Synthesis, Characterization, Optical Properties and Theoretical Studies of Novel Substituted Imidazo[1,5-a]pyridinyl 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives

Novel imidazo[1,5-a]pyridinyl 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and characterised by IR, 1H NMR and HRMS.UV-vis absorption and fluorescence properties of these compounds in different solutions showed that the maximal emission wavelength was not significantly changed in different solvents; however, maximum absorption wavelength was blue-shifted with the increase of solvent polarity. Absorption λmax and emission λmax was less correlated with substituent groups on benzene rings. The calculated molecular orbital correlates well with their absorption.
