  • Patent number: 8859771
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent compound containing Iridium, preparation method thereof and an organic electroluminescent device are disclosed. The compound is represented by the structure (2), wherein, R is C1˜C4 alkyl. The structure of the compound contains bipyridine ligand, also carries alkoxy group and fluorine atom, which improves its carrier injection and transfer ability, and increases its internal quantum efficiency and electroluminescent efficiency. Furthermore, the compound uses strong field ligand 2-pyridine carboxylic acid as assistant ligand, which causes an effective blue shift of its emission spectrum and increases light-emitting efficiency of blue light phosphorescence greatly.

  • Publication number: 20140161729
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to method of using a collection of monomers capable of forming multimers as a fluorescence reporter in different applications such as ligand detection/screening, disease diagnosis, drug discovery or screening, fluorescent labeling and imaging, or other fluorescent methodologies. Each monomer in the collection includes one or more ligand elements useful for binding to a target molecule with a dissociation constant of less than 300 ?M and a linker element connected to the ligand elements directly or indirectly through a connector. Association of linker elements of different combinations of monomers, with their ligand elements bound to the target molecule to form a multimer, will generate a unique fluorescent signature different from that produced by those monomers either alone or in association with each other in the absence of the target molecule, when subjected to electromagnetic excitement.

R is H, an alkyl, a cycloalkyl, a bicycloalkyl, an alkenyl, a cycloalkenyl, a bicycloalkenyl, an alkynyl, an acyl, an aryl, an alkylaryl, a halogen, a cyano group, or an isothiocyanoto group, or R is a group that forms an ether, a ketone, an ester, a thioester, a sulfide, or a sulfone. X is COOR? or COSR?. R? is H, an alkyl, a cycloalkyl, a bicycloalkyl, an alkenyl, a cycloalkenyl, a bicycloalkenyl, an alkynyl, an aryl, a halogen, or a cyano group. The compounds may be used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and in television sets, laptop computers, computer monitors, hand-held communication devices, gaming devices, watches, cash registers, clocks, and calculators having liquid crystal displays.

  • Patent number: 8697872
    Abstract: Organoboron compounds are described that upon exposure to light absorb light and isomerize and form a dark-colored isomer. The dark-colored isomer converts back to the colorless isomer upon removal of light, or exposure to oxygen or heat. Such compounds can be added into polymeric matrices such as films. These compounds are suitable for UV-blocking, UV-detecting, and for oxygen-sensing applications. Uses include UV-blocking windows, sunglasses, and as indicators in packaging such as food packaging.
