Abstract

A series of bis (arylidene) cycloalkanone compounds based on cyclobutanone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and cycloheptanone, C4–C7, respectively, with a D-π-A-π- D structure containing the same donor and acceptor but different alicyclic rings was prepared. The effects of alicyclic ring size on the photophysical, photochemical and electrochemical properties of these compounds were investigated systematically. We ...
