Abstract

Novel Donor (D)-π-Acceptor (A) NLOphoric triphenylamine-imidazole based dye 9 was designed, synthesized, and confirmed by Mass, 13C NMR, and 1H NMR analysis. Photophysical properties of 9 were studied in solvents of different polarities and compared with analogues compounds 7 and 8. Phenonthroline acceptor based dye 9 shows highly bathochromic shifted absorption and emission compared to dyes 7 and 8. Positive solvatochromism was noticed in 7, 8, and 9 which was supported by the linear (i.e. Lippert-Mataga and Mac-Rae polarity functions) and multi-linear (i.e. Kamlet-Taft and Catalan parameters) analysis. Moreover, solvent polarizability (dSP) and solvent dipolarity (CSdP) are the major factors responsible for red shift in absorption as well as in emission spectra. Charge transfer descriptors as well as the polarity graphs are in good relation with Generalized Mulliken-Hush (GMH) parameters. NLO properties of 7, 8, and 9 were studied by using solvatochromic and computational methods. The static first hyperpolarizability (β0) and relevant microscopic parameters (μ,α0,α,β,γ) were determined using DFT with B3LYP, BHHLYP, and CAM-B3LYP functionals. Third-order NLO properties of nitrogen containing phenanthroline based compound 9 wer...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
