Abstract
This article describes the synthesis along with full photophysical characterization in both solution and solid-state of a series of 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzazole linked to an aza-heterocycle (pyridine or isoquinoline) by one or two aryl rings. The impact of the length of the spacer is investigated in the light of emission wavelength, quantum yield, sensitivity to protons and possibility of transition switch upon protonation. Correlation of first-principle calculations and experimental results help decipher the excited-state dynamics, allowing to draw and discuss hypotheses concerning the nature of the excited species.
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.
