A benzophenone‐naphthalimide derivative as versatile photoinitiator of polymerization under near UV and visible lights

A benzophenone‐naphthalimide derivative (BPND) bearing tertiary amine groups has been developed as a high‐performance photoinitiator in combination with 2,4,6‐tris(trichloromethyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine or an iodonium salt for both the free radical polymerization (FRP) of acrylates and the cationic polymerization (CP) of epoxides upon exposure to near UV and visible LEDs (385–470 nm). BPND can even produce radicals without any added hydrogen donor. The photochemical mechanisms are studied by molecular orbital calculations, steady state photolysis, electron spin resonance spin trapping, fluorescence, cyclic voltammetry and laser flash photolysis techniques. These novel BPND based photoinitiating systems exhibit an efficiency higher than that of the well‐known camphorquinone‐based systems (FRP and CP) or comparable to that of bis(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoyl)‐phenylphosphineoxide (FRP at λ ≤ 455 nm). © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Design and preparation of a novel fluorescent naphthalimide derivative supramolecular self-assembly system and its bioimaging application

ABSTRACT

A novel fluorescent naphthalimide derivative gelator (N-18) was designed and characterised which could form a stable gel in 1,4-dioxane/H₂O (2/1, v/v), methyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethanol/H₂O (4/1, v/v), acetone/H₂O (2/1, v/v) and methanol. The self-assembly process of molecule N-18 in the five solvents was carefully investigated by the field emission scanning electron microscope, UV-vis absorption spectra, fluorescence emission spectra, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and water contact angle experiments. Different structures from microbelts to helical nanofibers were formed in the self-assembly process. Hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interaction were the mainly driving forces for the formation of gel. At the same time, the hydrophobic surface with the contact angles of 133°–142° was observed on the xerogel films N-18 from the above five solvents. Interestingly, molecule N-18 could be applied in bioimaging in a living cell.     

A Naphthalimide-Based Fluorescent Probe for the Detection and Imaging of Mercury Ions in Living Cells

The selective and efficient monitoring of mercury (Hg²⁺) contamination found in the environment and ecosystem has been carried out. Thus, a new 1,8-naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe NADP for the detection of Hg²⁺ based on a fluorescence enhancement strategy has been designed and synthesized. The NADP probe can detect Hg²⁺ with high selectivity and sensitivity and a low detection limit of 13 nm . The detection mechanism was based on a Hg²⁺-triggered deprotection reaction, resulting in a dramatic change in fluorescence from colorless to green at physiological pH. Most importantly, biological investigation has shown that the NADP probe can be successfully applied to the monitoring of Hg²⁺ in living cells and zebrafish with low cytotoxicity.

以萘酰亚胺结构为荧光发色团,设计开发了一种含C=C双键的、具有分子内电荷转移(ICT)效应的新型水溶性优化的次氯酸荧光探针3-(2-氰基丙烯酸乙酯基)-4-羟基-N-正丙基-1,8-萘酰亚胺(NAEC).添加次氯酸后,探针分子NAEC中的C=C双键被氧化,生成醛基,探针NAEC原有的ICT效应被破坏,产生荧光信号.经核磁、质谱、荧光发射光谱和UV-Vis吸收光谱对其结构和检测性能进行了研究.结果表明,在pH=7.4的N,N-二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)/磷酸缓冲盐溶液(PBS)(V∶V=1∶19)缓冲体系中,探针NAEC可在10s内完成对次氯酸的检测,荧光分析检测限为2.4nmol/L,斯托克斯位移为100nm;探针NAEC显示出较强的抗干扰性,能在其他活性氧、小分子生物硫醇及常见阴离子等22种干扰物存在下完成次氯酸的专一检测.同时,该探针分子的膜透性与生物相容性良好,具备较好的活体内源性ClO-荧光成像能力,在生物检测及环境监控等领域具有良好的应用前景.     

A highly sensitive naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe for detection of Cu2+ via selective hydrolysis reaction and its application in practical samples

A novel fluorescent probe CN3, containing 1,8-naphthalimide and picolinate units, was synthesized, and its structure was characterized by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H NMR), ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (C NMR), and mass spectroscopy techniques. The detection property of CN3 toward copper ions (Cu²⁺) has been investigated in ethanol–HEPES buffer (v/v = 1/1, pH = 7.40) solution by UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra. The results showed that CN3 had a highly selective and sensitive fluorescence quenching response to Cu²⁺, which was attributed to the generation of weak fluorescent N-ethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl-1,8- naphthalimide (compound 2) in polar ethanol–HEPES buffer (v/v = 1/1, pH = 7.40) via selective hydrolysis reaction. The detection of CN3 for Cu²⁺ was not influenced in the presence of other competing metal ions, and the limit of detection was as low as 50.0 nM. Therefore, the color of CN3 changed from colorless to yellowish when the Cu²⁺ was added. Furthermore, the fluorescent probe CN3 was utilized to detect Cu²⁺ in real water samples with fine performance.     

Long‐Lived Room‐Temperature Deep‐Red‐Emissive Intraligand Triplet Excited State of Naphthalimide in Cyclometalated IrIII Complexes and its Application in Triplet‐Triplet Annihilation‐Based Upconversion

Cyclometalated Ir^III complexes with acetylide ppy and bpy ligands were prepared (ppy=2‐phenylpyridine, bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine) in which naphthal ( Ir‐2 ) and naphthalimide (NI) were attached onto the ppy ( Ir‐3 ) and bpy ligands ( Ir‐4 ) through acetylide bonds. [Ir(ppy)₃] ( Ir‐1 ) was also prepared as a model complex. Room‐temperature phosphorescence was observed for the complexes; both neutral and cationic complexes Ir‐3 and Ir‐4 showed strong absorption in the visible range (ε=39600 M ^?1 cm^?1 at 402 nm and ε=25100 M ^?1 cm^?1 at 404 nm, respectively), long‐lived triplet excited states (τ_T=9.30 μs and 16.45 μs) and room‐temperature red emission (λ_em=640 nm, Φ_p=1.4 % and λ_em=627 nm, Φ_p=0.3 %; cf. Ir‐1 : ε=16600 M ^?1 cm^?1 at 382 nm, τ_em=1.16 μs, Φ_p=72.6 %). Ir‐3 was strongly phosphorescent in non‐polar solvent (i.e., toluene), but the emission was completely quenched in polar solvents (MeCN). Ir‐4 gave an opposite response to the solvent polarity, that is, stronger phosphorescence in polar solvents than in non‐polar solvents. Emission of Ir‐1 and Ir‐2 was not solvent‐polarity‐dependent. The T₁ excited states of Ir‐2 , Ir‐3 , and Ir‐4 were identified as mainly intraligand triplet excited states (³IL) by their small thermally induced Stokes shifts (ΔE_s), nanosecond time‐resolved transient difference absorption spectroscopy, and spin‐density analysis. The complexes were used as triplet photosensitizers for triplet‐triplet annihilation (TTA) upconversion and quantum yields of 7.1 % and 14.4 % were observed for Ir‐2 and Ir‐3 , respectively, whereas the upconversion was negligible for Ir‐1 and Ir‐4 . These results will be useful for designing visible‐light‐harvesting transition‐metal complexes and for their applications as triplet photosensitizers for photocatalysis, photovoltaics, TTA upconversion, etc.

Synthesis of novel poly(thioether‐naphthalimide)s that utilize hydrazine as the diamine

A series of bis(4‐thio‐1,8‐naphthalic anhydride)s and the corresponding bis(N‐amino naphthalimide) derivatives were synthesized from readily available compounds in high yield. A series of novel poly(thioether‐naphthalimide)s, which utilized hydrazine as the diamine, were synthesized by a one‐step polymerization reaction in m‐cresol. Poly(thioether‐naphthalimide)s with inherent viscosities of 0.57–1.73 dL/g were obtained. The polymers were soluble in CHCl₃ and were determined to have high molecular weights by means of gel permeation chromatographic analysis. They were soluble in m‐cresol and could be cast into tough films from m‐cresol solution. The glass‐transition temperature (T_g) values of the polyimides ranged from 320 to 353 °C. Polyimides from the bisphenol dianhydride, derived from 9,9‐bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)fluorene, did not show a clear transition in the DSC analysis. Degradation temperatures for 5% weight loss all occurred above 430 °C in nitrogen. The series of monomers were successfully copolymerized with each other. Monomers 6a and 7a , containing the bisphenol A moiety, could also be copolymerized with perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride. These copolymers had high T_g's and were thermally stable. The UV–vis absorption properties of the polymers were also examined. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 39: 1040–1050, 2001
