Polyfluorenes with polyphenylene dendron side chains: toward non-aggregating, light-emitting polymers.

A polyfluorene 12 has been prepared in which bulky polyphenylene dendrimer substituents suppress formation of long wavelength emitting aggregates, thus giving a polymer with pure blue emission. Absorption- and emission spectra and molecular modeling confirm that the bulky dendrimer side chains do not cause extra torsion between the fluorene units. New polyfluorenes with 9,9-diaryl substituents have been prepared to determine the minimum size of substituent necessary for aggregation suppression. An LED using 12 has been demonstrated to produce blue emission with onset voltages below 4 V.

Geometry-dependent electronic properties of highly fluorescent conjugated molecules

We present a combined experimental/theoretical study of the electronic properties of conjugated para-phenylene type molecules under high pressure up to 80 kbar. Pressure is used as a tool to vary the molecular geometry and intermolecular interaction. The influence of the latter two on singlet and triplet excitons as well as polarons is monitored via optical spectroscopy. We have performed band structure calculations for the planar poly(para-phenylene) and calculated the dielectric function. By varying the intermolecular distances and the length of the polymer repeat unit the observed pressure effects can be explained.

Physical aspects of dexibuprofen and racemic ibuprofen.

This article presents a comparative study of ibuprofen materials in their solid state. Ibuprofen crystallizes into two different structures for the S(+) enantiomer (dexibuprofen) and racemic ibuprofen. The crystal structure of ibuprofen, its optical absorption and photoluminescence, and the thermodynamic results (melting point and heat of fusion) are discussed. From these physicochemical properties, the authors conclude that dexibuprofen, which is the most active species pharmaceutically, and racemic ibuprofen are inherently different solid-state materials.
