Therefore, two synthetic few-step methodologies, which make use of commercially available 4-cyanobenzoic acid (method A) and ethyl diazoacetate (method B), were applied to produce two groups of the aforementioned heterocyclic conjugates. In both cases, the target compounds were obtained in various combinations, by introducing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents into the terminal rings, together with aromatic or aliphatic substituents on the triazole nitrogen atom. Synthesis of such designed systems made it possible to analyze the influence of individual elements of the structure on the reaction course, as well as the absorption and emission properties. The structure of all products was confirmed by conventional spectroscopic methods, and their luminescent properties were also determined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27113642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,7]],"date-time":"2022-06-07T00:10:33Z","timestamp":1654560633000},"page":"3642","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Synthesis and Luminescent Properties of s-Tetrazine Derivatives Conjugated with the 4H-1,2,4-Triazole Ring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"Maj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Organic Technology and Petrochemistry, The Silesian University of Technology, Krzywoustego 4, PL-44100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6949-4246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Kudelko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Organic Technology and Petrochemistry, The Silesian University of Technology, Krzywoustego 4, PL-44100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4362-0499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"\u015awi\u0105tkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of General and Ecological Chemistry, Lodz University of Technology, Zeromskiego 116, PL-90924 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2261","DOI":"10.1007\/s00894-014-2261-1","article-title":"Theoretical studies on a new high energy density compound 6-amino-7-nitropyrazino[2,3-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine-1,3,5-trioxide","volume":"20","author":"Wang","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
