Synthesis, optical properties and cation mediated tuning of the reduction potentials of core-annulated naphthalene diimide derivatives

Abstract

Napthalene diimides (NDIs) are attractive candidates for electrical energy storage owing to the stabilisation of complexes between eletrogenerated dianions and cations. However, stability of such complexes are often compromised due...

A para-azaquinodimethane integrated quinoidal conjugated microporous polymer

“…Halochromism allows for reversible tuning of the optical and electronic properties of the molecules without causing structural alterations. [39][40][41][42] The basic lactam nitrogen in the p-azaquinodimethane can interact with the acid and modulate it's properties. Interestingly, when the polymer is exposed to TFA, the colour of the polymer turned black (Fig.…”

Cluster Preface: Functional Dyes

“…15 Mahata and co-workers reported assembly-dependent optical properties of perimidinium imide dyes. 16 Functional dyes are a branch of applied chemistry. Understanding their photophysical and photochemical properties is the basis for their function.…”
