A series of a-cyanostilbenes substituted with dimethylaniline, diphenylaniline and carbazole was synthesized and their optical spectroscopic properties in homogeneous solvents, the dioxane-water binary mixture and the solid state were investigated. Stilbenes (1 and 4) exhibit weak emission behavior in homogeneous solvents but show remarkable red-shifted emission along with enhanced intensity in water and in the solid state. This phenomenon is due to the aggregation induced enhanced emission effect. Other stilbenes also exhibit significant solvatochromic emission behavior and have similar enhanced emission characteristics in water and the solid-state. The sensitivity of emission to changes in acidic or basic strength establishes the utility of these molecules as fluorescence probes.
Adsorption of all the reactants and order of addition play a key role in the synthesis of 1,4-diazepines depicting possibility of Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism.
Room temperature multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are reported using Bi2O3, BiVO4, and Bi2WO6 (nanoparticle) as heterogeneous catalysts. Among these, Bi2WO6 (5 mol%) nanoparticles showed excellent reactivity for the synthesis of functionalized dihydropyridine, polyhydroquinoline, 4H-chromene and 2-amino-4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives in aqueous medium.
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.
