Photoinduced electron-transfer process of 1,8-naphthalimide-linker-trimethylsilane (NI-O3-TMS, O3 = 3,6,9-trioxaundecyl) and NI-O3 has been investigated using the transient absorption measurements in $CH_3CN$ and $CH_3CN/H_2O$. The excitation of NI-O3-TMS in $CH_3CN$ produced the NI radical anion ($NI^{{\cdot}-}$) with a transient absorption band around 413 nm, via the intermolecular electron-transfer between NI moieties in the excited singlet state. In contrast, in a protic polar solvent mixture of $CH_3CN/H_2O$, a proton abstraction process occurred from $NI^{{\cdot}-}$ to generate the NI ketyl radical ($NIH^{\cdot}$), which showed a transient absorption band around 405 nm. The decay time constants of $NIH^{\cdot}$ were quite long compared to those of $NI^{{\cdot}-}$ in $CH_3CN$.

The first reduction peak of the cyclic voltammogram (CV) for sulfur reduction in dimethyl sulfoxide has been studied using time resolved Fourier transform electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (FTEIS) analysis of small potential step chronoamperometric currents. The FTEIS analysis results reveal that the impedance signals obtained during short potential steps can be resolved into electron transfer reactions of two different time constants in a high frequency region. The FTEIS method provides snap shots of impedance profiles during an earlier phase of the reaction, leading to time resolved EIS measurements. Our results obtained by the FTEIS analysis are consistent with a series of electron transfer and chemical equilibrium steps of a complex reaction, making up an ECE (electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical) mechanism postulated from the results of computer simulation.

Internal reorganization energy due to the structural relaxation in hole or electron hopping mechanism is one of the measurements of key indices in designing an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) for flexible display devices. In this study, the reorganization energies of dicyanoanthracenes for the hole and electron transfer were estimated by adiabatic potential energy surface and normal mode analysis method in order to examine the effect on the energies for the positional variation of the cyano substituents in the anthracene as a protocol of acenes to design an organic field effect transistor. The reorganization energy for the hole transfer was reduced considerably upon cyanation of anthracene, especially at the 9,10-positions of anthracene, and the origin of the reduction was interpreted in terms of understanding the coupling of vibrational modes to the hole transfer.

Since much studies have been performed concerning the electrochemical behaviors and the practical applications of PB based devices, little has yet reported to investigate the best condition for the preparation for PB thin films. As considered some factors(peak shape, peak current, and peak separation) from the i-V curves, the optimal condition in the film growth were investigated under various immersion solutions. An electron-transfer processes of Fe2+/Fe3+ and Fe(CN)63-/4- redox couples were considered by measuring the observed currents as a function of the rotation velocity. The standard heterogeneous electron-transfer rates for these films and bare Au disc electrode in 10-3 M Fe2+/Fe3+ solution, applied at +0.65 V vs. SCE, were 6.14 × 10-3 and 7.78 × 10-3 cm/s, respectively, obtained using a rotating disc electrode. In case of the addition of potassium ion, the rate constants for these Fe2+/Fe3+ system on thin films of PB and bare electrode were given a little high values. The electron transfer rate for 10-3 M Fe(CN)63-/4- were 4.55 × 10-3 and 6.84 × 10-3 cm/s, respectively. The conductivity as directly determined during obtained the voltammogram, was 2.2 × 10-7 (Ω·cm)-1. This value is similar magnitude to that calculated from bulk sample.

Photoinduced electron transport process in nature such as photoelectric conversion and long-range electron transfer in photosynthetic organisms are known to occur not only very efficiently but also unidirectionally through the functional groups of biomolecules. The basic principles in the development of new functional devices can be inspired from the biological systems such as molecular recognition, electron transfer chain, or photosynthetic reaction center. By mimicking the organization of the biological system, molecular electronic devices can be realized $artificially^{1)}$. The nano-fabrication technology of biomolecules was applied to the development of nano-protein chip for simultaneously analyzing many kinds of proteins as a rapid tool for proteome research. The results showed that the self-assembled protein layer had an influence on the sensitivity of the fabricated bio-surface to the target molecules, which would give us a way to fabricate the nano-protein chip with high sensitivity. The results implicate that the biosurface fabrication using self-assembled protein molecules could be successfully applied to the construction of nanoscale bio-photodiode and nano-protein chip based on electrical detection.

The fluorescence and photoisomerization quantum yields of trans-1-(9-anthryl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethene (t-4-APyE), 1-(10-methyl-9-anthryl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethene (t-4-MeAPyE), and 1-(10-chloro-9-anthryl)-2-(4- pyridyl)ethene (t-4-ClAPyE) were measured in cyclohexane, acetonitrile, and methanol at room temperature.Polar solvents result in the drastic reduction of fluorescence quantum yield and increase of photoisomerization quantum yield for all three compounds. These results are probably due to the stabilization of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited state in polar solvent. The higher contribution of ICT in the presence of more electron-donating methyl substituent, manifested by largest positive fluorescence solvatochromism, indicates that the pyridine ring acts as an electron acceptor. Protonation or methylation makes pyridine ring stronger electron acceptor and causes long-wavelength ground state charge transfer absorption band and complete quenching of fluorescence. The fluorescence from t-4-APyE derivatives can be switched off responding external stimuli viz. medium polarity, protonation, or methylation.

Cathode ray tubes (CRT) are the most common electronic display in use in information technology. The CRT consists of an electron gun, electrostatic or magnetic fields to direct the electron beam, and a phosphor screen. When the electron beam strikes the phosphor screen, the phosphor generates light. The phosphor screen has formed by precipitation method, electro-forming and centrifuge method. The high quality product was achieved by electro-forming or centrifuge method. Now applying method is electro-forming used with phosphor and Eh(isopropyl alcohol). Now applying method has been much consumption of raw-material, dirty working environment, dangerous fire and require of high cost. New method to form phosphor surface of monochrome is required to improve this matter. This study was developed novel method to form the phosphor surface by heat-transfer method. This method have advantages of simple process, automatization, clean environment, saving raw material and saving running-cost.

We summarize recent studies on photoinduced electron- and energy-transfer processes of various supramolecules including imide group(s) as a component. Recently, imides have been employed in various functional molecular systems, because of their excellent photophysical and electron accepting properties. Our research group also employed imides in various supramolecular systems such as donor-acceptor dyads, quantum dots, DNA, and so on. First, we summarize fundamental properties of imides such as photophysical and electrochemical properties. Then, photoinduced processes of imides in the supramolecular systems are described to show their applicability in the various fields.

We prepared Organic LED with a two layer structure by vacuum evaporation. The diode consisted of hole transfer layer (thickness of 30, 50, 70 nm) and electron transfer layer (thickness of 70, 50, 30 nm) material, which was N, N'-diphenyl- N, N'-bis-(3-methyl phenyl)-1,1'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine)(TPD) and tris(8-hydroxy quinoline) aluminum(Alq3), respectively. We investigated EL properties of the LED with various thickness and cathode electrode. The best results were obtained when thickness of the electron layer is equal to that of emission layer and when AlLi alloy was used as a cathode. The EL intensity, luminance and efficiency of organic LED with equal of layer thick were improved seven, three and two times, respectively. Alq3 was ionized by carrier injection from cathode and could produce exitons. After electron-hole pairs were formed by combination of the electrons and holes at the emission layer, Alq3 layer emitted light.

Noncovalently linked electron donor-acceptor dyad consisting of zinc tetratolylporphyrin and pyridine appended ruthenium trisbipyridine comlex was prepared, via axial coordination of pyridine moiety in ruthenium trisbipyridine complex on zinc tetratolylporphyrin. For the purpose of comparison, axial coordination of pyridine-appended 2,2'-bipyridine on zinc tetratolylporphyrin was also investigated. The Kvalues were detemined based on absorption of fluorescence studies. The fluorescence of zinc teratolylporphrin was efficiently quenched upon axial coordination of pyridine moiety, prbably due to the photoinduced electron transfer from zinc tetrtolylporphyrin to ruthenium trisbipyridine, supported by free enegy estimation.
