Novel metal complexes of pyridineimine derivative used as auxiliary electron acceptor of D-(A-π-A)2 motif dye sensitizer: synthesis and photovoltaic application was written by Tian, Yong;Wang, Kaixuan;Wu, Xianming;Tang, Shiyu;Zhang, Houpeng;Zhong, Chaofan. And the article was included in Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry in 2022.Quality Control of 1-Bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione This article mentions the following:
The auxiliary acceptors of metal complexes can easily regulate the electron-withdrawing ability of electron acceptor and adjust the balance of push-pull electron of D-A-π-A motif dye sensitizers. Two series of the D-(A-π-A)2 motif dye sensitizer (BDTT-i.m.-Co, BDTT-i.m.-Cu, BDTT-i.m.-Zn, BDTT-i.m.-Cd and FL-i.m.-Co, FL-i.m.-Cu, FL-i.m.-Zn, FL-i.m.-Cd) which use metal complexes of pyridineimine derivative as auxiliary acceptor were designed, synthesized, and characterized. The photovoltaic test of eight complex-based dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) showed that the short-circuit photocurrent d. (JSC) and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of two series dye sensitizers are sequentially increased. BDTT-i.m.-Cd have the highest JSC of 15.58 mA cm-2 and the PCE of 9.13% under AM 1.5 irradiation, which may be due to that electron-withdrawing ability of the auxiliary acceptor metal complexes of pyridineimine derivative can be changed by the strength of coordination bond of the complexes. They also show good terminal stability with decomposition temperatures (Td) higher than 300 °C. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione (cas: 128-08-5Quality Control of 1-Bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione).
1-Bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione (cas: 128-08-5) belongs to organobromine compounds. Most of the natural organobromine compounds are produced by marine organisms, and several brominated metabolites with antibacterial, antitumor, antiviral, and antifungal activity have been isolated from seaweed, sponges, corals, molluscs, and others. The principal reactions for organobromides include dehydrobromination, Grignard reactions, reductive coupling, and nucleophilic substitution.Quality Control of 1-Bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione
