Synthesis of Novel 1,3,5-tri(N-butyl-1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimidemethyl)benzene: Photo-induced Energy Transfer

Schafer, Ryan Foster

Abstract Details

2012, Master of Science, University of Akron, Chemistry.
Naphthalene diimide (NDI) is an electron and energy acceptor similar to the larger analog, perylene diimide (PDI). NDI and PDI are used in a wide range of applications including organic photovoltaics and artificial light harvesting systems. This thesis discusses the preparation of a mesitylene core substituted at the 1, 3, and 5 positions with NDI groups. The goal of this research was to observe through-space electronic energy transfer between the NDI units using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy.
