Electro-organic synthesis and characterization of new dihydroxybenzene dinitrile derivatives with fluorescent properties.

Novel fluorescent molecules were synthesized by designing an environmentally friendly method involving the bulk electrolysis technique. This electrochemical treatment process helps protect the environment by minimizing the toxic waste component of effluent. The electrochemical oxidation of 3,6-dihydroxybenzene-1,2-dinitrile (DBD) in the presence of benzenesulfinic acids was studied in an aqueous solution (H(2)O : AN, 90 : 10), which included an acetate buffer (pH=5.0). This research utilized a variety of experimental techniques, including cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential electrolysis as well as spectroscopic identification of compounds produced as products. In addition, our fluorescent studies offered results in line with existing findings. At the wavelength of 205 nm, DBD and compound (6) were excited and their fluorescent emissions were monitored.
