10. Prezentarea stiintifica
Desi cunoscuti de multa vreme, azoderivatii raman inca in atentia chimistilor datorita surprizelor
legate de structura si de proprietatile lor fizico-chimice, dar ei a aplicatiilor lor importante in
ramuri de varf ale industriei moderne. Asa cum s-a dovedit si din lucrarile noastre anterioare,
1
studiul sintezelor si proprietatilor unor azoderivati mai speciali, cum este cazul celor care contin in
molecula azulena, este legat de ambele aspecte sus-mentionate.
Cateva proprietati fizico-chimice speciale ale acestor derivati le confera o larga gama de utilizari
incepand de la cele clasice de coloranti si terminand cu cele mai moderne, in stocarea datelor sau
transmiterea de date. In cazul derivatilor azoici au fost demonstrate si studiate proprietatile NL
ale acestora, care sunt intensificate de cresterea polaritatii sistemului si de cresterea numarului de
duble legaturi con!ugate prezente "inclusiv azo#. In acest sens, s-a costatat ca bis azo derivatii au
coeficientii

mult mai mari decat monoazo derivatii similari.

$
Calcule de mecanica
cuantica au aratat, de asemenea, ca inlocuirea sistemelor benzenice greu polarizabile cu altele
posedand un caracter aromatic mai redus si deci mai usor de deformat, precum si introducerea de
grupe polarizante, ca nitro sau amino, determina o crestere semnificativa a coeficentilor mai sus
mentionati.
%
&tilizarea de azoderivati ca produsi de stocare de informatie a fost de asemenea
investigata.
'
Acestia se pot folosi, de asemenea, drept coloranti pentru materiale si fibre plastice,
pentru producerea de cerneluri si tusuri, pentru colorarea tesaturilor si a hartiei, in industria
fotografica
(
sau in tehnologia laserilor. Azoderivatii cu simetrie scazuta au proprietati de cristale
lichide,
)
iar alte diazene sunt utilizate ca purtatori de sarcina.

10.1. Derivati fenilen-bisazoazulenici
Azulena este o hidrocarbura aromatica polarizata datorita deplasarii unui electron spre
inelul de ( atomi de carbon realizandu-se, in felul acesta, un se/tet aromatic la fiecare ciclu
azulenic, cel de cinci si de sapte atomi.
_
+
Din acest motiv azulena dobandeste un caracter nucelofil, care se manifesta la ciclul de (
atomi in pozitiile 1 si %, ceea ce ii permite cuplarea cu saruri de diazoniu reactive, spre deosebire
de hidrocarburile aromatice obisnuite, care necesita grupe donoare de electroni pentru a se implica
in reactiile de cuplare. In acelasi timp, sarurile de diazoniu provenind de la 1-aminoazulene nu
sunt stabile si nu dau reactii de cuplare decat cu substraturi foarte active cum ar fi beta-naftolul.
Din cele prezentate rezulta ca derivatii bisazoici nu pot fi preparati decat prin cuplarea
unei saruri de diazoniu cu nucleu benzenic cu molecule de azulena.
10.1.1. inteza materiilor prime
In ma!oritatea reactiilor de cuplare se pot utiliza intermediari comerciali. 0otusi, izomerii
aminoazobenzenului vor trebui preparati pentru a obtine derivatii bisazoici monoazulenici. Cel
mai usor de obtinut este izomerul para, care rezulta intr-o etapa prin diazotarea anilinei si cuplarea
sarii cu e/cesul de materie prima, urmata de transpozitia triazenei.

10.1.!. "btinerea #erivatilor monoazulenici
Acesti derivati se vor obtine printr-o reactie de cuplare normala a celor trei izomeri ai
amonoazobenzenului. Acesti izomeri trebuie sa fie suficient de reactivi avand in vedere ca grupa
azo este relativ atragatoare de electroni si activeaza sarurile de diazoniu in reactia de cuplare.

10.1.$ "btinerea #erivatilor bisazulenici
Acesti derivati pot avea doua resturi identice sau diferite de azulena. In primul caz,
teoretic, ar fi mai usoara cuplarea directa a derivatului azulenic cu fenilendiamina bis-diazotata,
dar problema care apare este aceea a stabilitatii acestor saruri si a compatibilitatii redo/ dintre ele
si azulena.
2ste cunoscut ca para-fenilendiamina se poate bis-diazota doar in medii puternic acide, iar
sarea astfel obtinuta se descompune prin diluare sau neutralizare. 3ingurele reactii de cuplare cu
pastrarea azotului descrise in literatura sunt cele cu fenolii.

2ste destul de putin probabil ca azulenele sa se cupleze in mediu de acid sulfuric
concentrat datorita instabilitatii lor in medii o/idante si acide. De aceea o modalitate mult mai
sigura este cuplarea in trepte pentru care e/ista, in principiu, doua cai de abordare a sintezei.
prima cale abordeaza prepararea pornind de la 1,% sau 1,'-acetilaminoaniline si necesita o etapa

A doua cale porneste de la p-nitroanilina in care intermediarul obtinut dupa diazotare si
cuplarea cu azulene sufera o reducere cu sulfura de sodiu transformand grupa nitro in amino.
Aceasta varianta pare, insa, mai riscanta, avand in vedere sensibilitatea derivatilor azulenici la
reactii de tip redo/ in care sunt generati radicali liberi.

In cazul izomerului meta sarea de bis-diazoniu rezultata prin bis diazotarea meta-
fenilendiaminei are un caracter o/idant mai redus si are o probabilitate de a da reactii de cuplare
cu derivati de azulena mai mare. Chiar si in acest caz, daca se doreste obtinerea de compusi azoici
avand resturi de azulene diferite, singurele accesibile raman sintezele in trepte.

3intezele devin mai complicate in cazul izomerului orto, unde pot interveni reactii
secundare cu formare de benzotriazoli. Astfel, atat orto-fenilendiamina, cat si derivatul sau
monoacilat formeaza benzotriazoli prin tratare cu nitrit de sodium si acid clorhidric, deci nu se
poate folosi calea pornind de la amina acilata.

Nici calea care porneste de la orto-nitroanilina nu da rezultatele dorite, intrucat grupa nitro
din pozitia orto nu se reduce curat la amina, ci da produsi de transpozitie. Orto-Fenilendiamina a
putut fi bis diazotata in acid sulfuric concentrat, dar sarea obtinuta este atat de instabila, incat nu
se poate cupla cu pastrarea azotului. De aceea, in aceste cazuri este necesara gasirea altor cai de
sinteza, care sa duca la produsii doriti. astfel de cale ia in considerare obtinerea ftalimidei
fenilendiaminei, diazotarea sa si cuplarea cu azulena. 1rupa protectoare ftaloil se poate indeparta
prin tratare cu hidrazina si apoi se diazotizeaza si se cupleaza cu o alta molecula de azulena. In
acest caz cuplarea va avea loc fara ciclizare, deoarece nu mai e/ista niciun proton disponibil la
azot si inelul ftalimidic este suficient de stabil pentru a nu fi e/pulzat de sarea de diazoniu formata
in pozitia orto.

10.1.% tu#iul proprietatilor fizice ale #erivatilor sintetizati
+rima parte din aceasta sectiune va debuta cu calculul geometriilor si a densitatilor
electronice ale moleculelor sintetizate prin procedeul 5+AC. 2ste important de stiut daca
izomerul orto este planar sau nu si daca geometria rezultata ii permite sa formeze complecsi cu
metale, ceea ce ar spori imporanta studiului propus de noi. De asemenea substituirea azulenelor cu
metil in pozitia 4 poate scoate molecula din plan si modifica cromoforul.
3e vor trasa spectrele 65N de proton si de carbon si se vor discuta influentele aparute prin
inlocuirea unui rest fenil cu un radical de azulena sau diferentele ce apar prin disparitia simetriei
moleculelor prin substituirea azulenelor cu alchili. Acest lucru va fi corelat cu efectele push-pull
pe care structura produsilor obtinuti le poate promova. 7aptul prezinta importanta datorita
hiperpolarizabilitatii potentiale a acestor materiale.
atentie deosebita va fi acordata studierii spectrelor electronice. se vor pune in evidenta
influenta solventului si a p8-ului asupra lungimii de unda a celei mai importante benzi din vizibil.
3olvatocromismul produsilor obtinuti va fi tratat cu toata atentia in ideea de a decela indicatii
asupra hiprepolarizabilitatii acestora. De asemenea se vor determina punctele izosbestice acolo
unde e/ista si se vor calcula constantele de bazicitate prin masurarea p8-ului la care apar absorbtii
egale intre forma acida si bazica a compusului.
10.! Derivati fenilen bis(azoazulenici) substituiti la azulena cu grupe functionale.
Azulenele sunt la limita capacitatii de cuplare cu saruri normale de diazoniu. 6eactiile de
cuplare sunt posibile la azulene nesubstituite, substituite cu alchil sau daca in pozitia 1 se afla o
grupa donoare de elecroni care activeaza azulena. Azulenele substituite in pozitia 1 cu grupe
atragatoare de electroni nu vor cupla in conditii normale. 0otusi se cunosc si e/ceptii, de e/emplu,
o grupa acetil are o mobilitate mai ridicata ca grupa fugace electrofila decat protonul si
substituirea sa nu este reversibila. De aceea ea poate fi substituita de o grupa azo in conditii dure
de reactie, la temperaturi ridicate neuzuale pentru reactiile de cuplare.

deoarece acestia nu sunt produsi comerciali.
Compusii bis azioici sintetizati vor fi caracterizati prin procedeele descrise in capitolul
anterior, studiindu-li-se spectrele de rezonanta magnetica nucleara, precum si cele electronice,

10.!. "biectivele proiectului
+roiectul pe care il propunem are in vedere cateva obiective stiintifice importante si de actualitate.
1. +rimul obiectiv il constituie elaborarea unui procedeu pentru sinteza unor compusi
apartinand unei noi clase si anume clasa derivatilor bis si poliazoici, care contin in molecula
radicali fenilen, fenil si azulenil. Introducerea nucleelor azulenice induce o polarizare si o
polarizabilitate superioare sistemelor similare care cuprind doar grupe aromatice benzenoide prin
cresterea valorii energetice a orbitalilor 85 si scaderea valorii celor L&5. 3inteza
compusilor propusi prezinta elementul de noutate prin aceea ca sarurile de diazoniu ale azulenelor
nu sunt combinatii stabile si de aceea multe din reactiile de cuplare uzuale nu pot fi realizate
utilizand aceste saruri. In aceste conditii materiile prime vor fi sarurile de diazoniu sau bis diazoniu
cu nuclee benzenice, iar componentele de cuplare vor fi azulenele. Azulenele fiind, insa, nucleofili
moderati nu pot cupla cu orice sare de diazoniu. Nici nitrozoderivatii azulenici nu pot fi avuti in
vedere pentru sinteza grupei azo prin reactii de condensare 5ills, deoarece acestia sunt stabili
numai la temperaturi scazute. De asemenea, obtinerea si cuplarea compusilor bis azoici provenind
de la fenilendiamine prezinta o serie de particularitati care trebuie avute in vedere. 3e preconizeaza
ca unele dintre sinteze sa aiba ca materii prime aniline pe care este grefata o grupa potential
generatoare de substituent amino, de e/emplu grupa nitro. Deci studiul sintezei acestor derivati
prezinta interes stiintific si nu este unul de rutina.
$. Al doilea obiectiv il constituie determinarea neechivoca a structurii produsilor obtinuti
si studiul proprietatilor fizico-chimice ale acestora. 3tructura chimica a derivatilor di si poli azoici
permite abordarea unui studiu privind influenta unghiului diedru intre nucleele aromatice asupra
con!ugarii sau eventuala generare de combinatii cu chiralitate anchimerica. In legatura cu
structura produsilor obtinuti va fi studiata si influenta acesteia asupra spectrelor 65N si a celor
electronice. Asa cum s-a amintit mai sus, este de asteptat ca acesti compusi sa prezinte o
polarizare si o plarizabilitate superioare celor monoazoici, prin posibilitatile de con!ugare mult
mai e/tinsa. 2ste foarte probabil ca printre izomerii sintetizati, unii care contin grupe azulenice
diferite sa apara combinatii care sa cristalizeze in sisteme non-centrosimetrice si deci sa posede
bune calitati NL. De asemenea, aceleasi caracteristici de structura pot conferi calitati de cristale
lichide altor materiale din aceasta clasa.
%. Al treilea obiectiv il constituie caracterizarea electrochimica a compusilor sintetizati
folosindu-se atat voltametria ciclica, cat si metoda potentiostatica. 6ezultatele obtinute prin
studiul cineticii de electrod vor fi folosite la elaborarea unor posibile mecanisme de reactie
electrochimice. 3pecificitatea sistemelor propuse consta in prezenta concomitenta a unui pol
reducator de natura azulenica si a unuia relativ o/idant de natura azoica, care pot genera noi
produsi prin reactia cu electrozii. 3e pot anticipa astfel obtinerea de dimeri, oligomeri sau polimeri
cu proprietati electrice interesante. +rodusii sintetizati pe parcursul proiectului pot fi utilizati in
scopuri electrochimice, de e/emplu, acoperiri de electrozi sau generarea unor sisteme de elecroliti
complecsi.
'. &ltimul obiectiv il consitutie faptul ca abordarea unei tematici comple/e si, relativ
complete de cercetare fundamentala de catre cercetatorii tineri, in formare, le da posibilitatea sa
devina cadre de cercetare temeinice, iar o parte din lucrari pot fi dezvoltate in vederea sustinerii
unor teze de doctorat. In plus, de mai multi ani, in colaborare cu institutiile de invatamant
superior, o serie dintre studentii din ultimul an isi efectueaza partea e/perimentala a lucrarii de
diploma la noi in laboratoare. Acelasi lucru este valabil si pentru cei care urmeaza masteratele si
este suficient sa amintim ca aproape toti doctoranzii nostrii si-au desfasurat activitatea
e/perimentala din cadrul masteratului in colectivele noastre. biectivele propuse se incadreaza
intr-o tematica larga, in care colectivele de cercetare au colaborari cu colective din 1ermania,
7ranta si 7inlanda. 6ezultatele acestor cercetari fac de!a obiectul mai multor articole publicate in
reviste de prestigiu sau comunicate la simpozioane si congrese.
10.$. Meto#ologia cercetarii


+roiectul implica atat activitati e/perimentale cat si teoretice.
(ctivitatea experimentala consta in obtinerea materiilor prime precum si a azoderivatilor
continand resturi azulenice in molecula. 2a consta in sinteza chimica a acestor compusi urmata de
cromatografierea lor pe coloane de alumina sau silicagel. +entru testarea puritatii sau evaluarea
mersului reactiilor cu produsi incolori se va folosi 8+LC-ul din dotare.
)ontrolul analitic al produsilor obtinuti se va face prin spectroscopia 65N de inalta
performanta, folosindu-se aparate de inalta rezolutie da %-- si '-- 58z. De asemenea se vor
efectua spectre de masa prin procedeul 23I, cel mai adecvat pentru molecule relativ mari si polare.
tu#iile #e *+-+iz- curbele pentru determinarea izosbesticilor compusilor nou sintetizati se vor
face pe aparate de spectroscopie electronica nou achizitionate, avand performante electronice
deosebite. De asemenea, masurarea p8-ului solutiilor se va efectua cu un p8-metru electronic nou
achizitionat.
tu#iile electroc,imice vor fi e/ecutate partial la &niversitatea +olitehnica >ucuresti si partial in
cadrul institutului. Catedra de la &niversitate poseda aparatura moderna in acest domeniu.
Partea teoretica se bazeaza pe corelari de potentiale de o/idare si reducere cu energiile orbitalilor
85 si L&5 precum si in calcule de lungimi de legatura si unghiuri diedre cu a!utorul
programului de mecanica cuantica-5+AC

NenitescuI, la 1 iulie 1999, a activat in cadrul colectivului condus de Dr. Ing. A.C. 6azus.
biectul activitatii sale in cadrul colectivului a constat, la inceput, in sinteza de materii prime
pentru obtinerea de compusi noi din clasa azulenelor. 5etoda de lucru este originala, constituind
subiectul unui articol aparut intr-o revista de interes international. +e parcursul cercetarilor, a
contribuit la elaborarea unei metode noi de sinteza pentru compusii vinil-azulenici, metoda ce se
incadreaza in asa numita Hchimie verdeI, in acord cu normele de protectia mediului inco!urator.
Intre anii 1999 si $--( a participat la realizarea mai multor cercetari finantate prin 1ranturi
acordate de Academia 6omana si de 5inisterul Cercetarii si 0ehnologiei. Din luna mai a anului
$--' a preluat sarcina de elaborare a actelor necesare contractarii diverselor programe nationale
de finantare a cercetarii fundamentale, de tipul 1ranturilor CNC3I3 si a programelor C2623. In

11. Although ?noQn for a long time, azoderivatives still remain in the attention of the chemists
due to the une/pected results lin?ed Qith their structure and their phDsico-chemical properties
important for some top industrial branches.
As it Qas proved from our previous papers,
1
the studD of the sDnthesis and properties of some
special azoderivatives hoQ is the case of those that contain an azulene in the molecule is lin?ed
both on scientific interest and industrial applications. 3ome peculiar phisDco-chemical
properties enable them to be used in manD fields starting Qith that classical ones, as dDes and
finishing Qith most up to date ones in data stoc?ing and transmission. In the case of the azo
derivatives, Qas proved that their NL properties are enhanced bD the increasing of the sDstem
polaritD and of the length of the chromophore, as a result of the increasing of the number of
con!ugated double bonds present "including azo#. 0herefore, it Qas observed that bis azo
derivatives have the

coefficients much higher than those registered for the

corresponding mono azo compounds.
$
0he Guantum mechanics have also shoQn that both the
replacement of the benzene sDstem, Qhich are hardlD polarizable Qith others that possess a
diminished aromatic character and are therefore easier to be polarized, and the introduction of
polarizing groups as nitro or amino induce a significant increase of the above mentioned
coefficients.
%
0he utilization of the azoderivatives as stoc?ing products has also been
investigated.
'
0hese can be used also as dDes for materials and plastic fibers, for in?
manufacture and stamp in?s, for the photographic industrD
(
or in the laser technologies.
Azoderivatives Qith loQ sDmmetrD have liGuid crDstal properties
)
and other diazenes are useful
as charge carriers.
*
0he pro!ect is structured in three sections,
11.1 +henDlene bisazoazulene derivatives. 0his section contains, '.1.1. the preparation of roQ
materials. '.1.$. the preparation of o-, m-, or p-phenDlene-bisazoazulenes Qith a sDmmetric or
an asDmmetric structure. '.1.%. the studD of the magnetic, optic or acid-base properties of these

11.1 P,en0lene bis azoazulenes #erivatives
Azulene is an aromatic hDdrocarbon Qhich is polarized due to the transition of an
electron toQard the five-atom ring for achieving an aromatic se/tet at both cDcles.
_
+
0herefore azulenes acGuires a nucleophilic character Qhich appears at five-membered
ring at the positions 1 and % Qhich permit its coupling Qith reactive diazonium salts contrarD to
the benzenoid aromatic hDdrocarbons that need activation electron donor groups for azo
coupling reactions. At the same time, the diazonium salts obtained from 1-azulenamines are not
stable and give azo coupling reactions onlD Qith verD reactive substrates such as -naphthol.
As a conclusion, it can be postulated that the azulenic bisazoic derivatives can be
prepared onlD bD coupling a diazonium salt possessing a benzenic core Qith an azulenic
molecule.
11.1.1. >,e preparation of t,e roF materials
7or the ma!oritD of the coupling reactions commercial reagents are used.
0he generation of bis azoderivatives containing onlD one azulenic moietD into the
molecule reGuires the sDnthesis of amino-azobenzene isomers. 0he easiest to be obtained is the
para-isomer Qhich results in one "or tQo# step bD the aniline diazotization folloQed bD
coupling of the resulted diazonium salt Qith an e/cess of the aniline and in sit% transposition of
the generated triazene.

0he proposed derivatives possess tQo identical or different azulenic moieties. In the first
case, theoreticallD, Qould be easier the direct coupling of the azulenic derivative Qith diazotized
phenDlenediamines. 0he stabilities of these salts and also of their redo/ compatibilities Qith

It is ?noQn that p-phenDlenediamine can be bis diazotized onlD in strong acidic media

0he QaD starting Qith o-nitroaniline also fails because the nitro group in orto position
cannot be cleanlD reduced to amine and onlD transposition products results. o-
+henDlenediamine could be bis diazotized in concentrated sulfuric acid the generated salt
hoQever is in such degree unstable that can not be coupled Qith azo group preservation.
0herefore, other paths must be found to lead to the desired products as for e/ample, the
generation of o-"N-phthalimido#-aniline, its diazotization folloQed bD the coupling of the
resulting diazonium salt Qith azulenes. 0he protecting group, phthaloDl can be removed bD
treating the product Qith hDdrazine and than the neQ amine can be diazotized and coupled Qith
another molecule of an azulene derivative. In this case the coupling Qill ta?e place Qithout
cDclization because there is no nitrogen proton remained to be replaced bD azo group and the
phthalimidic group is stable enough to not be opened bD the attac? of the diazonium ion.

0he first part of this section Qill start Qith the calculation of the geometries and of the
electronic densities of the sDnthesized molecules using 5+AC program. It is important to
?noQ if the orto isomer is planar or not and if the resulted geometrD alloQs it to form
comple/es Qith metals ions, Qhich Qould increase the impact of our studD. At the same time,
the substitution of azulenes Qith methDl at the position 4 could hinder the co planaritD of
azulene Qith the entire molecule and therefore could change the chromophore.
All the compounds Qill be characterized bD N56 proton and carbon spectra. 0he
influences of the phenDl replacement Qith azulene moieties or the differences induced bD the
disappearance of the molecule sDmmetrD bD azulene substitution Qith al?Dl groups Qill be
studied. 0hese facts Qill be also correlated Qith push-pull effects generated bD the structures of
the sDnthesized compounds. 0his fact is important due to the potential hDperpolarizabilitD of
these materials.
A special attention Qill be accorded to the studD of the electronic spectra. It Qill be
observed the influence of the solvent and of the p8 on the Qave length for the most important
band in visible region. 0he solvatochromism of the obtained products Qill be treated verD
carefullD for finding signs of their hDperpolarizabilitD. 0here Qill be determined also the
isosbestic points Qhere theD e/ist and Qill be calculated the bazicitD constants of the
azoderivatives bD measuring the p8 in Qhich are present eGual concentrations "absorptions# of
acidic and basic form of compounds.
11.! P,en0lene bis(azoazulenes) #erivatives substitute# at azulene Fit, functional groups
Azulenes are on the limit of the coupling capacitD of the normal diazonium salts. 0he
coupling reactions are possible Qith the unsubstituted azulenes, substituted Qith al?Dl or if at
position 1 there is one electron donor group Qhich activates azulene. 0he azulenens substituted
at position 1 Qith electron QithdraQing groups Qill not couple in normal conditions. 8oQever,
there are ?noQn some e/ceptions. 7or e/ample, an acetDl group has a higher mobilitD as
electrophilic leaving group than the proton has and more of that its substitution is not reversible
as in the case of proton. 0herefore, it can be substituted bD an azo group in severe reaction
conditions, at high temperatures unusual for normal coupling reactions.

11.!. ProGect obGectives
0he pro!ect that Qe propose considers several important scientific and actual ob!ectives.
1.0he first ob!ective is the elaboration of a procedure for the sDnthesis of some compounds
belonging to a neQ class, that of bis- and polD- azoderivatives Qhich contain in their molecules
phenDlene, phenDl and azulene-1-Dl radicals. 0he introduction of the azulenic moieties induces
a superior polarization than those observed for similar sDstems that have onlD benzenoide
aromatic groups bD increasing the energetic values of the 85 orbitals and decreasing those
of L&5 orbitals. 0he sDnthesis of the proposed compounds presents the noveltD element due
to the fact that the diazonium salts of azulenes are not stable compounds and therefore manD of
the usual coupling reactions can not be realized using these salts. In these conditions the roQ
materials must be the diazonium or tetrazonium salts Qith benzene nuclei and the coupling
components Qill be the azulene derivatives. 8oQever, azulenes being moderate nucleophiles
can not also couple Qith anD diazonium salts. Neither nitrosoderivatives of azulenes can be
considered for the generation of the azo compounds due to their loQ stabilitD, being obtained
onlD at loQ temperatures. 0he preparation and the coupling of the bis azo compounds generated
from phenDlenediamine presents also a series of peculiarities Qhich must be considered. Be
believe that some of the sDnthesis should have as starting materials anilines on Qhich is lin?ed a
substituent able to easilD generate an amino group. for e/ample a nitro group. 3o, the studD of
the sDnthesis of these derivatives presents scientific interest and is not a cosmetic sDnthetic
route.
$.0he second ob!ective is the unambiguous determination of the structures of the obtained
products and the studD of their phDsico-chemical properties. 0he chemical structure of the di-
and polD- azoderivatives ma?es possible a studD regarding the influence of the dihedral angle
betQeen the aromatic nuclei on the the con!ugation or the eventuallD generation of an
anchimeric chiral combination. 6egarding the structure of the obtained products Qill be also
studied its influence both on the N56 and electronic spectra. As has been alreadD mentioned
above, it is li?elD that these compounds to present a superior polarization and polarizabilitD than
those of monoazo compounds due to the enhanced con!ugation possibilities on a higher number
of pi atoms. It is also verD li?elD that betQeen the sDnthesized isomers, some of them that
contain different azulenic groups to shoQ up combination that could crDstallize in
noncentrosDmmetric sDstems and, therefore, to possess good NL properties. 0he same
structural characteristics can also generate the liGuid crDstal Gualities to some other materials
from the same class.
%.0he third ob!ective is the electrochemical characterization of the sDnthesized compounds
using both cDclic voltammetrD and potentiostatic method. 0he results obtained bD the studD of
the electrode ?inetic Qill be used to the elaboration of some possible mechanism of the
electrochemical reactions. 0he specificitD of the proposed sDstems consists in the concomitant
presence of a reducing pole belonging to an azulene derivative and of a relativelD o/idant one
represented bD the azo group, Qhich could generate neQ products bD interacting Qith the
electrodes. It can be anticipated the preparation of dimmers, oligomers or polDmers Qith
interesting electric properties. 0he sDnthesized products during this pro!ect can be utilized in
electrochemical purposes, for e/ample, electrode coverings or the generation of some sDstems
of comple/ electrolDtes.
'.0he last ob!ective is the fact that the beginning of a comple/ themes and relativelD complete
of fundamental research bD the Doung researcher in formation Qill give them the possibilitD to
become good research specialists and a part of the papers can be developed toQard the
sustaining of a doctoral theses. 5ore of that, for several Dears, in collaboration Qith the
institutions of superior education, a part of the students from the last Dear of studD ma?e their
e/periments for their diplomas in our labs. 0he same thing is valuable and for those Qho are
folloQing their 53 programs and is sufficient to remember that almost all our +h-D. students
Qor? their e/perimental part of their 53 dissertations in our teams. 0he proposed ob!ectives
harmonize Qith those of our collaborators from 2uropean countries such as 1ermanD, 7rance or
7inland. 0he results of these previous researches have been alreadD published in manD
prestigious chemical !ournals or presented at sDmposia and congresses

0he pro!ect contains both e/perimental and theoretical parts.
6xperimental activit0 consists in the preparation of the starting materials and of the target
products-bisazoderivatives containing azulenic moieties into the molecules. It involves both the
chemical sDnthesis of the chemical compounds and the column chromatographD on alumina or
silica gel for their purification. 7or the testing of the puritD or the folloQing of the reactions
"usuallD for uncolored reagents# Qill be used our 8+LC apparatus.
(nal0tic control of the obtained products Qill be done bD high performance N56
spectroscopD using high resolution apparatus of %-- 58z and '-- 58z. Also, 53 spectra Qill
be done using 23I procedure, Qhich is the most adeGuate for our relativelD big and polar
molecules.
*v-+iz stu#ies- the curves for the determination of the isosbestiGues of the neQ sDnthesized
compounds Qill be realized on devices for electronic spectra bought recentlD bD our team that
have high resolutions. Also, the p8-measurement of the solutions Qill be done using a brand
neQ device bought from rion CompanD.
6lectroc,emical stu#ies Qill be e/ecuted partiallD at the &niversitD +olDtehnica >ucharest and
partiallD in our group after the acGuisition of a potentiostat. 0he &niversitD 2lectrochemical
Department possesses modern apparatus for electrochemical characterization of the compounds.
>,e t,eoretical part is based on correlations of o/idation and reduction potentials Qith the
L&5 and 85 energies and on calculus of bond lengths and dihedral angles Qith the help
of the Guantum mechanical program-5+AC.
