Abstract: Azo compounds have been widely used for many decades in various consumer goods industries including textiles and leather goods due to their intense and characteristic colors. Recently a research group demonstrated that N=N bond can participate in copper mediated-oxidation reaction and transform to the benzotriazole when this azo functionality located by ortho-aniline group. Such chemical transformation is accompanied with a dramatic emissive property changes, i.e, turn-on fluorescence. In our group, we focused on a color change since this chemical conversion is associated with losing a ‘colorful’ azo-functionality. A series of o-(phenylazo)anine compounds were prepared and their relative responses toward copper ion were evaluated. Upon exposure to copper ion, the compounds commonly shows rapid color changes from red (or orange) to colorless. The electronic effects on their kinetic properties and their potential and practical application in industrial setting will be discussed in this presentation.
