Exceptional Coupling of Tetrachloroperylene Bisimide: Combination of Ullmann Reaction and C−H Transformation

Journal of the American Chemical Society (2007)

Hualei Qian Zhaohui Wang Wan Yue Daoben Zhu

We present the facile one-pot synthesis of novel triply linked diperylene bisimide (diPBI) and tetrachlorinated diperylene bisimide (4CldiPBI) by l-proline promoted CuI-involved coupling of tetrachloro-PBI, which represents the first step toward the completely bay-region fused oligo-PBIs. The triply linked fused diPBIs display the broad absorption with high extinction coefficients in the region of visible light and the extremely strong electron-accepting ability, which is very promising for use as functional components of photovoltaic devices.

Synthesis and Properties of a New Class of Fully Conjugated Azahexacene Analogues

Angewandte Chemie (2014)

Wan Yue Sabin–Lucian Suraru David Bialas Matthias Müller Frank Würthner

Abstract Acenes are a traditional class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which attracted considerable interest during the last decade because of their outstanding p‐channel semiconductor properties. More recently, N‐heteroacenes have been prepared. These molecules have been shown to be more stable and can exhibit n‐channel semiconductor properties. Inspired by these archetype PAHs, we synthesized a novel class of highly persistent azahexacene analogues 3 a – d . These molecules are composed of a core of four fused five‐membered rings derived from their respective diketopyrrolopyrroles. These new π‐conjugated scaffolds show broad and intense absorption in the visible region and possess low‐lying HOMO and LUMO levels, leading to much better stability compared to that of acenes and most heteroacenes.

Organic Letters (2013)

Lei Li Yonghui Liu Wan Yue Yanhong Li Xi Chen

An N-acetylhexosamine 1-kinase from Bifidobacterium infantis (NahK_15697), a guanosine 5′-diphosphate (GDP)-mannose pyrophosphorylase from Pyrococcus furiosus (PFManC), and an Escherichia coli inorganic pyrophosphatase (EcPpA) were used efficiently for a one-pot three-enzyme synthesis of GDP-mannose, GDP-glucose, their derivatives, and GDP-talose. This study represents the first facile and efficient enzymatic synthesis of GDP-sugars and derivatives starting from monosaccharides and derivatives.

Cleanroom‐Free Direct Laser Micropatterning of Polymers for Organic Electrochemical Transistors in Logic Circuits and Glucose Biosensors

Advanced Science (2024)

Alessandro Enrico Sebastian Buchmann Fabio De Ferrari Yunfan Lin Yazhou Wang

Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are promising devices for bioelectronics, such as biosensors. However, current cleanroom-based microfabrication of OECTs hinders fast prototyping and widespread adoption of this technology for low-volume, low-cost applications. To address this limitation, a versatile and scalable approach for ultrafast laser microfabrication of OECTs is herein reported, where a femtosecond laser to pattern insulating polymers (such as parylene C or polyimide) is first used, exposing the underlying metal electrodes serving as transistor terminals (source, drain, or gate). After the first patterning step, conducting polymers, such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), or semiconducting polymers, are spin-coated on the device surface. Another femtosecond laser patterning step subsequently defines the active polymer area contributing to the OECT performance by disconnecting the channel and gate from the surrounding spin-coated film. The effective OECT width can be defined with high resolution (down to 2 µm) in less than a second of exposure. Micropatterning the OECT channel area significantly improved the transistor switching performance in the case of PEDOT:PSS-based transistors, speeding up the devices by two orders of magnitude. The utility of this OECT manufacturing approach is demonstrated by fabricating complementary logic (inverters) and glucose biosensors, thereby showing its potential to accelerate OECT research.

Molecular Ordering Manipulation in Fused Oligomeric Mixed Conductors for High-Performance n-Type Organic Electrochemical Transistors

ACS Nano (2024)

Jiayao Duan Mingfei Xiao Genming Zhu Junxin Chen Huiqing Hou

Advanced n-type organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) play an important part in bioelectronics, facilitating the booming of complementary circuits-based biosensors. This necessitates the utilization of both n-type and p-type organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors (OMIECs) exhibiting a balanced performance. However, the observed subpar electron charge transport ability in most n-type OMIECs presents a significant challenge to the overall functionality of the circuits. In response to this issue, we achieve high-performance OMIECs by leveraging a series of fused electron-deficient monodisperse oligomers with mixed alkyl and glycol chains. Through molecular ordering manipulation by optimizing of their alkyl side chains, we attained a record-breaking OECT electron mobility of 0.62 cm2/(V s) and μC* of 63.2 F/(cm V s) for bgTNR-3DT with symmetrical alkyl chains. Notably, the bgTNR-3DT film also exhibits the highest structural ordering, smallest energetic disorder, and the lowest trap density among the series, potentially explaining its ideal charge transport property. Additionally, we demonstrate an organic inverter incorporating bgTNR-3DT OECTs with a gain above 30, showcasing the material's potential for constructing organic circuits. Our findings underscore the indispensable role of alkyl chain optimization in the evolution of prospective high performance OMIECs for constructing advanced organic complementary circuits.

Green Synthesis of Lactone‐Based Conjugated Polymers for n‐Type Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials (2022)

Yazhou Wang Erica Zeglio Lewen Wang Shengyu Cong Genming Zhu

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

Co-Delivery of NIR-II Semiconducting Polymer and pH-Sensitive Doxorubicin-Conjugated Prodrug for Photothermal/Chemotherapy

SSRN Electronic Journal (2021)

Dongsheng Yu Shaobin Wang Jifeng Chen Shuang Liu Shaohui Deng

Semiconducting polymer (SP) is a promising photothermal agent in antitumor application, but co-delivery of NIR-II SPs with chemotherapeutic drug remains a challenge. Here, SPs was firstly improved via backbone and alky side chain engineering, and afterward SPs and pH-sensitive prodrug copolymer PEG-PAsp(BzA- co -DIP- co -DOX) assembled into a nanoparticle PADD@SPs for photoacoustic (PA)-imaging guided combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy. SPs-encapsulated nanoparticles PADD@SPs exhibited a high photothermal conversion efficiency of ~48% at a relatively low power level of NIR irradiation (0.3 W/cm 2 for 5 min). DOX was rapidly released from nanoparticles in response to acidic environment within lysosome. PA and fluorescence imaging confirmed that photothermal therapy effectively drove DOX penetration inside tumor tissue, killing tumor cells survived from hyperthermia. The synergistic effect of SPs-based photothermal therapy and DOX-induced chemotherapy was verified in vivo. Overall, co-delivery of the SP and DOX using pH-sensitive nanoparticles represents a feasible strategy for photothermal therapy with potentially synergistic drug effects.

Wan Yue Tao He Matthias Stolte Marcel Gsänger Frank Würthner

A set of three core-cyanated isoindigos was synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cyanation of core-brominated isoindigos. With decreased LUMO level to -3.88 eV, the dicyanated isoindigo 5 showed ambient-stable electron mobility up to 0.044 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in OTFTs with SAMs of TPA, while it exhibited ambipolar charge transport behaviour (0.11 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) for electrons and 0.045 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) for holes) on FOPA-modified substrates.
