We prepared three new compounds [3,6-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenanthrene (3,6-DCP), 2,9-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzo[f]quinoline (2,9-DCBQ), and 3,9-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzo[f]-quinoline (3,9-DCBQ)] containing phenanthrene or benzo[f]quinoline as an electron-withdrawing moiety and a carbazole as electron-donating moiety, respectively, as bipolar hosts for green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs). We intentionally substituted nitrogen atom to the C-3 position of phenanthrene moiety to prepare benzo[f]quinolinegroup. And, we found that it allowed better electron transporting behavior than the phenanthrene moiety. Meanwhile, the benzo[f]quinoline/phenanthrene core moieties significantly improved the thermal stability of those host materials, which exhibited glass transition and decomposition temperatures of 132–139 and 395–427 °C, respectively. The green PHOLEDs which were fabricated with those host materials showed the lowest operating voltage of 4.7 V at 1000 cd/m2 when we used 3,9-DCBQ. Very interestingly, it has an asymmetric structure with completely separated HOMO and LUMO in space. In contrast, 3,6-DCP having phenanthrene and carbazole moieties showed much higher operating voltage of 6.1 V which imply that replacing nitrogen at the C-3 position of phenanthrene improves carrier transport, that is, electron transporting behavior. As a result, the 3,9-DCBQ-based PHOLED showed the best overall performance, exhibiting current and power efficiencies of 48.5 cd/A and 20.6 lm/W, respectively.

Through postreducing the pore size of a mesoporous shell, Hoveyda-Grubbs2nd catalyst was successfully encapsulated within yolk-shell structured silica, leading to a heterogeneous catalyst for olefin metathesis. Such a catalyst exhibits much higher activity than the reported encapsulated catalysts in olefin ring-closing metathesis and cross metathesis. This excellent activity can be attributed to the combination of a hollow structure in the interior and permeable mesopores in the shells. This catalyst shows good recyclability, highlighted by eight cycles of reaction. This work not only supplies an excellent heterogeneous olefin metathesis catalyst but also demonstrates that yolk-shell structured silica materials can be used as an innovative scaffold to encapsulate homogeneous catalysts.

We here report the synthesis and biological evaluation of several combretastatin A-4 derivatives alkylated at the phenol hydroxyl group. Some of these derivatives contain an (E)-arylalkene fragment reminiscent of that present in some natural stilbenes like resveratrol. The cytotoxicities towards one human healthy kidney embryonic and two tumoral cell lines were determined. In addition, the ability of these compounds to inhibit the production of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was measured. Finally, the expression of genes controlling the production of telomerase was measured. Some of the compounds were found to have an activity comparable or higher than that of combretastatin A-4 in at least one of the aforementioned biological properties. The compounds with the (E)-arylalkene fragment were in general terms more active than the simple O-alkyl derivatives. However, no clear structure/activity correlations were perceived when comparing the observed compound activities across the three biological properties. This points out the existence of marked differences between the mechanisms responsible for their cytotoxicity.
