Photo-Annealing of Merocyanine Aggregates
摘要： In this work we elucidate the fundamental difference between aggregate formation of donor-π-acceptor merocyanines in their electronic ground and excited states. While increasing the π-bridge size favors formation of π-stacked aggregates in the dark, irradiation with visible light causes reorientation of the dyes to form prototype H-aggregates with compensating dipole moments. This photo-annealing changes the supramolecular structure and its UV-vis spectroscopic properties dramatically, thus being of importance for the function of active layers composed of these dyes. Aggregates of the ground state dyes are bound cooperatively through ππ-London dispersion interactions and hydrogen bonds between the polar α-cyano-carboxylic acid groups. However, charge transfer upon photoexcitation leads to repulsion of the polar acid groups. Electronic excitation of the dyes approximately doubles the ground state dipole moment, thus driving molecular reorientation into prototype H-aggregate structures. We show that this photo-induced supramolecular rearrangement can disrupt the large polymeric aggregates formed in the dark. The photo-induced supramolecular structural changes reported in this work will influence the performance of optoelectronic devices composed of these structures and must be controlled to avoid morphological decomposition of active layers upon operation.

Hydrogen Bonds and Molecular Orientations of Supramolecular Structure between Barbituric Acid and Melamine Derivative at the Air/Water Interface Revealed by Heterodyne-Detected Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy
摘要： We studied the supramolecular structure between barbituric acid (pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, BA) and an amphiphilic melamine derivative at the air/water interface by heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (HD-VSFG) spectroscopy. HD-VSFG measurements in situ showed a positive broad band from 2300 to 2950 cm?1. By comparing the experimental results with ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, we assigned the broad band to the NH stretching modes of BA strongly hydrogen-bonded to the melamine derivative. In addition, we report in situ HD-VSFG spectra of the interfacial supramolecular structure in the CO stretching region. Two CO stretching bands were identified. On the basis of the signs of the C=O bands, we uniquely determined the orientation of BA. The strong hydrogen bonds and the molecular orientations are direct evidence for the supramolecular structure based on complementary hydrogen bonds at the air/water interface.

Raman Spectroscopy Investigation of Polytetrafluoroethylene in Different Zones of Impact of Continuous CO2 Laser Radiation
摘要： The surface of polytetra?uoroethylene (PTFE) irradiated with an IR laser was investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The degree of change in the surface depends on the ?uence of the radiation and on the impact zones around the center spot of the laser beam. New absorption bands detected in the spectrum of the irradiated polymer indicate the formation of CF3 groups as a result of the destruction of the polymer chain. Polymer chain carbonization is also observed under laser irradiation. The process of structural changes in laser irradiated PTFE is re?ned on the basis of obtained microphotographs of the supramolecular structure. Density functional theory calculations are used to help in interpreting the Raman spectra.
