A series of 2,6-bis-styryl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene fragment containing glass-forming organic compounds with bonded amorphous phase promoting bulky triphenyl moieties through piperazine structural fragment [2-(2-(4-(bis(2-(trityloxy)ethyl)amino)styryl)-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4ylidene)malononitrile derivatives (DWK)-T dyes] in a form of (5,5,5-triphenylpentyl)piperazin-1-yl)styryl)substituent attached to the 4H-pyran-4-yliden fragment in two-position have been synthesized and investigated as the potential light-amplification medium for organic solid-state lasers. DWK-T dye physical properties also depend on the structure of the other styryl-substituent attached to the 4H-pyran-4-ylidene backbone fragment in six-position. Thermal stability of synthesized dyes is above 312°C with the glass transitions from 97°C and up to 109°C. Obtained neat pure spin-cast films based on these compounds show photoluminescence with λ max in range from 672 to 695 nm, ASE λ max from 690 to 704 nm with ASE threshold values in range from 327 to 1091 μJ∕cm 2 , which are mostly influenced by the nature of the electron transition characteristics of various four substituents in a 6-styryl-fragment. The proposed synthetic approach could be useful for obtaining chemically stable and covalently bonded bulky triphenyl group containing glassy dyes, while the synthetic design allows to acquire different nonsymmetric 2,6-bis-styryl-4H-pyran-4ylidene fragment-containing compounds for red and infrared light-emitting and light amplification applications.
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.
