Abstract
The background of this work is based on preparation and characterization of new optically active charge transfer complexes (CTC) to harvest weak infra-red photons emitted from sun light to avoid thermal heat and converting such waste heat into useful work. The innovation in study is that it is first time to prepare such new that absorb in IR and have good thermal conductivity. The obtained results have good impact in both material science and academic research. Electron-donors thiophene Schiff bases: 2-((2-OH-benzylidene) amino) − 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrobenzo[b] thiophene-3-carbonitrile (D1) and 2-((Furan-2ylmethylene) amino) 4, 5, 6, 7 tetrahydrobenzo[b] thiophene-3-carbonitrile (D2) are prepared. For the first time as novelty, these electron donors Schiff bases are intercalated to electron-acceptor picric acid (A1) derivative (A2) forming new charge transfer complexes (CTC). Low charge transfer energy in the range 2.899 eV-3.316 eV reflects good non linear optical activity. Molar extinction coefficients (∊, M− 1 cm− 1 × 103) CTC [(D1) (A2)2], [(D2) (A2)], [(D2) (A2)2] are 125.6, 129.9, and 133.41 respectively reflect excellent optical activities. Deposition CTC as thin film (TF) aluminium foil decrease energy gap of [D1A1] and enhanced absorption of thermal energy of weak IR photons. High thermal conductivity of CTC ranging from 1.1 W.min− 1 .K− 1 to 1.6 W.min− 1 .K− 1 for different particle size. This behavior enabled attenuation of electromagnetic radiation and rapid heat dissipation due to dielectric properties and polarity. On heating, AC electrical conductivity of CTC and dielectric properties confirmed attenuation of thermal infra-red radiation results from golbal warming results from climate change in hot summer season.
