We have reported the realization of a plasmonic random fiber laser based on the localized surface plasmonic resonance of gold nanoparticles (NPs) in the liquid core optical fiber. The liquid core material contains a dispersive solution of gold NPs and laser dye pyrromethene 597 in toluene. It was experimentally proved that the fluorescence quenching of the dye is restrained in the optical fiber, which is considered one of the main sources of loss in the traditional laser system. Meanwhile, the random lasing can be more easily obtained in the random laser system with more overlap between the plasmonic resonance of the gold NPs and the photoluminescence spectrum of the dye molecules.
1,7‐Dibromo‐substituted perylene bisimides have been obtained in yields of at least 60 % in regioisomerically pure form by treating the commonly used dibromoperylene‐3,4,9,10‐tetracarboxylic dianhydride with 2‐(diethylamino)ethylamine or 2‐(dimethylamino)ethylamine and then separating the 1,7‐isomer from the regioisomeric mixtures by conventional column chromatography and without recrystallization. The individual regioisomers were fully characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and HRMS. The signals of the protons located in the aromatic region and neighboring the imide nitrogen atom were utilized to confirm the chemical structures of the isomers. The 1,7‐dibromo isomer obtained with 2‐(dimethylamino)ethylamine in such a convenient and efficient way was further used to prepare 1,7‐disubstituted perylene bisimide derivatives by saponification, amidation, and then bay‐position substitution reactions. These compounds exhibited a significant redshift and broadening of their absorption and emission in optical spectroscopy analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
