ABSTRACT
Fused π-conjugated imidazolium chlorides having hydrogen (1-Cl), octyloxy (2-Cl), N,N-dibutylamino (3-Cl), trifluoromethyl (4-Cl), and cyano (5-Cl) groups substituted on the benzene ring at the 2-position of imidazole were prepared. Counteranion exchanges from chloride to bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidate (2-TFSI) and tetrafluoroborate (2-BF4) were performed. The optical properties of these compounds (absorption and emission wavelengths, fluorescence quantum yield, and solvatochromism) were influenced by both the substituent and anion character, which was investigated by theoretical calculations using the density functional theory (DFT) and symmetry-adapted cluster-configuration interaction (SAC-CI) methods. Fused π-conjugated benzimidazolium chlorides having N,N-dibutylamino (6-Cl) and cyano (7-Cl) groups were also prepared to observe the different solvatochromic shifts.
