A Universal, Highly Stable Dopant System for Organic Semiconductors Based on Lewis-Paired Dopant Complexes. ACS ENERGY LETTERS 2024; 9:3567-3577. [PMID: 39022671 PMCID: PMC11249766 DOI: 10.1021/acsenergylett.4c01278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
Chemical doping of organic semiconductors is an essential enabler for applications in electronic and energy-conversion devices such as thermoelectrics. Here, Lewis-paired complexes are advanced as high-performance dopants that address all the principal drawbacks of conventional dopants in terms of limited electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and generality. The study focuses on the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 (BCF) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) bearing Lewis-basic -CN groups. Due to its high electron affinity, BCF:F4TCNQ dopes an exceptionally wide range of organic semiconductors, over 20 of which are investigated. Complex activation and microstructure control lead to conductivities for poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) exceeding 300 and 900 S cm-1 for isotropic and chain-oriented films, respectively, resulting in a 10 to 50 times larger thermoelectric power factor compared to those obtained with neat dopants. Moreover, BCF:F4TCNQ-doped P3HT exhibits a 3-fold higher thermal dedoping activation energy compared to that obtained with neat dopants and at least a factor of 10 better operational stability.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403827.

Abstract
Organic radicals with narrow energy gaps are highly sought-after for the production of near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores. However, the current repertoire of developed organic radicals is notably limited, facing challenges related to stability and low fluorescence efficiency. This study addresses these limitations by achieving stable radicals in nonconjugated poly(diphenylmethane) (PDPM). Notably, PDPM exhibits a well-balanced structural flexibility and rigidity, resulting in a robust intra-/inter-chain through-space conjugation (TSC). The stable radicals within PDPM, coupled with strong TSC, yield a remarkable full-spectrum emission spanning from blue to NIR beyond 900 nm. This extensive tunability is achieved through careful adjustments of concentration and excitation wavelength. The findings highlight the efficacy of polymerization in stabilizing radicals and introduce a novel approach for developing nonconjugated NIR emitters based on triphenylmethane subunits.

Abstract
Poly(phenylene methylene) (PPM) is a multifunctional polymer that is also active as an anticorrosion fluorescent coating material. Although this polymer was synthesized already more than 100 years ago, a versatile synthetic route to obtain soluble high molar mass polymers based on PPM has yet to be achieved. In this article, the influence of bifunctional bis-chloromethyl durene (BCMD) as a branching agent in the synthesis of PPM is reported. The progress of the reaction was followed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and NMR analysis. PPM-based copolymers with the highest molar mass reported so far for this class of materials (up to Mn of 205,300 g mol-1) were isolated. The versatile approach of using BCMD was confirmed by employing different catalysts. Interestingly, thermal and optical characterization established that the branching process does not affect the thermoplastic behavior and the fluorescence of the material, thus opening up PPM-based compounds with high molar mass for applications.

Abstract
The 1,4-dithiin motif is known for its reversible redox properties to generate radical cations and diradical dications and thus is interesting for organic electronic applications. However, examples where this motif is embedded into chiral larger fused aromatic compounds are very rare. Here we describe the syntheses of several structurally related pyrene fused dithiins and their spectroscopic investigations with a focus on tuning circular dichroism, with respect to the g values, depending on their connectivity.

Abstract
The length and mode of conjugation directly affect the molecular electronic structure, which has been extensively studied in through-bond conjugation (TBC) systems. Corresponding research greatly promotes the development of TBC-based luminophores. However, how the length and mode of through-space conjugation (TSC), one kind of weak interaction, influence the photophysical properties of non-conjugated luminophores remains a relatively unexplored field. Here, we unveil a non-linear relationship between TSC length and emission characteristics in non-conjugated systems, in contrast to the reported proportional correlation in TBC systems. More specifically, oligo(phenylene methylene)s (OPM[4]-OPM[7]) exhibit stronger TSC and prominent blue clusteroluminescence (CL) (≈440 nm) compared to shorter counterparts (OPM[2] and OPM[3]). OPM[6] demonstrates the highest solid-state quantum yield (40 %), emphasizing the importance of balancing flexibility and rigidity. Further theoretical calculations confirmed that CL of these oligo(phenylene methylene)s was determined by stable TSC derived from the inner rigid Diphenylmethane (DPM) segments within the oligomers instead of the outer ones. This discovery challenges previous assumptions and adds a new dimension to the understanding of TSC-based luminophores in non-conjugated systems.

Abstract
A straightforward approach is employed to synthesize methylene-bridged poly(hetero aromatic)s based on furan, pyrrole, thiophene, and thiophene derivatives. The process involves an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction facilitated by a visible light-initiated system consisting of manganese decacarbonyl and an iodonium salt. The approach mainly relies on the formation of halomethylium cation, the attack of this cation to heteroaromatic, regeneration of methylium cation on the heteroaromatic, and reactivity differences between halomethylium and heteroaromatic methylium cations for successful polymerizations. This innovative synthetic strategy lead to the formation of polymers with relatively high molecular weights as the stoichiometric imbalance between the comonomers increased. Accordingly, these newly obtained polymers exhibit remarkable fluorescence properties, even at excitation wavelengths as low as 330 nm. Moreover, by harnessing the halogens at chain ends of homopolymers, block copolymers are successfully synthesized, offering opportunities for tailored applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
Alkene dicarbofunctionalization is a rapidly emerging tool for complex molecule synthesis that installs two carbon fragments regioselectively across an alkene. This method has the potential to engineer stereodefined polymers, yet the application of difunctionalization reactions to polymer synthesis remains unexplored. Herein, we describe the first example of a Ni-catalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes with arylboronic esters and aryl bromides innate to the alkene. The polymerization reaction proceeds regioselectively with the addition of the aryl bromide to the terminal alkenyl carbon and arylboronic ester to the internal benzylic carbon. The resultant poly[arylene-α-(aryl)ethylene]s comprise aryl groups installed at regular intervals along the polymer backbone through chain propagation in two directions. Polymers with molecular weights generally ranging from 30 to 175 kDa were obtained after successful fractionation from oligomeric species. Thermal analysis of the poly[arylene α-(aryl)ethylene]s revealed stability up to ∼399 °C, with a Tg of 90 °C, both of which are similar in value to poly(styrene)s and poly(phenylene methylene)s.

Abstract
This work aims to improve the corrosion protection features of poly(phenylene methylene) (PPM) by sidechain engineering inserting methoxy units along the polymer backbone. The influence of side methoxy groups at different concentrations (4.6% mol/mol and 9% mol/mol) on the final polymer properties was investigated by structural and thermal characterization of the resulting copolymers: co-PPM 4.6% and co-PPM 9%, respectively. Then, coatings were processed by hot pressing the polymers powder on aluminum alloy AA2024 and corrosion protection properties were evaluated exposing samples to a 3.5% w/v NaCl aqueous solution. Anodic polarization tests evidenced the enhanced corrosion protection ability (i.e., lower current density) by increasing the percentage of the co-monomer. Coatings made with co-PPM 9% showed the best protection performance with respect to both PPM blend and PPM co-polymers reported so far. Electrochemical response of aluminum alloy coated with co-PPM 9% was monitored over time under two "artificially-aged" conditions, that are: (i) a pristine coating subjected to potentiostatic anodic polarization cycles, and (ii) an artificially damaged coating at resting condition. The first scenario points to accelerating the corrosion process, the second one models damage of the coating potentially occurring either due to natural deterioration or due to any accidental scratching of the polymer layer. In both cases, an intrinsic self-healing phenomenon was indirectly argued by the time evolution of the impedance and of the current density of the coated systems. The degree of restoring to the "factory conditions" by co-polymer coatings after self-healing events is eventually discussed.

Abstract
Complexes of poly(phenylene methylene) (PPM) with silver(I) ions and tricarbonylchromium(0) moieties, respectively, were synthesized. 13C NMR spectra indicate interaction of phenylene groups with silver(I) and chromium(0), and peak broadening implies dynamic behavior of the silver(I) complexes, with all phenylene groups temporarily involved in coordination, in contrast to the chromium complexes. About 5–10% of the phenylene groups are coordinated to metal atoms. 1H NMR and IR spectra, in the case of chromium(0), and the solubility of silver salts in the presence of PPM provide further evidence of coordination. The complexes are soluble in chloroform, but the silver complexes decay in tetrahydrofuran (second-order kinetics were observed in an example). The photoluminescence (fluorescence) of PPM is maintained upon complexation, although coordination of silver(I) seems to favor the so-called blue phase of PPM relative to the green phase by a factor of approximately two in PL spectra. The pronounced absorption of the tricarbonylchromium(0) units interferes with the blue phase, which almost disappears at a concentration of 50 mg/mL in PLE spectra, whereas the emission maximum of the green phase is hardly affected. This leads to a confinement of the emitted wavelength range of PPM. Thus, the perceived optical emission of PPM can be modified by coordinated entities.

Abstract
Poly(phenylene methylene) (PPM) is a multifunctional polymer featuring hydrophobicity, high thermal stability, fluorescence and thermoplastic processability. Accordingly, smart corrosion resistant PPM-based coatings (blend and copolymer) were prepared and applied by hot pressing on aluminum alloy AA2024. The corrosion protection properties of the coatings and their dependence on coating thickness were evaluated for both strategies employed. The accelerated cyclic electrochemical technique (ACET), based on a combination of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cathodic polarizations and relaxation steps, was used as the main investigating technique. At the coating thickness of about 50 µm, both blend and copolymer PPM showed effective corrosion protection, as reflected by |Z|0.01Hz of about 108 Ω cm2 over all the ACET cycles. In contrast, when the coating thickness was reduced to 30 µm, PPM copolymer showed neatly better corrosion resistance than blended PPM, maintaining |Z|0.01Hz above 108 Ω cm2 with respect to values below 106 Ω cm2 of the latter. Furthermore, the analysis of many electrochemical key features, in combination with the optical investigation of the coating surface under 254 nm UV light, confirms the intrinsic self-healing ability of the coatings made by PPM copolymer, contrary to the reference specimen (i.e., blend PPM).

Abstract
1,3,5-Tri(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)benzene (3PTZ) is endowed with unique redox and photoresponsive characteristics and has been utilized as a p-type redox center for organic battery cathode material and a room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) material, respectively. Conversely, its exploration in other research fields, particularly organic synthesis, remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that 3PTZ-POP synthesized via cross-linking of 3PTZ is capable of harvesting visible-light photons and selectively converting solar energy to chemical energy. Specifically, 3PTZ-POP functions as a metal-free and recyclable photocatalyst to promote the sequential C(sp2)-H functionalizations of N-arylacrylamides with readily available trifluoromethylsulfonyl chloride as the radical precursor. An array of 3,3-disubstituted 2-oxindoles bearing a pharmaceutically important CF3 moiety are delivered in moderate to excellent yields under mild and sustainable conditions.

Abstract
Electronic conjugation through covalent bonds is generally considered as the basis for the electronic transition of organic luminescent materials. Tetraphenylethylene (TPE), an efficient fluorophore with aggregation-induced emission character, fluoresces blue emission in the aggregate state, and such photoluminescence is always ascribed to the through-bond conjugation (TBC) among the four phenyl rings and the central C═C bond. However, in this work, systematic spectroscopic studies and DFT theoretical simulation reveal that the intramolecular through-space interaction (TSI) between two vicinal phenyl rings generates the bright blue emission in TPE but not the TBC effect. Furthermore, the evaluation of excited-state decay dynamics suggests the significance of photoinduced isomerization in the nonradiative decay of TPE in the solution state. More importantly, different from the traditional qualitative description for TSI, the quantitative elucidation of the TSI is realized through the atoms-in-molecules analysis; meanwhile, a theoretical solid-state model for TPE and other multirotor systems for studying the electronic configuration is preliminarily established. The mechanistic model of TSI delineated in this work provides a new strategy to design luminescent materials beyond the traditional theory of TBC and expands the quantum understanding of molecular behavior to the aggregate level.

Abstract
A novel visible light induced step-growth polymerization by electrophilic aromatic substitution between photochemically generated carbocations and dimethoxybenzene nucleophile is described. Conventional step-growth polymerization and chain-growth condensation polymerization (CCP) mechanisms are presented. It is found that by changing the molar ratios of the monomers slightly, the CCP mechanism becomes operative and relatively higher molecular weight polymers are obtained because of the higher reactivity of the end groups of the intermediates and oligomers than that of the monomers. The possibility of grafting onto polymers containing epoxide at their side chains by photoinduced chain end activation of poly(dimethoxyphenylene methylene) is demonstrated. This study is expected to promote potential applications of the combination of photoinduced electron transfer reactions and CCP in macromolecular synthesis and material science.

Abstract
Apart from the traditional through-bond conjugation (TBC), through-space conjugation (TSC) is gradually proved as another important interaction in photophysical processes, especially for the recent observation of clusteroluminescence from nonconjugated molecules. However, unlike TBC in conjugated chromophores, it is still challenging to manipulate TSC and clusteroluminescence. Herein, simple and nonconjugated triphenylmethane (TPM) and its derivatives with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups were synthesized, and their photophysical properties were systematically studied. TPM was characterized with visible clusteroluminescence due to the intramolecular TSC. Experimental and theoretical results showed that the introduction of electron-donating groups into TPM could red-shift the wavelength and increase the efficiency of clusteroluminescence simultaneously, due to the increased electronic density and stabilization of TSC. However, TPM derivatives with electron-withdrawing groups showed inefficient or even quenched clusteroluminescence caused by the vigorous excited-state intramolecular motion and intermolecular photoinduced electron transfer process. This work provides a reliable strategy to manipulate TSC and clusteroluminescence.

Abstract
A novel visible light induced step-growth polymerization to form poly(phenylene methylene) by electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions is described. The effect of different nucleophilic aromatic molecules on polymerization has been investigated. The possibility of combining step-growth polymerization with conventional free radical and free radical promoted cationic polymerizations through photoinduced chain-end activation has been demonstrated. Highly fluorescent fibers of the resulting block copolymers were obtained using the electrospinning technique. The versatile photoinduced step-growth polymerization process reported herein paves the way for a new generation of polycondensates and their combination with chain polymers that cannot be obtained by conventional methods.

Abstract
Linear polymers for many materials applications are popularly produced via step-growth polymerizations of different pairs of A2 and B2 monomers. However, achieving high molecular weights during the synthesis is dramatically limited by the required stoichiometric balance of A and B reactive groups when reactivity is considered unchanged during the polymerization. This short review summarizes the recent progress on using Friedel-Crafts polycondensation reactions to produce high-molecular-weight linear polymers via the reaction-enhanced reactivity of intermediate (RERI) mechanism, in which the reaction of one functional group in the bifunctional monomer spontaneously increases the reactivity of the other functional group on the monoreacted intermediate for faster consumption and connection into polymer chains. Thus, using an excess amount of this monomer produces linear polymers in high molecular weights. Both Friedel-Crafts acylation and hydroxyalkylation reactions have been reported for syntheses of long polymer chains under nonstoichiometric conditions, although the focus is to illustrate the significant progress of applying Friedel-Crafts hydroxyalkylation reactions to produce linear polymers with high molecular weights and varied compositions.

Abstract
Poly(phenylene methylene) (PPM) is a thermally stable, hydrophobic, fluorescent hydrocarbon polymer. Recently, blended PPM has been proposed as a valuable anti-corrosion coating material, and, in particular, rheological additives such as external plasticizers resulted crucial to prevent crack formation. Accordingly, to avoid common problems related to the use of external plasticizers, the development of PPM-related copolymer-based coatings containing n-octyloxy side chains and their anti-corrosion behavior were explored in this study. The aluminum alloy AA2024, widely employed for corrosion studies, was selected as a substrate, covered with a thin layer of a polybenzylsiloxane in order to improve adhesion between the underlying hydrophilic substrate and the top hydrophobic coating. Gratifyingly, coatings with those copolymers were free of bubbles and cracks. The n-octyloxy side-chains may be regarded to adopt the role of a bound plasticizer, as the glass transition temperature of the copolymers decreases with increasing content of alkoxy side-chains. Electrochemical corrosion tests on PPM-substituted coatings exhibited good corrosion protection of the metal surface towards a naturally aerated near-neutrally 3.5% wt.% NaCl neutral solution, providing comparable results to blended PPM formulations, previously reported. Hence, the application of rheological additives can be avoided by use of proper design copolymers.

Abstract
Poly(phenylene methylene) (PPM) is a thermally stable, hydrophobic, fluorescent hydrocarbon polymer. PPM has been proposed earlier to be useful as a coating material but this polymer was isolated in relevant molar masses only recently, and in large quantities. Accordingly, the preparation of coatings based on PPM and their behavior was explored in this study, with the example of the metal alloy AA2024 as a common substrate for corrosion tests. Coatings free of bubbles and cracks were obtained by hot pressing and application of the following steps: Coating on AA2024 with a layer of polybenzylsiloxane to improve the adhesion between PPM and the metal surface, the addition of polybenzylsiloxane to PPM in order to enhance the viscosity of the molten PPM, and the addition of benzyl butyl phthalate as a plasticizer. Electrochemical corrosion tests showed good protection of the metal surface towards a NaCl solution, thanks to a passive-like behavior in a wide potential window and a very low current density. Remarkably, the PPM coating also exhibited self-healing towards localized attacks, which inhibits the propagation of corrosion.

Abstract
Poly(phenylene methylene)s (PPMs) with high molar masses were isolated by polymerization of benzyl chloride catalyzed with tungsten(II) compounds and subsequent fractionation. Four different tungsten(II) catalysts were successfully exploited for the polymerization, for which a strict temperature profile was developed. The PPMs possessed roughly a trimodal molar mass distribution. Simple fractionation by phase separation of 2-butanone solutions allowed to effectively segregate the products primarily into PPM of low molar mass (Mn = 1600 g mol−1) and high molar mass (Mn = 167,900 g mol−1); the latter can be obtained in large quantities up to 50 g. The evolution of the trimodal distribution and the monomer conversion was monitored by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and 1H NMR spectroscopy, respectively, over the course of the polymerization. The results revealed that polymerization proceeded via a chain-growth mechanism. This study illustrates a new approach to synthesize PPM with hitherto unknown high molar masses which opens the possibility to explore new applications, e.g., for temperature-resistant coatings, fluorescent coatings, barrier materials or optical materials.
