Microwave-Assisted Synthesis, Optical and Theoretical Characterization of Novel 2-(imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-1-yl)pyridinium Salts

In the last few years, imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine scaffolds and derivatives have attracted growing attention due to their unique chemical structure optical behaviors. this work, a series of pyridylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine corresponding pyridinium salts were synthesized properties investigated evaluate effect quaternization on features both in solution polymeric matrix. A critical analysis based spectroscopic data, structures along with density functional theory calculation is reported address best strategies prevent aggregation optimize photophysical properties. The obtained results describe relationship between behaviors, highlighting role pendant pyridine. Finally, presence positive charge fundamental avoid any possible process films.
