Photophysical and complexation properties of benzenesulfonamide derivatives with different donor and acceptor

Abstract:
Pyrrolobenzosulfonamide, indolobenzosulfonamide and carbazolobenzosulfonamide derivatives with different acceptor groups were synthesized and their photophysical properties were compared. The electron donor linking sites are found to influence the emission characteristics of these compounds while acceptor linking sites have no noticeable effects on the spectral properties. P2-A5 which is a C-C linked pyrrole derivative exhibited different spectral properties from the C-N linked pyrrole derivatives. The complexation properties of the molecules were also investigated employing Na (I), Ca (II), Li (I), Mg (II), Zn (II) and Cu (II) ions.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
