چکیده

In this paper, we report the first observation of metal-enhanced S(2) emission at room and low temperature (77K). The S(2) emission intensity of Azulene is enhanced by close proximity to Silver island films (SiFs). In this regard, a ≈ 2-fold higher S(2) fluorescence intensity of Azulene was observed from SiFs as compared to a glass control sample. This suggests that S(2) excited states can couple to surface plasmons and enhance S(2) fluorescence yields, a helpful observation in our understanding the interactions between plasmons and lumophores, and our continued efforts to develop a unified plasmon-lumophore/fluorophore theory.

Synthesis and properties of fluorescent 4′-azulenyl-functionalized 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridines

4'-Azulenyl-substituted terpyridines were efficiently synthesized following the Kröhnke methodology via azulenylchalcone intermediates. These azulenyl-containing terpyridines showed fluorescent emission with a fluorescence quantum yield varying from 0.14, in the case of parent terpyridine, to 0.64 when methyl groups are grafted on the azulenyl seven-membered ring. According to the crystal struc...

Stimuli-responsive azulene-based conjugated oligomers with polyaniline-like properties.

Novel azulene building blocks, prepared via the cycloaddition of thiophene-S,S-dioxides and fulvenes, allow for incorporation of the seven-membered ring of the azulene nucleus directly into the backbone of conjugated materials. This unique mode of incorporation gives remarkably stable, stimuli-responsive materials upon exposure to acid. This simple doping/dedoping strategy provides for effectiv...

Azulene based metal-organic frameworks for strong adsorption of H2.

Two Zn MOFs, MOF-645 and MOF-646, comprised of polarized 1,3-azulenedicarboxylate were synthesized. The guest free MOF-646 showed strong MOF-H(2) interactions (7.8-6.8 kJ mol(-1)), which revealed the significant impact of internally polarized azulene backbone to stabilized H(2) molecules in the framework.

Can azulene-like molecules function as substitution-free molecular rectifiers?

The feasibility of employing azulene-like molecules as a new type of high performance substitution-free molecular rectifier has been explored using NEGF-DFT calculation. The electronic transport behaviors of metal-molecule-metal junctions consisting of various azulene-like dithiol molecules are investigated, which reveals that the azulene-like molecules exhibit high conductance and bias-depende...

Synthesis and Properties of 2-(2-Pyridyl)-1-azaazulene

The title azaazulene 3 was synthesized either by reaction of tropone with N-{(2-pyridyl)acetyl}pyridinium iodide in the presence of ammonium acetate or by palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings between 2-halo-1-azaazulene and 2-substituted pyridine. The compound shows relatively stronger basicity compared with 2,2’-bipyridyl. While 3 showed no emission from the S1 state but from the S2 state like ...
