2-(2-巯苯基)苯并噁唑分子内质子转移取代基电子效应的密度泛函理论研究

在B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)和TDB3LYP/6-31++G(d,p)//CIS/6-31G(d,p)水平上研究了2-(2-巯苯基)苯并噁唑及其衍生物基态和激发态分子内质子转移现象,并探讨取代基电子效应对分子内质子转移的影响,研究结果表明,在基态时,硫醇式异构体为优势构象,供电子取代基使基态分子内正向质子转移能垒(烯醇式→酮式)升高;而吸电子取代基则可降低能垒,有利于基态分子内质子转移并有助于硫酮式异构体的稳定.在激发态时,硫酮式结构为优势构象,所研究的2-(2-巯苯基)苯并噁唑化合物及衍生物均可以发生无能垒或低能垒(≤1.5kJ/mol)的激发态分子内质子转移.巯苯基部分是激发态失活的主要活性部分,供电子基团有利于激发态的质子转移,吸电子基团使激发态跃迁困难,不利于激发态的质子转移.     

生色团连接的苯骈三氮唑衍生物的激发态分子内质子转移

用从头算和密度泛函理论研究了对硝基二苯乙烯作为生色团连接的2-(2-羟基-苯基)-苯骈三氮唑的衍生物2-羟基-5-[对硝基-二苯乙烯基-氧亚甲基]-苯基-(2H-苯骈三氮唑)(C1)和4′-硝基-3,4-二[2-羟基-(2H-苯骈三氮唑)-苄氧基]-二苯乙烯(C2)发生激发态分子内质子转移(ESIPT)的可能性.系统研究了C1和C2发生ESIPT的互变异构体的基态与激发态的性质变化,包括相关的键长、键角等结构参数,Mulliken电荷和偶极矩,前线轨道以及势能曲线.计算结果表明,对于C1来讲,酮式(keto)的基态(K)不存在稳定结构,因此发生基态分子内质子转移(GSIPT)可能性很小.酮式的激发态(K*)的氢键强度要远强于烯醇式(enol)的激发态(E*)的氢键强度.分子在光致激发后,质子供体所带负电荷减小而质子受体所带负电荷增加.在K*,HOMO→LUMO的电子跃迁导致电子密度从"酚环"向质子化杂环转移.E*→K*跃迁只需要克服较小的能垒(约41 kJ.mol-1).计算结果表明C1发生ESIPT的可能性很大.C2由于具有高能量,其具有基态的单质子转移特征的异构体EK(同时含烯醇E与酮K结构)、具有基态的双质子转移特征的异构体2K(含有双酮结构),以及具有双酮结构特征的激发态2K*均无法获得它们的稳定结构,因此,基态分子内单或双质子转移和激发态分子内双重质子转移发生的可能性极小.然而,由于双烯醇式的激发态(2E*)和EK的激发态(EK*)存在稳定结构,且2E*→EK*跃迁具有低能垒,因此C2有可能发生激发态分子内单重质子转移.本文进一步计算了两个分子的紫外-可见吸收光谱与荧光发射光谱,获得了具有较大斯托克位移的ESIPT的荧光发射峰.     

2-(3-巯基-2-吡啶基)苯并咪唑分子内质子转移及溶剂化效应

在B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)和TD B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p)//CIS/6-31G(d,p)水平上,研究了2-(3-巯基-2-吡啶基)苯并咪唑(MPyBI)在气相和七种溶剂(环己烷、苯、三氯甲烷、乙醇、乙腈、二甲亚砜和水)中基态和激发态的分子内质子转移(GSIPT和ESIPT)过程.在基态势能面的研究中发现,该化合物存在分子内双质子转移,其中分步的双质子转移在动力学上具有优势.同时对激发态质子转移势能面及激发态转移过程中的光物理现象进行了研究,结果表明该化合物存在快速的无能垒的激发态分子内质子转移,随着溶剂极性的增强,可以降低基态过渡态的能垒,改变硫醇式与硫酮式互变异构体的比例,从而灵敏地控制荧光的强度.

A Theoretical Study on the Photochromic Mechanism of 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-（6-hydro-4-amino-5-sulfo-2,3-pyrazine）-pyrazole-5-one

The photochromic mechanism of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-（6-hydro-4-amino-5-sulfo-2,3- pyrazine）-pyrazole-5-one has been investigated using the density functional theory（DFT）. The solvent effect is simulated using the polarizable continuum model（PCM） of the self-consistent reaction field theory. According to the crystal structure of the title compound, an intramolecular proton transfer mechanism from enol to keto form was proposed to interpret its photochromism. Bader＇s atom-in-molecule（AIM） theory is used to investigate the nature of hydrogen bonds and ring structures. Time-dependent density functional theory（TDDFT） calculation results show that the photochromic process from enol to keto form is reasonable. The conformation and molecular orbital analysis of enol and keto forms explain why only intramolecular proton transfer is possible. The results from analyzing the energy and dipole moments of enol form, transition state and keto form in the gas phase and in different solvents have been used to assess the stability of the title compound.     

Excited state properties of 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin in the gas phase and in solution. A theoretical study

TDDFT/B3LYP and RI-CC2 calculations with different basis sets have been performed for vertical and adiabatic excitations and emission properties of the lowest singlet states for the neutral (enol and keto), protonated and deprotonated forms of 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (7H4MC) in the gas phase and in solution. The effect of 7H4MC-solvent (water) interactions on the lowest excited and fluorescence states were computed using the Polarizable Continuum Method (PCM), 7H4MC-water clusters and a combination of both approaches. The calculations revealed that in aqueous solution the pi pi* energy is the lowest one for excitation and fluorescence transitions of all forms of 7H4MC studied. The calculated excitation and fluorescence energies in aqueous solution are in good agreement with experiment. It was found that, depending on the polarity of the medium, the solvent shifts vary, leading to a change in the character of the lowest excitation and fluorescence transition. The dipole-moment and electron-density changes of the excited states relative to the ground state correlate with the solvation effect on the singlet excited states and on transition energies, respectively. The calculations show that, in contrast to the ground state, the keto form has a lower energy in the pi pi* state as compared to enol, demonstrating from this point of view the energetic possibility of proton transfer from the enol to the keto form in the excited state.     

Does Excited‐State Proton‐Transfer Reaction Contribute to the Emission Behaviour of 4‐Aminophthalimide in Aqueous Media?

4‐Aminophthalimide (AP) is an extensively used molecule both for fundamental studies and applications primarily due to its highly solvent‐sensitive fluorescence properties. The fluorescence spectrum of AP in aqueous media was recently shown to be dependent on the excitation wavelength. A time‐dependent blue shift of its emission spectrum is also reported. On the basis of these findings, the excited‐state solvent‐mediated proton‐transfer reaction of the molecule, which was proposed once but discarded at a later stage, is reintroduced. We report on the fluorescence behaviour of AP and its imide‐H protected derivative, N‐BuAP, to prove that a solvent‐assisted excited‐state keto–enol transformation does not contribute to the steady‐state and time‐resolved emission behaviour of AP in aqueous media. Our results also reveal that the fluorescence of AP in aqueous media arises from two distinct hydrogen‐bonded species. The deuterium isotope effect on the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime of AP, which was thought to be a reflection of the excited‐state proton‐transfer reaction in the system, is explained by considering the difference in the influence of H₂O and D₂O on the nonradiative rates and ground‐state exchange of the proton with the solvent.

Excited state proton transfer in guanine in the gas phase and in water solution: a theoretical study

Theoretical investigations were performed to study the phenomena of ground and electronic excited state proton transfer in the isolated and monohydrated forms of guanine. Ground and transition state geometries were optimized at both the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and HF/6-311G(d,p) levels. The geometries of tautomers including those of transition states corresponding to the proton transfer from the keto to the enol form of guanine were also optimized in the lowest singlet pipi* excited state using the configuration interaction singles (CIS) method and the 6-311G(d,p) basis set. The time-dependent density function theory method augmented with the B3LYP functional (TD-B3LYP) and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set was used to compute vertical transition energies using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) geometries. The TD-B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations were also performed using the CIS/6-311G(d,p) geometries to predict the adiabatic transition energies of different tautomers and the excited state proton transfer barrier heights of guanine tautomerization. The effect of the bulk aqueous environment was considered using the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The harmonic vibrational frequency calculations were performed to ascertain the nature of potential energy surfaces. The excited state geometries including that of transition states were found to be largely nonplanar. The nonplanar fragment was mostly localized in the six-membered ring. Geometries of the hydrated transition states in the ground and lowest singlet pipi* excited states were found to be zwitterionic in which the water molecule is in the form of hydronium cation (H3O(+)) and guanine is in the anionic form, except for the N9H form in the excited state where water molecule is in the hydroxyl anionic form (OH(-)) and the guanine is in the cationic form. It was found that proton transfer is characterized by a high barrier height both in the gas phase and in the bulk water solution. The explicit inclusion of a water molecule in the proton transfer reaction path reduces the barrier height drastically. The excited state barrier height was generally found to be increased as compared to that in the ground state. On the basis of the current theoretical calculation it appears that the singlet electronic excitation of guanine may not facilitate the excited state proton transfer corresponding to the tautomerization of the keto to the enol form.     

Restriction of Photoinduced Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer

An intensive investigation of structure–property relationships in the aggregation‐induced enhanced emission (AIEE) of luminescent compounds is essential for the rational design of highly emissive solid‐state materials. In the AIEE‐active compounds N,N′‐bis[3‐hydroxy‐4‐(2′‐benzothiazolyl)phenyl]isophthalamide and N,N′‐bis[3‐hydroxy‐4‐(2′‐benzothiazolyl)phenyl]‐5‐tert‐butylisophthalamide, fast photoinduced twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) of the enol excited state is found to be mainly responsible for the weak emission of their dilute solutions. The photoinduced TICT enol excited state is formed with a greatly distorted configuration, due to the large rotation about the C? N single bond. This facilitates nonradiative TICT decay from the normal enol excited state to the highly twisted enol excited state, rather than proton‐transfer decay to the keto excited state. In aggregates, photoinduced nonradiative deactivation of TICT is strongly prohibited, so that excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) becomes the dominant decay, and hence contributes greatly to the subsequent emission enhancement of the keto form. Molecular design and investigation of analogous single‐armed compounds further verifies this kind of AIEE mechanism.     

NEW FEATURES IN THE PHOTOPHYSICS and PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF 2-(2''-HYDROXY-PHENYL)BENZOTHIAZOLES INTRODUCED BY AMINE SUBSTITUTION

The photophysics and photochemistry of the 4'-diethylamino derivative of both 2-phenyl-benzothiazole and 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole have been studied by nanosecond and microsecond laser flash photolysis and picosecond emission spectroscopy. For the non-hydroxy substituted molecule, the singlet excited state was shown to relax primarily via fluorescence emission, and a very weak triplet transient was observed after laser flash excitation. The 2-(2'-hydroxy-4'-diethylaminophenyl)benzothiazole (AHBT) was shown to undergo excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in the picosecond timescale (k greater than 3 x 10(10) s-1) to form a colored zwitter-ion/keto form in solution at room temperature while the ground state back proton transfer was slower by a factor of approximately 10(5). However, in marked contrast with other derivatives of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole and related molecules, the ESIPT was not the only deactivation process of the lowest singlet excited state of the enol form. Under steady-state excitation at room temperature (and low temperature), the fluorescence emission of the enol form was observed. The T-T absorption of the enol form was also observed and furthermore, the ESIPT was shown to have an activation energy which was estimated to be approximately 4 kJ. None of the foregoing, fluorescence and T-T absorption of the enol nor activation energy for proton transfer have been observed for the parent or derivatives of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazoles. The striking new features for the ESIPT photochemistry and photophysics for the 4'-diethylamino derivative of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole are discussed and MO calculations are used to aid in the interpretation of some of the experimental results.
