D–A systems based on oxazolone–coumarin triazoles as solid-state emitters and inhibitors of human cervical cancer cells (HeLa)

D–A systems with solid-state emission and anticancer properties have been synthesized in three steps via the MCR-Click protocol.

LED based on alternating benzene-furan oligomers

A series of conjugated-chain compounds which contain two furan units and more than three other aromatic ring units were synthesized by two different methods, their UV-visible absorption coefficient (ε), maximum absorption wavelengths (λa), fluorescence emission wavelengths (λe), stokes shift and quantum yields (Φ) were determined, the relationships between the molecular structures and the effects of spectral behaviors were discussed. Meanwhile, the excitation spectrum and emission spectrum of 2b and 2d in solid and in ethyl acetate were respectively recorded, the thermal stability of 2b and 2d was evaluated, and the fluorescence emission behaviors of two light emitting diodes, fabricated with 2b and 2d as phosphors, were investigated. The results showed that most of target compounds can perform high fluorescence emission ability, compounds 2b and 2d can perform higher thermal stability under 350°C and they are suitable for making light emitting diode as phosphors, the light emitting diodes fabricated with 2b and 2d can show higher fluorescence emission ability. Therefore, those compounds are worthy of further being developed as fluorescent emission materials.

2-Phenyl-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzyl-idene)-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one

The title compound, C(19)H(17)NO(5), was synthesized as part of a continuing project involving the structures of oxazolone derivatives. The mol-ecule adopts a Z configuration about the central olefinic bond. The 2-phenyl ring is slightly twisted out of the plane of the oxazolone ring system by 11.2 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Optical behaviors of conjugated-chain compounds containing benzene and furan units

Thirteen conjugated-chain compounds which contain benzene and furan units were prepared, their optical behaviors, including UV-vis absorption coefficient (epsilon), absorption wavelengths (lambdaa), fluorescence emission wavelengths (lambdae), and quantum yields (Phi) were measured. Meanwhile, their LUMO and HOMO energy were determined by cyclic voltammetry and their second-order polarizations (betaxxx) values were determined by solvatochromic method, respectively. The results showed that this kind of compounds possess a shorter lambdaa (320-365 nm) and performance a higher Phi values, especially for 2aa, 2ab, 2ac and 2bb, their Phi values are all more than 90%. These compounds, except 2db, showed a higher betaxxx values in DMSO, especially for 2dc (75.77x10(-30) m5 C-1) and 2dd (83.32x10(-30) m5 C-1), than that 10-methyl-acridone (6.578x10(-30) m5 C-1) or 10-benzylacridone (6.845x10(-30) m5 C-1) in DMSO did, and second harmonic generation value of 10-methylacridone and 10-benzylacridone in powder are, respectively, 1.381 and 1.861 times of that value of urea. The betaxxx values and Phi values determined for these compounds in this work were lower than these values which were desired in the original work, this phenomena was explained from their molecular structures. This work confirmed that as these compounds performance shorter lambdaa and higher Phi values, they could be good blue-color optical materials for some fields, such as OLED materials, two-photo absorption materials, fluorescent dyes.
