the same 4-nitrobenzene/azo/pyrazole skeleton and different substituted groups are synthesized in this work.

The structures and spectroscopic properties of these new azo dyes are characterized by using spectroscopic

1. Introduction

26

Azo compounds are, a class of chemical compounds, currently receiving attention in scientific and technological

27

research [1-4]. These chemical materials are colored compounds which are yellow, red, orange, blue or even

28

green, depending on the structure of the molecule. Azo compounds are important materials which are used in the

29

different areas [5-13]. Especially, computational and structural researches on azo dyes have been interested in

30

the fields of dye chemistry as well as in dye industry in recent years, because these studies have been carried out

to reveal the structure-performance relationship of dyes [14-18]. In our previous works [19,20], we have

32

investigated the structural and spectral properties of a series of disazo dyes and performed computational studies

33

based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). Recently, Sener et. al [21] have synthesized disazo dye containing

34

pyrazole skeleton and characterized its structure by using FT-IR, 1H NMR and

35

coumarin based disazo dyes have been synthesized and their spectroscopic properties have been clarified by

36

experimental as well as theoretical investigations carried out by Yıldırım et. al [22].

In this study, our main aim is to investigate the structure-performance relationship of some mono azo dyes which

39

are synthesized by coupling cyclizated active methylene compounds such as malondinitrile, ethylacetoacetate,

40

acetylacetone and 3-aminocrotononitrile with diazonium salts derived from anthranilic acid by performing

41

experimental studies and computational calculations. FT-IR and H-NMR spectra of four new azo dyes are

42

measured in order to obtain the chemical structural properties. The molecular structure, vibrational and NMR

43

spectra of the azo dyes synthesized in this work are calculated by using DFT method with the basis set of 6-

44

31G(d). Crystal structures such as bond length, bond angle and dihedral angles of azo dyes compounds

45

considered in this work are identified by quantum computational method based on DFT.

2 mmol of 5-nitroanthranilic acid is dissolved in hydrochloric acid (in 5 ml water). Then, the solution is cooled

51

to 0-5oC with stirring. Sodium nitrite (2 mmol) in water (5 ml) is gradually added to this solution over 15 min

52

period at 0-5oC while stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred for 2h at this temperature. The resulting diazonium

53

salt solution is then added dropwise to a well-cooled and stirred solution of malononitrile (2 mmol) in sodium

54

acetate (2 g) dissolves in 20 mL water. The pH is maintained at 4-6 through the coupling process by adding

55

sodium acetate. Stirring is continued for 4h at 0-5oC. The precipitated products diluted with cold water (50 mL),

56

filtered off, washed with water several times, and dried. The obtained product is recrystallized from DMF-H2O

57

mixture. Hydrazine hydrate (0.5 mL) is added to a solution of this obtained product (3 mmol) in 20 ml ethanol.

58

The reaction mixture is heated under reflux for 4-6h and then cooled at room temperature. Upon water being

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The DFT based on B3LYP hybrid functional with 6-31G(d) basis set is used to calculate the structural and

92

vibrational properties of four new azo dyes which are synthesized in this work [23,24]. Theoretical calculations

93

for new azo dyes are performed by utilizing the GAUSSIAN 09W package based on quantum chemical

94

calculation techniques [25]. The DFT method is a powerful tool to satisfy performance in terms of the desired

95

sensitivity, computation time and power [26]. The DFT calculations based on B3LYP level are much more

96

sensitive results in predicting structural and electronic characteristics than Hartree-Fock (HF) methods [27]. The

97

optimal structures of the new azo dyes are obtained by using the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The optimized

98

geometric structures of the azo dyes compounds are given in Figure 2. Vibrational modes of the molecules

99

considered in this work are calculated with the help of vibration spectrum analysis by following the optimized

100

structure of azo dyes. The DFT method tends to overestimate the vibrational modes; therefore scaling factor

101

(0.9613) has to be used to overcome the insufficiencies of the theoretical approximations used in the

102

calculations. Therefore, the results are attained to agreement with the corresponding experimental data [28]. All

103

of the wavenumbers for new azo dyes synthesized in this work are found to be positive, providing that a true

104

minimum on the potential surface. The vibrational data obtained from theoretical studies are assigned with the

105

GAUSSVIEW 5.0.8 and the VEDA4 programs [29,30]. The 1H-NMR chemical shift data for the new azo dyes

106

are predicted by using the same level method considered in this work via the Gauge-Including Atomic Orbital

107

(GIAO) method [31]. The 1H-NMR chemical shift calculations are analyzed by considering Tetramethylsilane

108

(TMS) as a reference. UV-vis spectrum analyses of azo dyes considered in this work are studied by using Time

109

Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) employing B3LYP level with the basis set of 6-31G(d) in the

110

different solvents.

114

Physical properties of Compounds A-D were listed in Table 1. The determination of tautomerism is important,

115

especially for theoretical studies, because of their different properties such as photo-physical, biological, thermal

116

and technical. Compound B can exist in four possible tautomeric forms, namely, the azo-enol form, hydrazo-keto

117

form, the azo-keto form and the hydrazo-enol form. The deprotonation of tautomeric forms of Compound B lead

118

to common anions. Also, Compound A, C and D can exist in two possible tautomeric forms, namely, the azo

119

form and the hydrazo form. Tautomeric forms of Compounds A-D are shown in Figure 3.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The behavior of transmittance with respect to wavenumber for Compound A is given in Figure 4. The peaks

122

shown in the figure indicate that as the transmittance is low, absorption is high. When any peaks are not

123

observed in the figure, photons are not observed. Therefore, it can be said that Compound A has not a specific

124

vibrations at the wavenumber considered. The FT-IR spectra of Compounds A-D shows aromatic (Ar–H) band

125

at 3420–3280 cm−1, aliphatic (Alip–H) band at 3040–2880 cm−1 and azo (N=N) band at 1580–1480 cm−1. FT-IR

126

spectra of dyes are given in Figure S1 (Supplementary data, Appendix A). As corresponding B3LYP/6-

127

31G(d) predictions, aromatic (Ar-H) band is recorded within the region of 3129–3095 cm−1. The FT-IR spectra

128

of aliphatic (Alip–H) and azo (N=N) bands are calculated as values of 2943–2931 cm−1 and at those of 1485–

129

1425 cm−1, respectively. 84 normal modes of the vibrations are observed for Compound A; 29 modes are

130

stretching vibrations, 28 modes are bending vibrations and the rest, 27 modes, are torsional vibrational for

131

Compound A. As for Compound B, 84 normal modes of the vibrations are obtained. 29 modes of these

132

vibrations are stretching vibrations, 28 modes are bending vibrations and 27 modes are torsional vibrations. The

133

Compound C has 90 normal modes of the vibrations; 31, 30 and 29 modes of these are stretching vibration,

134

bending vibration and torsional vibrations, respectively. Finally, the normal modes of the vibrations of

135

Compound D are made up of 30 modes of stretching vibrations, 29 modes of bending vibrations and 28 modes of

136

torsional vibrations. The vibrational frequencies produced by DFT method within 6-31G(d) basis set are

137

multiplied by a scale factor of 0.9613 to match experimental vibrational frequencies [28]. The values of

138

vibrational frequencies calculated by B3LYP/6-31G(d) method are given in Table 2, along with experimental

139

data. It is seen that theoretical data are in good agreement with experimental results except for a few

The vibrational frequencies of all synthesized compounds are assigned with GAUSSVIEW 5.0.8 and the

143

VEDA4 programs. The linear regression of Compound A between theoretical and experimental frequencies is

144

shown in Figure 5. Linear regression is carried out by using the linear equation of ‫ ݔܽ = ݕ‬+ ܾ , where ܽ and ܾ

145

are fit constants. The correlation between the experimental and the calculated frequencies multiplied by scale

146

factor of Compound A is linear as shown in Figure 5. The equality of ‫ = ݕ‬1.0037‫ ݔ‬− 3.2699 (ܴ = 0.9998) is

147

obtained by using the method of DFT/B3LYP. It can be concluded that the frequency values obtained from the

148

method of DFT/B3LYP is consistent with the experimental data, since the slope goes to unity as shown in

149

Figure 5. The correlation value (ܴ) is found as 0.9998.

153

(Supplementary data, Appendix A). 1H-NMR chemical shift spectra of compounds show broad peaks between

154

7.42 and 6.30 ppm (NH2), and between 15.92 and 11.21 ppm (NH) of pyrazole. The other chemical shift δ values

155

of 8.74–7.53 ppm (aromatic H), 2.17-2.00 ppm (CH3) for pyrazole and 16.58–15.80 ppm (OH) for carboxylic

156

acid are recorded.

157

128.09 and 115.81 ppm were observed and assigned to pyrazole carbons (C17, C14 and C13) and 157.14,

158

141.35, 120.42, 113.55, 113.23 and 111.76 ppm were observed and defined to phenyl carbons (C4, C1, C3, C2,

159

C6 and C5) of Compound D. Also, 167.13 ppm was identified to carbonyl carbon (C8) and 9.87 ppm was

160

assigned to methyl carbon (C19). The measurement spectra of 13C-NMR for Compounds A, B and C are given in

161

Figure S3 (Supplementary data, Appendix A). The theoretical 1H and 13C NMR data are computed by using

162

B3LYP/6-31G(d) in the gas phase. The 1H-NMR values calculated for Compounds A-D in the solvent of DMSO

163

and corresponding experimental data are given in Table 3. As we consider the 1H-NMR values calculated by

164

B3LYP/6-31G(d), the compounds show broad peaks between 4.79 and 3.08 ppm (NH2), and between 8.48 and

165

6.51 ppm (NH) for pyrazole. The other chemical shift δ values of 8.12–7.19 ppm (aromatic H), 2.47-1.89 ppm

166

(CH3) for pyrazole and 5.59–5.74 ppm (OH) for carboxylic acid are obtained. When compare the theoretical

167

results and experimental data of 1H-NMR, except for X-H (-OH, NH), aromatic and aliphatic protons are in good

168

agreement with each other. It can be clearly seen that -OH and -NH protons resonate at the different regions in

169

our theoretical studies. This indicates that the tautomerization occurs in these compounds. Experimental and

170

theoretical chemical shifts give ones useful information about chemical structure of compounds. Comparison of

171

13

172

general, the chemical shifts values of the aromatic carbons appear in the range of 100–160 ppm.

173 174

UV-spectra analyses of compounds are investigated experimentally for five different solvents of DMF,

175

methanol, acetic acid, chloroform and DMSO. Compounds A-D gave a single absorbance without shoulder in all

176

solvents. Compounds A, B and C were the largest in DMSO when compared with other four solvents. Also,

177

λmax values of Compounds A, B and C in DMF were larger than λmax in acetic acid, chloroform and methanol.

178

Compound D was the largest in DMF. It was also observed that λmax values of Compounds A-D in methanol,

179

acetic acid, DMSO and DMF were shifted bathochromically according to the λmax in chloroform. These results

180

suggest that Compound B is present as an anionic form in DMSO and as a tautomeric form in DMF and as a

181

different tautomeric form in chloroform, methanol and acetic acid. TD-DFT is also used to compute the UV-vis

185

spectrum of Compound A is shown in Figure 8. Due to solubility problems, absorption spectra are determined at

186

various concentrations (10−6–10−8 M) between 300 and 700 nm. The UV–vis spectra shows that bathochromic

shifts of λmax values of compounds observed in DMSO and DMF are greater than those in the other solvents. On

Carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds are the building blocks for organic compounds. In heteroatom-

important. For this reason, the measurements of bond lengths and bond angles are indispensable for the

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Highlights

Four new azo dyes which have the same 4-nitrobenzene/azo/pyrazole skeleton and different substituted groups have been synthesized.



The DFT based on B3LYP hybrid functional with 6- 31G(d) basis set has been used to calculate the structural and vibrational properties of dyes.



The vibrational frequencies of all synthesized compounds have been carried out with GAUSSVIEW 5.0.8 and the VEDA4 programs.



The chemical shift calculations for 1H NMR and Invariant Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method.



Experimental and theoretical results are compatible with each other.

C-NMR of azo dyes are done by using Gauge-
