Catalytic synthesis of some polysubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free condition is reported and their characterization has been carried out spectral techniques. Electronic spectral studies reveal that their solvatochromic behavior depends both the polarity of the medium and hydrogen bonding properties of the solvents. Specific hydrogen bonding interaction in polar solvents modulated the order of the two close lying lowest singlet states.

The dynamics of photoinduced electron injection from 1-(naphthalene-1-yl)-2,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole (NTI) to pristine ZnO, Mn-doped TiO2 and BaTiO3 nanoparticles have been studied by absorption, fluorescence and lifetime spectroscopic methods. Both the absorption and fluorescence results suggest the association between the nanoparticles and NTI. The calculated free energy change (ΔGet) confirms the electron injection from NTI to nano semiconductors.

Synthesis and characterization of 1-(naphthalene-1-yl)-2,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole has been carried out by spectral studies. The synthesized phosphated imidazole and phosphated imidazole bound magnetic nanoparticles were characterized using fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photophysical characteristics of the synthesized phosphated imidazole and phosphated imidazole bound magnetic nanoparticles were investigated by steady-state absorption and emission spectra as well as time resolved fluorometry.

The determined electronic transition dipole moments has been used to estimate the electronic coupling interactions between the excited charge transfer singlet state ((1)CT) and the ground state (S0) or the locally excited state ((1)LE). The properties of excited (1)CT state imidazole derivatives have been exploited by the significant contribution of the electronic coupling interactions.
