Abstract

A novel symmetrical 2,10-bis-styryl-1-benzopyrylium dye was synthesized through two steps: In the first reaction an aldol condensation between 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxymethylstyrylketone gave 5,7,3′,4′-tetrahydroxy-2-styryl-1-benzopyrylium; and in the second step this latter reacted with the same ketone by a cycloaddition reaction yielding the symmetrical 2,10-bis(3,4-dihydroxystyryl)-pyrano-7-hydroxy-1-benzopyrylium. The dye was fully characterized by LC-DAD/ESI-MS and NMR 1D and 2D techniques, and a formation pathway was proposed. The novel dye obtained revealed extended π-conjugation (λ_max 556 nm) and catechol groups in its composition, which is very important for applications as a photosensitizer for dye-sensitive solar cells (DSSCs).

18 HPLC-DAD HPLC analyses were performed on a Merck-Hitachi L-7100 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) apparatus with a 150 × 4.6 mm i.d. reversed-phase ODS C18 column (Merck, Darmstadt) at 25 °C; detection was carried out using a L-7450A diode array detector (DAD). The eluents were A: H₂O/HCOOH (9:1) and B: MeCN. The gradient consisted of 0–35 % B for 50 min at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The column was washed with 100% B during 10 min and then stabilized with the initial conditions during another 10 min.
19 LC-DAD/ESI-MS LC-DAD/ESI/MS analyses were performed on a Finnigan Surveyor series liquid chromatograph equipped with Finnigan LCQ (Finnigan Corp., San Jose, Calif., USA) mass detector and an API source using an ESI interface. The samples were analyzed on a reversed-phase column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm, C18) at 25 °C using the same eluents, gradients, and flow rates referred for HPLC analysis. The capillary voltage was 4 V and the capillary temperature 275 °C. Spectra were recorded in positive and negative ion modes between m/z 120 and 1500. The mass spectrometer was programmed to do a series of three scans: a full mass (MS), a zoom scan of the most intense ion in the first scan (MS²), and a MS-MS of the most intense ion using relative collision energy of 30 and 60 (MS³).
20 H NMR (600.13 MHz) and ¹³C NMR (125.77 MHz) spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6/TFA (9:1) on a Bruker Avance 600 MHz NMR spectrometer at 303 K and with TMS as an internal standard (chemical shifts (δ) in ppm, coupling constants (J) in Hz). Multiplicities are recorded as singlets (s), doublets (d), and multiplets (m). ¹H chemical shifts were assigned using 2D NMR (COSY, NOESY) experiment while ¹³C resonances were assigned using 2D NMR techniques (gHMBC and gHSQC). The delay for the long-range C/H coupling constant was optimized to 7 Hz.
