Metal-Free Synthetic Organic Dyes

Product Description

Metal- Free Synthetic Organic Dyes is a comprehensive guide to the synthetic, organic dyes that are classified by their chemical structure. As synthetic dyes are playing an increasingly important role in modern life, with applications in both industry and scientific research, this book provides insights on the many research attempts that have been made to explore new photosensitizers in the development of dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs). These novel photosensitizers have incorporated, within their structure, different organic groups, such as coumarins, cyanines, hemicyanines, indolines, triphenylamines, bis(dimethylfluorenyl) aminophenyls, phenothiazines, tetrahydroquinolines, carbazoles, polyenes, fluorenes, and many others.
This comprehensive resource contains color figures and schemes for each dye discussed, and is an invaluable resource for organic, inorganic and analytical chemists working in academia and industry.

Metal Free Synthetic Organic Dyes

is a comprehensive a guide to synthetic organic dyes, classified by their chemical structure and covering the synthesis and application of these structures. Synthetic dyes are playing an increasingly important role in modern life, with applications in both industry and scientific research. During the past decade, many research attempts have been made to explore new photosensitizers in the development of dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Metal-free organic dyes offer the advantage of superior molar extinction coefficients, lower cost, and a large diversity of molecular structures. These novel photosensitizers have incorporated, within their structure, different organic groups such as coumarins, cyanines, hemicyanines, indolines, triphenylamines, bis(dimethylfluorenyl) aminophenyls, phenothiazines, tetrahydroquinolines, carbazoles, polyenes, fluorenes, and many others.
This resource is complete with color figures and schemes for each dye discussed, and will be a valuable resource for organic, inorganic and analytical chemists working in academia and the industry.

Features a discussion of the synthesis of the new, high-value synthetic dyes and pigments as well as their applications and performance

Includes coverage of new photosensitizers and their role in the development of dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs)

Covers synthesis of the functional dyes ideal for applications in the dye and pigment industry, textiles, colour science, solar energy materials and solar cells, biomedical sensors, advanced materials, structure and synthesis of materials, and more
