A novel functional diamine N12, containing triphenylamine moiety, biphenyl, tert-butyl substituents and long alkyl chain, N,N-bis(4-aminophenyl)-p-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-dodecyloxy phenyl) aniline (N12), was synthesised and characterised. A series of polyimides (PIs) were prepared based on 2,2ʹ-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine, 4,4ʹ-oxydiphthalicanhydride and different contents of N12 via a conventional two-step procedure that included a ring-opening polyaddition to gain polyamic acids, followed by chemical cyclodehydration. The chemical structures of the intermediates, diamines and PIs were characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. All of the PIs were amorphous and exhibited good solubility in both polar aprotic solvents and some low boiling point solvents. PIs containing different content of N12 could induce highly uniform vertical alignment of liquid crystals (LCs). More importantly, PIs derived from N12 showed a good rubbing resistance. Besides, all PI films showed high transmittance in the wavelength range 400–700 nm and good thermal stabilities. Such PIs could be suitable candidates for alignment layers used in the manufacture of high-performance vertical alignment mode LC displays.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is increasingly used as an oxidant for in situ remediation of organic contaminants in soil and groundwater. In this study we demonstrated that sulfamethazine (SMZ) could be transformed by PMS in the absence of any activators. Such transformation was ascribed to the oxidation by PMS per se, rather than free radicals (SO 4 − or HO ), superoxide (O 2 − ), or singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). The aniline moiety of SMZ molecule was the reactive site for PMS oxidation, leading to the formation of nitrated products. This nitration pathway in fact played a significant role in the removal of SMZ in activated PMS oxidation processes. For instance, it contributed 26% of the total SMZ transformation, while SO 4 − contributed the other 74% during the removal of SMZ, in Co(II)/PMS oxidation process with initial PMS and Co(II) concentrations of 1.0 mM and 0.1 μM, respectively. Similar nitration reaction also occurred to other sulfonamide antibiotics bearing an aniline moiety upon the reaction with PMS. Since nitrated sulfonamide antibiotics appear more persistent than the parent compounds and may cause other environmental problems, such a pathway should not be desired. Therefore, PMS might not be an ideal oxidant for the treatment of sulfonamide antibiotics and other compounds having aniline moieties, especially in subsurface remediation practices where efficient activation of PMS represents a major challenge.

Lubricating oils offers abundant information about the operating state of machines. In this work, a donor–acceptor aggregation-enhanced emission fluorescent molecule, (Z)-4-(1-cyano-2-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)vinyl)benzonitrile (CPA–TPA), was synthesized to investigate its function to sense the viscosity and polarity of lubricant base oils. The results indicated that the molecule showed steadily-increased fluorescence emission with the base oil viscosity. In a mixture of poly-α-olefin/ester base oils, its optimal emission gradually red-shifted with the ester oil fraction, i.e., the polarity of the lubricant. A good correlation could be established between the emission intensity of the probe and the oil viscosity or between the optimal emission wavelength and the oil polarity. This demonstrates a dual-response fluorescent probe used for lubricating oil analysis and opens a new opportunity to develop a molecule-based method for the evaluation of lubricating oil quality.

A novel functional diamine containing triphenylamine and biphenyl moieties as well as a long alkyl chain, N , N -bis (4-aminophenyl)-4-(dodecyloxy-biphenyl)-4′-aminophenyl ether (B12), was successfully synthesized. A series of novel polyimides (PIs) with triphenylamine units in the polymer backbone were prepared from B12, 3,3′-dimethyl-4,4′-methylene-dianiline (DMMDA), and 4,4′-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) via a conventional two-step procedure that included a ring-opening polyaddition to give polyamic acids (PAAs) followed by chemical cyclodehydration. The chemical structures of the intermediates, diamine, and PIs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR). All PIs were amorphous and readily soluble in many organic solvents, including tetrahydrofuran. PI films attained from a casting method showed high transmittance (above 90 %) in the wavelength range 400–700 nm and induced highly uniform vertical alignment of liquid crystals (LCs). PIs-B12 derived from B12, DMMDA, and ODPA exhibited much higher thermal stabilities than with the corresponding PIs-D12 from 4-dodecyloxy-biphenyl-3′,5′-diaminobenzoate (D12). The results demonstrated that the introduction of triphenylamine units into the polymer backbone improves the thermal stability of the PIs without deteriorating their solubility.

In this study, six polyschiff bases (PSBs) were created by reacting 2,5-di(pyridin-4-yl)terephthalaldehyde with four artificial diamine monomers . All six polymers demonstrated excellent solubility in typical solvents and notable color variations in the domain of electrochromic characteristics. After blocking, polymer films had good coloration efficiencies, with the highest polymer P5 having a coloration efficiency of 289 cm 2 C −1 . The block polymers also respond faster, with P5 having the quickest bleaching time (2.8s) and P6 having the quickest coloration time (1.1s). After 1000 s of cycling, all six polymers displayed good cycling stabilities and minimal losses. Moreover, Three photodetector devices based on blocked polymers had been produced. The experimental results showed that the three photodetectors had good specific detectivities and high gains. These characteristics suggested that the blocked polymers would be suitable candidates for use as electrochromic and photodetector electrode materials .

It is still a challenge for scientists to eliminate interference and improve chromatic aberration in designing colorimetric uranyl ions sensors, and it is also not clear how the species of uranium and sensor synergistically affect the coloration mechanism and coordination mode of ligands containing nitrogen or oxygen atoms at different pH. Herein, we design and synthesize 2-(5′-(p-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-2′-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)phenol (abbr. S-LH ) for the colorimetric detection of uranyl ions in mixed solvents. The rational introduced triphenylamine group by density functional theory (DFT) calculation enhances the chromaticity difference of the S-LH toward uranyl ions, making the detection limits of the uranyl ions approximately one order of magnitude lower than that of the present UV–vis and visual method. The species of S-LH and uranium at different pH are clarified and it well explains the reason of different color changes after adding uranyl ions. Stability constant experiments show that S-LH has excellent anti-interference to other metal ions during detecting uranium. The coordination structure of S-LH towards UO 2 2+ is further confirmed by HRMS , 1 H NMR titration, and DFT calculation. Finally, colorimetric test strips with S-LH are prepared to detect uranium in Xiang River, providing an on-site and real-time method to detect uranyl ions in the environment.

Polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers were functionalized with phenyl amine group via aryl diazonium reaction “on water” to improve their interfacial bonding with resin matrix. Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were employed to characterize ordered degree, functional groups, chemical states and morphology of carbon fiber surface, respectively. The results showed that phenyl amine groups were grafted on the fiber surface successfully. Mechanical property test results indicated that the aryl diazonium reaction in this paper could improve the interfacial shear strength by 73%, while the tensile strength was down very slightly. Hence aryl diazonium reaction “on water” could be a facile green platform to functionalize carbon fibers for many interesting applications.

Two different aromatic diamines monomers (3, 5-diamino-N-(4'-phenyl-4''-triphenylamino)-N-(4''-benzyl-4'''-triphenylamino)benzamide (DPTBTB) and 3, 5-diamino-N-(4'-3'', 4'', 5''-trifluorobiphenyl)-N-(4''-benzyl-3''', 4''', 5'''-trifluorophenyl)benzamide (DTBTB)) containing flexible linkages were designed and synthesized, respectively. Four organo-solubility polyimides (PI-a, PI-b, PI-c, and PI-d) were prepared via a two-step procedure with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 3, 3', 4, 4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), respectively. The four PIs performed excellent thermal stability with the temperature of 5% weight loss in range of 370–420 ℃ at N 2 atmosphere. The Al/PI-a/ITO and Al/PI-b/ITO memory devices exhibited binary write-once-many-read (WORM) and rewritable (Flash) behavior, respectively. But the Al/PI-c/ITO and Al/PI-d/ITO memory devices showed ternary WORM and Flash behavior due to the deeper charge traps came from the fluorinated groups in the structure of PI-c and PI-d, respectively. The memory switching mechanism could be demonstrated through molecular simulation. The results gave an effective strategy that adjusting the structure of PI to achieve different memory effects.
