For the first time, we functionalized the gate-opening metal-organic framework (GO-MOF) of MIL-53(Al) with ammonia borane (AB, NH3BH3) via post-synthesis method. In this report, unusual structural breathing and dehydrogenation behaviors of AB doped MOF (MIL-53-AB) were discovered. Surface coating triggered the GO-MOF breathing phenomenon and opened the structure, and gate was closed after dehydrogenation. The dehydrogenation peak temperature was greatly reduced by 30 degrees C compared to that of pristine AB with suppressed byproduct like ammonia. The MOFs with surface coated AB exhibited remarkably fast hydrogen generation rate and corresponding low apparent activation energy, estimated at < 40 kJ/mol, which is much lower than that of crystalline AB, and even comparable to AB hydrolysis with catalysts. The ammonia borane functionalized MIL-53 has shown greatly improved dehydrogenation from solid phase of AB.

Until now, only limited DPP oligomers delivered ambipolar semiconductor characteristics. To develop a facile strategy of preparing ambipolar mono-DPP oligomers, two dithienyl diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPPT) based-conjugated molecules, DPPT-RD and DPPT-DCV, which contain 3-ethylrhodanine (RD) and dicyano-2-vinyl (DCV) end substituents were synthesized. The influences of the -RD end substituents on the molecular properties, solid-state morphology, and OFET performances of the DPPT oligomer were investigated. The UV-vis absorption and CV results showed that the RD end substituents provide the DPPT oligomer suitable EHOMO and ELUMO for hole and electron injection from the Au source-drain electrodes. Moreover, the RD end substituents also improve the crystalline nature of the DPPT oligomer. That is, DPPT-RD can form crystal arrays with good lattice orientation, larger crystalline size, and without polymorphism. With those properties, DPPT-RD thus display ambipolar characteristic with mu(h) and mu(e) reaching 2.16 x 10(-2) and 7.27 x 10(-2) cm2 V-1 s(-1), respectively.
