NTO analyses of P1/P2 and Fe(III)-P1 and Cu(II)-P2 complexes, XPS, and isotherms and kinetics parameters. The excellent biocompatibilities, comparable limit of detections, i.e., 1.70 × 10-7 and 1.59 × 10-7 [m], and higher adsorption capacities, i.e., 77.25 and 154.13 mg g-1 , at low ppm; 303 K; and pH = 7 compel P1/P2 to be acceptable for multipurpose applications.
