Article Synopsis
  • Two phenyleneimine oligomers, OIC1MS and OIC2MS, were synthesized using both traditional and mechanochemical methods.
  • These compounds were characterized using techniques like FT-IR and NMR, and their optical properties were examined with UV-visible spectroscopy, revealing that OIC2MS has notable photochromic characteristics.
  • Additionally, their structural and electronic properties were studied using TD-DFT, indicating that mechanosynthesis is a highly effective approach for creating these tetraimines.
