Abstract

Two new 7-N,N-diphenylamino-3-benzoheterocyclic coumarin derivatives containing electron-transporting benzotriazolyl or benzoxazolyl moiety, 3-(1-benzotriazole)-7-N,N-diphenylaminocoumarin (BTDC) and 3-(2-benzoxazole)-7-N,N-diphenylaminocoumarin (BODC), were synthesized and characterized by element analysis, 1H NMR and FT-IR spectra. The UV–vis and fluorescence spectra of these coumarin derivatives were investigated. The results show that BTDC and BODC exhibit strong blue and red emissions, respectively, under ultraviolet light excitation. The relationships between the chemical structure and the fluorescence characteristics of the 7-N,N-diphenylamino-3-benzoheterocyclic coumarin derivatives are discussed. It was found that the coumarin derivative will become a high-efficiency emitting material when an amino group is attached in 7-position of the coumarin ring, and 7- strong electron donors can improve the ability of the intramolecular charge transfer of the coumarin molecules.
