Design and synthesis of dichromeno[2,3-b;3′,2′-e]pyridine-12,14-dione to evaluate its optical properties

Abstract

An unambiguous synthesis of dichromeno[2,3-b;3′,2′-e]pyridine-12,14-diones has been developed under mild conditions and their optical properties have been evaluated by studying UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements, DFT calculations and thermogravimetric analysis.
