    查看更多>>摘要:The solid-liquid phase transition of adhesives triggered by two different wavelength light stimuli enables the switchable and reusable character.The adhesive which could be liquified by photothermal effect by single-wavelength light stimulus and solidified by natural cooling is much easier to operate but little developed.In this work,a class of tropinone-based enone dyes(TPs),prepared by one-pot Claisen-Schmidt condensation,were explored as a novel kind of single-wavelength light-switchable adhesives.TPs could absorption visible light and are non-fluorescent.By changing the length of alkoxy groups,the melting point and crystallization behavior were regulated.Especially,TP6 and TP8 could form overcooled liquid during the cooling process,thus enabling a proper adhesion operation window.Under 405 nm LED irradiation,the rapid solid-liquid transformation was achieved for some of TPs due to the high thermal conversion ability.TPs presented good adhesion strength toward glass plates.Among them,TP8 could work as a reusable and light-switchable adhesive.

    查看更多>>摘要:The photochromic reaction of 8H-pyranoquinazoline shows intriguing aspects in comparison to 3H-naph-thopyrans.These come from a stabilized excited singlet state for 8 H-pyranoquinazoline,which has a longer lifetime and is strongly sensitive to the solvent.The polar solvent acetonitrile reduces the quantum yield of coloured isomer formation(transoid-cis species).Colour fading related to the decay of transoid-cis population is faster than that for 3tf-naphthopyran family and occurs within few seconds time-window in solution at room temperature.Theoretical calculations show the crucial role in fading process played by the potential energy landscape,with the cisoid-cis intermediate located in a shallow high-energy minimum.

    查看更多>>摘要:Two D-A compounds consisting of the highly electron-deficient triazine group are used as the electron-acceptor center,connected by a benzene ring through C-C single bond with three electron-giving carbazole groups,which were successfully synthesized and photophysical properties were studied.The UV-Vis spectra of both compounds have carbazole moiety,the strong absorption band at-300 nm mainly attributed to the π-π* transition of the carbazole,and the structured absorption band at-350 nm,mainly attributed to the n-π* transition of carbazole moiety.Meanwhile,the UV absorption and fluorescence emission of two triazine-carbazole compounds under different strong acid conditions were discussed.Also,the electrochemical properties of the two compounds were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and calculated the density functional theory(DFT),as well as their fluorescence emission and stability under different pH conditions were measured.The results show that compound of A-2 have good photophysical and electrochemical properties in acidic environment,and as effective acid affinity fluorescent dyes,in expectation of coping with the frequent occurrence of acid rain caused by environmental pollution,while the compound B-2 is insensitive to acidic conditions,and can be used as an acid-resistant dye on the surface of the material.
