Abstract

Naphthalene diimides have been widely used in the preparation of functional materials. Currently, the use of 1,4,5,8 ring-substituted naphthalimides has brought operational gains for the technological devices, the possibility of photovoltaic and electronic modulation. In this project, it is intended to optimize a novel route of ring-1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimides substitutions. The method used to reduce cost and operational work up. (AU)
