Synthesis,characterization, and determination of photophysicochemical properties of peripheral and nonperipheral tetra‐7‐oxy‐3,4‐dimethylcoumarin substituted zinc,indium phthalocyanines

The photochemical and photophysical properties of peripheral and nonperipheral zinc and indium phthalocyanines containing 7‐oxy‐3,4‐dimethylcoumarin synthesized were investigated in this study. 7‐Hydroxy‐3,4‐dimethylcoumarin ( 1 ) was synthesized via Pechmann condensation reaction and then the phthalonitrile derivatives [4‐(7‐oxy‐3,4‐dimethylcoumarino)phthalonitrile ( 2 ) and 3‐(7‐oxy‐3,4‐dimethylcoumarino)phthalonitrile ( 3 )] were synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Phthalocyanine compounds containing coumarin units on peripheral ( 4 and 5 ) and nonperipheral ( 6 and 7 ) positions were prepared via cyclotetramerization of phthalonitrile compounds. All compounds' characterizations were performed by spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. The phthalocyanine derivatives' ( 4–7 ) photochemical and photophysical properties were studied in DMF. The photophysical (fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) and photochemical (singlet oxygen and photodegradation quantum yields) properties of these novel phthalocyanines ( 4 – 7 ) were studied in DMF. They produced good singlet oxygen (e.g., Φ_Δ = 0.93 for 7 ) and showed appropriate photodegradation (in the order of 10^?5), which is very important for photodynamic therapy applications.

Faber polynomial coefficient estimates for a comprehensive subclass of analytic bi-univalent functions

In this work, considering a general subclass of analytic bi-univalent functions, we determine estimates for the general Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients of the functions in this class. For this purpose, we use the Faber polynomial expansions. In certain cases, our estimates improve some of those existing coefficient bounds.     

The Synthesis of Novel Macrocycles,Part V. The Coumarin Crown Ethers and Cation Binding with Fluorescence Spectra

Abstract

The 4-H, 4-methyl and 4-phenyl derivatives of benzo-α-pyrone of 12-crown-4 and 15-crown-5 were synthesised starting from 4-substituted-6,7-dihydroxy- and 7,8-dihydroxybenzo-α-pyrones which reacted with dichloropolyethylene glycols in DMF/water/alkali carbonate. The coumarin-macrocycles were identified by elemental analysis, IR, EI-GC-MS as well as ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The full experimental and spectral data is reported along with ion binding data studied in acetonitrile using fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding of the fluorogenic coumarin-crowns with Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ were recognized as specific alterations on their fluorescence spectra that strongly originated from the structures. The observed CEQFS depending on the bound cation radii and macrocycle size evidenced the rules of cationic recognition of macrocycles. Some 15-crown-5 derivatives exhibited interesting Li⁺ and Na⁺ binding selectivities.     

Benzotriazole derivatives as long wavelength photosensitizers for diaryliodonium salt initiators

Two benzotriazole derivative dyes 4,7‐bis(2,3‐dihydrothieno[3,4‐b][1,4]dioxin‐5‐yl)‐2‐dodecyl‐2H‐benzo[1,2,3]triazole, and 2‐dodecyl‐4,7‐bis(4‐hexylthiophen‐2‐yl)‐2H‐benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole are shown to work as efficient photosensitizers for a diphenyliodonium salt initiator in cationic photopolymerization of epoxide and vinyl monomers. Substituted thienyl groups are attached to benzotriazole backbone to extend conjugation and enhance electron density of the molecules. Thereby, it was possible to initiate polymerizations at room temperature using long wavelength UV and visible light. The progress of photopolymerizations was monitored using optical pyrometry. The photopolymerization of an epoxide monomer using solar irradiation was also demonstrated. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2011     

Optical solitons and other solutions to the conformable space–time fractional complex Ginzburg–Landau equation under Kerr law nonlinearity

This study reveals the dark, bright, combined dark–bright, singular, combined singular optical solitons and singular periodic solutions to the conformable space–time fractional complex Ginzburg–Landau equation. We reach such solutions via the powerful extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion method (ShGEEM). Constraint conditions that guarantee the existence of valid solitary wave solutions are given. Under suitable choice of the parameter values, interesting three-dimensional graphs of some of the obtained solutions are plotted.     

Bis­(acesulfamato)­tetra­aqua­cobalt(II)

The crystal structure of the first acesulfame–metal complex, namely tetra­aqua­bis­[6‐methyl‐1,2,3‐oxa­thia­zin‐4(3H)‐onato 2,2‐dioxide‐κN]­cobalt(II), [Co(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(H₂O)₄], is re­ported. The Co^II ion resides on a twofold axis and is coordinated by four aqua ligands defining the basal plane and by two monodentate acesulfamate ligands, via their ring N atoms, in the axial positions. Two intra‐ and three intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions stabilize the crystal structure and form an infinite three‐dimensional lattice.     

Synthesis,spectroscopy, electrochemistry and in situ spectroelectrochemistry of partly halogenated coumarin phthalonitrile and corresponding metal-free,cobalt and zinc phthalocyanines

In this study, the preparation of novel 7-hydroxy-3-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)coumarin (1), the ligand, 7-(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)-3-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)coumarin (2), metal-free phthalocyanine 3 and metallophthalocyanine complexes 4 and 5 (MPcs, M = Co, Zn), β-substituted with 7-oxo-3-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)coumarin functional group was achieved. By the reaction of 7-hydroxy-3-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)coumarin (1) with 1,2-dicyano-4-nitrobenzen in dry DMF as the solvent in the presence of K₂CO₃ as the base, the 7-(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)-3-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)coumarin (2) was synthesized. Compound 2 reacted with Co(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O in 2-N,N-dimethylaminoethanol to furnish a novel coumarin containing cobalt(II) phthalocyanine 4. The cyclotetramerization of 2 with Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O in 2-N,N-dimethylaminoethanol gave the novel coumarin containing Zn(II)phthalocyanine 5; while tetramerization without any metal salts in 2-N,N-dimethylaminoethanol gave the metal-free phthalocyanine 3. The structures of obtained compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, UV–Vis, IR, MALDI-TOF mass and ¹H NMR spectra. The cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry, and in situ spectroelectrochemistry of 7-oxo-3-(2-chloro-4-fuorophenyl)coumarin substituted phthalocyanines 3, 4 and 5 allowed us to identify metal- and phthalocyanine ring-based redox processes of the complexes.
