Fifteen push-pull dyes based on tetracyclic polyaromatic pyrene were synthesized and their optical properties were investigated in twenty-two solvents with different polarities. Surprisingly, contrary to conventional D-pi-A push-pull dyes, negative solvatochromism was observed in many of the dyes. Photoluminescence and thermal properties were also examined, and theoretical calculations were conducted to support the experimental findings.
Fifteen push-pull dyes comprising the tetracyclic polyaromatic pyrene have been designed and synthesized. The optical properties of the fifteen dyes have been examined in twenty-two solvents of different polarities. Surprisingly, contrarily to what is classically observed for push-pull dyes of D-pi-A structures, a negative solvatochromism could be found for numerous dyes. The photoluminescence and thermal properties of the dyes were also examined. Theoretical calculations were carried out to support the experimental results.
