Dendronized hyperbranched polymer(DHP) is a new kind of polymer, which combines the advantages of dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers. In this work, two dendronized hyperbranched polymers, DHPG0 and DHPG1, were successfully prepared through the simple "A_3+B_2" type Sonogashira coupling reaction. The nonlinear optical(NLO) effects of DHPG0 and DHPG1, characterized by the d33 values, were 183 and 220 pm V^(–1) respectively, higher than those of their analogues of dendronized polymers and dendrimers, thanks to the special topological structure. Also, the obtained polymers displayed excellent solubility, good processability, and high thermal stability.
Perylene diimide(PDI) derivatives, due to their special opto-electronic property, have been successfully utilized in organic field-effect transistor(OFET), solar cells, and as non-fullerene acceptor and others,while few cases in organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs). In this work, six perylene bisimide-based red emitters, N,N''-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)-1-([1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-5'-yl)perylene-3,4,9,10-diimide(STPH),N,N'-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)-1,7-bis([1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-5'-yl)perylene-3,4,9,10-diimide(DTPH), N,N''-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)-1-(5'-phenyl-[1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4-yl)perylene-3,4,9,10-diimide(STRPH), N,N0-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)-1,7-bis(5'-phenyl-[1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4-yl)perylene-3,4,9,10-diimide(DTRPH),N,N0-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)-1-(4-(2,2-diphenylvinyl)phenyl)perylene-3,4,9,10-diimide(STTPE) and N,N'-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)-1,7-bis(4-(2,2-diphenylvinyl)phenyl)perylene-3,4,9,10-diimide(DTTPE), with the excellent chemical, thermal and photo-chemical stability, are synthesized through the convenient Suzuki coupling reaction, in which, the fluorescent properties can be modified easily from ACQ to AIE by just simply changing the bulky volume of the introduced aromatic substituents.

Thanks to the pure blue emitting, high planarity, electron rich and ease of chemical modification, pyrene has been thoroughly investigated for applications in organic electronics such as organic light emitting diodes(OLEDs), organic field effect transistors(OFETs), and organic solar cells(OSCs). Especially, great progresses have been made of pyrene-based organic semiconductors for OFETs in past decades. Due to the difference of molecular structure, pyrene-based organic semiconductors are divided into three categories, pyrene as terminal group, pyrene as center core and fused pyrene derivatives. This minireview gives a brief introduction of the structure-property relationship and application in OFETs about most of pyrene-based semiconducting materials since 2006,illustrating that pyrene is a good building block to construct semiconductors with superior transport property for OFETs. Finally, we provide a summary concerning the methodology to improve the transport property of the pyrene-based semiconducting materials as well as an outlook.
Dendrimers are considered as a promisingfamily of organic second-order nonlinear optical(NLO)polymers because of their well-defined structures, easily modified peripheral functional groups, interior branches and central cores.In order to obtain NLO materialswith high performance, dendrimer structures have beenoptimized in the past years, such as the "branch only" and the "root containing" type dendrimers. This feature article highlights the achievements in exploring the rational design of dendrimers, partially marked by their macroscopic NLO performance.
Two organic sensitizers(LI-33 and LI-34) with double anchoring units were synthesized and utilized for dye sensitized solar cells(DSSCs), which contained thiophene or vinyl thiophene as π-bridge. The introduction of double anchoring units can change their absorption spectra and energy levels in a large degree, thus, the better light-harvesting ability and the convenient electron transfer along the whole molecule can be obtained. The solar cell based on LI-34 exhibited a broad incident photonto-current conversion efficiency(IPCE) spectrum and high conversion efficiency(η=6.05%) with coadsorbent CDCA.

The new approaches to construct deep blue aggregation-induced emission(AIE) materials have been explored, which control the conjugation by two different strategies, to make a great step for the commercialization of organic light-emitting diodes. In order to shorten the intramolecular conjugation length, triphenylethylene(t PE)was utilized to construct blue AIEgens as peripheral groups,instead of tetraphenylethylene(TPE), the famous AIE star molecule, to yield three blue AIEgens of 3,4-Bt PE-PI, 4,4-Bt PE-PI and 4,4-Bt PE-PPI. Nondoped electroluminescence devices are fabricated by using these three AIEgens as the emitting material layer, the best performance of 3.8 cd/A as the maximum current efficiency achieved at the commission internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of(0.17, 0.18).
