ABSTRACTFluorescence depolarization studies of polysilane chains in solution have shown that energy transfer along the polymer chains occurs for only a very short time relative to the excited state lifetime and only over short distances before the excited states become trapped in long, low-energy segments. However, in solid films we have shown in previous work that excitons are highly Mobile throughout their 600 ps lifetime at room temperature, presumably because energy transfer among neighboring, parallel chain segments becomes possible. In this paper we report that the exciton-exciton annihilation rate constant decreases by only a factor of five between room temperature and 12 K, showing that the excitons do not become trapped even at low temperatures.

The time-resolved fluorescence of tetracene crystals excited by a single 7-ps pulse of 530-nm light has been measured with a streak camera/OMA system. The singlet exciton lifetime was found to be 300�30 ps at 293 K. Singlet-singlet exciton annihilation was observed, and the rate constant found to be 5 x 10-9 cm3 s-1. In order to fit the observed decay curves, an upper limit of c. 1 x 10-9 cm3 s-1 must be set on the singlet-triplet exciton annihilation rate. The measured singlet-singlet exciton annihilation rate is consistent with a hopping model for singlet exciton motion at room temperature.

Functionalized alkenes were successfully synthesized via a clean procedure in a short time by using a new recycled heterogeneous catalyst prepared from Moroccan oil shale, this catalyst is characterized by different technics such XRD, BET-BJH, MEB-EDS, and TGA, before it’s has been used in the Knoevenagel condensation between different aldehydes and active methylenes. The results showed that coupling the catalyst with ultrasound irradiations could improve the catalytic system in this transformation by achieving the products in a very short time, the results showed clearly that this catalyst could be considered as excellent recyclable support in Knoevenagel condensation.

Abstract A novel method for producing a cellular cured rubber product at room temperature has been developed. Pourable liquid polysulfide polymers are treated with a conventional oxidizing curative and selected water-sensitive or oxidation-sensitive blowing agents. Standing at ambient temperature the viscous liquid mixture gradually “rises” and cures to form a finely porous cellular rubber product. Conventional curatives employed include oxidizing agents such as lead peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide. These convert terminal or pendant thiol groups in the polysulfide polymer chains to chain-connecting disulfide linkages. Water is a byproduct of the curing reaction. In the presence of water-sensitive blowing agents such as, (1) metal salts of azodicarboxylic acid or, (2) metal hydride compounds the water produced in the cure reacts to form copious amounts of nitrogen or of hydrogen. Alternatively, oxidation-sensitive blowing agents such as p, p′-oxybis-(benzene sulfonyl hydrazide) react directly with the oxidizing curative to form nitrogen gas. The blowing reactions are concurrent with cure and efficient and controllable expansion can be achieved. The unique process offers possible economies and special properties in applications of liquid polysulfide rubbers as potting compounds, joint sealants, solvent resistant forms, and cold casting compounds.
