8-Hydroxyquinoline

Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS) and Visible Spectrometry (VS) was applied for determination of Ag and Li in lithium-aluminium alloy standard sample and test sample, their respective advantages and disadvantages were compared, the excellent selectivity of ICP-OES was confirmed by analyses of certified standard sample. Three different sample digestion methods were compared and discussed in this study. It was found that the better accuracy would be obtained by digesting sample with chloroazotic acid while the content of Li was measured by FAAS, and it was better to digest sample with hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide while determining Ag and Li by ICP-OES simultaneously and determining Ag by FAAS and VS. The interference of co-existing elements and elimination methods was detailedly discussed. Ammonium hydroxide was added to adjust the sample solution into alkalescent and Al, Ti, Zr was precipitated by forming hydroxide precipitation, Mg and Cu was formed complex precipitation with 8-hydroxyquinoline in this condition, then the interference from matrix element to determinate Ag by FAAS was eliminated.

Red phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes based on fluorine-, phenyl-, and fluorophenyl-substituted 2-arylquinoline ligands were designed and synthesized. To investigate their electrophosphorescent properties, devices were fabricated with the following structure: indium tin oxide (ITO)/4,4',4''-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine (2-TNATA)/4,4'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (NPB)/4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (CBP): 8 % iridium (III) complexes/bathocuproine (BCP)/tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum (Alq3 )/8-hydroxyquinoline lithium (Liq)/Al. All devices, which use these materials showed efficient red emissions. In particular, a device exhibited a saturated red emission with a maximum luminance, external quantum efficiency, and luminous efficiency of 14200 cd m(-2) , 8.44 %, and 6.58 cd A(-1) at 20 mA cm(-2) , respectively. The CIE (x, y) coordinates of this device are (0.67, 0.33) at 12.0 V.

Fabrication of efficient blue and white polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) using a well charge balanced, core modified polyfluorene derivative, poly[2,7-(9,9'-dioctylfluorene)-co-N-phenyl-1,8-naphthalimide (99:01)] (PFONPN01), is presented. The excellent film forming properties as observed from the morphological study and the enhanced electron transport properties due to the inclusion of the NPN unit in the PFO main chain resulted in improved device properties. Bright blue light was observed from single layer PLEDs with PFONPN01 as an emissive layer (EML) as well as from double layer PLEDs using tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) as an electron transporting layer (ETL) and LiF/Al as a cathode. The effect of ETL thickness on the device performance was studied by varying the Alq3 thickness (5 nm, 10 nm and 20 nm) and the device with an ETL thickness of 20 nm was found to exhibit the maximum brightness value of 11 662 cd m(-2) with a maximum luminous efficiency of 4.

A series of HMq-bridged dinuclear dysprosium complexes, namely, [Dy(acac)2(CH3OH)]2(μ-HMq)2 (1), [Dy(DBM)2]2(μ-HMq)2(n-C6H14) (2), [Dy(hmac)2]2(μ-HMq)2 (3) and [Dy(hfac)3]2(μ-HMq)2 (4) (HMq = 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline, acac = acetylacetone, DBM = dibenzoylmethane, hmac = hexamethylacetylacetonate and hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate), were structurally and magnetically characterized. X-ray crystallographic analyses of the structures reveal that HMq serves as the effective bridge to link two Dy(iii) centers by means of the phenoxyl oxygen and nitrogen atoms and the periphery β-diketonate ligands complete the coordination sphere by bidentate oxygen atoms. The different substituents on the β-diketonate terminal lead to different coordination models mostly due to the steric hindrance of these substituents, and the electron-withdrawing or donating effects likely influence the strength of the ligand fields and the Dy(iii) ion anisotropy. Measurements of alternating-current (ac) susceptibility on complexes 1-4 reveal that complexes 3 and 4 display significant zero-field single-molecule magnetic (SMM) behavior with barrier energy Ueff/kB = 14.
