Study on Photophysical Properties of N-Arylphthalamic Acid Derivative Containing 1, 2, 4-Triazole Scaffold.

A novel N-arylphthalamic acid derivative, 2-({4-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}carbamoyl)benzoic acid (TMPCB) was synthesized and their absorption and emission spectra were recorded in fifteen different solvents of varying polarities at room temperature. Ground state dipole moment of the derivative was calculated experimentally by Guggenheim method and solvatochromic approach proposed by Bilot-Kawski. The singlet excited state dipole moment of TMPCB were calculated experimentally based on different approaches of solvent polarity function proposed by Lippert-Mataga, Bakhshiev, Kawskii-Chamma-Viallet, Reichardt and Bilot-Kawski.
