Abstract
A new method for the synthesis of the monomethine group using nitro as a leaving group in an SN-Ar reaction is described. A series of novel merocyanine dyes has been synthesised and their photophysical properties have been elucidated. The longest wavelength absorption occurs in the range 519–619 nm and the molar absorptivities vary with the substituents and are in the range 1000–47700 L mol–1 cm–1. The dyes show high chemical and photostability. One example from the series has the ability to distinguish methanol from ethanol. The introduction of a quinoid fragment into the structure leads to a pronounced intramolecular charge transfer and hence a noticeable positive solvatochromism. The structures and electronic properties of the compounds have been studied by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT.
