A White-Light-Emitting Molecule: Frustrated Energy Transfer between Constituent Emitting Centers
摘要:
White-light-emitting single molecules are promising materials for use in a new generation of displays and light sources because they offer the possibility of simple fabrication with perfect color reproducibility and stability. To realize white-light emission at the molecular scale, thereby eliminating the detrimental concentration- or environment-dependent energy transfer problem in conventional fluorescent or phosphorescent systems, energy transfer between a larger band-gap donor and a smaller band-gap acceptor must be fundamentally blocked. Here, we present the first example of a concentration-independent ultimate white-light-emitting molecule based on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer materials. Our molecule is composed of covalently linked blue- and orange-light-emitting moieties between which energy transfer is entirely frustrated, leading to the production of reproducible, stable white photo- and electroluminescence.
AbstractThe microwave assisted, solvent free, parallel syntheses of title compounds is described in this protocol. Twelve new tetraaryl imidazoles, which are incorporated with the chemotherapeutic pharmacophores, have been synthesized by adopting one pot multicomponent reaction. Attempt has been made to investigate the mechanism behind the formation of tetraaryl imidazoles by product identification method. The synthesized compounds were analyzed by physical and analytical data. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial, antitubercular, and short‐term anticancer activity. Compound 13 was found to be the candidate compound to investigate further for its potential anticancer activity. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 46, 278 (2009).
