Nour Photochemistry Department, Chemical Industries Research Division, National Research Centre, Giza, EG Journal Article 2018 05 10 Abstract A series of first-, second-, and third-generation dendronic triazolo-pyridazinones were synthesized in good yields via the Cu I -catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions of 4,6-diphenyl-2-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pyridazin-3(2 H )-one, possessing a terminal alkyne functional group with aromatic mono- and diazides with long alkyl and chiral glycol side-chain substituents. The chemical structures of the new compounds were characterized using different spectroscopic methods. The morphology of the dendrons was examined using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, which revealed the formation of highly ordered nanofiber and nanorod aggregations, directed by π-stacking interactions and van der Waals forces.
