Abstract
A palladium(II) acetate-catalyzed synthesis of 1 that utilizes the novel triazene 1-{4-((E)- morpholin-4-yldiazenyl)phenyl}ethanone as a synthon is described. The room temperature absorption spectra of 1 in various solvents exhibited a p ! p* transition in the range of 330 - 350 nm. Compound 1 was observed to be luminescent, with room-temperature solution and solid-state emission spectra that exhibited maxima in the range 400 - 500 nm. All room-temperature absorption and emission spectra exhibited some degree of vibrational structure. The emission spectrum of 1 at 77 K in propanenitrile glass was broad and featureless with a maximum at 447 nm. Compound 1 crystallized as a yellow and colorless polymorph. X-Ray structure analyses of both of these polymorphs and 1-{4-((E)-morpholin-4- yldiazenyl)phenyl}ethanone are presented.
