New Heterocycles: Preparation, Characterization, Photophysical Studies

这项工作的重点是制备苯并吡喃酮、苯并硫代吡喃酮、苯并喹啉和苯并吖啶类化合物，这些化合物在电子激发态具有分子内质子转移的潜力。许多被提议的目标分子具有作为辐射闪烁体、发光太阳聚光体和激光染料的潜力。从事该项目的学生将拥有进行有机合成的经验，并对许多准备好的化合物进行稳态和时间分辨光谱研究。通过这项本科院校研究奖，合成有机计划支持查尔斯顿学院化学系的查尔斯·F·比姆和香农·S·马丁内斯博士的研究。工作将集中在杂环化合物的制备和光物理研究上，目的是了解分子内电子激发态的质子转移。这项研究将有助于加强对一些本科生参与者的教育

The focus of this work is the preparation of benzopyranones, benzothiopyranones, benzoquinolines and benzacridines, compounds with potential for intramolecular proton transfer in the electronic excited state. Many of the proposed target molecules have potential as radiation scintillators, luminescent solar concentrators and laser dyes. The students working on the project will have the experience of conducting organic synthesis and carrying out steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic studies on many of the compounds prepared. With this Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Drs. Charles F. Beam and Shannon S. Martinez of the Department of Chemistry at the College of Charleston. Work will focus on the preparation and photophysical study of heterocyclic compounds with the goal of understanding intramolecular proton transfer in the electronic excited state. The research will serve to enhance the education of a number of undergraduate participants
