S. Tokita et al., MOLECULAR DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL ANALOGS OF BENZODIXANTHENE AND ANTHRADICHROMENE, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 297, 1997, pp. 269-276
Molecular design of analogues of benzo[1,2,3-kl:4,5,6-k'l']dixanthene
and anthra[1,9-bc:4,10-b'c']dichromene containing sulfur or nitrogen i
nstead of oxygen was performed. The calculated absorption maxima of co
mpounds containing oxygen or sulfur appeared in the similar region, wh
ile, those of their analogues containing nitrogen shifted to longer wa
velengths. We have synthesized several new heterocyclic analogues and
compared the observed wavelengths with the calculated ones.
