“…The physicochemical properties of these compounds have relevance in the design of new materials, especially organic conductors. 8 Taking this body of research into consideration and in continuation of our studies on the synthesis of new solvent dyes and nitrogen and sulfur-nitrogen fluorescent heterocyclic compounds, [9][10][11][12][13][14] we have synthesized a new blue-violet dye, 2-(3-hydroxyimino-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yliden)-2-(2-thienyl)acetonitrile, via nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen, 15 and a new blue-green sulfur-nitrogen fluorescent heterocyclic system, pyrido[2 0 ,1 0 :2, 3]imidazo [4,5-b]thieno[2,3-e]pyridine-11-carbonitrile, in excellent yields. DFT calculations and cyclic voltammetry analysis were performed and the antibacterial activities of these dyes were also studied.…”
