Conjugated systems based on azoles: synthesis, photophysical, and electrochemical properties
摘要
The synthesis of 5-([1,1′-diphenyl]-4-yl)thiophene-2-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, benzo[1,2-d:4,3-d′]bis(thiazole), 1,2,4-triazole, and 1,3,4-selenadiazole is reported. The optical, electrochemical, and electronic properties of these compounds and 2,5-bis(3-decyl-5′-phenyl-[2,2′-dithiophen]-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole were studied. The influence of the nature of the central acceptor heterocycle and side donor blocks on the band gap, position of the frontier orbitals, and photophysical properties was established. It is shown that successive replacement of phenyl units of the conjugated chain by thiophene rings leads to a narrowing of the band gap and to a decrease in the fluorescence quantum yield.
