Some spirobiindane based 1H-pyrazolo [3,4-b] quinoline chromophore as novel chromophore for light-emitting diodes

An influence of phenoxy groups for the luminescent and electroluminescent properties of spiro-compounds with pyrazolo [3,4-b] quinoline structure (fluorophore) chromophore has been studied. All the compounds exhibit strong fluorescence in solution and in solid state as well. The prepared compounds were used as dopant chromophore in PVK polymer matrices for electroluminescent (EL) and light-emitting diode (LED) devices with configuration ITO/PEDOT-PSS/PVK/PQ/Ca/Al. Role of the bathochromic shifts and solvent polarity in absorption and photoluminescent maxima is considered. Relation between the number of pyrazoloquinoline chromophore and presence of phenyl group on the fluorescence spectra is explored. Polarizability of the particular pyrazoloquinoline compounds on the solvatochromic effects is investigated. Possible ways of enhancement of the brightness in the light-emitting properties of the mentioned chromophore are discussed.     

Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy of 3-hydroxy-3-phenyl-1-o-carboxyphenyltriazene and its copper (II), nickel (II) and zinc (II) complexes: a novel fluorescence sensor

Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic properties of 3-hydroxy-3-phenyl-1-o-carboxyphenyltriazene (HT) are studied. The mechanism of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) followed by energy transfer process of the ligand and the Cu (II), Ni (II) and Zn (II) metal complexes have been investigated. The excited state photo induced intramolecular hydrogen transfer from N-OH to triazene 1-nitrogen atom is explained. The effect of pH, solvent and concentration on the absorption and fluorescence of the ligand is studied and it has been found that the absorption and fluorescence of HT is highly pH, solvent and concentration dependent. Participation of the N-OH proton of HT in the solvent assisted O to N-proton transfer has also been proposed. The fluorescence band shift and changes in intensity is modulated by protonation and complexation with metal ions. This fluorophore can thus be used as a pH dependent and M⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺/Mⁿ⁺ redox on/off switchable molecular sensor.     

Theoretical-Experimental Photophysical Investigations of the Solvent Effect on the Properties of Green- and Blue-Light-Emitting Quinoline Derivatives

This paper describes the investigations on the solvatochromic effect and the photophysical properties of quinoline derivatives, compounds with potential applicability in optoelectronic devices. Using an experimental and theoretical approach, the effect of the solvent and the insertion of the phenyl, nitro, amino and dimethylamino group in the quinoline backbone were investigated. The use of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations provided the bases for the understanding of the energetic transitions observed in the absorption and fluorescence experiments. In general, it was observed a change in the wavelength of maximum absorption and fluorescence quantum yield of the studied compounds caused by the substituents in the quinoline core. This effect was correlated with the solvent dielectric constants.     

Fluorescence Characteristics of Schiff Bases Derived from Amino- and Aminoalkylpyridines

The fluorescence characteristics of the Schiff bases 2-(3-pyridylmethyliminornethyl)phenol (1), 2-(2 pyridyliminomethyl)phenol (2), N.N-bis(salicylidene)-2,3-pyridinediamine (3), N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-2,6-pyridinediamine (4) and 2-(2-amino-4-methoxymethyl-6-methyl-3-pyridylmethyliminomethyl)phenol (5) were studied in various solvents at different pH values. Corresponding quantum efficiencies were determined. Compound 1, which showed a tendency towards tautomeric mterconversion to ketoamine in polar protic solvents, was not fluorescent at pH < 8. The fluorescence of other compounds was very sensitive to solvent polarity and the pH of the medium. Compounds 2-4, preferably present as enolimines in all solvents, were not fluorescent in non-polar and moderately polar solvents, whereas weak emission was observed in polar solvents, like methanol, dimethylformamide and dioxane/water 1/1 (0.001 < Q < 0.072). A significant increase in Stokes shifts and in quantum efficiencies was noted as a result of increasing polarity of dioxane/water mixtures, indicating specific interactions with polar water molecules. The emission was promoted at acidic pH values where a pyridinium cation was formed (0.061 < Q < 0.519, in dioxane/water 1/1 at pH 3.4). Compound 5, which was a tautomeric mixture of enoiimine and cyclic diamine in all solvents, was fluorescent in polar as well as in non-polar media. The quantum efficiency varied dependent on the solvent and pH (0.023 <Q< 0.435). The cyclic diamine, i. e. the more rigid structure was supposed to be responsible for the fluorescence in non-polar and aprotic solvents as well as at neutral, and weakly basic pH values.     

Synthesis, Structural, Thermal and Photo-Physical Properties of Triazine Based NLO Material

Three novel triazine based organic chromophores with D-π-A (Donor-π system- Acceptor) push-pull type have been synthesized from 2, 4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine as a starting material. Structures of all the three compounds have been confirmed by UV-Visible absorption, FT-IR, NMR and Mass spectral techniques. Their photo physical and thermal properties have been investigated. Among the three compounds, 6-phenyl-2,4-((4-amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl pyrazol-3-ylidene)(4-nitro benzylidene))-diamino-1, 3, 5-triazine (NDP) showed positive solvatochromism compared to the other two compounds. The absorption in the UV region of these three compounds were found to be less dependent on solvent polarities, whereas the red shifted fluorescence was strongly dependent on solvent polarities. The TGA data indicates that all the three compounds are stable up to 160 °C. Measurement of non linear optical properties showed that there is an increased second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency with respect to urea indicating the existence of high molecular nonlinearity in NDP.     

Structural effects on intramolecular exciplexes of 1-amino-3-anthryl-(9)-propanes

The photophysical behavior of six 1-(N-aryl-N-alkyl)-amino-3-anthryl-(9)-propanes was studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements in methylcyclohexane/ isopentane (MP). Structurally, these compounds are most suitable for the formation of intramolecular exciples as shown by the high exciplex quantum yields. The rate constants and the activation energies show that the rate of the exciplex formation depends on steric effects of the N-alkyl group and on the donor effect of the N-aryl group. From the rise curves of the exciplex emission it follows that also in nonpolar solvents exciplexes with a conformation deviating from the favored sandwich structure can be formed. The solvent effect on the fluorescence properties was investigated.     

发光标记物——异硫氰酸曙红荧光的介质效应

详细研究了介质(pH、有机溶剂、表面活性剂) 对异硫氰酸曙红(Eosin-NCS)荧光的影响。结果表明,体系的pH和极性是影响Eosin-NCS荧光的两个主要因素。Eosin5-NCS在弱酸性介质中的荧光强度明显高于在弱碱性介质中的荧光强度,但荧光强度随溶液pH的变化较敏感,需要小心控制。表面活性剂与Eosin5-NCS的作用表现出明显的电性选择性, CTMAB对Eosin-NCS荧光的影响存在着单分子猝灭和胶束增敏作用两个过程; 当有CTMAB胶束存在时,Eosin-NCS在弱碱性介质中荧光强度可达到甚至超过其在弱酸性介质中的荧光强度。在高含量有机溶剂存在时,Eosin5-NCS荧光亦可显著增强,应充分利用这些特性。     

Fluorescence Properties of Donor–Acceptor-Substituted Pyrazoloquinolines

The photophysical properties of three newly synthesized pyrazoloquinolines, composed of N,N-dimethylaniline as donor subunit and various substituted forms of the acceptor pyrazoloquinoline (DPPQ), were investigated by absorption as well as by stationary and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. These compounds show generally highly efficient emission in nonpolar and medium polar solvents; the dipole moment of the emitting state increases and the quantum yield decreases with solvent polarity. These results are explained by state reversion in polar solvents: At low polarities emission originates from a state localized on the DPPQ moiety, whereas in the high-polarity regime the next excited state of charge transfer character, in which an electron is promoted from the amino nitrogen lone pair into an excited orbital of the DPPQ moiety, becomes the fluorescent state. This view is corroborated by semiempirical calculations including the solvent reaction field, low-temperature fluorescence measurements, and the observation of effects of protonation on the spectroscopic and photophysical properties.     

Fluorescence Study of Excited-State Relaxation Processes of 2-Pyridyl-5-Aryloxazoles

Anomalously high fluorescence spectrum Stokes' shifts of 2(4-pyridyl)-5-(4-methylphenyl)oxazole, 2(4-pyridyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxazole, 2(4-pyridyl)-5-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)oxazole have been found. The fluorescence spectra of the compounds studied are shifted to longer wavelengths as the solvent dielectric constant increases. The dipole moments of these compounds increase by 3–4 times upon excitation. The fluorescence spectra of the compounds investigated are shifted to shorter wavelengths, and the fluorescence quantum yields increase as the temperature decreases. The fluorescence rate constant of 2(4-pyridyl)-5-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)oxazole changes slightly as the temperature decreases from 293 K (relaxed state) to 114 K (mainly nonrelaxed state). It was concluded that the anomalously high fluorescence Stokes' shift of 2-pyridyl-5-aryloxazole derivatives is caused by solvent orientation relaxation.

Investigation of Solvent Effects on Photophysical Properties of New Aminophthalimide Derivatives-Based on Methanesulfonate

Novel aminophthalimide derivatives were synthesized starting from (3aR,7aS)-2-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3a,4,7,7a–tetrahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (9) , and solvent effects on the photo-physical properties of these newly synthesized aminophthalimide derivatives (compounds 14 and 15) were investigated using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. Both absorption and fluorescence spectra exhibited bathochromic shift with the increased polarity of the solvents for both molecules. Solute-solvent interactions were analyzed using the Lippert-Mataga and Bakhshiev polarity functions, and Kamlet-Taft and Catalan multiple linear regression approaches. The results revealed that these two molecules experienced specific interactions. Furthermore, photo-physical parameters were calculated for both molecules in all of the solvents, such as the fluorescence quantum yield, fluorescence lifetime, radiative (k_r) and non-radiative (k_nr) rate constant values. It was observed that the fluorescence quantum yield values decreased linearly with increasing solvent polarity. This study proved the new dyes including isopropyl methanesulfonate group displayed different behavior from previous studies of aminophthalimide derivatives in water. It was recommended that these new dyes having interesting properties by changing solvent can be used various applications such as environmentally sensitive fluorescent probes, labels in biology, laser industry.

Purine Scaffold Effect on Fluorescence Properties of Purine-Hydroxyquinolinone Bisheterocycles

The fluorescence properties of bisheterocyclic compounds that contain purine and the 3-hydroxyquinolin-4(1H)-one skeleton connected with an aliphatic spacer of a different length/structure (3HQP) were examined. It was found that the introducing of the spacer-purine scaffold led in the comparison to 3HQs themselves to (1) the possibility of the effectual excitation in the wider range of excitation wavelengths, moreover, some derivatives can be excited at relatively high wavelengths around 400 nm, (2) the lowering of the quantum yield and (3) the slight longer wavelength shift of the dual emission spectra. Tested organic solvents did not affect significantly the 3HQP fluorescence properties. The characters of emission spectra as well as the quantum yields of 3HQPs were notably influenced by the ratio of water and DMSO in their composed mixture applied as a solvent. With increasing water content in the mixture both I₁/I₂ and the quantum yield decreased.     

Synthesis, Characterization, Optical Properties and Theoretical Studies of Novel Substituted Imidazo[1,5-a]pyridinyl 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives

Novel imidazo[1,5-a]pyridinyl 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and characterised by IR, ¹H NMR and HRMS.UV-vis absorption and fluorescence properties of these compounds in different solutions showed that the maximal emission wavelength was not significantly changed in different solvents; however, maximum absorption wavelength was blue-shifted with the increase of solvent polarity. Absorption λ_max and emission λ_max was less correlated with substituent groups on benzene rings. The calculated molecular orbital correlates well with their absorption.     

Spectrophotometric Characteristics of New Pyridylindolizine Derivatives Solutions

Three new pyridylindolizine derivatives, 1, 2, 3-tricarbometoxi-7-(4-pyridyl)-pyrrolo[1, 2-a]pyridine (I), 1,2-dicarboethoxy-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)-7-(4-pyridyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyridine (II) and its isomer 1,2-dicarboethoxy-3- (4-bromobenzoyl) -5- (2-pyridyl) -pyrrolo[1, 2-a]pyridine (III) have been investigated in different solutions by UV-VIS absorption, steady-state, and time-resolved fluorescence methods. The effects of the substituent and solvent on the spectroscopic properties have been demonstrated. The fluorescence decay data could be fitted to a single-exponential function. The lifetime values are higher in protic polar than in aprotic apolar solvents for compound I. In the case of compounds II and III the fluorescence intensities and lifetimes are very low, with the exception of III in aprotic solvents. The absorption and fluorescence properties of the compounds showed a solvent dependence.     

Effect of π-Extended Substituents on Photophysical Properties of BODIPY Dyes in Solutions

Four boron-dipyrrine (BODIPY) based dyes with π-extended substituents in 8-position of dipyrrin ligand have been synthesized and characterized. Photophysical properties of the obtained compounds have been investigated in different individual solvents. Deposits of solvent polarity and viscosity were evaluated. BODIPY with 8-biphenyl substituent was found to be the fluorescent molecular rotor in contrast to more extended substituents. The complex nature of solvent-solute interactions leads to the poor applicability of standard multiparameter approaches to BODIPY solvatochromic properties. Fluorescence intensity was found to increase in case of solvent polarity growth, it is not typical for BODIPY. Taking that into account the BODIPY with π-extended substituents could be used for fluorescence viscosity measurements, and as the fluorescent media polarity indicators in analytical chemistry and biochemistry.
