Molecular self-assembly is the spontaneous association of molecules under equilibrium conditions into stable, structurally well-defined aggregates joined by noncovalent bonds. Molecular self-assembly is ubiquitous in biological systems and underlies the formation of a wide variety of complex biological structures. Understanding self-assembly and the associated noncovalent interactions that connect complementary interacting molecular surfaces in biological aggregates is a central concern in structural biochemistry. Self-assembly is also emerging as a new strategy in chemical synthesis, with the potential of generating nonbiological structures with dimensions of 1 to 10(2) nanometers (with molecular weights of 10(4) to 10(10) daltons). Structures in the upper part of this range of sizes are presently inaccessible through chemical synthesis, and the ability to prepare them would open a route to structures comparable in size (and perhaps complementary in function) to those that can be prepared by microlithography and other techniques of microfabrication.

Molecular self-assembly and nanochemistry: A chemical strategy for the synthesis of nanostructures

A review was presented to demonstrate a historical description of the synthesis of light-emitting conjugated polymers for applications in electroluminescent devices. Electroluminescence (EL) was first reported in poly(para-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) in 1990 and researchers continued to make significant efforts to develop conjugated materials as the active units in light-emitting devices (LED) to be used in display applications. Conjugated oligomers were used as luminescent materials and as models for conjugated polymers in the review. Oligomers were used to demonstrate a structure and property relationship to determine a key polymer property or to demonstrate a technique that was to be applied to polymers. The review focused on demonstrating the way polymer structures were made and the way their properties were controlled by intelligent and rational and synthetic design.

Copper-mediated coupling reactions and their applications in natural products and designed biomolecules synthesis.

Highly efficient deep-blue fluorescent materials based on phenylquinoline–carbazole derivatives (PhQ-CVz, MeO-PhQ-CVz, and CN-PhQ-CVz) are synthesized for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The materials form high-quality amorphous thin films by thermal evaporation and the energy levels can be easily adjusted by the introduction of different electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on carbazoylphenylquinoline. Non-doped deep-blue OLEDs that use PhQ-CVz as the emitter show bright emission (Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates, x = 0.156, y = 0.093) with an external quantum efficiency of 2.45%. Furthermore, the material works as an excellent host material for 4,4′-bis(9-ethyl-3-carbazovinylene)-1,1′-biphenyl dopant to get high-performance OLEDs with excellent deep-blue CIE coordinates (x = 0.155, y = 0.157), high power efficiency (5.98 lm W−1), and high external quantum efficiency (5.22%).
