Summary

We present the synthesis of an amphiphilic hexayne and its use in the preparation of carbon nanosheets at the air-water interface from a self-assembled monolayer of these reactive, carbon-rich molecular precursors.

Abstract

Amphiphilic molecules equipped with a reactive, carbon-rich “oligoyne” segment consisting of conjugated carbon-carbon triple bonds self-assemble into defined aggregates in aqueous media and at the air-water interface. In the aggregated state, the oligoynes can then be carbonized under mild conditions while preserving the morphology and the embedded chemical functionalization. This novel approach provides direct access to functionalized carbon nanomaterials. In this article, we present a synthetic approach that allows us to prepare hexayne carboxylate amphiphiles as carbon-rich siblings of typical fatty acid esters through a series of repeated bromination and Negishi-type cross-coupling reactions. The obtained compounds are designed to self-assemble into monolayers at the air-water interface, and we show how this can be achieved in a Langmuir trough. Thus, compression of the molecules at the air-water interface triggers the film formation and leads to a densely packed layer of the molecules. The complete carbonization of the films at the air-water interface is then accomplished by cross-linking of the hexayne layer at room temperature, using UV irradiation as a mild external stimulus. The changes in the layer during this process can be monitored with the help of infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy and Brewster angle microscopy. Moreover, a transfer of the carbonized films onto solid substrates by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique has enabled us to prove that they were carbon nanosheets with lateral dimensions on the order of centimeters.

Introduction

İki boyutlu karbon nano yapılar nedeniyle rapor üstün termal, elektrik, hem de mekanik özellikleri 1-5 önemli dikkat çekmek. Bu malzemeler Polimer kompozit 6, enerji depolama aygıtları 7 ve moleküler elektronik 8-10 alanlarında teknik ilerlemesinin bekleniyor. Son yıllarda yoğun araştırma çabalarına rağmen, iyi tanımlanmış karbon nano malzemelerin büyük miktarlarda erişim hala teknolojik uygulamalar 11,12 onların büyük ölçekli uygulama engellemektedir hangi sınırlıdır.

Karbon nanomalzemeleri ya yukarıdan aşağı ya da aşağıdan yukarıya yaklaşımlarla erişilebilir. Bu tür yüzeylerde 14-16 pul pul dökülme teknikleri 13 veya yüksek enerjili süreçleri gibi tipik yaklaşımlar yapısal mükemmellik ve çok iyi bir performans yüksek derecede malzeme elde etmek imkanı sunuyoruz. Bununla birlikte, yalıtım ve inci saflaştırılmasıe ürünler zorlu kalır ve tanımlı Nanoyapılı malzemelerin büyük ölçekli üretim zor 12'dir. Öte yandan, aşağıdan yukarıya yaklaşımlar, molekül öncüleri kullanımına dayalı bu tanımlı yapılara düzenleme ve karbon nano 17-23 veren bir sonraki karbonizasyon kullanılabilir. Bu durumda, ön-kendilerini daha karmaşıktır ve bunların hazırlanması, genellikle birden fazla sentetik adım gerektirir. Bu yaklaşımlar ortaya çıkan malzemelerin kimyasal ve fiziksel özellikleri üzerinde kontrol yüksek derecede sunabilir ve özel malzemelere doğrudan erişim vermek olabilir. Bununla birlikte, C-nano içine öncüler dönüştürülmesi, genellikle gömülü kimyasal işlevsellik 24-27 bir kaybına yol açar, 800 ° C'nin üzerindeki sıcaklıklarda gerçekleştirilir.

Hedef yapı halinde, bu haberci moleküllerin dönüşüm ya da UV ışığı ile ışınlama sırasında oda sıcaklığının altında meydana gelir. oligoyne amfifillerin yüksek reaktivitesi, muhtemel hava-su ara ya da sıvı-sıvı arayüzlerine yumuşak şablonlar, kullanır. Önceki araştırmalarda, başarıyla hexayne glikozit amfifillerin 28 çözümlerinden veziküller hazırlanmıştır. Bu veziküller çapraz bağlanması numunelerin UV ışınımı ile yumuşak koşullar altında elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca, kısa bir süre önce bir metil karboksilat baş grubu ve bir Langmuir teknedeki hava-su ara yüzeyinde bir hidrofobik alkil kuyruk hexaynes kendi kendine monte mono tabakaları elde. yoğun paketed molekül ön sonra düpedüz UV ışıması ile, oda sıcaklığında kendinden destekli C nanosheets dönüştürüldü. İlgili yaklaşımlarda tarif molekül ön en son hava-su arayüzünde 32-38 iki boyutlu genişletilmiş nanosheets hazırlanması için kullanılmıştır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, hexayne amfifillerin karbon nanosheets hazırlanmasına olanak genel sentez ve üretim aşamalarının bir özlü, pratik bir bakış vermektir. Odak deneysel yaklaşım ve hazırlayıcı sorular yer almaktadır.
