Tuning the Solid State Emission of the Carbazole and Cyano-Substituted Tetraphenylethylene by Co-Crystallization with Solvents.

Abstract: Solid state emissive materials with high quantum yields and tunable emissions are desirable for various applications. A new TPE derivative (1) with two carbazole moieties and two cyano groups is reported, which shows typical aggregation induced emission behavior. Four crystals 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d are obtained after crystallization from N,N-dimethylformamid (DMF), trichloromethane (CHCl3 ), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dichloromethane (CH2 Cl2 ), respectively. Crystal structural analyses reveal that (i) molecules of 1 co-crystallize with DMF, CHCl3 , THF, and CH2 Cl2 in 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, respectively, and (ii) conformations of 1 are different within 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, and compound 1 within crystal 1a adopts the most twisting conformation. Crystalline solids 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d exhibit high emission quantum yields up to 0.65, but their emission colors are varied from blue to green. In comparison, the amorphous solid of 1 is yellow-emissive with emission maximum at 542 nm. Moreover, the blue- or green-emissive crystalline solids and the yellow-emissive amorphous solid can be inter-converted by the grinding of crystalline solids and exposure of the amorphous solid to vapors of appropriate solvents. It is also demonstrated that microrods of 1a, 1b, and 1d show typical optical waveguiding behavior.

Scandium, yttrium, uranium, and thorium derivatives of the 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclo-octatetraene dianion; the X-ray crystal structure of [Sc2(η-C8H6{1,4-(SiMe3)2})2(µ-Cl)2(µ-thf)](thf = tetrahydrofuran)

Abstract: Deprotonation of 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclo-octa-2,5,7-triene affords the 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclo-octatetraene dianion, which reacts with [UCl4] or [ThCl4] to give the sandwich compounds [M(η-C8H6{1,4-(SiMe3)2})2], M = U or Th, with [UCl2(BH4)2] to give [U(η-C8H6{1,4-(SiMe3)2})(η3-BH4)2], and with [ScCl3(thf)3] or [YCl3(thf)3](thf = tetrahydrofuran) to yield [{M(η-C8H6{1,4-(SiMe3)2})(η-Cl)}2{thf}n], M = Sc, n= 1; M = Y, n= 2; X-ray crystallography shows the latter scandium compound to possess a novel semi-bridging thf ligand.
