Abstract
A pressure-sensitive elastomer film incorporating fluorenylidene–acridane (FA) in its folded conformation was successfully developed for use in pressure-sensitive applications. The elastomer network was swollen with acetone, creating space to accommodate FA molecules. Although FA dissolved in acetone and adopted a twisted conformer, a [...] Read more.
A pressure-sensitive elastomer film incorporating fluorenylidene–acridane (FA) in its folded conformation was successfully developed for use in pressure-sensitive applications. The elastomer network was swollen with acetone, creating space to accommodate FA molecules. Although FA dissolved in acetone and adopted a twisted conformer, a solvent exchange process with methanol facilitated the reprecipitation of FA in its yellow folded conformation within the elastomer matrix. Confocal and scanning electron microscopy confirmed the incorporation of FA in its folded form within the matrix, while film stretching testing and water resistance analyses highlighted the film’s durability. The film exhibited a reversible color change upon mechanical pressure, reverting back to yellow when treated with methanol. This approach presents a promising method for the integration of FA into elastomer films, with potential applications in flexible mechanical sensors and other responsive materials. Full article

Alkynylallenes offer the varied reactivity patterns of two different multiple bond linkages either separately or in concert. Initially, a short overview of their syntheses, structures, rearrangement mechanisms and synthetic utility, especially when treated with transition metal reagents such as gold(I), silver(I), platinum metals or metal carbonyls, is presented. Subsequently, we focus on the particular case of 1,2-dien-5-ynes (propargylallenes), whereby the shortness of the single atom bridge, and the consequent proximity of the allenyl and alkynyl moieties, facilitates metal-mediated interactions between them. It is shown how these metals can coordinate to either the alkyne or the allene fragment, thus leading to different cyclisation or rearrangement products, dependent also on whether it is the proximal or the distal double bond of the allene that participates in the reaction. Dimerisation of bromo-substituted fluorenylideneallenes bearing silyl or ferrocenyl substituents can occur in either head-to-head or head-to-tail fashion, thereby yielding propargylallene derivatives that undergo unexpected and novel rearrangements, including the formation of molecules possessing unusually long carbon–carbon single bonds. Fluorenyl-bearing propargylallenes react with silver nitrate or iron carbonyl to form novel organic polycyclic systems. Finally, suggestions are offered for future advances in the area. Full article

Abstract
Hydrolytic stability and oxidative stability are the core properties of sulfonated polynaphthylimides (SPIs) as proton exchange membranes. The chemical structure of SPIs directly influences the performance. Herein, three different series of branched SPIs were designed and prepared using 1,3,5-tris (2-trifluoromethyl-4-aminophenoxy) benzene as a [...] Read more.
Hydrolytic stability and oxidative stability are the core properties of sulfonated polynaphthylimides (SPIs) as proton exchange membranes. The chemical structure of SPIs directly influences the performance. Herein, three different series of branched SPIs were designed and prepared using 1,3,5-tris (2-trifluoromethyl-4-aminophenoxy) benzene as a trifunctional monomer and three non-sulfonated diamine monomers, such as 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA), 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]hexafluoropropane (6FODA), and 4,4′-(9-fluorenylidene)dianiline (BFDA). The effect of the chemical structure and degree of branching on SPIs properties is discussed. The results showed that by controlling the chemical structure and degree of branching, the chemical stability of SPIs changed significantly. SPI-6FODA with two ether linkages and a hydrophobic CF3 group has higher hydrolytic stability than SPI-ODA with only one ether linkage. In addition, with the increase of the introduced B3 monomer, the oxidation stability of SPI-6FODA has been greatly improved. We successfully synthesized SPIs with a high hydrolytic stability and oxidative stability. Full article

Composite proton exchange membranes (PEMs) made of novel SPIs and [...] Read more.
A novel sulfonated diamine was synthesized from 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy) benzene [pBAB]. Sulfonated polyimides (SPIs) were synthesized from sulfonated pBAB, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy-2-sulfonic acid) benzenesulfonic acid [pBABTS], various diamines and aromatic dianhydrides. Composite proton exchange membranes (PEMs) made of novel SPIs and a protic ionic liquid (PIL) 1-vinyl-3-H-imidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate [VIm][OTf] showed substantially increased conductivity. We prepared an SPI/PIL composite PEM using pBABTS, 4,4′-(9-fluorenylidene) dianiline (9FDA) as diamine, 3,3′,4,4′-diphenylsulfone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (DSDA) as dianhydride and 40 wt % [VIm][OTf] with a high conductivity of 16 mS/cm at 120 °C and anhydrous condition. pBABTS offered better conductivity, since the chemical structure had more sulfonated groups that provide increased conductivity. The new composite membrane could be a promising anhydrous or low-humidity PEM for intermediate or high-temperature fuel cells. Full article
