The goal of this research project is investigate the photophysical properties of asymmetric donor- acceptor-donor’ quadrupolar dyes. In particular we are interested in expanding the structural scope of molecular dyes inspired by the naturally occurring curcumin pigment. Target molecules containing coumarin and aryl substituents have been investigated through experimental and theoretical methods to assess their electrochemical and photophysical properties.
