Cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films were deposited by chemical bath deposition (CBD) onto polymeric composites with electric field-aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). MWCNT/polysulfone composites were prepared by dispersing low concentrations of MWCNTs within dissolved polysulfone (PSF). An alternating current electric field was “in situ” applied to align the MWCNTs within the dissolved polymer along the field direction until the solvent was evaporated. 80 μm thick solid MWCNT/PSF composites with an electrical conductivity 13 orders of magnitude higher than the conductivity of the neat PSF were obtained. The MWCNT/PSF composites were subsequently used as flexible substrates for the deposition of CdS thin films by CBD. Transparent and adherent CdS thin films with an average thickness of 475 nm were obtained. The values of the energy band gap, average grain size, rms roughness, crystalline structure, and preferential orientation of the CdS films deposited onto the polymeric substrate were very similar to the corresponding values of the CdS deposited onto glass (conventional substrate). These results show that the MWCNT/PSF composites with electric field-tailored MWCNTs represent a suitable option to be used as flexible conducting substrate for CdS thin films, which represents an important step towards the developing of flexible systems for photovoltaic applications.

ABSTRACTColloid semiconductor particles of PbS have been prepared in reversed micelles of AOT-heptane. The effects of the AOT, water and reactants concentrations have been studied. The initial crystallite size and its growth with the time aging are strongly dependent on the water/AOT ratio and the ionic pool concentration. The absorption spectroscopic characteristics of the PbS particles have been examined. As the particle size decreases the band gap shifts in color from orange-brown to yellow and approaches the transition energy of the first allowed excited state of a PbS molecule. Moreover, the optical nonlinear property of PbS particles was investigated by Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing (DFWM) experiment using a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser.

Upon UV irradiation in THF at 208 K tricarbonyl(η5-2,4-dimethyl-2,4-pentadien-1-yl)- manganese (1) yields solvent stabilized, very reactive dicarbonyl(η5-2,4-dimethyl-2,4-pentadien-1-yl)(tetrahydrofuran)manganese (2), which reacts in situ with one or two molecules of diphenylacetylene (3) and yields four manganese complexes and 1,3-dimethyl-5,6-diphenyl-bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene-7-one (5), which were separated by HPL chromatography. In addition to tricarbonyl η5-4,6 -dimethyl-1,2-diphenyl-cyclohepta-2,4-dien-1-yl)manganese (4) formed by [5+2]cycloaddition and successive 1,4-H shift, tricarbonyl{ 1′,2′,5′-η-5-methyl-2,3 -diphenyl-5- (2′-methyl-4′,5′-diphenyl-penta-1′,4′-dien-1′,5′-diyl)cyclopent-2-en-1 -one-κ-O}manganese (6) is isolated with a ligand, formed from 2,4-dimethyl-2,4-pentadien-1-yl, two units of 3 and one carbon monoxide. The ligands of tricarbonyl{ 1-4,2′-η-4,6 -dimethyl-1,2-diphenyl-5-(E-1′,2′- diphenyl-vinylen)cyclohepta-1,3-diene}manganese (7), and tricarbonyl{η5-4,6 -dimethyl-1,2-diphenyl-7-(E-1′,2′-diphenyl-vinyl)cyclohepta-2,4-dien-1-yl}m anganese (8) are formed from 2,4-dimethyl-2,4-pentadien-1-yl and of two molecules of 3 each. The crystal and molecular structures of 5 and 6 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. 5 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅ , a = 992.0(2) pm, b = 996.8(2) pm, c = 1021.0(2) pm, a = 77.67(3)°, β = 61.17(3)°, γ = 88.68(3)°. Complex 6 crystallizes also in the triclinic space group P1̅ ,a = 1023.2(2) pm, b - 1113.8(2) pm, c = 1567.9(3) pm, α = 82.88(3)°, β = 86.93(3)°, 7 = 63.53(3)°. The constitutions of 4, 7 and 8 were elucidated from the IR, NMR and mass spectra. Possible formation mechanisms for the compounds 4-8 are proposed. Complex 7 shows hindered rotations of two phenyl groups with different barriers of energy ΔG≠316 = 68.8 kJ/mol, „ΔH≠ = 67.9 ± 0.7 kJ/mol, ΔS≠ = -2 ± 2 J/mol · K and ΔG≠296 = 60.6 kJ/mol, ΔH≠ = 57.7 ± 1.0 kJ/mol, ΔS≠ = -10 ± 2 J/mol·K due to steric interactions.
