This study investigates the tuning of the UV-Vis/NIR absorption bands of pyrazine-based A-D-A switches for designing efficient UV retardancy over TiO surfaces. The electronic properties and optical characteristics of seven dyes (DP1-DP7) were analyzed using computational methods. The results indicate that the dyes possessed distinct UV-Vis/NIR absorption properties. Their absorption wavelengths ranged from 389 to 477 nm, with corresponding energies ranging from 2.59 to 3.19 eV. The major contributions to the absorption were found to be the HOMO-LUMO transitions, varying from 86 to 96%. The dyes exhibited different donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups, influencing their electronic properties and absorption characteristics. The tunable electronic and optical properties of these dyes make them promising candidates for applications requiring UV protection for TiO-based materials. The results contribute to understand the structure-property relationships in the design of UV-Vis/NIR absorbers and provide a foundation for further experimental investigations in the field of UV retardancy.

Herein, we present luminescent mononuclear iridium complexes [1]-[4] using NEt-appended C^N chelating benzimidazole (L1-L4) and semi-flexible phenanthroline-pyrazine-based () ligands exhibiting photocatalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in the presence of NEt in an aqueous medium. The formation of [1]-[4] was confirmed by HRMS, H-H COSY, and C and F NMR spectroscopy. The complex [4] is water soluble, whereas the others ([1]-[3]) are partially soluble.

We design four high performance non-fullerene acceptor materials by applying strong electron withdrawing groups at the end of A-D-A-D-A type organic solar cells molecules and compute their different opto-electronic and photovoltaic properties, including absorption spectrum, electron density, solubility strength, charge mobilities for electrons and holes, stability of HOMO/LUMO energy orbitals, excitation energies required for charge transfer mechanisms, and morphology of device with the help of DFT approaches using the principles of quantum mechanics. The newly designed molecules showed strong absorption bands between 420 to 650 nm, low HOMO energy values from -7.24 to -7.

A series of luminescent dinuclear platinum(II) complexes incorporating diphenylpyrazine-based bridging ligands (L(n)H2) has been prepared. Both 2,5-diphenylpyrazine (L(2)H2) and 2,3-diphenylpyrazine (L(3)H2) are able to undergo cyclometalation of the two phenyl rings, with each metal ion binding to the two nitrogen atoms of the central heterocycle, giving, after treatment with the anion of dipivaloyl methane (dpm), complexes of formula {Pt(dpm)}2L(n). These compounds are isomers of the analogous complex of 4,6-diphenylpyrimidine (L(1)H2).

Six new nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores with pyrazinyl-pyridinium electron acceptors have been synthesized by complexing a known pro-ligand with electron donating {Ru(II)(NH(3))(5)}(2+) or trans-{Ru(II)(NH(3))(4)(py)}(2+) (py = pyridine) centers. These cationic complexes have been characterized as their PF(6)(-) salts by using various techniques including electronic absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The visible d → π* metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) absorptions gain intensity on increasing the number of Ru(II) centers from one to two, but remain at constant energy.
