Photophysical and electrochemical properties of bis(dithiophene)-substituted benzo[1,2-d:4,3-d′]dithiazoles
摘要
Bis(dithiophene)-substituted benzo[1,2-d:4,3-d′]dithiazoles were synthesized by a photochemical cyclization of corresponding N,N′-(benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole-4,7-diyl)- and N,N′-(2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole-4,7-diyl)dithioamides in the presence of chloranil. The mechanism of this cyclization was analyzed. The influence of the structure of the central heterocycle on the electrochemical, electronic, and photophysical properties of the synthesized compounds was studied. Quantum yields for THF solutions of the luminophpores are in the range 0.16–0.62. An increase in the electron-withdrawing effects of the central heterocycle stabilizes the radical anion and reduces the reduction potential, Eonsetred, and the width of the band gap.
