Design, characterization and properties of nitrogen-containing novel organic N-type materials by Wu, Yuechao.

“…Although a lot of n-type organic materials have been reported,this research will specially focus on N-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)because Houk et al predicted that the azaacenes have high electron affinities and could be promising candidates for n-type semiconducting materials.In fact,some N-heteroacenes have already shown decent electron mobility.Moreover,N-heteroacenes are more stable(resistive to oxidation or dimerization).In addition,the physical properties of n-substituted heteroacenes strongly depend on the number,position and valence states of nitrogen atoms.These progresses strongly encourage me to prepare larger azaacenes In this thesis,I have designed,synthesized and characterized several new azaacenes,which are expected to exhibit good performance in electronic devices.I developed a simple and efficient method(one or two steps)to prepare targeted azaacenes through condensation reaction starting from commercially available materials.All as-prepared compounds are very stable and have lower bandgaps.Phototransistors based on 6,8,15,17-tetraaza-1.18,4.5,9.10,13.14- tetrabenzoheptacene(TTP)single crystals have been fabricated and this device exhibited excellent performance in amplifying and converting light signal under the photoconductive effect.In addition,9,11,13,22,24,26-hexaza-tetrabenzo[a,c,l,n]heptacene(HATBH)can act as an efficient anion sensor for naked-eye detection of F- and H2PO4- anions and 9,26-dihydro 9,11,13,22,24,26-hexaza-tetrapyrido[3,2-a: 2’,3’-c:3”,2”-l:2”’,3”’-n]heptacene(DHATPH)can selectively sense F- anion among TEN anions(F-,Cl-,Br -,I-,PF6-,HSO4-,NO3-,BF4-,AcO-,and H2PO4-). …”

Systematic bias in trait attributions for deceased friends and relatives by Galang, Adrianne John Real, Ellescas, Bianca Ysabel C., Santos, Jan Marie E., Locsin, Maria Aisha V., Sy, Keena Mayumi D.

“…We extend Bering's conjecture through a within-subjects quasi-experimental study testing the possibility that person perception regarding personality traits might shift in a context where (a) the target is someone known personally, and (b) the target happens to be deceased. One-hundred ten undergraduate students in Manila were asked to rate the Big Five traits of two older adult individuals known to them personally, one of whom must be alive, and the other deceased. …”
