New Heterocycles: Preparation, Characterization, Photophysical Studies

本工作的重点是制备苯并吡喃酮类、苯并噻吩吡喃酮类、苯并喹啉类和苯并吖啶类具有分子内质子在电子激发态转移潜力的化合物。许多提出的目标分子具有作为辐射闪烁体、发光太阳能聚光器和激光染料的潜力。参与该项目的学生将有进行有机合成的经验，并对所制备的许多化合物进行稳态和时间分辨光谱研究。通过本科院校研究（RUI）奖，合成有机项目正在支持博士的研究。查尔斯顿学院化学系的Charles F. Beam和Shannon S. Martinez。工作将集中在杂环化合物的制备和光物理研究上，目的是了解分子内质子在电子激发态下的转移。这项研究将有助于加强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
