Abstract

Two novel triethylene-glycol dicoumarin-3-carboxylates were synthesized and characterized by element analysis, (1)H NMR, FT-IR and UV-vis absorption spectra. The photoluminescent behaviors of triethylene-glycol dibenzo[5,6]coumarin-3-carboxylate doped in PMMA were discussed. These compounds exhibit strong blue emission under ultraviolet light excitation. Compared to coumarin-3-triethylene glycol diester, the absorption and emission spectra of benzo[5,6]coumarin-3-triethylene glycol diester was bathochromically shifted due to the larger conjugation of benzene moiety. These derivatives have potential possible to explore organic electroluminescent materials.
