A new series of monosubstituted styryl- and bistyryl-2,2′-bipyridine luminophores (compounds 16-23) have been synthesized via Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction involving a monophosphonate and donor aromatic aldehydes. In the title chromophores, the amino donors are varied between acyclic and cyclic while the alkoxy donors are varied in terms of their number and position. The absorption maxima of these chromophores shift predominantly due to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) between different donor and acceptor moieties. The title donor-acceptor molecules exhibit intense fluorescence in solution at room temperature, and their emissive behavior has been found to be highly sensitive to solvent polarity. The fluorescence spectra and quantum yields of all the chromophores were recorded in four different solvent media, and the chromophores 16, 17, 19, and 21 exhibit fluorescence in the solid state too. The influence of the nature and position of the donor functionalities in the conjugated backbone of the bipyridine moiety on the electronic absorption properties of the title chromophores (16-23) has been demonstrated, which has further been corroborated by DFT and TD-DFT computation both in gas phase and in solution phase. The crystal structure of compound 18 has been described as a representative member of the family (16-23).

A series of 4,4′-π-conjugated-2,2′-bipyridine chromophores (MS 1-8) were synthesized, and their photophysical and thermal properties were investigated. The title "push-pull' chromophores", except MS 1, were integrated with both alkoxy and alkylamino donor functionalities that differ in their donation capabilities. The oligophenylenevinylene (OPV) chromophores MS 4-8 are associated with a π-extended backbone in which the position and the number of alkoxy donors were systematically varied. All of the studied systems possess a D-π-A-A-π-D dyad archetype in which the A-A is the central 2,2′-bipyridine acceptor core that is electronically attached with the donor termini through π-linkers. The fluorescence quantum yields of the synthesized chromophores are found to be sensitive to the molecular archetype and the solvent medium. Out of the eight fluorescent compounds reported in this article, the compound MS 5 exhibits fluorescence in the solid state also. The modulating effect of the nature, position, and number of donor functionalities on the optical properties of these classes of compounds has further been comprehended on the basis of DFT and TD-DFT computation in a solvent reaction field.
