Synthesis of Novel Derivatives of Carbazole-Thiophene, Their Electronic Properties, and Computational Studies

Abstract

A series of carbazole-thiophene dimers,P1–P9, were synthesized using Suzuki-Miyaura and Ullmann coupling reactions. InP1–P9, carbazole-thiophenes were linked at the N-9 position for different core groups via biphenyl, dimethylbiphenyl, and phenyl. Electronic properties were evaluated by UV-Vis, cyclic voltammogram, and theoretical calculations. Particularly, the effects of conjugation connectivity on photophysical and electrochemical properties, as well as the correlation between carbazole-thiophene and the core, were studied. Carbazole connecting with thiophenes at the 3,6-positions and the phenyl group as a core group leads to increased stabilization of HOMO and LUMO energy levels where the bandgap (ΔE) is significantly reduced.

“…The chemicals were used without further purification. The CdSe/CdZnSe/ZnSeS core–shell–shell quantum dots (QDs), dispersed in octane (about 15 mg mL –1 ) were provided by Najing Technology Co., Ltd. 4,4-Bis­(carbazol-9-yl)­biphenyl (CBP), 4,4-bis­((carbazol-9-yl)-3-carbaldehyde)­biphenyl ( 1 ), and 4,4′-bis­((carbazol-9-yl)-3-hydroxy­methyl)­biphenyl ( 2 ) were synthesized according to the literature procedures.…”

Novel Small-molecule Antibacterials against Gram-positive Pathogens of Staphylococcus and Enterococcus Species

“…Recent methods have been described to substitute benzo[b]thiophenes with aryl substituents, but methods to synthesize fused aryl benzo[b]thiophenes are rare [20]. Early methods were also successful to substitute carbazole with thiophene, but thienocarbazoles have not been reported so far [26]. So our approach to produce substituted benzo[b]thiophenes is completely different from earlier methods that concentrated on the benzo[b]thiophene derivatization.…”

A photophysical and spectroelectrochemical study on N-phenyl-carbazoles and their oxidized species

“…procedure and photophysical and electrochemical characterization of new extended systems based on carbazole-chromophore conjugates continue to be subject of constant research, because of their application in optical and functional materials. [14,15] Due to the intrinsic fluorescent capacity of carbazoles, several carbazole derivatives have been investigated for application as selective sensors for metal ions, anions and compounds of biological interest in homogeneous solution. [16][17][18] Recently, studies on the photophysics of several dye-carbazole couples demonstrated the relevance of these chromophoric composites for optical and sensitizing processes.…”
