Description
Triarylmethane dyes, large aromatic compounds that often absorb light, are of a very interesting nature in the world of pigment and dye chemistry. The deeply beautiful colorful compounds of Juliet Blue, Romeo Blue, and Flint Blue (originally named after compounds found to contaminate artwork in Verona, Italy) are the targets of our research. Through various reactions of a small quinoline compound, we aim to not only find successful and efficient ways to synthesize the compounds, but to also discover and learn more about their intriguing synthetic mechanisms and characteristics.
