Descripción
Sumario:This paper describes the investigations on the solvatochromic effect and the photophysical properties of quinoline derivatives, compounds with potential applicability in optoelectronic devices. Using an experimental and theoretical approach, the effect of the solvent and the insertion of the phenyl, nitro, amino and dimethylamino group in the quinoline backbone were investigated. The use of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations provided the bases for the understanding of the energetic transitions observed in the absorption and fluorescence experiments. In general, it was observed a change in the wavelength of maximum absorption and fluorescence quantum yield of the studied compounds caused by the substituents in the quinoline core. This effect was correlated with the solvent dielectric constants.
