New cyanopyridine‐based π‐conjugative poly(azomethine)s: Synthesis, characterization and electroluminescence studies

Abstract

Four new Schiff-base type conjugative polymers (CPs), that is, Py 1-4 carrying a strong electron-withdrawing cyanopyridine scaffold coupled with different electrondonating aromatic/heteroaromatic moieties were synthesized from their respective co-monomers by simple poly-condensation route. They were subjected to structural, thermal, photophysical, and electrochemical characterizations and theoretical investigations in order to identify their suitability in polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) application. All these polymers showed good film-forming ability and exhibited favorable photophysical behaviors with an optical bandgap in the order of 2.54-2.68 eV. Further, their electrochemical data were used to evaluate highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels. Finally, Py 1-4 were successfully employed as blue-light emitter in the construction of new ITO/PEDOT:PSS/ Py 1-4 /Al configured light-emitting diodes (LED), and the fabricated devices demonstrated stable blue electroluminescence behavior endorsing an effective electrons injection in the PLEDs.

Evaluation of the role of ionic liquid as a modifier for carbon paste electrodes in the detection of anthracyclines and purine-pyrimidine-based anticancer agents

“…pyrimidine shares many properties similar with pyridines and is considered one of the most privileged scaffolds in chemistry [102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]. Several drugs made from purines and pyrimidines have been shown to disable cancer cells in leukaemia, solid tumors, and lymphomas.…”

Exploring optical, electrochemical, thermal, and theoretical aspects of simple carbazole-derived organic dyes

“…The integration of fused heteroaromatics like indole, carbazole, phenothiazine, and phenoxazine into a “push-pull" architecture has emerged as a highly effective design strategy for creating organic materials with diverse optoelectronic applications [ [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] ]. Carbazole-based dyes, have garnered significant attention in various optoelectronics contexts, thanks to their remarkable attributes, including facile functionalization at multiple positions, straightforward synthesis, hole-transporting capabilities, and high molar extinction coefficients.…”
