4′-(对-胺苯基)-2,2′:6′,2′′-三联吡啶光物理性质

用稳态吸收和荧光光谱技术研究4′-(对-胺苯基)取代的三联吡啶配体(APT)分子在不同极性溶剂中的光谱和光物理性质. 在极性溶剂中APT分子存在着双荧光现象,它分别对应于局域激发态和分子内电荷转移态. APT分子的胺基N原子与醇类溶剂之间的氢键作用使该分子在质子性与非质子性溶剂中具有不同的线性关系. 此外,APT分子的三联吡啶部分与锌离子络合以及三联吡啶N4—N8—N14与甲醇分子形成氢键后,在低能区域出现新的吸收光谱带与荧光光谱带,表明在基态和激发态均形成了新的络合物. 时间分辨单光子计数技术测量的APT分子的荧光衰减过程,证明了APT分子的分子内电荷转移机制符合〝两态〞模型.     

吩噻嗪衍生物的分子内电荷转移激发态的特性

合成了一系列的N-10位取代的吩噻嗪给体受体化合物,这些受体包括苯、苯甲醚、吡啶、萘、苯乙酮和苯乙腈.研究了不同极性溶剂中这些化合物的分子内的光诱导电荷转移现象.稳态荧光的溶剂化效应和较大的Stokes位移清楚表明,仅仅后四种吩噻嗪衍生物的激发态存在着分子内的电荷转移,而苯和苯甲醚取代吩噻嗪因为受体部分氧化电势低,所以不具有这种特性.修正过的Lippert-Mataga公式被用来分析Stokes位移值,从而获得激发态偶极矩.较大的激发态偶极矩说明在激发态时这四种给体受体化合物体系内发生了完全的电子转移.氧化还原电势的数据表明基态时这四种衍生物给体受体部分的作用比较弱.分析荧光光谱获得的结果说明伴随着电荷转移这四种衍生物的激发态构型变化比较小,给体和受体间的扭转角在电荷转移后的激发态与在基态时相似.

瞬态荧光方法研究溶剂诱导的三苯胺衍生物的对称性破缺电荷转移动力学

在缺乏特征红外振动的情况下追踪具有四极或八极对称性分子的激发态对称性破缺电荷转移通常是很困难的.本文以一种具有八极对称性的三苯胺衍生物为研究对象,利用飞秒时间分辨瞬态荧光光谱方法获得发光跃迁偶极矩的演化动力学,进而实时表征了其溶剂诱导对称性破缺电荷转移的动力学过程.当该分子处于弱极性甲苯溶液中时,在激发态弛豫过程中其发射偶极矩变化较小;当处于较强极性的四氢呋喃溶液中时,其发射偶极矩在数皮秒内快速减小.在对比单体偶极分子的荧光动力学后,推断八极分子的发光态在强极性溶剂中经历溶剂诱导的结构变化,由激子耦合的八极对称性降低至激发定域的偶极对称性;而在较弱极性的溶剂中,其八极对称性在溶剂化稳定中得以较大程度的保持.     

溶剂极性对1，5-二羟基蒽醌分子双质子转移过程的影响

具有激发态分子内双质子转移特性的分子在荧光传感器、激光材料、生物分子探针等领域具有广泛的应用. 羟基蒽醌作为蒽醌类化合物是自然界中广泛存在且具有质子转移特性的次级代谢物,其衍生物已被广泛研究并成功应用于染料、免疫增强和抗癌药物. 近年来,1,5-二羟基蒽醌(1,5-DHAQ)作为一种具有两个分子内氢键的羟基蒽醌衍生物受到了广泛的关注. 本文采用飞秒瞬态吸收光谱结合含时密度泛函理论方法研究了溶剂极性对1,5-DHAQ分子激发态分子内双质子转移过程的影响. 1,5-DHAQ分子在甲苯、四氢呋喃和乙腈溶剂中的稳态荧光光谱表明,溶剂极性的改变对1,5-DHAQ的荧光峰位置产生了影响. 瞬态吸收光谱表明,溶剂极性的增大加快了质子转移的速率. 超快动力学拟合结果表明,溶剂极性的增大有助于加快1,5-DHAQ分子中的激发态分子内双质子转移过程. 此外,通过理论计算得到的势能曲线分析表明质子转移的能垒随着溶剂极性的增加而逐渐减小,从而促进1,5-DHAQ分子激发态分子内双质子转移过程的发生,这进一步验证和解释了实验结果. 本工作有助于开发和合成更稳定、高效的羟基蒽醌衍生物.

溶剂化对有机给、受体分子热激活延迟荧光的影响及调控EI北大核心CSCD

具有热激活延迟荧光(Thermally activated delayed fluorescence,TADF)特性的有机给、受体(Donor-acceptor,D-A)分子体系通过反向系间窜越捕获三重态激子,可以将内量子效率的理论上限提高到100%,因而受到极大关注。通常,具有分子内电荷转移特性的D-A体系可以通过构建扭曲的分子构象来减小单、三重态之间的能差ΔES-T,以确保反向系间窜越快速发生。当分子被激发后,若激发态构象中D-A的二面角更接近90°时,ΔES-T会更小,延迟荧光也会增强。然而,快速的溶剂化过程常常会影响激发态构象、分子内电荷转移过程、延迟荧光发射,这使得研究TADF分子发光过程更富有挑战。本文综述了本课题组近期在溶剂化对D-A体系延迟荧光的影响及调控方面所取得的初步进展。结果显示,强极性溶剂会导致非辐射弛豫增加,不利于TADF发射;改变溶剂粘度会影响激发态构象弛豫,从而可以实现对TADF的增强或减弱的调控。这些结果有助于理解溶剂化效应与构象弛豫、TADF之间的关系,为TADF分子的设计与合成提供指导。     

溶剂对香豆素343染料光谱性质和最低激发态偶极矩的影响

通过对香豆素343(C343)在不同溶剂中的稳态吸收光谱、稳态荧光光谱和时间分辨荧光光谱的分析,研究了溶剂对C343的光谱性质的影响,并获得了光谱特性与溶剂极性之间的依赖关系. 吸收光谱峰值的红移随着溶剂极性的增加而发生较小的变化. 然而,荧光光谱的峰值对溶剂的极性却很敏感,并随着溶剂极性参数f(ε,n)的增加呈线性增长. 这是由于C343激发态电荷分布的变化导致了它在极性溶剂中第一激发单重态能级的变化. 用溶剂效应测量法和量子化学计算方法确定了C343最低激发态的偶极矩,这两方法所得的结果一致. C343在不同溶剂中的时间分辨荧光光谱研究表明荧光寿命随着溶剂极性的增加而增加,即从甲苯溶液的3.09 ns线性地增加到水溶液中4.45 ns;荧光寿命延长的根源可归因于C343与氢键给体溶剂之间的分子间氢键相互作用.     

黄芩素激发态分子内质子转移耦合电荷转移反应的实验和理论研究

通过稳态光谱实验和量子化学计算相结合,研究了黄芩素激发态质子转移耦合电荷转移的反应. 实验和计算中S₁态吸收峰的缺失表明S₁态是暗态. S₁暗态导致在实验中观察不到黄芩素在乙醇溶液中的荧光峰,且固体的荧光峰很弱. 黄芩素分子的前线分子轨道和电荷差异密度表明S₁态是电荷转移态,然而S₂态是局域激发态. 计算的黄芩素分子的势能曲线在激发态只有一个稳定点,这表明了黄芩素激发态分子内质子转移的过程是一个无

应用英国Edinburgh FLS920P型稳态和时间分辨荧光光谱仪,对日落黄与诱惑红溶液进行荧光光谱的实验测量,得到日落黄荧光峰在420 nm,诱惑红荧光峰在432 nm。进一步,应用Gaussian 09W软件构建日落黄分子与诱惑红分子的基态和激发态的几何构型,基于密度泛函理论和含时密度泛函理论,完成对两种分子基态和激发态的优化和计算。优化过程中,采用MPWK泛函和6-31g(d)基组;计算过程中,采用B3LYP泛函和6-311g(d,p)基组。考虑到溶剂效应对计算结果的影响,因此在计算过程中引入了极化连续介质模型,最后计算得到日落黄的荧光峰在435 nm,与实验所得有3.57%的相对误差;计算得到诱惑红荧光峰在443 nm,与实验所得有2.55%的相对误差,两种分子荧光峰的相对误差都在允许范围之内,说明计算合理。在分析光谱特性时,发现两种分子荧光峰的产生与分子内电荷转移有关。     

Spectroscopic and theoretical evidence for the photoinduced twisted intramolecular charge transfer state formation in N,N-dimethylaminonaphthyl-(acrylo)-nitrile

The phenomenon of excited state twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) process in N,N-dimethylaminonaphthyl-(acrylo)-nitrile (DMANAN) has been reported on the basis of steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with quantum chemical calculations. The absorption and fluorescence characteristics of DMANAN in solvents of different polarity reveal the presence of a single species in the ground state which forms the intramolecular charge transfer state upon photoexcitation. The observed dual fluorescence is assigned to a high-energy emission from the locally excited or the Franck-Condon state and the red-shifted emission from the charge transfer (CT) state. In polar protic solvents, hydrogen-bonding interaction on CT emission has been established from the linear dependency of the position of the low-energy emission maxima on hydrogen-bonding parameter (α). The experimental findings have been correlated with the theoretical results based on TICT model obtained at density functional theory (DFT) level. The theoretical potential energy surface for the first excited state along both the donor and acceptor twist coordinates in the gas phase obtained by time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method and in polar solvent by time dependent density functional theory-polarized continuum model (TDDFT-PCM) method predicts well the experimental spectral properties.     

Cooperative enhancement of TPA in cruciform double-chain DSB derivation: a femtosecond transient absorption spectra study

Femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption (TA) spectra study was adopted to study the mechanism of the cooperative enhancement of two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section from the linear structure 1,4-di(4′-N,N-diphenylaminostyryl)benzene (DPA-DSB) to its cruciform double-chain dimer DPA-TSB. The results suggested that a non-emissive intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) state, ICT’, was present upon excitation in the dimer, which was absent in the monomer. The existence of this non-emissive state, indicating the enhancement of the intramolecular charge-transfer of the dimer, should be the reason for the cooperative enhancement of the TPA cross section of the dimer compared to the monomer.     

Ultrafast S1 and ICT state dynamics of a marine carotenoid probed by femtosecond one- and two-photon pump-probe spectroscopy

Ultrafast relaxation kinetics of fucoxanthin in polar and non-polar solvents have been studied by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Transient absorption associated with S₁ or intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited state has been observed following either one-photon excitation to the optically allowed S₂ state or two-photon excitation to the symmetry-forbidden S₁ state. The results suggest that the ICT state formed after excitation of fucoxanthin in a polar solvent is a distinct excited state from S₁.     

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.     

Solvatochromic and Fluorescence Behavior of Sulfisoxazole

The Fluorescence spectroscopic and solvatochromic behavior of Sulfisoxazole, a sulfa drug with antimicrobial activities, in various pure solvents of different polarity and hydrogen bonding capability is reported. The fluorescence emission spectrum of sulfisoxazole was found to be solvent polarity dependent, where a notable red shift in emission maximum was observed with increasing solvent polarity as well as hydrogen bonding capability. The effects of the latter two solvent parameters were quantitatively investigated using the methods of Lippert–Mataga and solvatochromic comparison method (SCM) that is based on the Kamlet-Taft equation. Particularly, the Lippert–Mataga method was applied to estimate the dipole moment of the excited state (μ_e) upon plotting Stokes shift versus solvent polarizability (Δf), where a value of 11.54 Debye was obtained. On the other hand, applying the multiple regression analysis to the SCM method revealed that solvent polarizability (π*) and hydrogen-bond donor capability (α) approximately equally stabilize sulfisoxazole in the excited state with minor destabilization contribution by the hydrogen-bond acceptor capability (β). These findings revealed that the excited state of sulfisoxazole is stabilized by polar solvents, indicating that this drug molecules exhibit larger dipole moment in the excited state than in the ground state, which in turn implies that a potential intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) occurs after excitation.     

Excitation-wavelength Dependent Fluorescence of Ethyl 5-(4-aminophenyl)-3-amino-2,4-dicyanobenzoate

The excitation wavelength dependence of the steady-state and time-resolved emission spectra of ethyl 5-(4-aminophenyl)-3-amino-2,4-dicyanobenzoate (EAADCy) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature has been examined. It is found that the ratio of the fluorescence intensity of the long-wavelength and short-wavelength fluorescence bands strongly depends on the excitation wavelength, whereas the wavelengths of the fluorescence excitation and fluorescence bands maxima are independent on the observation/excitation wavelengths. The dynamic Stokes shift of fluorophore in locally excited (LE) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states has been studied with a time resolution about 30 ps. The difference between Stokes shift in the LE and ICT states was attributed to the solvent response to the large photoinduced dipole moment of EAADCy in the fluorescent charge transfer state. On this base we can state that, the relaxation of the polar solvent molecules around the fluorophore was observed.     

Experimental and Theoretical Studies of the Spectroscopic Properties of Chalcone Derivatives

Newly synthesized, differently substituted chalcones (1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones) have been studied using steady-state and time-resolved techniques combined with quantum-chemical modelling. To explore spectroscopic structure - property relationships the substituent (acceptor moiety) was chosen according to systematic variation in the Hammett parameter. It was shown that photophysical properties of the studied donor-acceptor (D-A) molecules can be predicted in terms of a simple model from the properties of individual chromophores (composite-model of decoupled moieties: donor (D) and acceptor (A)). The results of spectroscopic measurements also indicate that for investigated D-A fluorophores in medium-polar solvent, the initially populated, locally excited (LE) state (where the fundamental role plays donor moiety (D*-A)) reacts further to produce intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state. Additionally, the experimental absorption (M _ge ) and fluorescence (M _eg ) transition dipole moments were calculated on the basis of spectroscopic data and compared with results of our quantum-chemical calculations. The absorption transition dipole moment was found to vary linearly with the Hammett substituent coefficient (σ).
