Abstract

[reaction: see text] Two series of pi-conjugated bipolar compounds, namely, 9-phenyl-10-anthronitriles (PAN series) and 9-phenylethynyl-10-anthronitriles (PEAN series), having inherent redox centers have been synthesized and their electronic absorption, fluorescence emission, and electrochemical behavior have been studied. Electrochemiluminescence of these molecules bearing weak, strong, and spin-polarized donors is also studied. The observed electronic properties are explained with the help of results obtained from density functional theory (DFT- B3LYP/6-31G) calculations. The structure-property relationships of all the molecules are discussed.
