2,2’:6’,2’’-Terpyridine derivative with tetrazole motif and its analogues with 2-pyrazinyl or 2-thiazolyl substituents – Experimental and theoretical investigations

Abstract

The synthesis of 4’-[4-(2-decyl-1,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]-2,2’:6’,2’’-terpyridine and its analogues which contain substituted at the central pyridine ring (positions 2 and 6) 2-pyrazinyl or 2-thiazolyl groups is reported. Photophysical, optical studies and theoretical calculations analysis with particular emphasis on the difference caused by the change of substituents is presented.
