A series of new push-pull chromophores were synthesized in moderate to very high yields (65%-97%) by treating TCNE and TCNQ with alkynes substituted by electron-rich diethylaniline and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Some of the chromophores exhibit strong intramolecular charge-transfer bands in the near-1R region with lambda(max). values between 695 and 749 nm. With the help of experimental and theoretical analysis, it is concluded that the trend in lambda(max) values is affected by PAH substituents sterically, not electronically. Steric constraints led to the increased dihedral angles, reducing conjugation efficiencies. The absorption properties of push-pull compounds have been investigated in solvents possessing different polarities. All chromophores exhibited positive solvatochromism. As an additional proof of efficient charge-transfer in push-pull chromophores, quinoid character (dr) values were predicted using calculated bond lengths. Remarkably, substantial dr values (0.045-0.049) were predicted for donor diethylaniline rings in all compounds. The effects of various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on optical and nonlinear optical properties were also studied by computational methods. Several parameters, such as band gaps, Mulliken electronegativity, chemical hardness and softness, dipole moments, average polarizability, first hyperpolarizability, were predicted for chromophores at the B3LYP/6-31+ +G(d,p) level of theory. The predicted first hyperpolarizability beta((tot)) values vary between 198 to 538 x 10(-30) esu for the reported push-pull chromophores in this study. The highest predicted beta((tot)) value in this study is 537.842 x 10(-30) esu, 8150 times larger than the predicted beta((tot)) value of benchmark NLO material urea, suggests possible utilization of these chromophores in NLO devices. The charge-transfer character of the synthesized structures was further confirmed by HOMO-LUMO depictions and electrostatic potential maps.

Enantioselective synthesis of 2-(2-arylcyclopropyl)glycines: Conformationally restricted homophenylalanine analogs Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Sesenoglu, O; Ulku, D; Arici, C (Wiley, 2004-01-01) Starting from simple aromatic aldehydes and acetylfuran, (E)-1-(furan-2-yl)-3-arylprop-2-en-1-ones (2) were synthesized in high yields. Cyclopropanation of the C=C bond with trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (Me3SO+I-) furnished (furan-2-yl)(2-arylcyclopropyl)methanones 3 in 90-97% yields. Selective conversion of cyclopropyl ketones to their (E)- and (Z)-oxime ethers 5 and oxazaborolidine-catalyzed stercoselective reduction of the C-N bond followed by separation of the formed diastereoisomers, furnished (2-arylcy...
Facile synthesis of novel 7-aminofuro- and 7-aminothieno[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one and 4-aminophthalazin-1(2H)-ones Koza, Gani; Keskin, Selbi; Ozer, Merve Sinem; Cengiz, Betul; ŞAHİN, Ertan; Balcı, Metin (2013-01-07) We hereby report the synthesis of a novel class of compounds, 7-aminofuro- and 7-aminothieno[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one and 4-aminophthalazin-1(2H)-ones starting from methyl 2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)furan- and thiophene-3-carboxylate and methyl 2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)benzoate. The ester functionalities connected directly to the aromatic ring were regiospecifically converted to the acid, whereas methylene groups were oxidized to the corresponding ketoesters. Reaction of the ketoesters with hydrazine provided ...
Viscoelastic properties of reactive and non-reactive styrene-maleic anhydride olefinic blends Bayram, G; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Xanthos, M (2000-05-11) Reactive blends of styrene-maleic anhydride (SMAH) with polyethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (PE-F) and non-reactive blends of SMAH with polyethylene/methyl acrylate (PE-NF) were produced and characterized in terms of morphology and viscoelastic properties in order to understand the reaction characteristics between anhydride/epoxy functional groups.
