UV curable telechelic urethane-methacrylate crosslinkers based on the natural resource-cardanol was synthesized in a one pot synthetic step involving end capping of isophorone diisocyanate with one equivalent of hydroxyethyl methacrylate followed by condensation with cardanol. The structures of the resins were characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) spectroscopies and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The curing process and double bond conversion in presence of 2,2-diethoxy acetophenone as photo-initiator upon UV irradiation was followed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. These hydrogen bonded crosslinkers based on cardanol and its derivatives had higher double bond conversion when compared to a nonhydrogen bonding standard such as hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) under identical conditions. The temperature effects on the hydrogen bonding were investigated, and a decrease in the extent of double bond conversion with increase in temperature was observed for the telechelic urethane-methacrylate crosslinkers whereas a steady increase in the curing rate was observed for HDDA. This gives direct indication of the influence of hydrogen bonding on the curing process. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A series of perylene and naphthalene diimide-containing random copolyurethanes with different ratios of perylene/naphthalene diimide content was synthesized and characterized. Copolymerization improved the solubility of these rigid aromatic diimides, and the copolymers were soluble in common organic solvents like chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, and so forth. The absorption spectra of perylene-based copolymers showed a red-shifted peak at a wavelength of 557 nm corresponding to J-type aggregates. For naphthalene copolymers, the quenching of fluorescence at higher naphthalene incorporation suggested the presence of aggregates because of the extensive pi-pi stacking of the aromatic core. FTIR spectroscopic analysis showed that the hydrogen bonding tendency of the polymer decreased with increase in perylene/naphthalene incorporation. The fluorescence spectra of the perylene polymers were exactly a mirror image of the absorption spectra. The fluorescence spectra of the naphthalene polymers at higher naphthalene incorporation showed a red-shifted excimer like emission peak, which was assigned as static excimers based on their excitation spectra. These polymers could exhibit two types of secondary interaction modes, namely, hydrogen bonding (via urethane linkage) and pi-stacking (via aromatic perylene or naphthalene units) thus highlighting the importance of polymer design in inducing self-organization at both low and high incorporation of the rigid bisimide moieties.

Nanostructured supramolecular donor-acceptor assemblies were formed when an unsymmetrical N-substituted pyridine functionalized perylenebisimide (UPBI-Py) was complexed with oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) (OPVM-OH) complementarily functionalized with hydroxyl unit and polymerizable methacrylamide unit at the two termini. The resulting supramolecular complex [UPBI-Py (OPVM-OH)](1.0) upon polymerization by irradiation in the presence of photoinitiator formed well-defined supramolecular polymeric nanostructures. Self-assembly studies using fluorescence emission from thin film samples showed that subtle structural changes occurred on the OPV donor moiety following polymerization. The 1:1 supramolecular complex showed red-shifted aggregate emission from both OPV (similar to 500 nm) and PBI (similar to 640 nm) units, whereas the OPV aggregate emission was replaced by intense monomeric emission (similar to 430 nrn) upon polymerizing the methacrylamide units on the OPVM-OH. The bulk structure was studied using wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD). Complex formation resulted in distinct changes in the cell parameters of OPVM-OH. In contrast, a physical mixture of 1 mol each of OPVM-OH and UPBI-Py prepared by mixing the powdered solid samples together showed only a combination of reflections from both parent molecules. Thin film morphology of the 1:1 molecular complex as well as the supramolecular polymer complex showed uniform lamellar structures in the domain range <10 rim. The donor-acceptor supramolecular complex [UPBI-Py (OPVM-OH)](1.0) exhibited space charge limited current (SCLC) with a bulk mobility estimate of an order of magnitude higher accompanied by a higher photoconductivity yield compared to the pristine UPBI-Py. This is a very versatile method to obtain spatially defined organization of n and p-type semiconductor materials based on suitably functionalized donor and acceptor molecules resulting in improved photocurrent response using self-assembly.

A perylene bisimide derivative (PDP-UPBIAcry) having hydroxyl moieties at one termini and polymerizable acrylic units at the other termini was supramolecularly complexed with the pyridine units of Poly (4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP), followed by photoinduced polymerization of the acrylic units to obtain lamellar organization in the <10 nm range. H-1 NMR studies including variable temperature (20 degrees C-70 degrees C) measurements were undertaken in DMSO-d(6) (anhydrous, extra dry) to understand the interaction between PDP-UPBIAcry and P4VP. The aromatic perylene protons of PDP-UPBIAcry registered an upfield chemical shift while the pyridine protons of P4VP exhibited small downfield shift in their 1:1 supramolecular complex. The hydrogen bonding interaction between pyridyl nitrogen and phenolic OH group was also traced in non-polar media like CDCl3 in model complexes of 4-vinyl pyridine (4VP) with PDP-UPBIAcry. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) technique was used to study the bulk structure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging revealed highly ordered layered assembly formed upon complexation. Observation from DFT energy minimization studies were correlated with X-ray diffraction data of the supramolecular complex [P4VP (PDP-UPBIAcry)](1.0) to understand the nature of packing of PDP-UPBIAcry that lead to the formation of highly ordered lamellar stacks alternating with P4VP. The higher ordering in the supramolecular polymer complex was also confirmed by the quenching of fluorescence and reduced fluorescence life times of thin solid films of the [P4VP Poly(PDP-UPBIAcry)](1.0) sample.

Perylenebisimide and naphthalenebisimide (PBIPDP and NBI-PDP) end functionalized with pentadecyl phenol is designed as ditopic hydrogen bonding acceptors to form supramolecular crosslinked network with poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP). The pristine PBI-PDP has been grown as single crystals from DCM-MeOH (dichloromethane-methanol) mixture at room temperature, which revealed a P21 space group. Noticeably, the pentadecyl alkyl chain shields the aromatic perylene core on both sides resulting in the absence of p-p interaction in single-crystal assembly. The naphthalenebisimide derivative exhibits thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior, while both the molecules exhibits lyotropic liquid crystalline phases in tetrahydrofuran (THF), which were characterized using a combination of differential scanning calorimeter, X-ray diffraction, and polarized light microscopy. The hydrogen-bonded complex of both the rylenebisimides with P4VP preserves the mesomorphic properties in THF. The electron transport mobility measured by space charge limited current measurements reveals a two orders of magnitude increase in the charge transport in the P4VP complex compared to that of the pristine molecule. The average electron mobility obtained is mu(e, avg): 10(-3) cm(2)/Vs for P4VP-PBI compared to mu(e, avg): 10(-5) cm(2)/Vs for pristine PBI derivative. (C) 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
