A novel fluorescent polymerisable dye based on naphthalimide derivatives: synthesis and characterization

A novel polymerizable fluorescent dye based on naphthalimide derivatives was synthesized for the first time from acenaphthene as a starting material by nitration, oxidation, imidation and allylation reactions. The synthesized dye has been characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FTIR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR and UV-vis spectrophotometry. The UV-vis spectrum of the prepared dye in DMF represents that dye has wavelength of maximum absorption 435 nm with extinction coefficient 16860 l mol−1 cm−1. The ability of the dye for copolymerization with vinyl monomers such as methyl methacrylate was demonstrated.
