  • We have determined the electronic energy level alignment at the interface between 4,4'-bis-N-phenyl-1-naphthylamino biphenyl (NPB) and 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of 20 nm thick HAT-CN film was located at 3.8 eV below the Fermi level. Thus the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is very close to the Fermi level. The HOMO position of NPB was only about 0.3 eV below Fermi level at NPB/HAT-CN interface. This enables an easy excitation of electrons from the NPB HOMO to the HAT-CN LUMO, creating electron-hole pairs across this organic-organic interface. We also study the interaction of HAT-CN with a few metallic surfaces including Ca, Cu, and ITO using UPS and ab-inito electronic structure calculation techniques.

  • Post emergence herbicidal activities$(pI_{50})$ of X-substituted phenylvinylsulfone derivatives(S) in-vivo against rice(Oryza sativa L.), Barnyard grass(Echinochloa crus-galli) and Pickerelweed(Monochoria vaginalis Presl) were measured by the pot test under paddy conditions. The (S) showed herbicidal symptom rapidly with lower activity(average $pI_{50}=2.0$) as proherbicide, which was excellent tolerance to rice. The structure activity relationships(SAR) were analyzed using such a physicochemical parameters as hydrophobic$({\pi})$ and molecular orbital(MO) quantity by the multiple regression technique, and discussed with quantum pharmacology. The herbicidal activities were related to the hydrophobic$({\pi})$ effect of X-substituent and orbital(HOMO & LUMO) energy. In case of Pickerelweed, the effect was rationalized by parabolic function of ${\pi}$ constant, where the optimal value of ${\pi}$ was 1.10. An increase in hydrophobicity and negative orbital energy by the electron attracting X-substituent may contribute to the herbicidal activity. Based on results proposed from SAR analysis, the mode of herbicidal action could be assumed.

  • Alternating copolymers, poly[9-(2-octyl-dodecyl)-9H-carbazole-alt-4,7-di-thiophen-2-yl-benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole] (PCD20TBT) and poly[9,10-bis-(2-octyl-dodecyloxy)-phenanthrene-alt-4,7-di-thiophen-2-yl-benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole] (PN40TBT), were synthesized by the Suzuki coupling reaction. The copolymers were soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran and toluene. The maximum absorption wavelength and the band gap of PCD20TBT were 535 nm and 1.75 eV, respectively. The maximum absorption wavelength and the band gap of PN40TBT were 560 nm and 1.97 eV, respectively. The HOMO and the LUMO energy level of PCD20TBT were -5.11 eV and -3.36 eV, respectively. As for PN40TBT, the HOMO and the LUMO energy level of PCD20TBT were -5.31 eV and -3.34 eV, respectively. The polymer solar cells (PSCs) based on the blend of copolymer and PCBM (1 : 2 by weight ratio) were fabricated. The power conversion efficiencies of PSCs based on PCD20TBT and PN40TBT were 0.52% and 0.60%, respectively. The short circuit current density ($J_{SC}$), fill factor (FF) and open circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$) of the device with PCD20TBT were $-1.97mA/cm^2$, 38.2% and 0.69 V. For PN40TBT, the $J_{SC}$, FF, and $V_{OC}$ were $-1.77mA/cm^2$, 42.9%, and 0.79 V, respectively.

  • The trans-$A_2B_2$ porphyrin and Ni-porphyrin derivatives were synthesized by Suzuki coupling of bromoporphyrin with arylborate as a key step. The band gaps of those complexes were measured from their absorption, emission and cyclic voltammetric data. All the LUMO energy level of porphyrin derivatives is lower than that of P3HT, and the HOMO energy level is evaluated higher than the HOMO of PCBM.

  • The structure and reactivity of ${\pi}$-and metallacycle form in the bis(trimethylphosphine) palladium(0) complexes with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid(A group) and 3-butenoic acid, 4-pentenoic acid(B group) have been investigated by Molecular Mechanics and Extended Huckel Molecular Orbital method. The calculation shows that A groups with large value of frontier electron density of HOMO and LUMO produce $\pi-complexes$ instead of metallacycle. But B groups with small value of frontier electron density of LUMO, especially 3-butenoic acid, form stable metallacycle. Moreover the methyl-substituted five-membered compared with the six-membered metallacycle is energetically stable conformation.

  • New electron deficient moiety, 6,7-difluoro-2,3-dihexylquinoxaline, was developed for the push-pull type copolymer for organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The PFDTQxF with lower HOMO energy level was synthesized using fluorene and 6,7-difluoro- 2,3-dihexylquinoxaline by Suzuki polymerization. The PFDTQxF thin film shows two absorption peaks at 368 and 493 nm. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels of PFDTQxF are calculated -5.55 and -3.91 eV, respectively. The device comprising PFDTQxF showed a $V_{OC}$ value of 0.47 V, a $J_{SC}$ value of $4.48mA/cm^2$, and a FF of 0.32, which yielded PCE of 0.78%, under the illumination of AM 1.5.

  • We present a hypothetical quantum scattering model to propose a novel electroluminescence device. Adoping with features of solid state semiconductor LED and exciplex laser, the cathode (electrol incoming potential) and anode(electron outgoing potential) are made to correspond to two 1-dimensional resonance supporting potentials, and the light emitting part to an interaction potential in the intermediate region. When an external voltage is applied, the electron flows into the cathode having small work function. Subsequently in flows via LUMO of the " electron incoming potential" loses kinetic energy emitting a photon, then continues to flow via LUMO of the "electron outgoing potential" unlike the conventional LUMO to HOMO transitions occurring in solid state semiconductor LED. In this model, the photon frequency can be controlled by adijusting the applied voltage. The model hopefully could be realized as partially conjugated hydrocarbon chains.

  • CNDO/2 calculations on $XC_6H_4CH_2Cl,\;where\;X = H,\;p-CH_3,\;p-NH_2\;and\;p-NO_2$, and on benzyl radicals, cations and anions have been carried out in order to investigate nonlinear Hammett behavior. Main conclusions reached are: 1. Benzyl chloride exhibits borderline behavior due to ${\sigma}-{\pi}$ conjugation between C-Cl bond and the ring-system. 2. The extent of mutual conjugation can be judged by $\pi$-charge and bond alternation and interfrontier level separation narrowing effects. 3.The electron donating para substituent reduces the HOMO AO coefficient of the benzylic carbon, while the electron withdrawing para substituent reduces the LUMO AO coefficient of the benzylic carbon.
