Abstract

A series of pyridinium-betaine-like molecules has been reported; one family of molecules is built with a benzimidazole core and a second one with a pyrimidine moiety. The title compounds were prepared by mixing 2-chlorobenzimidazole or 2-bromopyrimidine with the corresponding pyridines (pyridine, 4-tert-butylpyridine, 4-hydroxypyridine, potassium pyridine-4-trifluoroborate, 4-dimethylaminopyridine) in acetonitrile or DMSO at high temperatures. The novel compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The UV–Vis and fluorescence features are reported as well. Preliminary photoluminescence results showed broadband emissions as common feature ascribed to the compounds containing benzimidazole ring. Some of the spectra nearly span over the whole visible spectral range, which pave the way to real opportunities to design single-component panchromatic emitters.
