Abstract:
This study investigates the tuning of the UV-Vis/NIR absorption bands of pyrazine-based A-D-A switches for designing efficient UV retardancy over TiO2 surfaces. The electronic properties and optical characteristics of seven dyes (DP1-DP7) were analyzed using computational methods. The results indicate that the dyes possessed distinct UV-Vis/NIR absorption properties. Their absorption wavelengths ranged from 389 to 477 nm, with corresponding energies ranging from 2.59 to 3.19 eV. The major contributions to the absorption were found to be the HOMO-LUMO transitions, varying from 86 to 96%. The dyes exhibited different donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups, influencing their electronic properties and absorption characteristics. The tunable electronic and optical properties of these dyes make them promising candidates for applications requiring UV protection for TiO2-based materials. The results contribute to understand the structure-property relationships in the design of UV-Vis/NIR absorbers and provide a foundation for further experimental investigations in the field of UV retardancy.
