Este trabalho apresenta a síntese dos plumbatos de estrutura tipo perovskita (ABO3) PbTiO3, PbZrO3 e Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 por rota sol-gel não aquosa, bem como da produção de filmes finos dos precursores desses compostos sobre substratos de polimetilmetacrilato. Os compostos PbTiO3, PbZrO3 e Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 foram preparados e em seguida caracterizados pela técnica de difração de raios X (DRX) e por análise termogravimétrica (ATG). A molhabilidade entre a solução precursora e o substrato foi avaliada pela medida do ângulo de contato. A deposição dos filmes sobre substratos de PMMA foi feita pelo método de spin-coating, e os filmes produzidos foram caracterizados por espectrofotometria UV-Visível, elipsometria espectral e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Os compostos preparados apresentaram a fase perovskita quando tratados a 750°C, no entanto, com tratamentos térmicos a temperaturas abaixo do ponto de fusão do PMMA (120ºC) ainda há alta quantidade de matéria orgânica, o que impossibilita a verificação clara das fases cristalinas. A solução não aquosa do sol-gel apresentou-se molhante ao substrato, o que valida a utilização do método de spin-coating para deposição dos filmes. Os filmes obtidos apresentam transparência na faixa de luz visível, elevada uniformidade na espessura e presença de trincas cuja quantidade aumentou com o número de camadas de deposição. Os valores de índice de refração variaram de 1,7 e 2,0, sendo crescente na ordem PbZrO3, Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 e PbTiO3. Os valores de energia de band gap óptico determinados com base nos valores de transmitância e espessura dos filmes foram entre 3,3 e 3,4 eV para todos os plumbatos investigados. / This work describes the synthesis of plumbates of perovskite-type structure (ABO3) PbTiO3, PbZrO3 and Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 by non-aqueous sol-gel route as well as the production of thin films of these compounds precursors on polymethyl methacrylate substrates. The compounds PbTiO3, PbZrO3 and Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 were prepared and then characterized by of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The wettability between the precursor solution and the substrate was evaluated by measuring the contact angle. The deposition of the films on PMMA substrates were made by spin-coating method, and the produced films were characterized by UV-Visible, spectral ellipsometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compounds had the perovskite phase when treated at 750 °C, however, with thermal treatments at temperatures below the melting point of PMMA (120 ° C) there is still high amount of organic matter, making it impossible to clear verification of crystalline phases. The non-aqueous sol-gel showed up wetting to the substrate, which validates the use of the spin-coating method for films deposition. The obtained films exhibit transparency in the visible light range, high uniformity in thickness and presence of cracks whose amount increased with the number of deposited layers. The refractive index values ranged from 1.7 to 2.0, and increasing in the order PbZrO3, Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 and PbTiO3. The optical band gap energy values based on the transmittance values and thickness of the films were between 3.3 and 3.4 eV for all investigated plumbates.

Iridium complexes with a chiral metal center and chiral carbons, Λ/Δ-(dfppy)₂Ir(chty-R) and Λ/Δ-(dfppy)2Ir(chty-S), were synthesized and characterized. These isomers have the same steadystate photophysical properties, and obvious offsets in ECD spectra highlight both the chiral sources. Each enantiomeric couple shows mirror-image CPL bands with a dissymmetry factor in the order of 10ˉ³.

Une série de dimères composés de thiophène-aniline encombrée stériquement a été synthétisée. Les différents processus de désactivation de l’état singulet excité ont été étudiés par UV-visible, fluorescence, phosphorescence, photolyse par impulsion laser et calculs théoriques. Les graphiques de Stern-Volmer obtenus à partir des expériences de désactivation des états singulet et triplet ont démontré l’efficacité de l’azométhine à désactiver les fluorophores. Les calculs semi-empiriques AM1 examinant l’effet des substituants encombrés ont démontrés que les groupements tert-butyls sur l’aniline ont moins d’influence sur la barrière de rotation N-aryl que les substitutions alkyles en ont sur la rotation de thiophène-C. Les calculs Rehm-Weller basés sur les potentiels d’oxydation et de réduction ont montré que l’autodésactivation de l’état excité des azométhines se fait par transfert d’électron photoinduit menant à une éradication complète de la fluorescence. Des complexes métalliques contenant des ligands azométhines ont aussi été préparés. Le ligand est composé d’une unité hydroxyquinoline lié à un cycle thiophène. Les données photophysiques de ces complexes indiquent un déplacement bathochromique aussi bien en absorbance qu’en fluorescence. Des dispositifs de détection d’ion métallique ont été préparés et un exemple à partir d’une solution de cuivre a montré un déplacement bathochromique. / A series of sterically hindered thiophene-aniline azomethine dyads were prepared. The decay pathways that deactivate the singlet excited state were studied using UV-vis fluorescence and phosphorescence, laser flash photolysis and quantum calculations. Stern-Volmer relationships, derived from singlet and triplet state quenching experiments, showed that azomethines efficiently deactivate the singlet and triplet excited states of fluorophores with bimolecular kinetics. AM1 Semi-empirical quantum calculations examining the effect of bulky substituents on the bond rotational barriers demonstrate that bulky tert-butyl groups attached to the aniline moiety have less influence on the N-aryl bond rotation barrier than alkyl substitutions do on the thiophene-CH bond rotation barrier. Rehm-Weller calculations based on electrochemical potentials demonstrate that azomethines self-quench their excited states via fast and efficient intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer leading to complete fluorescence suppression. Metal complexes containing an azomethine ligand were also prepared. The ligand contains a hydroxyquinoline moiety linked with a thiophene ring. Photophysical investigations of the resulting metal complexes demonstrated significant bathochromic shifts in the absorbance and fluorescence spectra. Metal-ion sensing devices for water solutions were prepared by spin casting the ligand onto glass slides. The metal-ion sensor detected copper in water solutions through a bathochromic shift in the absorbance maximum.

3,5-Dibromo-2-aminobenzamide was reacted with 1,3-cyclohexanedione derivatives in the presence of iodine as catalyst in toluene under reflux to afford novel 6,8-dibromo-2-[3-(2´-alkyl-1´,2´,3´,4´-tetrahydro-6´,8´-dibromo-4´-oxoquinazoline-2yl)propyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-ones in high yields. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of the latter with arylboronic acids in the presence of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2–Xphos catalyst complex and K2CO3 as a base in dioxane-water mixture (3:1, v/v) afforded the corresponding polyaryl-substituted bis-heterocycles in a single step operation. The resultant compounds were characterized using a combination of NMR (1H and 13C) and IR spectroscopic techniques, as well as mass spectrometry. The electronic absorption and emission properties of these polyaryl-substituted bis-heterocycles comprising 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one and quinazolin-4(3H)-one moieties linked by a flexible carbon chain were measured in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and acetic acid by means of UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The absorption spectra of the resultant polyaryl-substituted bis-heterocycles showed blue-shift in acetic acid and red-shift in DMSO, while their emission spectra are blue-shifted in DMSO and red-shifted in acetic acid. The 4-methoxy groups on aryl-substituents caused red shift on π‒π* transition of the aryl-substituents. Moreover, it was also observed that as the propyl linkage becomes more substituted, the absorption and emission intensities decrease. / Chemistry / M. Sc. (Chemistry)
