Synthesis and Optical Properties of 2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) Acrylonitrile (4MPAN-TFMP) Compounds

The 2-(4-Trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) acrylonitrile (4MPAN-TFMP) compound was successfully synthesized and characterized using standard spectroscopic methods. Thin films of 4MPAN-TFMP were prepared by conventional spin-coating, with varying film thicknesses to investigate the thickness-dependent optical and photonic properties. UV-Vis spectra of the compounds in DMSO were recorded, and key parameters such as absorption (Abs), transmittance (T), absorption band edge (EAbs-be), optical band gap (Eg), and refractive index (n) were determined. The findings highlight the material’s potential for optoelectronic applications, as optimized film thicknesses can enhance material efficiency for various uses. This advancement offers promising implications for developing high-performance photonic devices and improving optoelectronic circuit components.
