Dyes derived from benzothiazoles are an important class of heterocycles that have remarkable photophysical properties. New photoluminescent 2-phenylbenzothiazole derivatives containing different functional groups were synthesized in high yields and used for the synthesis of silylated derivatives. New photoactive structures were fully characterized and their photophysical properties were investigated. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of benzothiazoles in a series of organic solvents were evaluated. The results showed that benzothiazoles are strongly fluorescent showing absorption in the UV region and emission in the blue region with moderate quantum yields and high Stokes shift. The solvatochromism of benzothiazoles was investigated by Lippert and ET(30) Dimroth-Reichardt empirical solvent polarity scales for organic solvents. The dipole moments obtained by Bakshiev and Kawaski-Chamma-Viallet equations revealed that the excited states are more polar than the ground states.

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.
