In this paper, a intermediate compound of solar cell materials and plant activator was reported. 4-hexyl aniline as the raw material, through a series of reactions to get a new compound E and characterized by 1H NMR and IR. This compound has excellent solubility in common solvents and as a promising candidate of synthesizing organic solar cell materials and plant activator.

Organic light-emitting materials D1~D3 containing triphenylamine donors, bipyridine acceptors and olefinic linkers were synthesized and characterized. The optical, electrochemical properties of materials were studied by UV-Vis spectra, fluorescence emission spectra and cyclic voltammetry method. The results show that the maximal absorption peaks of three compounds are in the range of 404nm~408nm and fluorescence emission peaks at the region of 534nm~557nm in dichloromethane solutions, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry measurement showed that these compounds had HOMO energy level in the range of-5.02eV~-5.16eV, which is proper for hole injection. The properties indicate that these compounds have potential for the application as light-emitting materials or hole-transporting materials.

Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon materials have been synthesized by using melamine-formaldehyde resin as carbon precursor and SBA-15 as a removable template. The structure of the materials was investigated by X-ray diffraction, BET specific surface area analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. X-ray and BET studies confirmed that a pore nanostructure is inherited from the silica templates. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed N atoms are strongly bonded in the carbon structure in heterocycles or nitrile functions. These mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon materials exhibits textural properties with BET surface areas ranging between 400 and 600 m2/g and uniform pore size(3.9 nm). The mechanism of carbonization process is studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The ratio of melamine/formaldehyde plays an important role during the carbonization process for the surface areas and textural properties, and element analysis reveals that the nitrogen content of the mesoporous carbon materials is as high as 10wt%.
