Dihydrofuran ring opening in the reactions of 2,3- dihydrofuro[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]coumarin-3-one with arylhydrazines

2,3-Dihydrofuro[3,2-c]coumarin-3-one reacts with arylhydrazines via two routes. The corresponding hydrazones are formed from arylhydrazines in alcohol and nitrophenylhydrazines in acetic acid or toluene. With phenylhydrazine and para-tolylhydrazine in toluene, 2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]coumarin-3-one reacts unusually undergoing dihydrofuran ring opening and the formation of the corresponding 3-(2-imino-1-(2-arylhydrazinyl)ethylidene)-chromane-2,4-diones. The solvatochromic properties of the synthesized compounds were studied using electronic absorption spectra and quantum chemical calculations.

Reactions of 2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]coumarin-3-one with aromatic amines

2,3-Dihydrofuro[3,2- c]coumarin-3-one reacts with aromatic amines in two pathways, depending on the solvent. The reactions in ethanol afford its enamines, while the use of acetic acid favors the formation of enamines of the 2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]coumarin-3-one dimer. Electronic absorption spectroscopy in different solvents revealed that the enamines obtained can undergo tautomeric transformations. The product of a reaction of 2,3-dihydrofuro-[3,2-c]coumarin-3-one with 4-bromoaniline exists in the enamine form (X-ray diffraction data).     

Photophysical and photochemical study of laser-dye coumarin-481 and its photoproduct in solution

An ultraviolet light-induced photophysical and Photochemical changes of coumarin-481 in cyclohexane have been studied by photolysis technique at room temperature, due to its potential applications in photonics, photochemistry, and electronic spectroscopy. During the optical pumping, coumarin-481 showed photochemical changes, therefore as the concentration of coumarin-481 decreased, a photoproduct concentration increased rapidly. An absorption band of the product was observed at around 250 nm. Photoproduct emission spectra characteristics show that photoproduct molecules can also be used as a laser-dye at different emission frequency.     

ABSORPTION AND EMISSION SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF SOME 2-PHENYLQUINOLINES AND RELATED FUSED SYSTEMS

Abstract— A series of modified 2-phenylquinolines were synthesized and their absorption and emission spectral properties measured in order to determine the effect of structural modifications on excited states. It was hoped that modifications would sufficiently change excited-state properties so that similar structural modifications in 2-phenylquinolinemethanols would negate the phototoxicity of these compounds. The excited states of 2-( o -hydroxyphenyl)quinoline, 11 H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoline, and l,4-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenz[c]acridine proved to have properties different from those of normal 2-phenylquinolines, and this effect was shown to be reflected in simple photochemistry of the dihydrobenzacridine. Absorption spectra provided information on conformational preferences for several of the derivatives.     

Azomethine and merocyanine dyes based on 3-arylbenzo[f]quinolinium salts and their spectral and electrophotographic properties

Azomethine dyes were obtained by reaction of 1-methyl- and 1,2-dimethyl-3-arylbenzo[f]quinolinium methiodides with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol. Merocyanine dyes were isolated by the action of KOH on 2-hydroxy-5,6-benzostyryl derivatives of 3-arylbenzo[f]quinolinium salts. The absorption spectra of the dyes in ethanol and chloroform are presented, and it is shown that, as compared with the spectra of the merocyanines, there is a bathochromic shift of the absorption bands in the spectra of the azomethine dyes. The azomethine and merocyanine dyes have solvatochromic properties and display photosensitivity in the UV and visible regions when they are introduced into a polymer matrix.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1343–1347, October, 1977.     

Optical absorption and emission properties of fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, and their derivatives. A DFT study

Fluoranthene and benzo[k]fluoranthene-based oligoarenes are good candidates for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this work, the electronic structure and optical properties of fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, and their derivatives have been studied using quantum chemical methods. The ground-state structures were optimized using the density functional theory (DFT) methods. The lowest singlet excited state was optimized using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-B3LYP) and configuration interaction singles (CIS) methods. On the basis of ground- and excited-state geometries, the absorption and emission spectra have been calculated using the TD-DFT method with a variety of exchange-correlation functionals. All the calculations were carried out in chloroform medium. The results show that the absorption and emission spectra calculated using the B3LYP functional is in good agreement with the available experimental results. Unlikely, the meta hybrid functionals such as M06HF and M062X underestimate the absorption and emission spectra of all the studied molecules. The calculated absorption and emission wavelength are more or less basis set independent. It has been observed that the substitution of an aromatic ring significantly alters the absorption and emission spectra.     

Disclosure of the imidazolium cation coordination and stabilization mode in ionic liquid stabilized gold(0) nanoparticles

A surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) study of imidazolium ionic liquid stabilized gold(0) nanoparticles (GNPs) furnished previously unknown knowledge about the coordination and stabilization mode of the imidazolium cation. GNPs were prepared by hydrazine reduction of a chloroauric acid solution in 1-triethylene glycol monomethyl ether-3-methylimidazolium methanesulfonate 2 as ether-functionalized room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). UV-vis spectroscopy showed the presence of GNP aggregates as absorptions extended to the NIR region. A parallel coordination mode for the imidazolium cation of RTIL 2 on the GNP surface was observed by SERS, which occurred without the simultaneous coordination of the 1-triethylene glycol monomethyl ether-functionality. Instead of this, the ether-functionality was directed away from the GNP surface and acted as steric barrier between the GNPs/GNP aggregates, thus preventing further aggregation. These new insights suggest that the imidazolium cation is responsible for electrosteric stabilization.

Experimental and theoretical study of 10-methoxy-2-phenylbenzo[h]quinoline

10-Methoxy-2-phenylbenzo[h]quinoline (MPBQ) has been synthesized and characterized by NMR and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Both the ground and the lowest singlet excited-state geometries of MPBQ were optimized by B3LYP and ab initio CIS methods at 6-31G (d,p) level, respectively. The absorption and emission spectra of the compound were experimentally determined in CH(3)CN solution and were simultaneously computed using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in CH(3)CN solution. The calculated absorption and emission wavelengths were in good agreement with the experimental ones. The calculated lowest-lying absorption spectra can be mainly attributed to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). And the calculated fluorescence spectra can be mainly described as originating from an excited state with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character. These results show that MPBQ exhibited excellent thermal stability and could serve as a useful photoluminescence material.     

The Synthesis of Novel Crown Ethers. Part IV. Coumarin Derivatives of [18]crown-6 and Cation Binding from Fluorescence Spectra

4-H, 4-methyl and 4-phenyl-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives of [18]crown-6 derivatives were synthesised from 6,7- and 7,8-dihydroxy-1-benzopyran-2-one reacting with pentaethylene glycol ditosylate in K₂CO₃/DMF/water. The products were identified by elemental analysis, EI-GC-mass spectra and ₁H-NMR spectroscopy. The Na⁺ association constants of some coumarin derivatives were determined with an ion selective electrode in water. The Na⁺ , K⁺, Ba²⁺ and Sr²⁺ binding role of such compounds were particularly observed as remarkable alterations in acetonitrile. The 1 : 1 associations constants of K⁺ and Na⁺ with some coumarin-[18]crown-6 derivatives estimated by this way in acetonitrile exhibited the utility of complexing enhanced quenching fluorescence spectra for the ion binding power of the such macrocycles.     

Syntheses and dynamics of donor-acceptor [2]catenanes in water

A subset of mechanically interlocked molecules, namely, donor-acceptor [2]catenanes, have been produced in aqueous solutions in good yields from readily available precursors. The catenations are templated by strong hydrophobic and [π···π] stacking interactions, which serve to assemble the corresponding supramolecular precursors, prior to postassembly covalent modification. Dynamic (1)H NMR spectroscopic investigations performed on one of these [2]catenanes reveal that the pirouetting motion of the butadiyne-triethylene glycol chain occurs with a dramatically lower activation enthalpy, yet with a much higher negative activation entropy in water, compared to organic solvents. The preparations of mechanically interlocked molecules in water constitute the basis for the future development of complex functional molecular machinery in aqueous environments.     

The pH-induced emission switching and interesting DNA-binding properties of a novel dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex

A novel dinuclear Ru(II) complex, [(bpy)(2)Ru(ebipcH(2))Ru(bpy)(2)](ClO(4))(4), where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and ebipcH(2) = N-ethyl-4,7-bis([1,10]-phenanthroline[5,6-f]imidazol-2-yl)carbazole, has been newly synthesized. The pH effects on UV-vis absorption and emission spectra of the complex are studied, and ground- and excited-state ionization constants of the complex are derived. The binding of the complex to calf thymus (ct) DNA is investigated with absorption and luminescence titrations, steady-state emission quenching, and viscosity measurements. The complex acts as a pH-induced "on-off" emission switch between pH 8.0 and pH 10.0 with a maximum on-off ratio of approximately 100 which is favorably compared with the other imidazole-containing Ru(II) complex congeners, and a strong ct-DNA intercalator with an intrinsic binding constant of 1.31(+/-0.08) x 10(6) M(-)(1) in buffered 50 mM NaCl.     

The Synthesis of Novel Crown Ethers, Part VII [1]. Coumarin Derivatives of Benzocrowns and Cation Binding from Fluorescence Spectra

4-[3-(1-benzopyran-2-one)] derivativesof benzo[12]crown-4, benzo[15]crown-5 andbenzo-[18]crown-6 were synthesized from4-[3-(1-benzopyran-2-one)]-1,2-dihydroxy-benzenereacting with bis-ethyleneglycol dihalides orpentaethylene glycol ditosylate in alkali carbonate/DMF/water. The original products were identified byhigh resolution EI-mass spectra as well as IR,¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. The 1 : 1binding constants of Mg²⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺ andK⁺ with the coumarin-benzocrowns were estimated usingfluorescence emission spectroscopy in acetonitrile.The complexing enhanced quenching fluorescence spectra(CEQFS) and complexing enhanced fluorescence spectra(CEFS) exhibited the ion binding powers due tocationic recognition rules of the macrocycles.     

Photophysical properties and excitation polarization of fac/mer-ruthenium complexes with 5'-amino-2,2'-bipyridine-5-carboxylic acid derivatives

Novel ruthenium(II) complexes, fac/mer-[Ru(MeCO-5Bpy-R)3]2+ (H-5Bpy-OH = 5'-amino-2,2'-bipyridine-5-carboxylic acid; R = -NHtBu, -NH(cHex), -N(cHex)2), have been synthesized. The fac and mer isomers have been successfully separated using HPLC techniques, and their photophysical/electrochemical properties have been investigated. In the absorption and emission spectra of fac/mer-[Ru(MeCO-5Bpy-R)3]2+ with secondary amines (R = -N(cHex)2) in acetonitrile at room temperature, the maximum wavelengths based on the MLCT are longer than those for the amide derivatives with primary amines (R = -NHtBu, -NH(cHex)). A small solvent effect on the photophysical properties between fac- and mer-[Ru(MeCO-5Bpy-NHtBu)3]2+ has been observed. The excitation polarization spectra, giving P values reflecting the relation between the absorption and the emission oscillators, for the fac- and mer-ruthenium(II) complexes (C3 and C1 symmetry, respectively) have been measured for the first time. Almost no difference in the excitation polarization spectra between the fac and mer complexes is found, and these spectra are similar to that for [Ru(bpy)3]2+ with D3 symmetry. This finding suggests that the orientations of the absorption and emission oscillators, in the case of the ruthenium(II) tris(2,2'-bipyridine) derivatives, would not be affected by the symmetries of the complexes and that the P values for any derivatives would be similar to that for [Ru(bpy)3]2+.     

Synthesis and optical properties of new chalcones containing 4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]phenyl fragment

New chalcones with 4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino] phenyl fragment were obtained from 4-[bis(2-acetoxyethyl) amino]- benzaldehyde by the Claisen–Schmidt reaction. From their UV-VIS absorption and emission spectra, optical band gap values were calculated based on the Stokes shifts as well as the molar absorption coefficients and fluorescence quantum yields were estimated. The dependence of the absorption and emission maxima on solvent polarity and pH was evaluated.     

Photophysical properties of ruthenium(II) polyazaaromatic compounds: a theoretical insight

Quantum-chemical methods are applied to study the nature of the excited states relevant in the photophysical processes (absorption and emission) of a series of polyazaaromatic-ligand-based ruthenium(II) complexes. The electronic and optical properties of the free polyazaaromatic ligands and their corresponding ruthenium(II) complexes are determined on the basis of correlated Hartree-Fock semiempirical approaches. While the emission of complexes containing small-size ligands, such as 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2'-bipyridine, arises from a manifold of metal-to-ligand charge-transfer triplet states ((3)MLCTs), an additional ligand-centered triplet state ((3)L) is identified in the triplet manifold of complexes containing a pi-extended ligand such as dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine, tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3',2'-h:2',3'-j]phenazine, and 1,10-phenanthrolino[5,6-b]-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene. Recent experimental data are interpreted in light of these theoretical results; namely, the origin for the abnormal solvent- and temperature-dependent emission measured in pi-extended Ru complexes is revisited.     

Electronic Structure of π Systems: XIX. Keto-Enol Tautomerism of Dihydrofurocoumarinones

Tautomeric transformations of 4-methyldihydrofuro[2,3-h]coumarin-9-one and its 8-substituted derivatives were studied by ¹H NMR, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and quantum chemistry. The ¹H NMR spectra of these compounds in CDCl₃ show that they exist in the ketone form, and in more polar sol- vents they can pass into the enol form. By electronic absorption spectroscopy it was established that the derivatives containing electron-acceptor substituents in the 8 position of the furanone ring undergo tautomeric transformations as the composition of the solvent is varied from 100% methanol to 100% CCl₄. At the same time, the derivatives with electron-donor substituents in the same position do not show any specific alterations in the absorption spectra with solvent. Analogous pattern was observed in the enolization of substituted di- hydrofurocoumarinones by acetylation: In presence of electron-donor substituents in the 8 position, no acetyla- tion occurred, while with the compounds containing electron-acceptor substituents, the corresponding 9-acet- oxy-4-methylangelicins were prepared in high yields. Calculations by the PPP/CI method of the electronic absorption spectra 4-methyldihydrofuro[2,3-h]coumarin-9-one showed that in polar solvents (methanol) it prefers the enol form. Data of spectral measurements were compared with results of semiempirical (MNDO, AM1, and PM3) and nonempirical quantum-chemical calculations (with 3-21G, 6-31G^*, and 31G^** basis sets).
