New synthesis of highly potential efficient bluish‐green electroluminescent materials based on 1,3,4‐oxadiazole–triazolopyridinone–carbazole derivatives for single‐layer devices

New potential bluish‐green electroluminescent materials of 1,3,4‐oxadiazole–triazolopyridin‐ one–carbazole derivatives were synthesized and characterized for single‐layer devices. Carbazole, pyridine, and triazolopyridinone were completely introduced into 1,3,4‐oxadiazole skeletal to play assistant roles in controlling fundamental photolytic process due to the electron‐donating nature, excellent photoconductivity, and flexible structure properties. Following the spectroscopic studies and the measurements of cyclic voltammogram, 1,3,4‐oxadiazole–triazolopyridinone–carbazole derivatives were highly efficient bluish‐green electroluminescent materials. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Ibuprofen‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐1,2,3‐triazole Hybrids

A new hybrid polydentate template comprising distinctive pharmacophoric groups, namely, ibuprofen, 1,3,4‐oxadiazole, and 1,2,3‐triazole linked through a thioether bridge was achieved by one‐pot synthesis by exploring multicomponent Cu‐catalyzed “click chemistry” approach. The target structures were characterized by NMR, IR, and LC‐Mass. The X‐ray analysis of 2‐(1‐(4‐isobutylphenyl)ethyl)‐5‐(((1‐(3‐nitrophenyl)‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)methyl)thio)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole ( 8a ) confirmed the assigned structure. The in vitro antibacterial and anticancer activity of these compounds revealed that 2‐(1‐(4‐isobutylphenyl)ethyl)‐5‐(((1‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)methyl)thio)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole ( 8b ) demonstrated more potent antibacterial activity against Gram‐negative strains (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and 2‐(((1‐(2,4‐dimethylphenyl)‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)methyl)thio)‐5‐(1‐(4 isobutylphenyl)ethyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole ( 8e ) exhibited anticancer activity with IC₅₀ of 27.50 and 31.03 μg/mL against HeLa and MCF‐7 cell lines, respectively.     

Synthesis and characterization of 1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐triazolopyridinone hybrid derivatives as new blue‐greenish photoluminescent materials

Recently, New functionalized oxadiazole‐triazolopyridinone hybrid compounds were investigated as photoluminescent materials. In this work, we introduce triazolopyridinone to synthesize a series of oxadiazole‐triazolopyridinone hybrid derivatives as potential photoluminescent materials and explore the effect of modification of the triazolopyridinone moiety. The λ_max values of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of 1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐triazolopyridinone hybrids are promoted to longer wavelengths (470‐486 nm) than the traditional 1,2,3‐triazole derivatives (410‐425 nm) in solutions. PL spectra 5a, 5d , and 5g of the vacuum evaporated films on quartz substrates, with a maximum at 487 nm, shows a red‐shift (～15‐20 nm), with respect to the solution spectrum. The solution fluorescence quantum yields (Φ_f) were measured, all of which fell into the range 0.65‐0.76, and were determined relative to that of 2‐phenyl‐5‐(4‐biphenyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole in benzene (Φ_f = 0.80). 1,3,4‐Oxadiazole‐triazolopyridinone hybrid derivatives show clearly non‐reversible reduction processes in cyclic voltammogram measurements. Following spectroscopic studies and observation of the electrochemical behaviors, 1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐triazolopyridinone derivatives were determined to be potential efficient bluegreenish photoluminescent materials.

Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some 1,2,4‐triazole, 1,3,4‐oxa(thia)diazole,and 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives

3‐Methyl‐2‐benzofurancarboxylic acid hydrazide ( 2 ) reacts with carbon disulfide and pota‐ ssium hydroxide to give the corresponding potassium carbodithioate salt 3 .

Synthesis and optoelectronic properties of luminescent poly(p‐phenylenevinylene) derivatives containing electron‐transporting 1,3,4‐oxadiazole groups

Three random copolymers ( P1–P3 ) comprising phenylenevinylene and electron‐transporting aromatic 1,3,4‐oxadiazole segments (11, 18, 28 mol %, respectively) were prepared by Gilch polymerization to investigate the influence of oxadiazole content on their photophysical, electrochemical, and electroluminescent properties. For comparative study, homopolymer poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2′‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐p‐phenylenevinylene] ( P0 ) was also prepared by the same process. The polymers ( P0–P3 ) are soluble in common organic solvents and thermally stable up to 410 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere. Their optical properties were investigated by absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The optical results reveal that the aromatic 1,3,4‐oxadiazole chromophores in P1–P3 suppress the intermolecular interactions. The HOMO and LUMO levels of these polymers were estimated from their cyclic voltammograms. The HOMO levels of P0–P3 are very similar (?5.02 to ?5.03 eV), whereas their LUMO levels decrease readily with increasing oxadiazole content (?2.7, ?3.08, ?3.11, and ?3.19 eV, respectively). Therefore, the electron affinity of the poly(p‐phenylenevinylene) chain can be gradually enhanced by incorporating 1,3,4‐oxadiazole segments. Among the polymers, P1 (11 mol % 1,3,4‐oxadiazole) shows the best EL performance (maximal luminance: 3490 cd/m², maximal current efficiency: 0.1 cd/A). Further increase in oxadiazole content results in micro‐phase separation that leads to performance deterioration. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
