Synthesis, structure, and spectral fluorescence properties of 1,4-di(5-phenyl-2-oxazolyl)benzene heteroanalogs

Novel organic luminophors belonging to the oxazole and oxadiazole classes of compounds have been synthesized, namely, thiophene and furan analogs of 1,4-di(5-phenyl-2-oxazolyl)benzene. The optical properties of these compunds have been studied both theoretically and experimentally. Their IR spectra have been measured and their UV absorption, fluorescence, and excitation spectra have been analyzed. Details of their electronic structure and their principal spectral fluorescence parameters have been calculated using the PPP method. Possible methods or pathways for improving the spectral fluorescence parameters of organic luminophors in these classes of compounds in the visible region of the spectrum have also been analyzed.
