A series of AIE-active amphiphilic copolymers, PNMPx-b-P(LMAy-co-TPEz), were developed as bioimaging probes. Converse transitions from spherical micelles to vesicles via wormlike micelles of them in water and n-dodecane were happened, respectively.
Two novel ID-based water-soluble conjugated polymers (1)-PIDPV and (2)-PIDPV were synthesized by Heck coupling reaction. These two polyelectrolytes are both consisted of isoindigo units and phenylenevinylene units. In the UV-vis absorption spectra, both (1)-PIDPV and (2)-PIDPV exhibit broad absorption bands that almost cover the whole visible region. Photophysical investigations reveal that the fluorescence of water-soluble PPV can be efficiently quenched by oppositely charged PIDPV at a very low concentration. Cationic PPV shows an efficient quenching effect with K SV 5 1.01 3 10 6 M 21 in the presence of (2)-PIDPV while the anionic PPV gives a lager quenching constant with K SV 5 1.71 3 10 6 M 21 in the presence of (1)-PIDPV. Furthermore, the blend films of watersoluble PPVs and oppositely charged PIDPV also exhibit excellent quenching effect. These properties suggest that (1)-PIDPV and (2)-PIDPV are promising materials in the application of ionic photoactive layer in the organic solar cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
