Category: ethers-buliding-blocksOn March 31, 2020, Albano, Gianluigi; Colli, Tony; Nucci, Luigi; Charaf, Rima; Biver, Tarita; Pucci, Andrea; Aronica, Laura Antonella published an article in Dyes and Pigments. The article was 《Synthesis of new bis[1-(thiophenyl)propynones] as potential organic dyes for colorless luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs)》. The article mentions the following:
New luminophores having different aryl nuclei and propynones moieties have been obtained via Sonogashira reactions. Their optical properties were evaluated and indicated that carbonyl groups are responsible for significant bathochromic effects and high Stokes shifts. The insertion of -OMe groups on the central benzene unit gives to the fluorophore high optical efficiency (7.7%) when homogeneously dispersed in a poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) (PCMA) film and connected to a PV cell. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(cas: 74029-40-6Category: ethers-buliding-blocks)
1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(cas: 74029-40-6) belongs to ethers.Ethers do have nonbonding electron pairs on their oxygen atoms, and they can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules (alcohols, amines, etc.) that have O―H or N―H bonds. Category: ethers-buliding-blocks The ability to form hydrogen bonds with other compounds makes ethers particularly good solvents for a wide variety of organic compounds and a surprisingly large number of inorganic compounds.
