Stabilization of nitric AcidAbstractNitrous vitriolic (HNO2) was stabilized via accommodateing on Polyvinylpolypyrrolid hotshot (PVPP) and the thermal stabilization and twist were estimated utilize thermogravimetric analysis measurement and spectroscopic methods, respectively. Some novel heterocyclic conglomerate azo dyes were synthesized by selective diazotization of aromatic amines fol baseborned by match with most susceptible aromatic compounds. The stereochemistry structure of the synthesized dyes were optimized victimization B3LYP at 6-311 G(d,p) basis invest and their electron excitation properties were evaluated using calculations of density functional theory. UV-Visible analysis was employ for Photophysical properties evaluation of the new dyes and comp ard with computed vertical excitation obtained from TD-DFT. Also, the azo-hydrazone tautomerism of the triazine azo dyes was investigated and the results presentation that for whole of the synthesized dyes both a zo and hydrazone tautomeric forms come through, plot 3a-5 turn outs more notable hydrazone form than separate(a)(a)s.Keywords Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, Nitrous stifling, azo dyes, azo-hydrazone tautomerism1. IntroductionNitrous cutting as a infirm inorganic acid has significant applications in organic reactions such(prenominal) as diazotization, nitrosonation and Sandmeyer Reaction,1,2 merely its instability in temperatures upper 5 C causes roughly restrictions to using it. In this work, we stabilized azotic acid via supporting on polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) and then utilized it in synthesis of about novel azo dyes. However, PVPP has been report as an efficient support in many cases such as trifluoroboride and nitric acid.3,4 PVPP-HNO2 has many advantages that make it environmentall(a)y acceptable in both industrial and laboratory viewpoints. It is applicable for a long clock time after preparation and the polymer easily remove by washing with water.In particular, nitrous acid absorbed on polyvinylpolypyrrolidone takes part in azo coupling reaction and the polymer remains or so completely intact. However, the literature describing arylamines rebirth to diazonium salts using polyvinylpolypyrrolidone supported nitrous acid (PVPP-HNO2) is not available. Herein, we wish to read a convenient procedure for diazotization reaction using this stable reagent.Azo colorants from aromatic heterocyclic amines puzzle sublimation fastness, excellent light and color strength.5 They be one of the important assorts of synthetic organic dyes. They are applied in various fields such as electronic photography, liquid crystallization displays, paper printing, bleaching, polymers, laser technology, dyeing, color formers, data storage and solar dexterity conversion.6 They also hasten been known as antibacterial, antifungal and anti-tumor compounds.7,8The compound 1,3,5-triazine has an preference six-membered heterocyclic sonorousness with an equal numbe r of nitrogen and coulomb atoms.9 The triazines are analogues of benzene rings, which makes them as an aromatic compound like benzene. 1,3,5-Triazine, a common reagent which is use as herbicides and pharmaceuticals.9The diazonium salts of triazines derivatives accommodate been reported as a diazotization targets in the synthesis of a variety of heterocyclic azo dyes10,11 but no report found in direct diazotization of triazines with more than one aromatic amine group.The institution of azo-hydrazone equilibrium in azo colorants having the hydroxyl radical group at ortho or para position to azo gene linkage was proved in 1983.12 In hydrazone form, due to the atomic number 1 poseing, a planar six-membered ring is formed with higher thermal stability than azo form ones.13 After reductive cleavage, the azo chromophoric system gives carcinogenic amines,14 while in the hydrazone tautomer will be cleaved the C-N bond instead of N=N bond.15 The read of azo-hydrazone tautomerism gives the great information for a suitcasement of azo chromophores with least toxicologic effect on the environment.Finally, we report preparation of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone supported nitrous acid (PVPP-HNO2) and synthesis of novel azo dyes by diazotization of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (1)and 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (2), followed by coupling with hydroxyl and amine substituted of aromatic compounds (Scheme 1).The submergence spectra were obtained using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer and the structures of the triazine azo dyes were corroborate by apparitional analysis. Also, DFT calculation was used for study of their azo-hydrazone tautomerism. The structures in azo and hydrazone forms were optimized in the TD-SCF method using B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) basis sets.3. Results and discussions3.1. Stabilization of HNO2 over PVPPPVPP-HNO2 was vigilant by a innocent alley. As regards the nitrous acid is extremely unstable in temperatures over than 5 C, polyvinylpolypyrrolidone which previously has been applied as an efficient support,3,4 was used and the spectroscopic and observational results showed that PVPP can stabilize nitrous acid by formation of PVPP-HNO2. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) investigation of the polymer and PVPP-HNO2 was performed to study their thermal stability (Fig. 1). The thermal decomposition of PVPP starts at progress 330 C and a sharp burning of polymer chains in light PVPP sample occurs between 360 C with the weight loss of 75% of the initial weight. TGA spectra of PVPP-HNO2 demonstrate a mass degradation at 70 C in PVPP-HNO2, whereas there is no similar situation in TGA spectra of perfect(a) PVPP. In other words, TGA spectra of PVPP-HNO2 show that stability of nitrous acid has been increase to 70 C. Due to that, the probable hydrogen bonding causes the stability of nitrous acid via prevention of its decomposition to nitrogen oxides. Furthermore the results of acid-base titration show that the PVPP-HNO2 is all the way more acidic than pure PVPP. While pH of the 0.1% solution of PVPP in water is about 7.0, but the said(prenominal) of PVPP-HNO2 is about 2.92. In other word, H+ is 1.2-10-3 M and it shows that HNO2 is about 0.0032 M and it reveals there is about 0.02 g of nitrous acid in 1 g of PVPP-HNO2 which shows good accordance with TGA results.PVPP-HNO2 was active in different ratios of PVPP and HNO2.The best result that showed the upper limit capacity of acid in the polymer was 20% w/w. The ratios determined by acid-base titration was consistent with TGA degradation analysis.Besides, the synthesis of PVPP-HNO2 was confirmed by FT-IR spectrum. It shows carbonyl band at 1658 cm-1, whereas the same band in pure PVPP has come to the foreed at 1668 cm-1. This can put to hydrogen bonding between nitrous acid and PVPP (Figure 2). This type of interaction has been reported between PVPP and polyphenols.16The existence of the N-O band stretching at 1380 and 1572 cm-1 in PVPP-HNO2 and absence of thi s band on PVPP, gives the indication that nitrous acid has been conjugate to PVPP polymer (Figure 3).3.2. tax write-off and componentization of azo dyes A simple and facile synthetic route was presented for the preparation of triazine azo dyes. We found that these products can participate in azo coupling reaction to form various and already known azo dyes. Therefore, we treated diazonium salts with 1-naphtol, 2-naphtol and other amino and hydroxy aromatic compounds to obtain a variety of azo dyes in good yields.The compound 4-amino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2-diazonium was synthesized from mixture of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (1)and PVPP-HNO2 in 1 mmol of diamine to 2.0 g of PVPP-HNO2 ratio and further coupled with 1 mmol of 2-naphthol in DMSO to obtain 1-((4-amino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)diazenyl)naphthalen-2-ol (3a-2)in good yield. Other derivatives have been synthesized by different coupling components (Scheme 2).The chemical substance structure of the new dyes was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. 2-naphtholic dyes 3a-2 and 3b-2 put up the hydroxyl group at ortho-position to the azo bridge and have the skill to make a six-membered ring due to intra molecular(a) hydrogen transfer. The result of this type of interaction is chemical shift deshielding of hydroxyl group proton than usual. 1H NMR spectra summarized in control panel 1 indicates the dye 3a-5 shows an extra singlet at 12.11 ppm attributed to N-H proton which is in hydrazone form. The protons of NH2 in the heterocyclic ring of serial publication 3a show singlet peaks at 8.16 to 8.63 ppm while the same at series 3b appear at 6.77 to 6.99 ppm. The 13C NMR spectrum of heterocyclic ring carbons shows down field peaks at 180-190 ppm. Except compound 3a-4 which have three non-aromatic carbons, all of the other compounds full have aromatic carbons. 13C NMR spectrum of 3a-4 shows two peaks at 96.2 and 151.3 ppm that attributed to the carbons which have been linked to azo gro up and the hydroxyl group, respectively and a peak at 162.0 ppm which assigned as ester carbon of coumarin ring. Infrared spectra of the synthesized chromophores show the band at 1500-1570 cm-1 related to the N=N bond. A unique band at 2200 cm-1 in 3a-5 reveals the existence of C=N group which can be another evidence for the existence of hydrazone form in this compound. Electron ionisation mass spectroscopy (EI-MS) was used to verify structure of the synthesized azo dyes. The base peak in all of the dyes is due to fragmentation of the motes in the azo bridge. Series 3a and 3b show a base peak at m/z 171 and 110, respectively which attributed to the ionized heterocyclic rings.3.3. Photo-physical properties and solvent effectsTo checkout time out the color properties with structural correlation of the synthesized azo dyes, UV-Visible spectra of the dyes were recorded in solvents such as n-hexane, ethanol, acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide at concentration of 10-4 M and at get on temperature. The results are tabulated in Table 1. Although a moderate bathochromic shift in ethanol and acetonitrile was seen, but generally no significant bathochromic shift was observed. The UV-Vis assimilation spectra of all of the dyes in all solvents show the main band at 290-330 nm which can be assigned to moderate energy mutation of the aromatic ring. All of the 3b series and compounds 3a-2, 3a-4 and 3a-5 in all solvents, two bands are displayed arising from the * transitions in the backbone. The piece bands appear at 360-500 nm can be assigned to azo bridge or intermolecular azo-aromatic chromophore.3.4. Computational studyGaussian 03 plan package was employed to study Time-Dependent Density usable Theory (TD-DFT) and the profusion of the synthesized azo dyes in their azo and hydrazone tautomeric forms.17 TD-DFT calculations were applied using B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) basis set with the default convergence criteria and without any limitation on the geometry. The TD-DFT prov ide the most powerful and effective computational tool for examining the foothold and excited state properties of the azo molecules compared with obtained UV-Vis data. Time-dependent DFT method was applied for determination of the UV-Vis spectra, electronic transitions, and vertical excitation energies.3.4.1. UV-Vis spectral analysisThe UV-Vis spectra of azo dyes molecules were measured in dimethyl sulfoxide solution as shown in Figure 4. The compute submersion maximum flutterlength (max), electron transition energies and oscillator strength both in solvent shape (DMSO as solvent) along with recorded UV-Visible data are shown in tables 2 and 3.The main characteristic of the spectra is determined by the general structure of the molecules. each molecule has a double band NN (azo group) which is straightaway conjugated with a isocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic ring. This group has a wide electronic delocalization. Therefore, it is possible to predict the presence of the main ab sorption band associated to a -delocalized system that involves the fragment NN and other associated internal transitions that emerge from the aromatic and/or heterocyclic system. In this palpate and in according with the structure of the compounds, we can determine that the first absorption band 1 located in the range of 290-320 nm with low intensity that appears as shoulder is attributed to * transition that involves the aromatic rings, while the second absorption band 2 located in the range of 300-400 nm, attributed to a * transition. This transition involves the azo bridge. The remaining absorption band located at pass up energy corresponds to 3 and is assigned as the type n * transition. A similar behavior of the previous transition is observed. In tables 2 and 3, the experimental and reckon maximum absorption and the corresponding orbital role are shown. As observed, shorter wavelengths (1) and in some cases 2 belong to subvert occupied MOs such as HOMO-4, HOMO-6 and HOM O-8 and LUMO while longer wavelengths (3) involves frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs). The description of FMO will be discussed in the DFT section.An example of the involved MOs for compound 3a-2 is presented in Figure 5. The entire former assignations were corroborated using TD-DFT calculations. The involved MOs for all of the synthesized compounds are presented in Figure S1-9.3.4.2. DFT calculationsFor prediction of the molecules electronic spectra, the TD-DFT calculation is used because of low computational cost and high accuracy.The electronic structure of the molecule in ground state can be determined from the wave function of the electron moving within molecule because molecular orbital can be treated as electron channels.18 The Gauss View program is applied to calculate group contribution of molecular orbitals, i.e. the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs). In almost every calculated transitions, the FMO are involved, vi de supra. The FMO of all compounds shows similar characteristics as observed in auxiliary data (Fig. S1-9).In all cases, HOMO is delocalized over the homo-aromatic ring and azo bridge. The HOMO-1 is composed in every case mainly by the azo bridge. In terms of unoccupied MOs, the LUMO is mainly centered over the homocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic rings and azo bridge. On the other batch LUMO+1 of naphtholic compounds 3a-1, 3a-2, 3b-1 and 3b-2 is located almost over the triazine ring while in other compounds, LUMO+1 attributed to non-triazine aromatic rings.The ionization potential (IP), electron semblance and GAP energies do not follow any switch off and the calculated apprises are similar and do not depend on the substituted coupled to triazine rings.19 The estimated reactivity world poweres such as chemical potential (), chemical hardness () and electrophilicity () are reported for make the approach of the potential reactivity of these synthesized dyes (Table 4).Chemical hardness is a measure of the resistance of chemical species to heighten its electronic configuration.19 It is an index of the stability and chemical reactivity of compounds. The highest value of is shown by compounds 3a-5 and 3b-4 in 3a and 3b series, respectively, which have 2-nitroaniline as coupling aromatic agent and are the most electron attracting substituent. On the other hand, the smallest value is shown by 3a-2 and 3b-2 which have 2-naphtol in the structure as a good electron-donor substituent. Chemical potential characterizes the tendency of escaping of electrons from the equilibrium system.19,20 This index shows an opposite behavior to that of , where the highest value belongs to 3a-2 and 3b-2 which have electron donor substituent and the smallest value is shown by 3a-1 and 3b-4 which the second compound acts as an electron acceptor substituent while the first can acts as an electron acceptor via induction. Electrophilicity index () could give information comparing two in which one is nucleophile/electrophile via lower/higher .20 For example comparing between 3a-1 and 3a-2 shows that 3a-1 has higher and it can attribute to more electron attraction of 4-hydroxy substituent rather than 2-hydroxy in the naphtholic system. Another pleasing comparison between 3a-1 and 3b-1 shows more electron attraction in triazine ring in 3a-1. A phenyl group which replaced with the amine group has increased electrophilicity of 3a-1 than to 3b-1. Although some contradictions are found in case 3a-5 that it can appropriate to azo-hydrazone tautomerism that it will be discussed in the tautomerism section.3.4.3. Optimized geometries of azo-hydrazone tautomeric formsThe optimized ground state geometries of the dyes in azo-hydrazone tautomeric forms are shown in figures 6 and 7.Figure 7. Ground state optimized structure of dyes 3a series in their azo and hydrazone tautomeric formsOptimized ground state geometries of the compounds in azo forms are almost planar such as 3a- 1 and 3a-2 which show a mild dihedral angulate twist less than 5 at N15-N14-C11-N12 and at N7-N14-C9-C14. All hydrazone forms show a dihedral angle twist by near 30 which follows no trend.Optimized bond lengths of the synthesized triazine azo dyes (3a and 3b) have been calculated. The O-H bond lengths of azo forms for all of the naphtholic series (3a-1, 3a-2, 3b-1 and 3b-2) is 0.960 . Similarly, the N-H bond lengths are 1.015 for 3a-1 and 3a-2 and 1.000 for 3b-1 and 3b-2. This calculated information shows no significant trend to determine azo-hydrazone tautomerism but the obtained N-N bond can signify the single-double bond character of the bond. The N-N bond length in hydrazone form falls shorter to the model value of 1.400 for single bond.21 N-N bond length in 3a and 3b azo series are 1.232 and this bond length in 3a and 3b hydrazone forms are 1.400 except in 3a-5 which N-N bond length in hydrazone form is 1.330 and this confirms our 1H NMR observation in the existence of 3a -5 in both azo-hydrazone forms in significant ratio, while in other compounds this rate of ratio is not impressive.3.4.4. Calculated energies of azo-hydrazone tautomeric formsThe free energies (E/hartree) and relative energies (E/ kJmol-1) of the synthesized dyes in both azo and hydrazone forms calculated using the B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) level to check theoretical stability deflexion between tautomeric forms and the values tabulated in Table 5. Contrary to this expectation that hydrazone forms have relative stability than azo tautomers,15,22 in our TDDFT calculations, only hydrazone form of 3a-1 shows more relative stability than the same of azo form by 26.26 kJmol-1. 2-naphtholic dyes 3a-2 and 3b-2 show a significant stability in azo forms than hydrazone forms by 1260.48 and 498.94 kJmol-1, respectively. In the other compounds there is no difference between the stability of azo and hydrzone form and it shows that in comparison to experimental data, there is no notable accordance in TD DFT structures energy.4. ConclusionIn summary, we have successfully developed an efficient protocol to stabilize nitrous acid by supporting on polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP). Synthesized PVPP-HNO2 confirmed by simple titration and FT-IR analysis. The TGA results show that the supported system has acceptable thermal stability. In the following, we have synthesized nine heterocyclic triazine azo dyes and they were confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectral analysis. UV-Visible spectral analysis was compared with calculated data. TDDFT calculations were performed showing enough adaption with experimental observations. The optimized structure of azo and hydrazone form using B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) basis set of calculation shows that azo is more stable form in all of the synthesized dyes except 3a-5, which exist in both azo and hydrazone forms.Acknowledgement.
