Abstract:
Two novel donor-σ-π-σ-acceptor-type dispiro molecules-10-phenyl-10H-dispiro-acridine-9,9'-anthracene-10',9''-fluorene-2'',7''-dicarbo-nitrile (DiSAAF) and dispiro-fluorene-9,9'-anthracene-10',9''-quinolino[3,2,1-kl]phenoxazine-2,7-dicarbonitrile (DiSFAQ)-with excellent thermal stability are designed and synthesized. Both materials exhibit blocked long-range intramolecular charge transfer but show intermolecular charge-transfer emission in the film state. Their photophysical and thermal properties then are fully investigated and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 21.7% of the red phosphorescent device is achieved by DiSAAF.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
