“…Regarding other key structural components of dye 2b, the N1eN2eC7eC12 torsion angle is À13.9 and the C4eC13eC14 bond angle of 114.7 , indicating that the 4-perfluoroalkyl group is not coplanar with phenyl ring A, unlike the 4-NO 2 group of dyes such as 4e7 [5,11]. As illustrated in Table 2, this influences the l max of arylazoaminobenzene dyes.…”
