In this paper, six novel symmetrical bis-(imino-1,8-naphthalimides) differing in core and N-substituent structure were synthesized, and their thermal (TGA, DSC), optical (UV-Vis, PL), electrochemical (DPV, CV) properties were evaluated. The compounds were stable to 280 °C and could be transferred into amorphous materials. Electrochemical investigations showed their ability to occur reductions and oxidations processes. They exhibited deep LUMO levels of about -3.22 eV and HOMO levels above -5.80 eV. The optical investigations were carried out in the solutions (polar and non-polar) and in films and blends with PVK:PBD. Bis-(imino-1,8-naphthalimides) absorbed electromagnetic radiation in the range of 243-415 nm and emitted light from blue to yellow. Their capacity for light emission under voltage was preliminarily tested in devices with an active layer consisting of a neat compound and a blend with PVK:PBD. The diodes emitted green or red light.

For the first time acceptor-π-donor-π-acceptor (A-π-D-π-A) based Y-type organic electrode material have been designed and successfully utilized in supercapacitor (SC) application. This Y-type molecular architecture coined as AQ-Im-PTZ-Im-AQ based on anthraquinone (AQ) (A)-imidazole (Im) (π)-phenothiazine (PTZ) (D)-imidazole (Im) (π)-anthraquinone (AQ) (A) in combination with graphite foil (GF). As-fabricated PTZ-Im-AQ/GF and AQ-Im-PTZ-Im-AQ/GF electrode have shown the good energy storage properties in three-electrode supercapacitor system.

The advancement of acceptors plays a pivotal role in determining photovoltaic performance. While previous efforts have focused on optimizing acceptor-donor-acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-DA-D-A)-typed acceptors by adjusting side chains, end groups, and conjugated extension of the electron-deficient central A unit, the systematic exploration of the impact of peripheral aryl substitutions, particularly with different electron groups, on the A unit and its influence on device performance is still lacking. In this study, three novel acceptors - QxTh, QxPh, and QxPy - with distinct substitutions on the quinoxaline (Qx) are designed and synthesized.

Aiming to decrease the recurrence of tumors and achieve patient satisfaction, the elicitation of immunotherapy and its integrated synergistic employment is a bright new direction in oncotherapy, yet an emergently challenging task. In particular, tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) regulation though light-induced photodynamic and photothermal therapy (PDT and PTT) is regarded as a powerful approach, which focuses on the systemic immune system instead of the tumor itself. Herein, this study reports an acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen), named TPA-2CN, which was applied as a photosensitizer (PS) and photothermal agent (PTA).

Article Synopsis
  • Intramolecular exciplex systems with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are gaining popularity in OLED technology, but organic sandwich exciplexes are still rare due to structural and synthetic difficulties.
  • *The study introduces a new rigid donor-acceptor-donor (A-D-A) complex called dSFQP, which utilizes two sp C-locking moieties and shows promising TADF properties through an effective charge-transfer mechanism.
  • *OLEDs using dSFQP as a dopant achieved an impressive external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 28.5% and maintained high efficiency even at elevated brightness levels, signaling a significant advancement in organic charge-transfer complex design.

Two fully fused acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) architecture conjugated derivatives ( and ) comprising an electron-withdrawing naphthalimide (NMI) and two different electron-donating cores, phenanthrene and carbazole, respectively, were conveniently synthesized by bismuth(III)-catalyzed selective cyclization of vinyl ethers. Compared with their corresponding single bond-linked A-D-A molecules and , both having a moderately twisted aromatic configuration, the ring fusion strategy leads to fully coplanar conjugated skeletons and greatly changes the electronic structures, photophysical properties, self-assembling behaviors, and molecular packing motifs. In particular, the naphthalimide/carbazole derivative exhibits intriguing 2D brickwork packing and significantly enhanced self-assembling properties.
