Abstract:Some pyrazine dyes are known to display strong fluorescence not only in solution but also in the solid-state. 5-t-Butyl-2,3-dicyano-6-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]pyrazine (1) is a 2,3-dicyanopyrazine dye synthesized for an examination of substituent effects on thin-film growth [1]. Dye 1 was found to exhibit three crystal modifications with different color appearance (I: red, II: black, III: reddish purple). Modification I is a solvate crystal including one chloroform per one dye molecule [2], and modifications I… Show more
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.
