Abstract
•Synthesis of Novel pyrazoline derivative (ENTD) with extended π-bond•Physicochemical investigation and optical properties of pyrazoline derivative.•Pyrazoline derivative used as a probe to conclude the CMC of the surfactants.
The new extended π-bond pyrazoline derivative (ENTD) was prepared from heterocyclic chalcone with 2-hydrazinylbenzo[d] thiazole. The spectroscopic methods established the structure of the ENTD, and the elemental analysis established the purity of the ENTD. In ten different solvents, physicochemical ENTD parameters such as the molar absorption coefficient, transition dipole moments, Stokes shift, oscillator intensity and fluorescence quantum yield were determined to see the effect of the solvent with pyrazoline derivative (ENTD) on the basis of different polarity. In addition, the interaction of ENTD chromophore with the cationic and anionic surfactants have been studied. The intensity of fluorescence spectrum of the ENTD was found to increase with an increase in the surfactant concentration. This indicates that there is a strong interaction between ENTD and surfactants. The ENTD chromophore can therefore be used as a probe to define the surfactants' CMC.
