A ZnPc(COOH)4/Fe3O4/Ch photosensitizer was synthesized by immobilization of ZnPc(COOH)4 onto Fe3O4/chitosan nanoparticles by a simple immersion method.
Using a drop casting method, stronger absorbent and photosensitive composite thin films based on a copper-phthalocyanine (CuPc) oligomer and a poly (N-epoxypropylcarbazole) (PEPC) copolymer were developed. Morphology, structural behavior and optical properties of CuPc:PEPC composite thin films have been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-VIS spectroscopy. The SEM images of pure CuPc organic thin films show the formation of some elongated shapes, while the morphology of CuPc:PEPC composite thin films is mainly controlled by the content of CuPc. XRD analysis of the CuPc:PEPC composite thin films reveal good crystallinity and the beta-copper phthalocyanine phase. Study of optical properties of CuPc:PEPC composite thin films after annealing in hydrogen atmosphere show decrease of the average optical transmittance. In addition, the broadening of the absorption bands increases the light harvesting capacity of the composite material for photovoltaic applications.
Abstract. 3-(4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl-1-(4-isothiocyanatophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one was obtained from the corresponding N,N-dimethylthyoureas by elimination of dimethylamine at heating with gaseous hydrogen chloride in chloroform and 1-(4-isothiocyanatophenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-il)prop-2-en-1-one by treating 1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-(3-(pyridin-2-il)-acryloyl)-phenyl)thyourea with acetic anhydride. The difference in the reactivity of the groups >C=O and NCS in the synthesis with hydrazine hydrate and its derivatives allows the synthesis of some 1,3-disubstituted propenones with thiosemicarbazide groups (4-and 1,4-disubstituted) in good yields. From 4-substituted thiosemicarbazides and 2-formilpyridine thiosemicarbazones were obtained. In the case of some derivatives, the propenone group in the reaction with hydrazine hydrate allows the formation of pyrazole derivatives. All obtained compounds were investigated for antileukemia activity. It was found that this activity is more pronounced for thiosemicarbazide derivatives with two pyridine nuclei at concentrations 10 -5 -10 -7 mol/L.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
