Synthesis of New Thiacalix[4]arene Based Azo Dyes and Analysis of Absorption Spectrums

Abstract

In this study, firstly a novel thiacalix[4]arene functionalized from the phenolic oxygen side was synthesized. Then a series of dyes were synthesized by linking the heterocyclic groups to the novel thiacalix[4]aren through a diazo reaction. The azo dyes were characterized by UV-vis, FT-IR and ¹H-NMR spectroscopic techniques. Effect of solvent and effect of acid-base upon the absorption spectra of the azo dyes were investigated.

Keywords
