ABSTRACTIn order to obtain efficient blue, green and red light-emitters as active layers in polymer light-emitting diode (PLEDs), we report herein the design, the synthesis, and the characterization of new polyesters and copolymers derived from fluorene. We will focus on a new approach to obtain a stable, high luminance blue emitter via polyesters derived from fluorene. The versatile synthetic approach allows the easy design of a whole class of new and tunable electroactive and photoactive aromatic polyesters. Poly(1,6-hexane- 9,9′,9′,9′′,9′′-hexahexyl-7,2′;7′,2′′-terfluorene-2,7′′-dicarboxylate) (PTFHHC6) and Poly(1,6-hexane-2,7-Bis(1,1′-biphenylen-4-yl-4′-dicarboxylate)-9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PE-BP-DOF-BP) exhibit strong emission in the blue range, both in solution and in the solid state. Moreover, these polyesters present some advantages over other polyfluorene derivatives. For example, their solid-state fluorescence spectrum does not show the formation of any excimer and does not vary upon thermal treatment. We will also present copolymers derived from fluorene which emit green light and a new approach to obtain red polymer light-emitting-diode will also be shown. Optical properties such as light absorption, light emission and quantum yield of fluorescence in solution as well as electrical properties such as cyclic voltammogram and conductivity in-situ are reported. Finally, some of the polymers presented have been tested in PLEDs devices and the preliminary results seem promising for the development of multicoloured displays made from the same class of polyfluorene derivatives.

AbstractThe paper reviews the recent year publications concerning organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). A lot of works have been performed to help understanding the structural and electrical properties of materials used to construct OFETs. It has been established that in partially ordered systems, the charge transport mechanism is thermally activated and field-assisted hopping transport and the hopping transport between disorder-induced localized states dominate over intrinsic polaronic hopping transport seen in organic single crystals. Many research attempts have been carried out on the design of air-stable organic semiconductors with a solution process which is capable of producing OFETs with excellent properties and good stability when subjected to multiple testing cycles and under continuous electrical bias. Recent experiments have demonstrated ambipolar channel conduction and light emission in conjugated polymer FETs. These achievements are the basis for construction of OLED based displays driven by active matrix consisting of OFETs.

The phenomenon of bioluminescence has fascinated layman and scientist alike for many centuries. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a number of observations were reported on the physiology of bioluminescence in Renilla, the common sea pansy. More recently biochemists have directed their attention to the molecular basis of luminosity in this colonial form. These studies have centered primarily on defining the chemical basis for bioluminescence and its control. It is now established that bioluminescence in Renilla arises due to the luciferase-catalyzed oxidation of luciferin. This results in the creation of a product (oxyluciferin) in an electronic excited state. The transition of oxyluciferin from its excited state to the ground state leads to light emission.

In scanning luminescence x-ray microscopy (SLXM), a high resolution x-ray probe is used to excite visible light emission (see Figs. 1 and 2). The technique has been developed with a goal of localizing dye-tagged biochemically active sites and structures at 50 nm resolution in thick, hydrated biological specimens. Following our initial efforts, Moronne et al. have begun to develop probes based on biotinylated terbium; we report here our progress towards using microspheres for tagging.Our initial experiments with microspheres were based on commercially-available carboxyl latex spheres which emitted ~ 5 visible light photons per x-ray absorbed, and which showed good resistance to bleaching under x-ray irradiation. Other work (such as that by Guo et al.) has shown that such spheres can be used for a variety of specific labelling applications. Our first efforts have been aimed at labelling ƒ actin in Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells. By using a detergent/fixative protocol to load spheres into cells with permeabilized membranes and preserved morphology, we have succeeded in using commercial dye-loaded, spreptavidin-coated 0.03μm polystyrene spheres linked to biotin phalloidon to label f actin (see Fig. 3).

The use of fast-freeze fixation (FFF) followed by freeze-substitution (FS) brings substantial advantages which are due to the extreme rapidity of this fixation compared to the conventional one. The initial step, FFF, physically immobilizes most molecules and therefore arrests the biological reactions in a matter of milliseconds. The second step, FS, slowly removes the water content still in solid state and, at the same time, chemically fixes the other cell components in absence of external water. This procedure results in an excellent preservation of the ultrastructure, avoids osmotic artifacts,maintains in situ most soluble substances and keeps up a number of cell activities including antigenicities. Another point of interest is that the rapidity of the initial immobilization enables the capture of unstable structures which, otherwise, would slip towards a more stable state. When combined with electrophysiology, this technique arrests the ultrastructural modifications at a well defined state, allowing a precise timing of the events.We studied the epithelium of the elytra of the scale-worm, Harmothoe lunulata which has excitable, conductible and bioluminescent properties. The intracellular sites of the light emission are paracrystals of endoplasmic reticulum (PER), named photosomes (Fig.1). They are able to flash only when they are coupled with plasma membrane infoldings by dyadic or triadic junctions (Fig.2) basically similar to those of the striated muscle fibers. We have studied them before, during and after stimulation. FFF-FS showed that these complexes are labile structures able to diffentiate and dedifferentiate within milliseconds. Moreover, a transient network of endoplasmic reticulum was captured which we have named intermediate endoplasmic reticulum (IER) surrounding the PER (Fig.1). Numerous gap junctions are found in the membranous infoldings of the junctional complexes (Fig.3). When cryofractured, they cleave unusually (Fig.4-5). It is tempting to suggest that they play an important role in the conduction of the excitation.
