Article Synopsis
  • * DETC can generate radicals through two-photon or three-photon excitation, with its unique three-photon mechanism involving a hydrogen-atom transfer from the PETA monomer, leading to FRP initiation.
  • * The study uses quantum mechanical calculations to uncover the photophysical processes within DETC and establishes new pathways for FRP initiation, aiding in the design of more efficient photoinitiators for enhanced 3D laser nanopr

Article Synopsis
  • Printed organic and inorganic electronics are important for applications in sensors, bioelectronics, and security, but traditional printing methods often produce larger features and require high-temperature post-processing.
  • A new laser printing technique allows for the fabrication of semiconductor ZnO and metals Pt and Ag with feature sizes under 1 µm without the need for sintering after printing.
  • The method has demonstrated versatility by successfully creating functional electronic devices, including diodes, memristors, and transistors, using combinations of laser and inkjet printing techniques.

We report the electron-beam induced crosslinking of cinnamate-substituted polythiophene proceeding excited state [2+2]-cycloaddition. Network formation in thin films is evidenced by infrared spectroscopy and film retention experiments. For the polymer studied herin, the electron-stimulated process appears to be superior to photo (UV)-induced crosslinking as it leads to less degradation.

Three stable N,N'-diarylated dihydroazaacene radical cations were prepared by oxidation of neutral N,N'-diarylated dihydroazaacenes synthesized via palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig aminations of aryl iodides with N,N'-dihydroazaacenes. Both neutral as well as oxidized species were investigated via UV-vis spectroscopy, single crystal analysis, and DFT calculations. All the radical cations are surprisingly stable-their absorption spectra in dichloromethane remain unchanged in ambient conditions for at least 24 hours.
