Non-volatile ternary memristors based on a polymer containing a carbazole donor with CuO NPs embedded

A D–A-type polymer PCz–BMBI was synthesized and non-volatile ternary memory devices of ITO/PCz–BMBI:CuO/Al were fabricated with an ON2/ON1/OFF ratio of 105.3 : 102.3 : 1.

A Chiral Molecular Cage Comprising Diethynylallenes and N-Heterotriangulenes for Enantioselective Recognition

Chirality, a characteristic tool of molecular recognition in nature, is often a complement of redox active systems. Scientists, in their eagerness to mimic such sophistication, have designed numerous chiral systems based on molecular entities with cavities, such as macrocycles and cages. In an attempt to combine chirality and redox-active species, in this contribution we report the synthesis and detailed characterization of a chiral shape-persistent molecular cage based on the combination of enantiopure diethynylallenes and electron-rich bridged triarylamines, also known as N-heterotriangulenes. Its ability for chiral recognition in solution was revealed through UV/vis titrations with enantiopure helicenes.

Electropolymerization of D–A–D type monomers consisting of triphenylamine and substituted quinoxaline moieties for electrochromic devices

We reported three D–A–D type monomers consisting of triphenylamine and substituted quinoxaline moieties, and their electrochemical polymerization for electrochromic devices.
