Triethylammonium salt of pyran semisquaraine reacted with N-methyl-substituted heterocyclic salts to give unsymmetrical di-tert-butyl-substituted squarylium dyes. The effect of the terminal heterocycles on the spectral properties of the obtained dyes was studied, and the electronic structure of squaraines and electronic transitions therein were analyzed by quantum chemical methods.
Synthesis, molecular, and crystal structure of 3,4-bis[(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)methyl]cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione and -1,2-dithione
摘要:
Two new dyes have been prepared, 3,4-bis[(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)methyl]-cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione and -1,2-dithione. Their molecular and crystal structures have been studied by X-ray diffraction, and their spectral properties have been characterized. The heterocyclic fragments in the dyes molecules are in the trans-position with respect to the bonds connecting chromophore CH group with the 4-membered ring. Substitution of the carbonyl oxygen to sulfur leads to change in the crystal packing.
