Responsive mechanism of three novel hypochlorous acid fluorescent probes and solvent effect on their sensing performance

Optical properties and responsive mechanisms of three newly synthesized fluorescent probes for hypochlorous acid(HOCl) are investigated by employing time-dependent density functional theory. The computational results show that the absorption and emission properties of these probes change obviously when they react with hypochlorous acid. It is found that the probe FHZ has the best performance according to the probing behavior. Moreover, the responsive mechanisms of the probes are studied by analyzing the distributions of molecular orbitals and charge transfer, which are shown as the photoninduced electron transfer(PET) for FHZ and the intramolecular charge transfer(ICT) for the other two probes. Specially,solvent effect on optical properties of the probe FHZ before and after reaction is studied within the polarizable continuum model(PCM). It is shown that performance of the probe depends crucially on the solvent polarity. Our computational results agree well with the experimental measurement, and provide information for design of efficient two-photon fluorescent probes.     

Interaction of metals with an organic semiconductor: Ag and In on PTCDA

The interaction of Ag and In with a thin film of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) was studied by near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). Upon Ag deposition on a PTCDA film of 20 nm thickness the relative intensities and lineshapes, as well as the angular dependence of the spectra remains unchanged, illustrating the formation of a chemically unreactive Ag/PTCDA interface. On the other hand, the adsorption of 0.3 nm In strongly decreases the intensity of the π^* resonances in C and O K-edge NEXAFS spectra. This is attributed to a strong charge transfer between In and PTCDA, leading to a redistribution of the charge in the molecule. However, the absence of a strong shift or new features and negligible dependence of peak intensities corresponding to π^* resonances on the In thickness indicate that the interaction between In and PTCDA is not accompanied by a covalent bond formation.     

A Quninolylthiazole Derivatives as an ICT-Based Fluorescent Probe of Hg(II) and its Application in Ratiometric Imaging in Live HeLa Cells

As a structural analogue of pyridylthiazole, 2-(2-benzothiazoyl)-phenylethynylquinoline (QBT) was designed as a fluorescent probe for Hg(II) based on an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. The compound was synthesized in three steps starting from 6-bromo-2-methylquinoline, with moderate yield. Corresponding studies on the optical properties of QBT indicate that changes in the fluorescence ratio of QBT in response to Hg(II) could be quantified based on dual-emission changes. More specifically, the emission spectrum of QBT before and after interactions with Hg(II) exhibited a remarkable red shift of about 120 nm, which is rarely reported in ICT-based fluorescent sensors. Finally, QBT was applied in the two-channel imaging of Hg(II) in live HeLa cells.

Responsive mechanism and molecular design of di-2-picolylamine-based two-photon fluorescent probes for zinc ions

The properties of one-photon absorption(OPA), emission and two-photon absorption(TPA) of a di-2-picolylaminebased zinc ion sensor are investigated by employing the density functional theory in combination with response functions.The responsive mechanism is explored. It is found that the calculated OPA and TPA properties are quite consistent with experimental data. Because the intra-molecular charge transfer(ICT) increases upon zinc ion binding, the TPA intensity is enhanced dramatically. According to the model sensor, we design a series of zinc ion probes which differ by conjugation center, acceptor and donor moieties. The properties of OPA, emission and TPA of the designed molecules are calculated at the same computational level. Our results demonstrate that the OPA and emission wavelengths of the designed probes have large red-shifts after zinc ions have been bound. Comparing with the model sensor, the TPA intensities of the designed probes are enhanced significantly and the absorption positions are red-shifted to longer wavelength range. Furthermore, the TPA intensity can be improved greatly upon zinc ion binding due to the increased ICT mechanism. These compounds are potential excellent candidates for two-photon fluorescent zinc ion probes.     

Fluorescence Characteristics and Inclusion of ICT Fluorescent Probe in Organized Assemblies

The inclusion behavior of an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) fluorescent probe namely; 2-[3-(4-dimethylamino-phenyl)-allylidene]-tetralone (DMAPT) in organized assemblies of aqueous micellar, α- and β-cyclodextrins (CDs) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) pockets have been studied using steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence characteristics (energy and intensity) of DMAPT are highly sensitive to the properties of the medium. The ICT maximum is strongly blue-shifted with a great enhancement of the fluorescence intensity upon addition of different surfactants, confirming the solubilization of DMAPT in the hydrophobic micellar assembly. In addition, the fluorescence of DMAPT is more sensitive to the nature and concentration of the added CDs. In α- or β-CD solutions, the fluorescence intensity increases strongly (by 6 and 23 orders of magnitude, respectively). Upon encapsulation in the CD cavity, the molecular flexibility decreases due to the geometrical restrictions of the CD nanocavity which decreases the non radiative transition via the free rotation around the single and/or double bonds of the butadiene bridge. This was supported by finding that the fluorescence quantum yield of DMAPT increases with increasing the viscosity of the medium. The binding constants of DMAPT with micelles, α- and β-CD solutions have been calculated and were found to be highly dependent on the nature of the used surfactants or CDs. The thermodynamic parameters have been also determined and the difference in magnitude between the formed α- and β-CD-DMAPT inclusion complexes is discussed on the basis of the cavity size. Finally, the binding constant of DMAPT with bovine serum albumin was calculated, indicating the relative stability of the DMAPT-BSA complex. The energy transfer distance between BSA as a donor and DMAPT as an acceptor was obtained following the fluorescence quenching of BSA by DMAPT, via resonance mechanism as a quencher.     

Quasi-one-dimensional K-O chain in PTCDA thin films: evidence from first-principles calculations

Using density functional theory calculations we have found that K atoms in a PTCDA (3,4:9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride) crystal form a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) K-O chain interacting with carboxylic oxygen of the terminal anhydride groups of PTCDA. The K-K distance in the chain (3.72 Angstrom) is commensurate to the periodicity of the organic semiconductor. We obtain that the K-O structure is stabilized by charge transfer from K to PTCDA molecules, forming prevalently ionic bonds: the electronic density of the chemistry induced gap states is essentially delocalized on the perylene core of PTCDA, while potassium appears spoiled of its charge. Band dispersion along the direction of molecular stack is evaluated to be 0.2 eV in pure PTCDA crystal and 0.5 eV in the K-doped system, confirming that the interaction occurs between different molecular planes.     

Design of perylene-diimides-based small-molecules semiconductors for organic solar cells

A series of perylene-diimide-based small molecules have been designed to explore their optical, electronic and charge transport properties as organic solar cell materials. The frontier molecular orbitals analysis has turned out that the vertical electronic transitions of absorption are characterised as intramolecular charge transfer between perylene diimide moieties and substituent aromatic groups. Our results suggest that the optical and electronic properties and reorganisation energies are affected by the introduction of different aromatic groups to these molecules. The calculation results showed that the designed molecules own the large longest wavelength of absorption spectrum, the oscillator strength and absorption region values. On the basis of the investigated results, the designed molecules could be used as solar cell material with intense broad absorption spectra. Furthermore, they are expected to be the promising candidates for hole and/or electron transport materials.
