Rezumat:

Highly conjugated azo-aromatic systems have been prepared in high to moderate yields by linking mono- and bis-azo aromatic fragments to 4-(Rn-azulen-1-yl)-2,6-dimethyl-pyridine. The synthesized pi-extended systems have been studied by NMR spectroscopy, UVeVis and electrochemistry. Systematic
increase of the conjugation along the azobenzene skeleton has affected the spectral properties of the azophenyl substituted 4-(azulen-1-yl)-pyridine. The synthesized compounds exhibit a bathochromic shift of the visible absorption maxima with the increase of the conjugating skeleton and introduction of an electron-withdrawing group. The electrochemical behavior revealed a high stability toward oxidation owing to the higher polarization induced by the azulenylpyridine moiety.
