The differences in the electroluminescence (EL) of red-emitting free-base (H2TPP) and Zn-metalated (ZnTPP) archetypal porphyrins are rationalized in light-emitting electrochemical cells by means of an electric-field dependent effect, leading to whitish and reddish devices, respectively. Although H2TPP shows superior electrochemical and photophysical features compared to ZnTPP, devices prepared with ZnTPP surprisingly stand out with a deep-red EL similar to its photoluminescence (PL), while H2TPP devices feature unexpected whitish EL. Standard arguments such as degradation, device architecture, device mechanism, and changes in the nature of the emitting excited states are discarded. Based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and first-principles electronic structure methods, we provide evidence that the EL originates from two H2TPP regioisomers, in which the inner ring H atoms are placed in collinear and vicinal configurations. The combination of their optical features provides an explanation for both the high-and low-energy EL features. Here, the emitting excited state nature is ascribed to the Q bands, since the Soret excited states remain high in energy. This contrasts to what is traditionally postulated in reports focused on H2TPP lighting devices. Hence, this work provides a new explanation for the nature of the high-energy EL band of H2TPP that might inspire future works focused on white-emitting molecular-based devices.

From Homoconjugated Push-Pull Chromophores to Donor-Acceptor-Substituted Spiro Systems by Thermal Rearrangement
Dengiz, Çağatay; KATO, Shin-ichiro; ZALIBERA, Michal; CIAS, Pawel; SCHWEIZER, W. Bernd; BOUDON, Corinne; GISSELBRECHT, Jean-Paul; GESCHEIDT, Georg; DIEDERICH, Francois (Wiley, 2014-01-27)
Series of homoconjugated push-pull chromophores and donor-acceptor (D-A)-functionalized spiro compounds were synthesized, in which the electron-donating strength of the anilino donor groups was systematically varied. The structural and optoelectronic properties of the compounds were investigated by X-ray analysis, UV/Vis spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and computational analysis. The homoconjugated push-pull chromophores with a central bicyclo[4.2.0]octane scaffold were obtained in high yield by [2+2] cyclo...
Triazine herbicide imprinted monolithic column for capillary electrochromatography
Asir, Suleyman; Derazshamshir, Ali; YILMAZ, FATMA; DENİZLİ, ADİL (2015-12-01)
Trietazine was selectively separated from aqueous solution containing the competitor molecule cyanazine, which is similar in size and shape to the template molecule. Structural features of the molecularly imprinted column were figured out by SEM. The influence of the mobile-phase composition, applied electrical field, and pH of the mobile phase on the recognition of trietazine by the imprinted monolithic polymer has been evaluated, and the imprint effect in the trietazine-imprinted monolithic polymer was de...
Photo- and electroluminescent properties of a π-conjugated copolymer containing 2,2′-bipyridyl units
Deichmann, Vitor Angelo Fonseca; Çırpan, Ali; KARASZ, Frank E.; AKCELRUD, Leni (Wiley, 2007-02-01)
The synthesis, structural characteristics, and photo- and electroluminescent properties of a soluble light-emitting copolymer built up of regularly alternating segments of 1,4-dihexyloxybenzene and 2,2'-bipyridyl (PBPyDHB) are described and discussed. Optical properties of the polymer were investigated in solution and solid-state conditions, demonstrating that in film form the predominant emission centers are inter-macromolecular aggregates, either in photo- or electroluminescence. Thermogravimetric analysi...
Stereoselective synthesis of spirocyclic cyclopentapyrans by the Pauson-Khand reaction on camphor tethered enynes
Sezer, Serdar; Gumrukcu, Yasemin; ŞAHİN, Ertan; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2008-12-01)
An intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction of camphor tethered enynes derived from homoallyl, homomethallyl and homopropargyl alcohols is described. Homoallyl, homomethallyl, and homopropargyl moieties are easily constructed on the camphor carbonyl group with excellent diastereoselectivity due to endo-face selectivity, and with known stereochemistry. Each enantiomerically pure enyne affords the conformationally most stable diastereomeric spirocyclic cyclopenta[c]pyran ring system.
Synthesis of Iodo-substituted spiro-fused pyridine derivatives
Teke, Ecem; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2014)
Spiro cyclic molecules have gained significance because of their biological activities and electronic properties. Spiro frameworks are present in importance natural products and optoelectronic materials. Moreover, due to steric strain, the presence of a spiro carbon atom induces easy rearrangements that can lead to different cyclic products. Although there are some methods to synthesize spiro compounds, the synthesis of iodo-substituted spiro-fused pyridines have not been studied. Accordingly, in this thesis...
