Investigation of Structural and Optical Properties of Some [1,4]Dithiine-porphyrazine Dyes

1,4-Bis(p-tolylamino)-6,7-dichloroanthraquinone 1 when reacted with di(sodiothio)-maleonitrile 2 afforded heterocyclic thianone compound, 5,12-dioxo-5,12-dihydroanthro[2,3-b][1,4]dithiine-2,3-dicarbonitrile 3. Using lithium/pentanol and acetic acid, the dicarbonitrile product 3 was cyclotetramerized, yielding the matching tetra 5,12-dioxo-5,12-dihydroanthro[2,3-b][1,4]dithiine-porphyrazine dye compound (2H-Pz) 4a. The dicarbonitrile molecule was a ring-shaped metallic product utilizing metallic salt and quinoline, yielding the corresponding tetra 5,12-dioxo-5,12-dihydroanthro[2,3-b][1,4]dithiine-porphyrazinato-metal II dyes (M-Pz), M = Zn, Co, or Ni 4b–d. The produced compounds’ elemental analysis investigation, Infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum information accord with the structures attributed to them. The cyclotetramerization and complexation reactions are ensured by the molecular weight and metal load of the produced products. The inclusion of electron-donating groups resulted in a lower optical band gap of the produced dye sensitizers, with “push–pull” promotion of about 1.55 eV. The prepared substituted porphyrazines reveal high absorption in the UV–VIS region, which could be of potential value as a building block for novel electronic and optical materials as well as a sensor for technology. This is considered for improving solar cell absorption. The absorption bands of the synthesized porphyrazine dyes extend beyond 800 nm, so these dyes could be useful in various optoelectronic applications.

Molecular Structure, Thermodynamic and Spectral Characteristics of Metal-Free and Nickel Complex of Tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazolo)porphyrazine

The Knudsen effusion method with mass spectrometric control of the vapor composition was used to study the possibility of a congruent transition to the gas phase and to estimate the enthalpy of sublimation of metal-free tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazolo)porphyrazine and its nickel complex (H₂TTDPz and NiTTDPz, respectively). The geometrical and electronic structure of H₂TTDPz and NiTTDPz in ground and low-lying excited electronic states were determined by DFT calculations. The electronic structure of NiTTDPz was studied by the complete active space (CASSCF) method, following accounting dynamic correlation by multiconfigurational quasi-degenerate second-order perturbation theory (MCQDPT2). A geometrical structure of D_2h and D_4h symmetry was obtained for H₂TTDPz and NiTTDPz, respectively. According to data obtained by the MCQDPT2 method, the nickel complex possesses the ground state ¹A_1g, and the wave function of the ground state has the form of a single determinant. Electronic absorption and vibrational (IR and resonance Raman) spectra of H₂TTDPz and NiTTDPz were studied experimentally and simulated theoretically.

DFT Study of Molecular and Electronic Structure of Y, La and Lu Complexes with Porphyrazine and Tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazole)porphyrazine

Abstract

Electronic and geometric structures of Y, La and Lu complexes with porphyrazine (Pz) and tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazole)porphyrazine (TTDPz) were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compared. The nature of the bonds between metal atoms and nitrogen atoms has been described using the analysis of the electron density distribution in the frame of Bader’s quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM). Simulation and interpretation of electronic spectra were performed with use of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. Description of calculated IR spectra was carried out based on the analysis of the distribution of the potential energy of normal vibrations by natural vibrational coordinates.
