Chiral donor–π-acceptor azobenzene dyes
2009
Abstract Four chiral donor–π-acceptor azobenzene dye conjugates were synthesized and characterized. Chiral moieties, namely (S)-(+)-2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propionic acid (naproxen) and (S)-2-aminopropionic acid ( l -alanine), were attached to either the donor end or the acceptor site of the azo compound using ester or amide bonds, respectively. The structures of the molecules were verified using 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI TOF mass spectrometry; spectral properties were evaluated with UV–vis and CD spectrometry whilst thermal stability was determined by TGA. The compounds displayed a broad absorption maximum in the visible region between 433 and 483 nm. All compounds showed relatively high the…
Synthesis and characterization of polyene chromophores with hydroxyl functionalization
2008
Abstract Eight hydroxyl functionalized donor–acceptor polyene chromophores 3–10 were synthesized and characterized. Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aromatic polyenals with 2-cyanoacetamide derivatives was utilized to synthesize chromophores with all-E configuration. Chromophores of this kind can be attached covalently to polymers or functionalized with dendrons in order to tune the properties. The structures of the molecules were verified by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-TOF mass spectrometry and UV–vis measurements. Reduced bond-length alternation of the molecules in DMSO-d6 solution were observed by calculating the average difference of the vicinal coupling constants between adjacent CH CH an…
Synthesis and characterization of chiral azobenzene dye functionalized Janus dendrimers
2008
Abstract Eight bischromophoric bisMPA based polyester Janus dendrimers emanating from a pentaerythritol core were synthesized and their properties evaluated. 4-((4-(Ethyl(2-(2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)propanoyloxy)ethyl)amino)-phenyl)diazenyl)-benzoic acid and 4-((4-(ethyl(2-(2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)propanoyloxy)-ethyl)-amino)phenyl)diazenyl)-3-nitrobenzoic acid were attached to the dendritic polyester skeleton to make chiral dendrimers up to the second generation. The structures and the purity of the molecules were verified with 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI TOF mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Spectral properties were evaluated with UV–vis and CD spectrometer. The compounds displaye…
