| Resumo: | In this study, triphenylpyridine derivatives were synthetized and fully characterized, including their photophysical properties. The triphenylpyridine core presented fluorescence in solution with quantum yields that surpass anthracene’s, with compound [4-(2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridin-4-yl)-N,N-dimethylaniline] being the brightest. This study allowed to identify the importance of 2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenol moiety for achieving fluorescence in solid state and not in solution. Complexation of boron was attempted for 2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenol derivatives with boron trifluoride, however the complex was not stable in solution. Five derivatives were analysed by single crystal x-ray diffraction and their structural features were indicative of the possibility of solid-state emission with very weak intermolecular and intramolecular interactions. All derivatives presented solid-state fluorescence with three compounds showing potential for further solid-state luminescence studies. |
