A New Technique

ABSTRACTThe measurement of Shubnikov-de Haas(SdH) oscillation is proposed as a new technique for evaluating the quality of a heterointerface. The first excited state of 2-dimensional electron energy levels is determined for several samples using the measurements of SdH oscillation. Lower values of the first excited state energy are found for the samples with a low mobility. The low value can be approximately explained in terms of graded interface model.

Bidirectional electronic energy shuttling is shown to occur between the molecular ring and axle components of a rotaxane. The engineered energetic and kinetic parameters give rise to long-lived, delayed luminescence. Perturbation of the quasi-isoenergetic ring and stopper chromophore excited-state energy levels upon cation binding influences the energy shuttling process, and hence luminescence read-out, representing a new potential mechanism in luminescent molecular chemosensor development

Triplet Excited States

The exact energies of the lowest singlet and triplet excited states in organic chromophores are crucial to their performance in optoelectronic devices. The possibility of utilizing singlet fission to enhance the performance of photovoltaic devices has resulted in a wide demand for tuneable, stable organic chromophores with wide S<sub>1</sub> – T<sub>1</sub> energy gaps (>1 eV). Cibalackrot-type compounds were recently considered to have favorably positioned excited state energies for singlet fission, and they were found to have a degree of aromaticity in the lowest triplet excited state (T<sub>1</sub>). This work reports on a revised and deepened theoretical analysis taking into account the excited state Hückel-aromatic (instead of Baird-aromatic) as well as diradical characters, with the aim to design new organic chromophores based on this scaffold in a rational way starting from qualitative theory. We demonstrate that the substituent strategy can effectively adjust the spin populations on the chromophore moieties and thereby manipulate the excited state energy levels. Additionally, the improved understanding of the aromatic characters enables us to demonstrate a feasible design strategy to vary the excited state energy levels by tuning the number and nature of Hückel-aromatic units in the excited state. Finally, our study elucidates the complications and pitfalls of the excited state aromaticity and antiaromaticity concepts, highlighting that quantitative results from quantum chemical calculations of various aromaticity indices must be linked with qualitative theoretical analysis of the character of the excited states.
