The recovery of radioactive iodine from nuclear waste and contaminated water sources is a critical environmental concern, which poses significant technical challenges. Herein, the study has demonstrated that tuning the electronic properties of diketopyrrolopyrrole-based donor-acceptor covalent organic frameworks (COFs) enhances iodine trapping, improves charge transport, and strengthens iodine interactions - establishing a structure-property relationship. This tuning is achieved by synthesizing COFs with the diketopyrrolopyrrole-based linker 3,6-bis(4-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenyl)-2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (DKP) in combination with either the electron acceptor 4,4',4″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)trianiline (TTT-DKP) or the electron donor N,N-bis(4-aminophenyl)benzene-1,4-diamine (TAPA-DKP) linkers. These COFs, with abundant sorption sites, thermal and chemical stability, and optimized pore environments, efficiently bind iodine in the vapor and solution phases. The TAPA-DKP COF, containing electron-donating moieties, showed a high iodine uptake of 3.52 g/g, exceeding the 2.81 g/g of the electron-deficient TTT-DKP in the vapor phase, both following pseudo-second-order kinetics. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal adsorption sites showing that TAPA-DKP COF binds I more effectively via its electron-rich moieties, highlighting the role of electronic property modulation in iodine adsorption.

-Trifluoromethylbenzene (FB) groups have been widely employed in various fields; however, no studies have reported the use of FB in side chains to enhance the carrier mobility and molecular doping of conjugated polymers. In this study, based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we discovered that FB groups can effectively bind to [FeCl], the counterion of the p-type dopant FeCl, thereby increasing doping ability. Consequently, FB groups were incorporated into the side chains of thiophene-diketopyrrolopyrrole-based donor-acceptor (D-A)-conjugated polymers, and a series of random conjugated polymers were synthesized (denoted as PDPPFB-, where represents the molar ratio of the FB side chain).

Small-molecule dyes for fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II, 900-1880 nm) hold great promise in clinical applications. Constructing donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) architectures has been recognized to be a feasible strategy to achieve NIR-II fluorescence. However, the development of NIR-II dyes via such a scheme is hampered by the lack of high-performance electron acceptors and donors.

Recent advances in chiral nanomaterials interacting with circularly polarized (CP) light open new expectations for optoelectronics in various research fields such as quantum- and biology-related technology. To fully utilize the great potential of chiral optoelectronic devices, the development of chiral optoelectronic devices that function in the near-infrared (NIR) region is required. Herein, we demonstrate a NIR-absorbing, chiroptical, low-band-gap polymer semiconductor for high-performance NIR CP light phototransistors.

Ladder polymers with poly(diketopyrrolopyrrole) (DPP) moieties have recently attracted enormous interest for a large variety of opto-electronic applications. Since the rigidity of the backbone increases with ladderization, a strong influence on the self-organization of thin films is expected. We study the molecular orientation of DPP-based ladder polymers in about 50 nm thin films using polarization modulation-infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS).
