In the paper, two kinds of CdS nanorods with diameter of 50-150 nm were synthesized by using amphiphilic alanine as the templating reagent. XRD, TEM and polarized light microscopy were used to examine the course of CdS growth. The nanorod with a hexagonal pore microstructure was fabricated when the mesophase exhibited hexagonal morphology of the polarized light microscopy image. The XRD pattern of the nanorods with hexagonal pore microstructure showed a clear peak in 2θ=0.88° which suggested the existence of hexagonal pore. While the mesophase disappeared and isotropic polarized light microscopy image shows that CdS would propagate into nanorod without hexagonal pore. It was deduced that nanorods with hexagonal pore grow in the hole of hexagonal liquid crystal and those CdS growth without hexagonal pore are in isotropic solution by the absorption of amphilphilic alanine. It was suggested that different nanostructures could be generated under various chemical micro-environments to reveal their special functionalities.
Three azo-dyes, 4′-{[(2-hydroxylethyl)methyl]amino}-4-nitroazobenzene(1), 1-[4-(4′-nitrophenyl)-azophenyl]-3,5-biphenyl-2-pyrazoline(2) and 1-[4-(4′-nitrophenyl)-azophenyl]-5-(4′-hydroxylphenyl)-3-phenyl-2-pyrazoline(3) were synthesized. The polarized photoinduced birefringence and relaxation process of those azo-dyes doped with PMMA films were investigated under polarized laser intensity. The results indicate that compounds with pyrazoline group have a high storage rate and thermal stability. It has been found that the birefringence signals decrease with the increase of the temperature, but the effect of temperature is different for the three compounds. Compounds 2 and 3, with pyrazoline groups have a good thermal stability at room temperature, and compound 3 can even keep 30% of its maximum birefringence at 90 ℃.
A novel inorganic-organic nanocomposite film was prepared and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, XRD and DTA-TG. IR and UV-Vis spectra show that the Keggin structure of SiW 12O 4- 40 polyanion is preserved in the composite film and there is an interaction between H 4SiW 12O 40 and the organic substrate. The composite film showed a reversible photochromism. Under UV irradiation, the composite film turns blue and charge transfer occurs by oxidation of R-NH + 3 and reduction of SiW 12O 4- 40. When the irradiated samples are placed in air and sheltered from the light, they change back to their original color, and recover again when being exposed to UV light.
One fluoride tri-phenyl pyrazoline compound(FTPP) was synthesized. It showed an efficient photoluminescence(PL) ability to form a film. When FTPP was doped into poly(vinylcarbazole)(PVK) to form a film by spin-coating method, we found that the energy can be transferred from PVK to FTPP. Two types of organic eletroluminescent devices(OELDs) using PVK doping FTPP as emitting layer were fabricated, one was double layer device: ITO/PVK∶FTPP/PBD/Al and the other was three-layer device: ITO/PVK∶FTPP/PBD/Alq 3/Al. 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivative(PBD) was used both as electron-transporting layer and as hole-barrier layer. 8-Hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq 3) was also used as electron-transporting layer. All devices could emit a blue light.
