title: Synthesis of novel carbazole based styryl: rational approach for photophysical properties and TD-DFT.
abstract: The synthesis and solvatochromic behavior of four novel carbazole based fluorescent styryl dyes were explained. In chlorinated solvents such as DCM and chloroform, these dyes show bathochromic shift in their absorption as well as emission. The styryl dyes 6b and 6c show solid state yellow fluorescence. DFT and TD-DFT computations were performed to study structural, molecular, electronic and photophysical properties of these dyes. The computed absorption and emission wavelength values are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. The photophysical properties of these 1-styryl carbazole dyes are also compared with the recently reported 3-styrl carbazole dyes. The unique behavior of dye 6d is well explained by its optimized geometry found in the excited state. Ratio of ground to excited state dipole moment of the synthesized novel styryl compounds were calculated by Bakhshiev and Bilot-Kawski correlations.
