Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies of N,N'-dialkyl Derivatives of Antisymmetrical 2H,5H-Dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-diones.

Abstract

2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione derivatives (DPP) are chemically stable, fluorescent molecules, known as High Performance Pigments. Preparation of the soluble derivatives of DPPs provides great advantage in designing the optic sensor for new and existing applications and overcoming aggregation problems in solid matrices. For this purpose, the synthesis of antisymmetric DPPs and the formation of new organic dyes through N,N'-dialkylation and their spectroscopic studies have been carried out both in solutions and in solid phase.
