Spectral-luminescent properties of oxazole derivatives with annelated aromatic and heterocyclic rings in neutral and acid media

Abstract

An investigation was carried out of the spectral-luminescent and acid-base properties at the stage of formation of the hydrogen bond and during the protonation of compounds with annelated aromatic and heterocyclic rings, obtained by introduction of bridging groups -CH=CH- (I), -CH=N- (II) and -CO-N(CH₃)-(III) in the 4- and 2′-positions of the molecules of 4″-substituted derivatives of 2,5-diphenyloxazole. The nature of the reaction center was estabished, and an analysis was carried out of its sensitivity to the electronic influence of the substituents, and the reasons for the observed differences in the properties of compounds of various reaction series are discussed. A comparative analysis of the fluorescent properties of the neutral and protonated forms of the oxazole derivatives studied was made and the conclusion that the generation is possible of laser emission by the protonated forms of compounds of the reaction series (I) was confirmed.
