A group of polyethers containing electroactive pendent 4,7-diarylfluorene chromophores have been prepared by the multi-step synthetic route. Full characterization of their structures has been presented. The polymeric materials represent derivatives of high thermal stability with initial thermal degradation temperatures in a range of 392-397 °C. Glass transition temperatures of the amorphous polymers range from 28 °C to 63 °C and depend on structures of the 4,7-diarylfluorene chromophores. Electron photoemission spectra of thin layers of the electroactive derivatives showed ionization potentials in the range of 5.8-6.0 eV. Hole injecting/transporting properties of the prepared polymeric materials were confirmed during formation of organic light-emitting diodes with tris(quinolin-8-olato)aluminium (Alq) as a green emitter, which also serves as an electron transporting layer. The device using hole-transporting polymer with electronically isolated 2,7-di(4-biphenyl)fluorene chromophores demonstrated the best overall performance with low turn on voltage of 3 V, high current efficiency exceeding 1.7 cd/A, and with maximum brightness over 200 cd/m. The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) characteristics were measured in non-optimized test devices. The efficiencies could be further improved by an optimization of device structure, formation conditions, and encapsulation of the devices.

Phenoxazine, as an organic-small-molecule chromophore, has attracted much attention for its potential electrochromic applications recently. To develop appealing materials, phenoxazine chromophores were introduced at the N-position of carbazole-thiophene pigment, yielding two novel monomers (DTCP and DDCP), whose chemical structures were characterized by NMR, HRMS and FTIR. The results of the optical property study indicate that little influence could be observed in the presence of the phenoxazine chromophore.

Analyzing and detecting endogenous amino acids in blood is of crucial importance for the diagnosis of medical conditions and scientific research. Considering the lack of UV chromophores in most of these analytes and the presence of several interfering substances in plasma, the quantification of quite a few amino acids and related compounds presents certain technical challenges. As a blank plasma matrix lacking these endogenous substances does not exist, the surrogate matrix method is used, as well as isotopic internal standards for calibration, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the study.

Thanks to recent developments in spectrophotometric instruments, the spectra, quantum yields (Φ), and lifetimes () of photoluminescence from organic and inorganic compounds can be readily determined not only in solution but also in the solid state. It is known that naphthalene emits fluorescence in solution, but not in the solid state. In a previous paper, we reported that solid-state emission can be seen from biaryl compounds comprised of chromophores that show no emission in the solid state.

A method for simultaneous determination of Theanine and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), as the novel food of amino acids, which was established using pre-column derivatization and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). 4-Dimethylaminoazobe nzene-4'-sulfonyl chloride (DABS-Cl) is employed as the derivatization reagent with chromophore linked to Theanine and GABA, which lacks chromophore for DAD analysis in its pristine structure. After the detection wavelength was confirmed, the chromatographic and derivatization conditions were also optimized, including the chromatographic column, mobile phases and their gradient, derivatization temperature and time, the additive amount of buffer solution and derivatization reagent.

Background/objectives: There is an urgent need for new and improved anthelmintics that are not constrained by existing resistance pathways and that can safeguard the health and welfare of animals.
Methods: An integrated platform of chemical, bioassay, and cultivation profiling applied to a library of microbes isolated from Australian livestock pasture soil was used to detect and guide the production, isolation, characterization, identification, and evaluation of new natural products with anthelmintic properties.
Results: A global natural products social (GNPS) molecular network analysis of 110 Australian pasture-soil-derived microbial extracts prioritized for antiparasitic activity identified unique molecular families in the extract of sp.
