以β-二酮连接的含生色团丙烯酰类单体及其饱和模型化合物的荧光行为

通过合成一系列同一分子中既含有给电子性荧光生色团又含缺电子性碳碳双键的烯类单体, 发现这类单体在相同生色团浓度下的荧光强度均明显低于相应的饱和模型化合物或聚合物1～3]. 这种现象称为荧光结构自猝灭效应(SSQE), 以区别于浓度自猝灭现象. 对于电子状态与之相反的单体, 即含受电子性荧光生色团的乙烯基醚类单体, 也观察到了SSQE4,5]. 进一步的研究结果表明, SSQE是光照条件下分子内电子给受体之间电荷转移作用的结果, 分子中电子给受体间的间隔基长度和溶剂的性质等都对SSQE有显著的影响6]. 以往合成的含给生色团的丙烯酰类单体, 其电子给受体间是通过饱和脂肪链相连, 当生色团和受电子性碳碳双键之间以β-二酮结构相连时, 这类单体的荧光性质如何, 是否发生SSQE是我们的关注所在. 另一方面, β-二酮类化合物在一定波长光照射条件下, 常发生烯醇式与酮式的互变异构化. 虽然已有许多文献报道有关烯醇式-酮式互变异构过程中各种光谱的变化以及用核磁、红外、紫外等光谱手段研究烯醇式-酮式互变异构动力学, 但有关β-二酮类化合物互变异构过程中荧光光谱的变化的报道却很少7～11]. 本文合成了以β-二酮连接的含二甲氨基苯基生色团的烯类单体, 1-(4-二甲氨基苯基)-4-甲基-4-戊烯-1,3-二酮(DMPDK)及其饱和模型化合物1-(4-二甲氨基苯基)-1,3-丁二酮(DMBDK), 研究了其光谱性质及光致互变异构行为.

Fluorescence Behavior of a β-Diketone-bridged Chromophore-containing Acrylic Monomer and Its Model Compound

A β-diketone-bridged chromophore-containing acrylic monomer, 1-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-4-methyl-4-pentene-1,3-diketone(DMPDK) and its saturated model compound, 1-(4-dimethyl aminophenyl)-1,3-butanedione(DMBDK) were synthesized and investigated by spectroscopy. It was found that the fluorescence intensity of DMPDK was much lower than that of DMBDK at the same concentration, which indicates that DMPDK, a β-diketone-bridged acrylic monomer having chromophore moiety, also showed fluorescence structural self-quenching effect(SSQE). Photo-induced tautomerization of DMBDK in acetonitrile was studied by means of UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results imply that the fluorescence method is capable of monitoring tautomerization of some fluorescent β-diketones.
