N-(2,4-dinitrobenzylidene)-4-methoxyaniline (1), 4-(N,N-dimethylamine)-N-(2,4-dinitrobenzylidene) aniline (2), 2,4-dinitro-4′-methoxystilbene (3), and 2,4-dinitro-4′-(dimethylamino)stilbene (4) were synthesized and studied in dimethyl sulfoxide in a novel strategy as anionic chromogenic chemosensors. The color of the solutions of these compounds changed only in the presence of cyanide. The kinetic studies were performed with compounds 1-3 in an excess of cyanide. Higher second-order rate constant values were obtained for the compounds containing a methoxy group in relation to the compounds with a dimethylamino substituent, since the methoxy group donates electronic density to the 2,4-dinitrophenyl electron-accepting group less easily compared with the dimethylamino group. Stilbenes generally have greater structural rigidity than imines, facilitating the action of the substituents through the mesomeric effect. The data obtained indicate that the anion acts as a nucleophile, being responsible for C=N bond breaking. The C=C bridge is not broken in the stilbene dyes, but cyanide performs a nucleophilic attack on the 2,4-dinitrophenyl group.
Y-shape structured azo dyes with self-transforming feature to zwitterionic form as sensitizer for DSSC and DFT investigation of their photophysical and charge transfer properties

Two novel azo dyes with D-π-A-π-D structures were designed and synthesized to investigate the relationship between molecular structure and sensitizing performance on applying for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) in comparison with their linear counterparts. Introducing hydroxyl auxiliary groups and arranging π-conjugation length as two parallel and series structural architectures, Y-shape and linear, led to red shift in absorption wavelength and increase in absorption intensity for the Y-shape pattern providing an efficient charge transfer pathway and improved Jsc and η of the DSSCs. Emerging a zwitterionic form, azonium structure, of the sensitizer in parallel configuration for the dyes 1a.p and 1b.p, enhanced light absorption domain and changed anchoring fashion could engendering improved electronic overlapping. The easily–synthesized dyes were evaluated for photophysical and electrochemical properties and turned out that the parallel-decorated dyes displayed better results than the series types as photosensitizers for DSSCs. ATR and Raman spectra clearly showed the adsorption of these dyes on the TiO2 surface. Operational tests of DSSCs, coated by titled azo dyes, illustrated that decorating π-conjugation pattern as parallel structure as well as accessorizing the donor unit with hydroxyl groups improved the photovoltaic performance. Optimized band gap due to participating the azonium structure and restricted electron recombination as well as rectified dye regeneration were proposed as main elements in enhancing performance parameters. A higher solar conversion efficiency was recorded for DSSCs based on the Y-shape dyes compared to other meta azo dye-based cells that were previously reported. Computational calculations were used to corroborate the opto-electrochemical traits of the dyes with a special concern on the influence of structural pattern on photovoltaic features.

A transition metal-free, environment-friendly and practical protocol was developed either for the reduction of nitroarenes or for the deoxygenation of N-oxide containing heteroarenes. The reaction proceeded with the use of a non-toxic and cheap feedstock as elemental sulfur in aqueous methanol under relatively mild conditions. Green chemistry credentials were widely favorable compared to traditional and industrial protocols with good E-factors and a low production of waste. The strategy allowed the efficient reduction of a large variety of substituted-nitroarenes including various o-nitroanilines as well as selective reduction of various poly-nitroarenes in excellent yields with a broad substrate scope. The protocol was successfully extended to the deoxygenation of some N-oxide containing heteroarenes, like benzofuroxans, phenazine N,N'-dioxides, pyridine N-oxides, 2H-indazole N1-oxides, quinoxaline N1,N4-dioxides and benzo[d]imidazole N1,N3-dioxides. A gram-scale example for the synthesis of luminol, in green conditions, was reported. A solid mechanism of reaction was proposed from experimental evidences.
