Popis: The dibenzothiophene derivatives, namely 2-(dibenzothiophene-2-carbonyl)benzoic acid and 2-(dibenzothiophene-2-carbonyl)alkyl benzoate, were synthesized and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The self-association behavior of these dibenzothiophene derivatives in CH2Cl2 and CH3CN was investigated using UV–visible absorption spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. It was found that the carboxylic acid exhibited a strong self-association trend in CH2Cl2 solution at a concentration of about 5 × 10−7 M. Hydrogen bonding of carboxyl in the dibenzothiophene derivatives was confirmed to be the main driving force for the formation of the carboxylic acid aggregates.
