Dr. Ángel Díaz OrtízIn this work, as an equivocal proof of the potential of microwave irradiation in organic synthesis, a complex pyrazine-decorated benzotriazole derivative that is challenging to prepare under conventional conditions has been obtained upon microwave irradiation, thus efficiently improving the process and yields, dramatically decreasing the reaction times and resulting in an environmentally friendly synthetic procedure. In addition, this useful derivative could be applied in organic electronics, specifically in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), exhibiting the highest electron mobilities reported to date for benzotriazole discrete molecules, of around 10−2 cm2V−1s−1.

Jesús AlcázarFormation of all-carbon-substituted quaternary carbons is a key challenge in organic and medicinal chemistry. We report a cobalt-catalyzed C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling that allows for the introduction of benzyl, heteroarylmethylzinc and allyl groups to halo-carbonyl substrates. The cross-coupling reaction is selective for C(sp3)-over C(sp2)-halides, in contrast to most used catalytic metals, and allows access to novel scaffolds of pharmaceutical interest. NMR mechanistic studies suggest the presence of Co(0) complexes as catalytic species.

A series of Donor–π–Acceptor–π–Donor compounds based on a 2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole core branched with different alkynyl donor groups has been characterized and tested in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The electronic and molecular structures were elucidated through optical and vibrational spectroscopy in conjunction with DFT calculations. The results indicate that the planarity of the structure and the good intramolecular charge transfer from the electron-donating to the electron-withdrawing fragments play a critical role in the application of the compounds as semiconductors in OFET devices. The compounds were tested in a top-contact/bottom-gate thin film transistor architecture, and they behave as p-type semiconductors.

Stijn Joeri Van CleuvenbergenIván Torres MoyaThis review article provides an in-depth exploration of the role of gels in the fields of organic electronics and photonics, focusing on their unique properties and applications. Despite their remarkable potential, gel-based innovations remain relatively uncharted in these domains. This brief review aims to bridge the knowledge gap by shedding light on the diverse roles that gels can fulfil in the enhancement of organic electronic and photonic devices. From flexible electronics to light-emitting materials, we delve into specific examples of gel applications, highlighting their versatility and promising outcomes. This work serves as an indispensable resource for researchers interested in harnessing the transformative power of gels within these cutting-edge fields. The objective of this review is to raise awareness about the overlooked research potential of gels in optoelectronic materials, which have somewhat diminished in recent years.

In the present work, we have synthesized a novel green-emitter conjugated polyelectrolyte Copoly-{[9,9-bis(6′-N,N,N-trimethylammonium)hexyl]-2,7-(fluorene)-alt-4,7-(2-(phenyl) benzo[d] [1,2,3] triazole)} bromide (HTMA-PFBT) by microwave-assisted Suzuki coupling reaction. Its fluorescent properties have been studied in aqueous media and in presence of model membranes of different composition, in order to explore its ability to be used as a green fluorescent membrane probe. The polyelectrolyte was bound with high affinity to the membrane surface, where it exhibited high fluorescence efficiency and stability. HTMA-PFBT showed lower affinity to zwitterionic membranes as compared to anionic ones, as well as a more external location, near the membrane-aqueous interface. Fluorescence microscopy studies confirmed the interaction of HTMA-PFBT with the model membranes, labelling the lipid bilayer without perturbing its morphology and showing a clear preference towards anionic systems. In addition, the polyelectrolyte was able to label the membrane of bacteria and living mammalian cells, separately. Finally, we explored if the polyelectrolyte can function also as a sensitive probe able of detecting lipid-phase transitions. All these results suggest the potential use of HTMA-PFBT as a green membrane marker for bioimaging and selective recognition of bacteria cell over mammalian ones and as a tool to monitor changes in physical state of lipid membranes.

Three simple bisamide derivatives (G1, G2 and G3) with different structural modifications were synthesized with easy synthetic procedures in order to test their gel behaviour. The outcomes showed that hydrogen bonding was essential in gel formation; for this reason, only G1 provided satisfactory gels. The presence of methoxy groups in G2 and the alkyl chains in G3 hindered the hydrogen bonding between N-H and C=O that occurred G1. In addition, G1 provided thermally and mechanical stable gels, as confirmed with Tsol and rheology experiments. The gels of G1 were also responsive under pH stimuli and were employed as a vehicle for drug crystallization, causing a change in polymorphism in the presence of flufenamic acid and therefore providing the most thermodynamically stable form III compared with metastable form IV obtained from solution crystallization.
About Me
Iván Torres Moya studied for a degree in Chemical Sciences (2008–2013) at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). He completed his master's degree in Investigation in Chemistry (2013–2014). Meanwhile, he
received a very competitive FPU scholarship to begin his Ph.D. in the UCLM. He obtained the international Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences on 12 February 2019, being awarded with the prize for the best doctoral thesis in Chemistry of the year 2019 by the Territorial Section of Castilla La Mancha of the Royal Spanish Society of Chemistry. During his Ph.D., he acquired a lot of skills in Organic Chemistry and worked in different fields such as optical waveguides, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), polymers, gels, and biomedicine. Furthermore, he has carried out some pre-doctoral stays. Two were in the group of Dr. Juan Teodomiro López Navarrete at the University of Málaga, another one in the group of Dr. Jonathan W. Steed in the University of Durham (United Kingdom), and in the University Miguel Hernández of Elche with Dr. Ricardo Mallavia. In his post-doc stage, he continued working at the UCLM thanks to the talent retention program of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla La Mancha for two and a half years. Then, he moved to the University of Murcia with a prestigious Juan de la Cierva grant where he is currently working in the multifunctional molecular materials group and is professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry in this University.
