The research aims to design, synthesize, and characterize a new acceptor-donor-acceptor (AD-A) semiconductor, BDY-Ph-2T-Ph-BDY, which features a central phenyl-bithiophene-phenyl p-donor and BODIPY p-acceptor end-units. The purpose is to develop a solution-processable n-channel semiconductor with enhanced fluorescence emission for next-generation optoelectronics. The study concludes that BDY-Ph-2T-Ph-BDY exhibits an optical band gap of 2.32 eV, highly stabilized HOMO/LUMO energies (-5.74 eV/-3.42 eV), and a D-A dihedral angle of ~66°. It shows good fluorescence efficiency (FF = 0.30) and n-channel OFET transport characteristics (μe = 0.005 cm2/V·s; Ion/Ioff = 104-105), representing a significant improvement in fluorescence quantum yield compared to previous BODIPY semiconductors. This work demonstrates the potential of BDY-Ph-2T-Ph-BDY for high-performance optoelectronic applications. 4-Bromobenzaldehyde is used as a starting material to introduce the phenyl group into the BODIPY structure. N-Ethylpyrrole acts as a building block for the BODIPY core. P-Chloranil (2,3,5,6-Tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone) is used as an oxidizing agent in the synthesis process.

The research focuses on the synthesis and antimicrobial activity of a novel class of mono and bis heterocycles, including styryl, pyrrolyl, and pyrazolyl sulfonylmethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl/thiadiazolyl amines. The study utilizes Z-styrylsulfonylacetic acid as a synthetic intermediate and employs various synthetic methodologies to prepare these compounds. The antimicrobial activity of these synthesized compounds was then evaluated against different bacterial and fungal strains. The reactants used in the synthesis encompass semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide, POCl3, tosylmethyl isocyanide, sodium hydride, diazomethane, and chloranil, among others. The synthesized compounds were characterized using techniques like infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial activity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method and broth dilution test to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC). The findings revealed that mono heterocyclic compounds, particularly 5-(4-chlorostyrylsulfonylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (5c), exhibited superior antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria and fungi compared to the bis heterocyclic systems.

The research focuses on the development of an efficient, environmentally friendly method for synthesizing 1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives, which are important heterocyclic compounds with a range of biological activities and therapeutic applications. The study introduces a metal- and catalyst-free protocol that utilizes the combination of water and ultrasound technique to achieve the dimerization of primary thioamide derivatives with chloranil, leading to the formation of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles. The optimized reaction conditions resulted in excellent yields within a short reaction time, demonstrating a significant improvement over traditional methods. The chemicals used in the process include primary thioamide derivatives, chloranil as the oxidizing agent, and water as the solvent, with other solvents like MeCN, THF, EtOH, 1,4-dioxane, CHCl3, CH2Cl2, DCE, and DMSO also tested for comparison. The study concludes that the ultrasound-initiated green synthesis in water is a valuable addition to existing methods for synthesizing substituted 3,5-diaryl-1,2,4-thiadiazoles, offering a rapid and efficient approach.
