Abstract

Abstract A series of pyrene sensitizers (PC, PN, PMN, PR) with various electron withdrawing anchoring groups have been synthesized to understand their consequence on the optoelectronic properties. All the sensitizers have been characterized by NMR, mass spectroscopic and IR techniques. Absorption measurements revealed that charge transfer transition was enhanced by introducing electron withdrawing groups. Effect of solvents on ...
