Summary
The UV/Vis spectroscopic behaviour of six new hydroxy azocoumarin compounds in solution has been investigated. The observed bands are assigned to electronic transitions. Azocoumarin compounds exist mainly in the azo form, whereas 6-(2-hydroxy-6-aminonaphthyl-1-azo)-coumarin exhibits an azo-hydrazone tautomeric equilibrium. The solvatochromic behaviour of the azo compounds is investigated by studying their spectra in pure and mixed organic solvents of different characteristics. The longer wavelength band of the azocoumarins inDMF solution is assigned to an intermolecular CT transition.
Zusammenfassung
Das UV/Vis-spektroskopische Verhalten von sechs neuen Hydroxyazocumarinen in Lösung wurde untersucht. Die beobachteten Banden werden elektronischen Übergängen zugeordnet. Azocumarine liegen hauptsächlich in der Azoform vor, während 6-(2-Hydroxy-6-aminonaphthyl-1-azo)-cumarin eine Azo-Hydrazon-Tautomerie zeigt. Das solvatochrome Verhalten der Azoverbindungen wird durch Messung ihrer Spektren in reinen und gemischten organischen Lösungsmitteln mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften studiert. Die bei inDMF gelösten Azocumarinen auftretende langwellige Bande wird einem intermolekularen CT-Übergang zugeordnet.
