English abstract:
Organic colorants are an important type of compounds
mainly characterized by the presence of conjugated moieties
and color-generating functions (chromophores), such
as carbonyl, azo or nitroso functions. They find various applications
in coloring all kinds of substances - from plastics
to clothes - but are unfortunately often synthesized by
toxic and environmentally harmful routes. This review first
explains the physicochemical basis of colorants, then gives
an introduction to their classifications and general syntheses
and ends with a highlight of recent advances in the environmentally
friendly hydrothermal synthesis of colorants.
