Azulene, as an isomer of naphthalene, has received increasing interest due to its unique
chemical structure and unusual photophysical properties, including a large dipole moment …

Small molecule-based chromogenic and fluorogenic probes play an indispensable role in
many sensing applications. Ideal optical chemosensors should provide selectivity and …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided photothermal therapy (PTT) can realize real-time
diagnosis and in situ treatment of cancer at the same time. Absorption in the near-infrared …

Modern functional materials consist of large molecular building blocks with significant
chemical complexity which limits spectroscopic property prediction with accurate first …

We describe the synthesis and properties of azulene‐substituted 1, 1, 4, 4‐
tetracyanobutadienes (AzTCBDs) and heteroazulenyl TCBDs. TCBD derivatives were …

We report the synthesis of five new azulene containing dyes, having D-π-A type structures.
These dyes are synthesised using a sulfonium salt cross-coupling reaction. The dyes have …

Starting with the reaction of 2 H-cyclohepta [b] furan-2-ones with an enamine, which was
prepared from 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone and pyrrolidine, benz [a] azulenes having both …

Conjugated chromophores possessing π‐twisted functionality such as tetracyanobutadiene
(TCBD) have emerged as promising active layer materials for organic photovoltaics (OPVs) …

The reaction of several azulenylalkynes having an aryl substituent with elemental sulfur
afforded the corresponding azuleno [2, 1-b] thiophenes in moderate to good yields …

Pyrene derivatives play a prominent role in organic electronic devices, including field effect
transistors, light emitting diodes, and solar cells. The flexibility in the desired properties has …
