Abstract:
Two novel naphthalimide derivatives PTZNI-Cz and PTZNI-TPA were successfully designed and synthesized, in which phenothiazine, triphenylamine and carbazole were used as electron donors and naphthalimide was used as the electron acceptor. Their photophysical, electrochemical, and thermal properties were investigated. These derivatives showed remarkable aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect. Furthermore, the maximum emission peaks of PTZNI-Cz and PTZNI-TPA in the thin film state are at 610 nm and 623 nm respectively, which is typical of red fluorescent materials.

Strong bases like NaOH or KOH deprotonate the phthalimide to form the corresponding anion, which acts as a nucleophile. Further, the anion attacks an...
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
