X Abstract

The preparation and solvatochromic behavior of novel, intramolecular charge transfer dyes obtained by the condensation of 2-cyanomethylene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran with 4-dimethylamino benzaldehyde and 9-formyljulolidine are described. The absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of the dyes were studied in solvents of differing polarity. The dyes exhibited positive solvatochromism and their solvatochromic properties are discussed with the aid of semiempirical calculations. The HOMO and LUMO values of the dyes were obtained using both cyclic voltammetry and theoretical calculations; the electrochemical results were in agreement with both observed values and theoretical calculations. pH molecular switching was achieved by modulation of intramolecular charge transfer by means of protonation/deprotonation in DMSO solution.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
