应用英国Edinburgh FLS920P稳态-瞬态荧光光谱仪,对互为同分异构体的胭脂红、苋菜红分子的吸收光谱和荧光光谱实验检测,得到二者的光谱特性参数,并进行对比。分别采用密度泛函理论（DFT）和含时密度泛函理论（TD-DFT）对这两种分子的基态和激发态结构进行优化,将所得基态分子构型进行频率计算,结果显示均无虚频存在,进而比较两分子构型在不同能态下的差异。在此基础上,应用TD-DFT并结合极化连续介质模型（PCM）在6-311++G(d, p)水平上分别计算二者的吸收光谱和荧光光谱,对两种分子的发光机制、荧光光谱特性差异与分子结构的关系进行了分析。结果表明,两种分子的基态结构均为非平面,它们中的两个萘环不共面,存在一定的夹角;苋菜红含有分子内氢键,且氢键所在萘环的平面性要优于胭脂红分子对应的萘环部分;激发态时二者各自的两个萘环均共平面。量子化学计算得到的光谱理论值与实验结果较为吻合,说明优化所得胭脂红与苋菜红的分子构型基本合理。与苋菜红相比,胭脂红右侧萘环结构的平面性稍差,分子从激发态跃迁回到基态经历了更多的振动和转动,损耗了更多的能量,导致用来产生荧光光子的能量减少,因此,胭脂红的荧光发射波长更长。本文首次得到胭脂红、苋菜红分子基态与激发态下的分子结构信息,并找出二者光谱特性差异的原因,结果可为研究同分异构体分子的光谱特性与分子结构的关系提供参考。

激发态质子转移分子2-（2′-羟基苯基）苯并噻唑在不同溶剂中的光谱特性

观测了2-（2′-羟基苯基）苯并噻唑（HBT）在不同极性溶剂中的吸收光谱和荧光光谱,详细研究了溶剂极性对HBT发生激发态分子内质子转移（ESWT）影响的机制。吸收光谱表明在常态条件下,HBT在各种溶剂中都以烯醇式构型和酮式构型共同存在,但以烯醇式构型占绝大多数。荧光光谱表明在纯环己烷溶剂中,HBT被紫外光激发时,绝大多数烯醇式构型发生ESIPPT转变为酮式构型,分子的ESIPT效率最大。在含有乙醇的极性溶剂中,HBT烯醇式会形成溶剂化的烯醇式构型,阻碍分子发生ESIPT反应。溶剂中乙醇含量愈多极性愈强,溶剂化烯醇式的成份就愈多,HBT的ESIPT效率就愈低。以400nm光激发HBT溶液时,在510nm处发现酮式构型荧光,从而确认了400nm处的弱吸收是酮式构型的吸收;且在436和456nm处还有新的荧光峰,分析其可能来源于酮式构型去质子化阴离子的发射。

A DFT/TD-DFT study of effect of different substituent on ESIPT fluorescence features of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-chloro- methylthiazole derivatives

Based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), the effects of substituent on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process and photophysical properties of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-chloromethylthiazole (HCT) are studied. The electron-donating group (CH₃, OH) and electron-withdrawing group (CF₃, CHO) are introduced to analyze the changes of intramolecular H-bond, the frontier molecular orbitals, the absorption/fluorescence spectra, and the energy barrier of ESIPT process. The calculation results indicate that electron-donating group strengthens the intramolecular H-bond in the S₁ state, and leads to an easier ESIPT process. The electron-withdrawing group weakens the corresponding H-bond and makes ESIPT process a little harder. Different substituents also affect the photophysical properties of HCT. The electron-withdrawing group (CF₃, CHO) has a little effect on electronic spectra. The electron-donating group (CH₃, OH) red-shifts both the absorption and fluorescence emission peaks of HCT, respectively, which causes the Stokes shift to increase.

All-optical switchings of 3-hydroxyflavone in different solvents

3-hydroxyflavone （3-HF） is an organic molecule with an excited-stated intramolecular proton transfer （ESIPT） effect. All-optical switchings and beam deflections of 3-HF in three kinds of solvents （cyclohexane, ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide） have been investigated by using the third-harmonic generation （355 nm） of a mode-locked Nd：YAG laser as a pump beam and a continuous-wave （cw） He-Ne laser （632.8 nm） as a probe beam. The nonlinear refractive indices of 3-HF in the three different solvents are determined by using the Z-scan technique under an ultraviolet （UV） pump beam at a wavelength of 355 nm. It has been found that the optical switching and beam deflection effects result from the change in refractive index of 3-HF under the irradiation of the pump beam. On the basis of the analyses of absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra, we conclude that the change in refractive index of 3-HF is due to not the thermal effect but the ESIPT effect of 3-HF under the pump beam. As the ESIPT is exceedingly fast, 3-HF might be an excellent candidate for high-speed optical switching.     

Interaction of the excited state intramolecular proton transfer probe 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid with poly N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone polymer in water: An insight into the water structure in the binding region

The enhancement of the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) emission of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (3HNA) in presence of poly N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (PVP) has been investigated by time resolved fluorescence and anisotropy measurement. In other water soluble polymers and monomers there is no enhancement of the ESIPT emission of 3HNA. The microenvironment of the probe in PVP-water mixture is investigated by comparing the ESIPT emission of 3HNA in mixed solvents of acetonitrile-toluene. The anisotropy, rotational correlation time and the blue shift observed in the ESIPT emission in PVP-water mixture have been ascribed to both the polarity and the motional restriction of the probe imposed by the bound water region of PVP.     

Excited state intramolecular proton transfer mechanism of o-hydroxynaphthyl phenanthroimidazole

By utilizing the density functional theory(DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory(TDDFT), the excited state intramolecular proton transfer(ESIPT) mechanism of o-hydroxynaphthyl phenanthroimidazole(HNPI) is studied in detail. Upon photo is excited, the intramolecular hydrogen bond is obviously enhanced in the S_1 state, which thus promotes the ESIPT process. Hydrogen bond is shown to be strengthened via comparing the molecular structures and the infrared vibration spectra of the S_0 and S_1 states. Through analyzing the frontier molecular orbitals, we can conclude that the excitation is a type of the intramolecular charge transfer excitation, which also indicates the trend of proton transfer in S_1 state. The vertical excitation based on TDDFT calculation can effectively repeat the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the experiment. However, the fluorescence spectrum of normal structure, which is similar to the spectrum of isomer structure is not detected in the experiment. It can be concluded that the fluorescence measured in the experiment is attributed to both structures. In addition, by analyzing the potential energy curves(PECs) calculated by the B3 LYP functional method, it can be derived that since the molecule to cross the potential barrier in the S_1 state is smaller than in the S_0 state and the reverse proton transfer process in the S_1 state is more difficult than in the S_0 state, the ESIPT occurs in the S_1 state.     

Photophysical Properties of Some Flavones Probes in Homogeneous Media

Photophysical properties of five hydroxyflavones (HF) (some typical models of flavonols), (3 - HF, 6 - HF, 7-HF, 3, 6 - diHF and 3, 7 - diHF) were studied in homogeneous media by means of UV–vis and steady-state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopies. Their absorption and fluorescence characteristics based on the flavonols structure are presented and discussed. It was found that the fluorescence of the flavonols depends on the nature of the solvent and on their molecular structure, especially on the position and the number of the -OH groups of the substituted phenyl ring. Attention is paid to the number of the -OH groups that influence the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. The fluorescence quantum yield and the lifetime of the flavonols in heterogeneous media have been also determined. The results are discussed with relevance to the flavonols as sensitive fluorescence probe and to their microenvironments in the systems of biological interest and especially in a typical protein environment.     

ESIPT reaction starting from S2 and S3 singlet states in 3-hydroxyflavone

Spectra fluorescence at excitation of emission within spectral intervals of S₃, S₂ and S₁ bands of absorption, and excitation at registration of fluorescence at maxima of blue and green bands of emission have been studied in 3-hydroxyflavone solution. A possibility of ESIPT reaction starting from S₃ and S₂ states of parent 3HF molecule was shown for the first time follows from observations of differences in excitation spectra of normal and tautomer forms of 3HF, and from different ratios of these forms intensities upon excitation in different ranges of UV spectra of absorption.     

The ESIPT mechanism of dibenzimidazolo diimine sensor: a detailed TDDFT study

Spectroscopic investigations on excited state proton transfer of a new dibenzimidazolo diimine sensor (DDS) were reported by Goswami et al. recently. In our present work, based on the time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), the excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism of DDS is studied theoretically. Our calculated results reproduced absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of the previous experiment, which verifies that the TDDFT method we adopted is reasonable and effective. The calculated dominating bond lengths and bond angles involved in hydrogen bond demonstrate that the intramolecular hydrogen bond is strengthened. In addition, the phenomenon of hydrogen bond reinforce has also been testified based on infrared vibrational spectra. Further, hydrogen bonding strengthening manifests the tendency of ESIPT process. The calculated frontier molecular orbitals further demonstrate that the excited state proton transfer is likely to occur. According to the calculated results of potential energy curves along O–H coordinate, the potential energy barrier of about 5.02 kcal/mol is discovered in the S₀ state. However, a lower potential energy barrier of 0.195 kcal/mol is found in the S₁ state, which demonstrates that the proton transfer process is more likely to happen in the S₁ state than the S₀ state. In other words, the proton transfer reaction can be facilitated based on the photo‐excitation effectively. Moreover, the phenomenon of fluorescence quenching could be explained based on the ESIPT mechanism. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The effect of benzo‐annelation on intermolecular hydrogen bond and proton transfer of 2‐methyl‐3‐hydroxy‐4(1H)‐quinolone in methanol: A TD‐DFT study

Excited‐state intermolecular or intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction has important potential applications in biological probes. In this paper, the effect of benzo‐annelation on intermolecular hydrogen bond and proton transfer reaction of the 2‐methyl‐3‐hydroxy‐4(1H)‐quinolone (MQ) dye in methanol solvent is investigated by the density functional theory and time‐dependent density functional theory approaches. Both the primary structure parameters and infrared vibrational spectra analysis of MQ and its benzo‐analogue 2‐methyl‐3‐hydroxy‐4(1H)‐benzo‐quinolone (MBQ) show that the intermolecular hydrogen bond O₁―H₂?O₃ significantly strengthens in the excited state, whereas another intermolecular hydrogen bond O₃―H₄?O₅ weakens slightly. Simulated electron absorption and fluorescence spectra are agreement with the experimental data. The noncovalent interaction analysis displays that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of MQ are obviously stronger than that of MBQ. Additionally, the energy profile analysis via the proton transfer reaction pathway illustrates that the ESIPT reaction of MBQ is relatively harder than that of MQ. Therefore, the effect of benzo‐annelation of the MQ dye weakens the intermolecular hydrogen bond and relatively inhibits the proton transfer reaction.
