Abstract

In this paper, we report the novel synthesis of three different heterocycles, namely 2-arylselenopheno[2,3-b]quinoxaline, 3-(aryl/alkylselanyl)-2-arylselenopheno[2,3-b]quinoxaline and 6-phenyl-7-(arylselanyl)selenopheno[2,3-b]pyrazine derivatives, from the corresponding 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline and 2,3-dichloropyrazine derivatives. Furthermore, photophysical properties were investigated to study the effect of heteroatoms on UV-absorbance and fluorescence properties.
