Abstract
Imide-functionalized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) endow fascinating optoelectronic properties, rendering them suitable for many applications. Developing these new kinds of functional materials is interesting and challenging. Dinaphtho[1,2-a:1′,2′-h]anthracene (DNphA), a non-planar S-shaped double helical helicene within the PAH class, has received relatively little research. In this contribution, a series of solution-processable DNphA diimide derivative dyes (M1∼M5) were designed and synthesized. The density functional theory calculation, photophysical and electrochemical properties of the new fluorescent dyes have been investigated. Notably, M5 was used as a fluorescent developer for latent fingerprint visualization, where fingerprints on different substrates displayed clear yellow-green fluorescence. This research provides insights into the efficient design strategy of the imide functionalization of DNphA and the synthesis and application of DNphA diimide-based functional dyes.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
