Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Strong Coupling of Carbon Quantum Dots in Liquid Crystals(American Chemical Society, 2022) Sarısözen, Sema; Polat, Nahit; Mert Balcı, Fadime; Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Kocabaş, Çoşkun; Yağlıoğlu, Halime Gül; Balcı, SinanCarbon quantum dots (CDs) have recently received a tremendous amount of interest owing to their attractive optical properties. However, CDs have broad absorption and emission spectra limiting their application ranges. We herein, for the first time, show synthesis of water-soluble red emissive CDs with a very narrow line width (∼75 meV) spectral absorbance and hence demonstrate strong coupling of CDs and plasmon polaritons in liquid crystalline mesophases. The excited state dynamics of CDs has been studied by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, and CDs display very stable and strong photoluminescence emission with a quantum yield of 35.4% and a lifetime of ∼2 ns. More importantly, we compare J-aggregate dyes with CDs in terms of their absorption line width, photostability, and ability to do strong coupling, and we conclude that highly fluorescent CDs have a bright future in the mixed light-matter states for emerging applications in future quantum technologies.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Donor- And/Or Acceptor-Substituted Expanded Radialenes: Theory, Synthesis, and Properties(American Chemical Society, 2014) Ramsaywack, Sharwatie; Karaca, Sıla; Gholami, Mojtaba; Murray, Adrian H.; Hampel, Frank; McDonald, Robert; Elmacı, Nuran; Lüthi, Hans Peter; Tykwinski, Rik R.The synthesis of donor- (D) and/or acceptor (A)-expanded [4]radialenes has been developed on the basis of readily available dibromoolefin (7), tetraethynylethene (10 and 20), and vinyl triflate (12) building blocks. The successful formation of D/A radialenes relies especially on (1) effective use of a series alkynyl protecting groups, (2) Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions, and (3) the development of ring closing reactions to form the desired macrocyclic products. The expanded [4]radialene products have been investigated by spectroscopic (UV-vis absorption and emission) and quantum chemical computational methods (density functional theory and time dependent DFT). The combined use of theory and experiment provides a basis to evaluate the extent of D/A interactions via the cross-conjugated radialene framework as well as an interpretation of the origin of D/A interactions at an orbital level.
