Novel substituted 1-amino-4,5,8-naphthalenetricarboxylic acid-1,8-lactam-4,5-imides: experimental and theoretical study

Abstract

The electronic structure of the ground and the first singlet excited state of a novel class of fluorescent dyes, substituted 1‐amino‐4,5,8‐naphthalenetricarboxylic acid‐1,8‐lactam‐4,5‐imides, was studied using both time‐dependent density functional theory and semi‐empirical approaches. It was found that the S0–S1 transition in lactamimides involves presumably HOMO–LUMO electron promotion. Strong intramolecular charge transfer from lactam nitrogen, C‐2 and C‐4 atoms to C‐6 and C‐7 atoms of the naphthalene ring occurs on S0–S1 transition. As a result, donor and acceptor side groups dramatically affect the long‐wave absorption maximum, allowing control of its position over a range of more than 100 nm. Positions 2 and 7 are most sensitive to the electronic effects of the side groups owing to the combination of electronic and steric factors. Three novel derivatives of lactamimides bearing donor and acceptor side groups were synthesized and characterized. Their UV–visible spectra confirmed the results of calculation.

Experimental and theoretical studies of Schiff bases as corrosion inhibitors

“…Organic inhibitors are the predominant compounds used in the oil industry because they can act as a barrier for mild steel against corrosive media. Most of these inhibitors are heterocyclic molecules, such as pyridine, imidazoline and azoles [ 32 – 34 ], or polymers [ 35 , 36 ].…”

Quantum chemical assessment of benzimidazole derivatives as corrosion inhibitors

“…The first group (nitro (-NO2)) is a strong acceptor, while the second (amino (-NH2)) is a strong donor. The nitration of corrosion inhibitor molecules yielded four models for each of the corrosion inhibitor molecules, and the same number of models was obtained for the reduced nitro group [ 53 ].…”

Theoretical Study for the Preparation of Sub-Carbon Nano Tubes from the Cyclic Polymerization of Three Molecules from (Corannulene, Coronene and Circulene) Aromatic Compounds

“…Gaussian 03, Revision C.01 [24] used for the calculation of ground-state geometry was optimized to a local minimum without any symmetry restrictions using basis set 6-31G [25,26]. The becke three-parameter hybrid (B3) [27,28] exchange functional in combination with the Lee-Yang-Parr (LYP) [29] correlation functional (B3LYP) [30,31] was used for all geometry optimizitions, thermodynamic Functions at conditions of (Temperature= 298.150 Kelvin, and Pressure = 1.0 Atm), High Occupied Molecular Orbital Energy (E HOMO ) and Low Unoccupied Molecular Orbital Energy (E LUMO ), and some physical properties for all molecules are addressed in this study.…”
