SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF AMTPAA The amine group of 2-Aminoanthraquinone undergoes Schiff condensation with carbonyl group of 4-(N,N-Diphenylamino) benzaldehyde along with the formation of water as byproduct. AMTPAA has extended conjugation because of which it can be used as a hole transport material (HTM). 2-Aminoantharquinone (AAQ) has an absorption peak at 402 nm in UV spectroscopy which is attributed to the π-π* transition of the atomic C=C ring and n-π* transition of C=O bond. 2-Azomethine-4’-triphenyl amino anthraquinone (AMTPAA) has an absorption peak at 411nm.
The red shift of 9 nm observed in AMTPAA can be attributed to the extended conjugation which is a direct consequence of the electron withdrawing azo methane bond and planar conformation of the azomethane based backbone resulting in electronic push-pull effect. An asymmetrical band with broad shoulder peak towards shorter wavelength (around 340-350 nm) was observed due to the overlapping with another band of the conjugated structures. As the shoulder peak has weak absorption in the visible region these compounds will not hinder sunlight from efficiently reaching the light absorbing molecules.
The FTIR spectrum of 2-Aminoantharquinone shows the stretching frequency for amine group around the range of …show more content…

To the above solution 22.3 mg of nonaqueous supporting electrolyte named Tetrabutyl ammonium hexafluorophosphate (Bu4NPF6) was added (approx0.01 M). The Platinum electrode constitutes the working electrode. The Platinum wire and Ag/AgCl (3M KCl) were used as counter and reference electrodes respectively. Differential Pulse Voltammetric measurements were performed at different pulse rates from the potential range of 0.4 to 1.4 V to infer about oxidation and reduction peaks of AMTPAA. The differential pulse voltammogram of AMTPAA showed the reduction peaks at 0.6 V and
