Neckers, Advisor Carbazole is a heterocyclic tricyclic aromatic organic compound consisting of two six- membered benzene rings fused on either side of a five-membered nitrogen-containing ring. A large number of carbazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized and organic electronic devices based on these derivatives such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), have been investigated. Ever since Tang and VanSlyke constructed electroluminescent (EL) devices using organic materials as emitters, development of efficient and stable EL materials has taken good momentum. Carbazole derivatives are widely used as materials for EL and hole-transporting layers of OLEDs which use their high charge mobility. The optical and electrical properties of carbazoles are affected by substitution on the 2-, 3-, 6-, 7- and 9H-positions. Many carbazole derivatives have sufficiently high triplet energy to make them an efficient host where they can serve as red, green, or blue triplet emitters. Highly fluorescent and stable carbazole-based compounds were synthesized and characterized. Substitution of carbazoles at 3- and 6- position by tert-butyl group enhanced the solubility. They showed high extinction coefficients of absorption (Amax 328-353 nm) and quantum yields of fluorescence ( max 386-437 nm; ΦF 0.72-0.89; F 2.09-3.91 ns) in dichloromethane. The quantum yields of fluorescence of these compounds in the solid state were also high ( max 385-422 nm; ΦF 0.40-0.85). Simple synthetic procedures were developed to prepare other stable carbazoles. These compounds emit blue, green, and orange-red light. The red-shifted emission in the solid state which can be as much as 120nm relative to that in solution is highly dependent on the nature and positions of the substituents.. The presence of a carbaldehyde or malononitrile on the v carbazole moiety quenches fluorescence severely in solution and in the solid state. However, the effect is not the same for the fluorescence lifetime. Lowering the temperature from 25 0C to 0 -10 C causes a small but distinct red-shift in the emissions and a systematic increase in the ΦF values of blue and green emitters. A considerable edge excitation red shift was observed for some of these compounds. The emission of some of these compounds in solution showed both specific and general solvent effects. Nanoparticle research is currently an area of intense scientific work, due to the wide variety of potential applications in biomedical, optical, and electronic fields. Today nanotechnology has been used in various fields ranging from optoelectronic devices to sensors, in biological imaging as well as in third-order non-linear optics. A nanoparticle is a small object, sized between 1 and 100 nanometers, that behaves as a single whole in terms of its transport and properties. Suitably susbtituted carbazoles form highly stable fluorescent organic nanoparticles. The emission of these nanoparticles was reversibly switched on/off in the blue-green and orange-red regions from a change in the ratio of the tetrahydrofuran/water system used in their preparation. The size of the nanoparticles was depends on the solvent ratio and the emissions were significantly red shifted compared to those of dilute solutions in tetrahydrofuran. Similarly, highly stable composite fluorescent organic nanoparticles (CFONs) were prepared by co-reprecipitation of blue and red emitting carbazole-based organic compounds from water/tetrahydrofuran mixtures. SEM images showed diversity in particle size. Emission spectra of CFONs prepared from different ratios of red and blue emitters covered the entire visible region from 400 to 700 nm. Confocal microscopy measurements revealed composite vi organic nanoparticles emitting a white light. CIE coordinates of these CFONs demonstrated high color purity (CIE X, Y: 0.34, 0.35). These data indicate that these compounds and their nanoparticles have potentials as emitting materials in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). vii DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my parents, Yadu Nath Adhikari and Neem Kumari Adhikari, my brother Prem Raj Adhikari, sister in-law Uma Devi Sapkota, my father- in-law Shreekanta Regmi and my cousin Tanka Prasad Subedi for their inspiration, devotion, faith and support throughout this process and for helping me for my dreams to come true. viii ACKNOWLEDGMENT I would like to express my deepest gratefulness to my advisor Dr. Douglas C.

These water-insoluble compounds are reduced by sodium dithionite and sodium hydroxide and applied as vat dyes, whereby they become soluble as disodium dihydro compounds, e.g.: ^2H,2NaOH -2H20 Before the availability of sodium dithionite (1871), the reduction of indigo was brought about by bacte- ria with reducing properties (fermentation vat). The vat of indigo has a brown-yellow colour. The cloth is dipped in the vat and then exposed to air to allow reoxidation to indigo which is precipitated and finely distributed onto the fibre. A consequence of this process is the low rubbing fastness of the dyes. It causes the faded appearance of indigo-dyed jeans and makes possible the manufacture of 'faded jeans'. Since the seventies, indole compound5.14s Isoindolehave lost their importance as textile dyes. They have, how- ever, found application in other fields, e.g. in polaroid photography.

Pyrrole, pyrazole, indoles, carbazoles, and diarylamines were successfully vinylated in good yields. Cross-linked and linear polymers were synthesized from N-vinyl carbazoles through free radical and cationic polymerization. Post-modification of olanzapine (an antipsychotic drug substance) was successfully performed. Keywords: acetylene; calcium carbide; vinylation; olanzapine; functionalization 1. Introduction Nitrogen-containing compounds are one of the most important functional molecules in modern chemistry, biology, and drug development. Nucleic acids, N-heterocyclic compounds, amines, amino-acids, and their biopolymers are pivotal to a vast majority of biochemical processes. Effective modification of secondary amines by the insertion of a vinyl group leads to demanded N-vinyl derivatives with a variety of new applications. Vinylated products are interesting both as biologically active cores [1] and as versatile building blocks for polymerization [2]. At the same time, carbazole-based compounds are considered promising as photoconductors and charge-transporting materials [3] in the aftermath of the discovery of photoconductivity in poly(N-vinylcarbazole) [4].

Abstract: The photophysical properties of closo-ortho-carboranyl-based donor–acceptor dyads are known to be affected by the electronic environment of the carborane cage but the influence of the elec- tronic environment of the donor moiety remains unclear. Herein, four 9-phenyl-9H-carbazole-based closo-ortho-carboranyl compounds (1F, 2P, 3M, and 4T), in which an o-carborane cage was appended at the C3-position of a 9-phenyl-9H-carbazole moiety bearing various functional groups, were syn- thesized and fully characterized using multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the solid-state molecular structures of 1F and 4T were determined by X-ray diffraction crystallography. For all the compounds, the lowest-energy absorption band Citation: Lee, S.H.; Lee, J.H.; exhibited a tail extending to 350 nm, attributable to the spin-allowed π–π* transition of the 9-phenyl- Mun, M.S.; Yi, S.; Yoo, E.; Hwang, H.; 9H-carbazole moiety and weak intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) between the o-carborane and Lee, K.M.

The reaction proceeds in synthetically useful yields. Introduction Scheme 1 From the extensive work of Gassman and his group, the nitrenium ion has received increasing attention from synthetic, theoretical, and biological perspectives.1 How- ever, despite the potential utility of the nitrenium ion as an electrophilic nitrogen, its synthetic applications re- main limited, mainly because it is a short-lived reaction intermediate. Previously, we reported that N-phenylaminophthal- imide reacts with AlCl3 in benzene to generate a phen- ylnitrenium ion that is trapped by benzene to give o- and p-aminobiphenyls and N-phenylaniline.2 On the other hand, with N-(N-methyl-N-phenylamino)phthalimide, the cleavage of the N-N bond results in a positive charge exclusively on the para position of the methylamino group, and 4-methylaminobiphenyl was obtained in 91% yield.3 In an extension of this work, we now have investigated the reaction of N-(N,N-diarylamino)phthal- imides (1) with AlCl3 in benzene, with the expectation that AlCl3-mediated cleavage of the N-N bond might give 4 a diarylnitrenium ion.

Signed:…………………………………………………….. 15 OCTOBER 2014 Date:…………………………………………………… i Abstract Plastic photovoltaic devices based on solution processed conjugated polymers have attracted much attention as potential candidates for the next generation of solar cells. Polymer solar cells based on blends of conjugated polymer donors and molecular acceptors such as PCBM (often referred to as bulk heterojunction solar cells) are attracting a great deal of interest. These systems have potential technological value due to their ease of fabrication and their relatively low production costs. This enabled devices to be produced that have solar power conversion efficiencies approaching 9%. The purpose of this research project is to develop new and more efficient materials for application in this area. A new class of alternating copolymers comprising carbazole units and thieno‐thiophene units for application in the area of bulk heterojunction solar cells is presented in this contribution. The polymers were prepared using Suzuki coupling methods. Three main classes of such polymers were prepared. The first class of polymers P1 ‐ P3 consisted of alternating co‐ polymers comprising thienothiophene repeat units and either 2,7‐linked 9‐alkyl carbazole units P1, or 2,7‐linked‐9‐alkyl carbazole repeat units with fluorine substituents at their 3,6‐ positions P2, or 2,7‐linked‐9,9‐dioctylfluorene P3.
