Synthesis and photovoltaic properties of alternating conjugated polymers derived from indolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]carbazole and thiophene/thieno[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]thiophene-cored benzoselenadiazole

Two alternating narrow band gap (NBG) copolymers derived from 5,11-di(N-9-heptadecanyl)-indolo[3,2-b]carbazole (ICZ) and 4,7-di(thien-2-yl)-2′,1′,3′-benzoselenadiazole (DSeBT) or 4,7-di(thieno[3,2-b]thien-2-yl)-2′,1′,3′-benzoselenadiazole (DTSeBT), were synthesized and named PICZ-DSeBT and PICZ-DTSeBT, respectively. The PICZ-DSeBT shows good solubility in common organic solvent, and the PICZ-DTSeBT is soluble in hot o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) and not good soluble in chloroform, toluene etc. The chemical structure, molecular weight and fundamental physical properties of the copolymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), cyclic voltammetry (CV), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) etc. Potential application of the copolymers to be employed as electron donor material and PC61BM ([6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁ butyric acid methyl ester) for photovoltaic solar cells (PSCs), were investigated. PSCs based on the blends of PICZ-DSeBT/PC₆₁BM (w: w; 1: 2) or PICZ-DTSeBT/PC₆₁BM (w: w; 1: 2) with devices configuration as ITO/PEDOT: PSS/blend/Al, show the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 1.06% and 1.52%, with the open circuit voltage (V _oc) of 0.75 V and 0.70 V, short circuit current densities (J _sc) of 3.45 mA/cm² and 5.30 mA/cm² under an AM1.5 simulator (100 mW/cm²) and the photocurrent response on-set wavelength extending up to 760 nm and 800 nm, respectively. It indicates that the NBG copolymers are viable electron donor materials for PSCs.

Annulation of 2-chloropyridine-3,4-dicarbonitriles with hydrazine hydrate and N,N-dimethylhydrazine afforded 3-aminopyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-4-carbonitriles and 3-amino-1-methylpyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine- 4-carbonitriles, respectively.     

Recyclization of 1,3-dialkyl-6-nitro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridine-2,5(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-diones into imidazole derivatives

Treatment of 5-amino-1,3-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with sodium nitrite in aqueous HCl gave 1,3-dialkyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2,5(3H,4H)-diones which were nitrated with potassium nitrate in sulfuric acid to 6-nitro derivatives, and the latter underwent recyclization into 4-amino-1,3-dialkyl-5-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ones by the action of hydrazine hydrate.     

Alkylation of 2-(hydroxyimino)-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]-pyrimidin-3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Alkylation products were obtained from ethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)-7-methyl-3-oxo-5-aryl-2,3- dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-6-carboxylates at the treatment with alkyl halides, dimethyl sulfate, and diazomethane. Diazomethane alkylated the initial substrate at the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group of the thiazolidine fragment, the other reagents, at the oxygen atom of the hydroxyimino group.     

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-one derivatives

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl derivatives at 0–5°C and 60°C gives 5-nitro-and 5,6-dinitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively. The latter can also be obtained by nitration of 5-mononitro derivatives under similar conditions. The nitration of 6-chloro-and 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones and their N-methyl-substituted analogs leads to the formation of the corresponding 6-chloro(bromo)-5-nitro compounds. The same products are formed in the nitration of 5,6-dichloro-and 5,6-dibromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. In this case, the process involves replacement of the halogen atom in position 5 of the pyridine fragment by nitro group. The nitration of 6-bromo-5-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by oxidation of the 5-methyl group to carboxy.

The interaction of 3-allylsulfanyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole with iodine led to 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2',3':3,4][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-11-ium pentaiodide with an angular structure, on the basis of which 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo-, 1-methylidene-1,2-di-hydro[1,3]thiazolo, and 1-methyl[1,3]thiazolo derivatives were obtained. The intramolecular cyclization of 3-propargyl(allyl)sulfanyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indoles under the influence of concentrated sulfuric acid led to linear annelated products:3-methyl[1,3]thiazolo[3',2':2,3][1,2,4]tri-azino[5,6-b]indole or its 2,3-dihydro derivative.

A new series of twenty four derivatives of pyrano[3,2-c]chromene IVa-x bearing 1H-pyrazole were synthesized by a one pot, base-catalyzed cyclocondensation reaction of 1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde Ia-l, malononitrile II and 4-hydroxycoumarin IIIa-b. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened against six bacterial pathogens, namely B. subtilis, C. tetani, S. pneumoniae, S. typhi, V. cholerae, E. coli and for antifungal activity against two fungal pathogens, A. fumigatus and C. albicans using the broth microdilution MIC method. Some of the compounds were found to be equipotent or more potent than commercial drugs against most of employed strains, as evident from the screening data.

An efficient tandem reaction approach is described to prepare novel benzo[f]chromenes from 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene, malononitrile and aldehydes using 10 mol% guanidine hydrochloride as the catalyst under solvent-free conditions. The method was also extended to the preparation of novel 12H-benzo[5,6]chromeno[2,3-b]pyridines from 2-aminoprop-1-ene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile instead of malononitrile under the same reaction conditions. The described one-pot three-component reaction is characterized by short reaction times, high-product yield, mild reaction conditions, simple workup procedure, and simple purification.
