The direct conversion of sunlight into hydrogen through water splitting, and by converting carbon dioxide useful chemical building blocks fuels, has been an active area research since early reports in the 1970s. Most semiconductors that drive these photocatalytic processes have inorganic semiconductors, but first report nitride organic also considered. Conjugated materials relatively extensively studied as photocatalysts for solar fuels generation over last 5 years due to synthetic control composition properties. understanding materials' properties, its impact on performance underlying factors is still infancy. Here, we focus interfaces, nanostructure fundamental which significantly contribute photocatalysts. In particular, presenting explicit examples interface polymer with how it affects performance. Wetting shown be a clear factor present strategies increased wettability conjugated modifications material. Furthermore, limited exciton diffusion length polymers identified affect materials. Addressing this, discuss internal external surface areas increase activity production from water.

Abstract As new and better materials are implemented for organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), it becomes increasingly important to adopt more economic environmentally friendly synthesis pathways with respect conventional transition‐metal‐catalyzed polymerizations. Herein, a series of novel n‐type donor–acceptor‐conjugated polymers based on glycolated lactone bis‐isatin units reported. All the synthesized via green metal‐free aldol polymerization. The strong electron‐deficient lactone‐building blocks provide low‐lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) rigid backbone needed efficient electron mobility up 0.07 cm 2 V −1 s . Instead, polar atoms in ethylene glycol side chains contribute ionic conductivity. resulting OECTs exhibit normalized maximum transconductance g m,norm 0.8 S μC * 6.7 F Data microstructure show that such device performance originates from unique porous morphology together highly disordered amorphous microstructure, leading ion‐to‐electron coupling. Overall, design strategy provides an inexpensive polymerization route high‐performing OECTs.

From the context of sustainability, contemporary synthetic organic chemistry practices require significant transformation, as indicated by various sustainability matrices like atom economy, process mass intensity (PMI), E-factor, and DOZN. These factors have evidently unveiled inherent inefficiencies intrinsic to conventional protocols identified solvents principal causative agent. In response, utilization water a primary reaction medium for transformations has emerged an appealing alternative. This approach flourished with emergence micellar catalysis, where amphiphilic molecules alter bulk aqueous medium's solvation properties promote desired chemical transformation under milder sustainable conditions. After 2010, this technology gained considerable momentum established foundational framework performing reactions conditions, consequently mitigating dependency on hazardous solvents. perspective, recent advances in field catalysis will be discussed industrial applications, along future directions challenges associated regime.

Abstract Cross‐coupling technology is still the cornerstone of conjugated polymer synthesis. However, most cross‐coupling reactions rely on platinum group metals (e. g. rhodium, palladium, iridium and platinum), supply these rare expensive metal catalysts at risk, making use unsustainable. In addition, contamination polymers with trace metallic another concern, especially for organic electronics where products are used in devices whose performance can be affected by even ′undetectable’ levels contaminant. pursuit more sustainable chemistry future, various have been utilized synthesis without aid transition‐metal catalysts. Presented herein a comprehensive overview that go beyond transition metal‐catalysed reactions. We discuss metal‐free strategies methods detail divide them into “condensation” reactions, “click” other miscellaneous Reaction mechanisms key intermediates also elucidated. The aim to provide researchers practitioners valuable insights will enable innovate expand horizons

Aldol condensation is a cost-effective and sustainable synthetic method, offering the advantages of low complexity, substrate universality, high efficiency. Over past decade, it has become popular for creating next-generation organic functional materials, particularly rigid-rod conjugated (semi)conductors. This review focuses on small molecules, oligomers, polymeric (semi)conductors synthesized through aldol condensation, with emphasis their remarkable features in advancing n-type field-effect transistors (OFETs), electrochemical (OECTs), photovoltaics (OPVs), thermoelectrics (OTEs) as well NIR-II photothermal conversion. Coherence character, optical properties, microstructure, chain conformation are investigated to understand material-property relationships. Future applications challenges this area also discussed.

Cyclic polymers exhibit different solution and bulk properties compared to their linear analogs of the same molecular weight, such as smaller hydrodynamic volumes higher glass transition temperatures (Tg). Polymers having boron-centered Lewis acids pendent groups have utility in sensors, biomaterials, dynamic covalent materials. Conventional controlled radical polymerization are most common routes synthesize with boronate ester boronic acid functional groups. Herein, we expand synthetic repertoire available for synthesis by reporting preparation cyclic poly(4-ethynylphenylboronate ester) (c-PEPB) ring-expansion (REP) 4-ethynylphenylboronate using a pincer-supported tethered tetra-anionic tungsten alkylidene complex. The were successfully characterized light scattering measurements, viscometry, thermal analysis. In all cases, polymer interrogation experiments reveal key differences attributed topology. Deprotection polymeric esters was performed transesterification methylboronic furnish poly(4-ethynylphenyl acid) (c-PEPB–OH). reversible reaction 1,2- 1,3-diols form used cross-link c-PEPB–OH polyol cross-linker gels from polymers.

Abstract Exploring highly‐efficient palladium (Pd)‐based electrocatalysts for the alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR) is crucial yet challenging chemists due to vague Pd interface with an uncontrollable electronic environment. Herein, organic heterocyclic strategy used first time modulate state of by anchoring nanoparticles conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) varied S‐, N‐, O‐, or S, N‐heterocycles. Among these CMPs, N‐containing thiazole polymer SNC catalyst exhibits current densities 1575.0 mA mg −1 methanol and 1071.0 ethanol oxidation, which are among highest performance in modulated systems surpass commercial black catalyst. Detailed theory calculations suggest that although furan (O‐heterocycle) OC has strongest charge transfer (0.057 |e|) cluster, moderate electron (0.041 /SNC heterojunction S···N···Pd noncovalent interaction shows best catalytic kinetics. Moreover, d‐band system closer volcano vertex than its counterparts. These results indicate appropriate intensity regulation well‐defined structures may significantly improve AOR activity.

Optically active π-conjugated block copolymers are of considerable significance and interest, but their controlled synthesis helical self-assembly remain challenging. In this study, consisting polyfluorene (PF) poly(phenyl isocyanide) (PPI) segments were facilely prepared in one pot through two sequential polymerizations. First, a Pd(II)-terminated PF precursor was synthesized via the Suzuki cross-coupling polymerization 7-bromo-9,9-dihexylfluorene-2-boronic acid pinacol ester, which catalyzed using Pd(0)/t-Bu3P system. Then, PF-b-PPI with molar mass narrow dispersities fabricated phenyl isocyanide monomers utilizing as catalyst. Benefiting from structure helicity PPI block, resulting could self-assemble into single-handed nanofibers. process, chirality transferred to self-assembled nanofibers, thereby endowing them optical activity excellent circularly polarized luminescence properties.
