Synthesis and photophysical properties of novel fluorescent materials containing 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine and 1,8-naphthalimide units using Suzuki reaction

Abstract

A series of novel 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine derivatives containing 1,8-naphthalimide groups have been prepared in good yields using Suzuki couplings reactions. The relationship of the photoluminescence property of the compounds was systematically investigated via a thermogravimetric analyzer, UV-vis, fluorescence and electrochemical analyzer.
