A small series of amino oligo-phenylenevinylenes (OPVs) were successfully synthesized from their nitro-analogs in a rapid, simple, and highly efficient fashion employing a sodium sulfide/pyridine system as a reducing agent. In this research, classic and sustainable reduction methodologies including NH4HCO2/Zn and a choline chloride/tin (II) chloride deep eutectic solvent (DES) were also evaluated, showing degradation products, incomplete reactivity, and product isolation difficulties in all cases. The straightforward Na2S/pyridine synthetic protocol proved to maintain the E-E stereochemistry of the OPV backbone that has been previously assembled by the Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling reaction. Also, the optoelectronic properties were determined and discussed, considering the amino group insertion in these conjugated systems as a contribution for future construction of novel materials with applications in supramolecular electronics, light harvesting, and photocatalysis.

In order to study the effect of the molecular structure on the optical properties of totally trans-trans phenylenevinylene oligomers (OPVs), sixteen 1,4-distyrylbenzene derivatives (1a-i and 2a-g) functionalized with different electron-donating (ED) and electron-withdrawing (EW) groups were synthesized by the Mizoroki-Heck cross coupling reaction in moderate to good yields (40–95%). The implemented methodology, with a small modification previously reported by our group, allows obtaining the desired vinyl configuration as well as one novel OPV compound (1h). After structural characterization by several techniques (e.g. FTIR, 1H, 13C and Solid-State NMR), particular emphasis was placed upon the investigation of their optical properties by UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. The results showed that, with only one exception, the ED and EW groups at the ends of OPV systems lead to a bathochromic shift. This effect is intensified with the introduction of methoxy groups on the central ring. Consistent with these, the HOMO-LUMO gaps (ΔE) decreases as the strength of ED and EW substituents increases. The ED and EW substituents also lead to a decrease in the Φf values. This contribution in the area of organic electronics can be used as a reference to better select the most appropriate technological application for each OPV and this can be extrapolated to their respective structurally analogous segmented polymer.

Two series of OPVs (oligo(phenylenevinylene)), that is, ((1E,1′E)-(2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene)bis(ethene-2,1-diyl))dibenzene derivatives and 4-((E)-4-((E)-styryl)styryl)pyridine derivatives with different functional groups of varying electronic properties have been synthesized by one-pot Wittig-Heck methodology. The synthesized derivatives have been studied for their optical properties. Amongst them the ((1E,1′E)-(2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene)bis(ethene-2,1-diyl))dibenzene derivatives with appropriate changes in the end group showed a significant impact on the UV absorption and emission spectra. Particularly NO2-OPV showed distinct solvatochromism in the wavelength range of 218 nm in different solvents. Whereas 4-((E)-4-((E)-styryl)styryl)pyridine derivatives showed clear acidochromism which can be detected visually as well as spectroscopically.
