Planarization of donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) systems through N-bridges with systematic alteration of S/Se atom(s) resulted in interesting fluorosolvatochromic molecules and their electrochemical polymers.
Thieno-/selenophenopyrrole fused substituted benzotriazoles were synthesized by microwave assisted cyclization with reduced reaction times. Electrochemically obtained polymers of the benzotriazoles showed the formation of a polaron and bipolaron with a 0.1 V bias difference.
The chalcogen (O/S/Se)-induced intriguing variation of structural and optoelectronic properties in a series of chalcogenadiazole-fused indolo[2,3-a]carbazole donor–acceptor (D–A) molecules.
The synthesis, structure, and photophysical and electrochemical properties of triazole fused indolo[2,3‐a]carbazole derivatives 2‐5 are reported. The key step involved in the synthesis of triazole fused indolo[2,3‐a]carbazole derivatives is the Cadogan ring closing reaction. 2‐Hexyl‐5,6‐dinitro‐2H‐benzo[d][1,2,3]triazoles having 4,7‐diaryl capping were subjected to the Cadogan cyclization reaction to obtain compounds 2‐5. In contrast to thiadiazole‐fused indolo[2,3‐a]carbazole 1, bromination of triazole‐fused indolo[2,3‐a]carbazole 4 afforded only meta‐dibrominated product with respect to the nitrogen of fused pyrrole rings on treatment with both N‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) and elemental bromine. These compounds showed positive solvatochromism in their emission spectra. Incorporation of electron‐donating substituent in the indole moiety resulted in the elevation of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to support the experimental findings.
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.
