Mechano- and Photoresponsive Behavior of a Bis(cyanostyryl)benzene Fluorophore

The mechanoresponsive behavior and photochemical response of a new bis(cyanostyryl)benzene fluorophore (CSB-5) were investigated. Green fluorescence with λ_em,max of 507 nm was found for CSB-5 in chloroform solution, mirroring the behavior of a previously reported similar dye (CSB-6). Alternatively, crystalline samples of CSB-5 exhibited orange fluorescence with λ_em,max of 620 nm, attributable to excimer emission. Although the emission color change was not clearly noticeable by naked eye, CSB-5 exhibited mechanochromic luminescence, due to transformation into the amorphous state upon grinding the crystalline powder. Interestingly, rubbed films of CSB-5 prepared on glass substrates exhibited a pronounced emission color change from orange to green when exposed to UV light. This response is the result of a photochemical reaction that occurs in the amorphous state and which causes a decrease of the excimer emission sites so that the emission color changes from excimer to monomer. The crystalline material did not display such a photoinduced emission color change and the difference in photochemical reactivity between crystalline and amorphous states was exploited to pattern the emission color of rubbed films.     

Microhydration of Alanine in Gas Phase Studied by Quantum Chemical Method and ABEEMσπ/MM Fluctuating Charge Model

A fluctuating charge interaction potential function for alanine-water was constructed in the spirit of newly developed ABEEMσπ/MM(atom-bond electronegativity equalization method at the σπ level fused into molecular mechanics). The properties of gaseous neutral alanine-(H₂O)_n(n=1-7) clusters were systematically investigated by quantum mechanics(QM) and the constructed ABEEMσπ/MM potential, such as conformations, hydrogen bonds (H-bonds), interaction energies, charge distributions, and so on. The results of ABEEMσπ/MM model are in fair agreement with those of QM and available experimental data. For isolated alanine, compared with those of experimental structure, the average absolute deviations(AAD) of bond length and bond angle are 0.002 nm and 1.4°, respectively. For alanine-water clusters, the AAD of interaction energies and H-bond lengths are only 3.77 kJ/mol and 0.012 nm, respectively, compared to the results of MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ//MP2/6-311+G^** method. The ABEEMσπ charges fluctuate with the changing conformation of the system, and can accurately and reasonably reflect the interpolarization between water and alanine. The presented alanine-water potential function may provide a basis for further simulations on related aqueous solutions of biomolecules.

Mechanochromic luminescence switch of platinum(II) complexes with 5-trimethylsilylethynyl-2,2'-bipyridine

Planar platinum(II) complexes Pt(bpyC≡CSiMe(3))(C≡CC(6)H(4)R-4)(2) (R = H (1), Bu(t) (2)) with 5-trimethylsilylethynyl-22'-bipyridine show an unusual, reversible, and reproducible mechanical stimuli-responsive color and luminescence switch. When crystalline 1 or 2 is ground, bright yellow-green emitting is immediately converted to red luminescence with an emission red shift of 121-155 nm for 1 or 53-89 nm for 2. Meanwhile, the crystalline state is transformed to an amorphous phase that can be reverted to the original crystalline state by organic vapor adsorbing or heating, along with red luminescence turning back to yellow-green emitting. The reversibility and reproducibility of luminescence mechanochromic properties have been dynamically monitored by the variations in emission spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns. The drastic grinding-triggered emission red shift is likely involved in the formation of a dimer or an aggregate through Pt-Pt interaction, resulting in a conversion of the (3)MLCT/(3)LLCT emissive state in the crystalline state into the (3)MMLCT triplet state in the amorphous phase. Compared with the drastic grinding-triggered emission red shift in 1 (121-155 nm), the corresponding response shift in 2 (53-89 nm) is much smaller since a bulky tert-butyl in C≡CC(6)H(4)bu(t)-4 induces the planar platinum(II) molecules to stack through a longer Pt-Pt distance and less intermetallic contact compared with that in 1, as suggested from EXAFS studies.     

ESIPT-regulated Mechanoresponsive Luminescence Process byIntroducing Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond in NaphthalimideDerivatives#br#

Herein, two compounds, 4-2′-hydroxybenzylidenehydrazinyl-N-butyl-1,8-naphthalimide(BN-1) and 4-benzylidenehydra-zinyl-N-butyl-1,8-naphthalimide(BN-2), were synthesized to explore the hydrogen bonding effect on mechanoresponsive luminescent(MRL). The results showed that compound BN-1 exhibited strong emission in solution and solid-state compared with compound BN-2. After grinding, the emission intensity of compound BN-1 sharply decreased by as much as 15 times with an obvious red-shift from 552 nm to 577 nm. The control compound BN-2, by contrast, did not change so much before and after grinding. Single crystal analysis suggests that BN-1 molecule formed strong intramolecular interaction via ―N=N···H―O hydrogen bond with a distance of 0.2632 nm. An excited-state intramolecular proton transfer(ESIPT) based fluorophore featured this intramolecular hydrogen bond. The intramolecular hydrogen bond as well as other intermolecular interactions can rigidify the molecular conformation of compound BN-1 in solid-state, and thus suppress the nonradiative pathways, resulting in strong emission. These intra- and intermolecular interactions were destroyed by mechanical stimuli, accompanied by molecular conformation change that decreases the luminescence and blocks the ESIPT process. The MRL process was also demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. The molecular stacking mode changed from crystalline to a disordered amorphous state after grinding.     

有机荧光分子2-氰基-3-(3, 4-二甲氧基苯基)-2-丙烯酰胺的可逆压致变色和质子刺激响应性能

设计合成了3-芳基-2-腈基丙烯酰胺类有机发光小分子2-氰基-3-(3, 4-二甲氧基苯基)-2-丙烯酰胺(CDMPA)。经研究发现, CDMPA化合物具有明显的压致变色和酸致变色现象。在外力刺激下,化合物CDMPA荧光最大发射峰发生20 nm的红移,经过加热或蒸汽处理后可恢复初始状态。对样品研磨前后粉末的X射线衍射图谱及荧光寿命衰减曲线进行测试分析得出, CDMPA压致变色现象归因于分子构型由晶态到无定形态的转化。另外,在酸刺激下CDMPA发光颜色由蓝光红移至黄光,最大发射波长红移33 nm。经过二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)处理后可恢复到初始状态。由测试得到的红外光谱及分子轨道理论计算推测,酸致变色现象是由氨基取代基的质子化影响了CDMPA前线分子轨道引起的。本研究可使人们深入了解这种类型材料的多刺激响应发光机制,且显著的颜色变化性能使CDMPA在传感器和检测装置方面具有潜在的应用前景。

Vapor- and mechanical-grinding-triggered color and luminescence switches for bis(σ-fluorophenylacetylide) platinum(II) complexes

Square-planar bis(σ-fluorophenylacetylide) platinum(II) complexes [Pt(Me(3)SiC≡CbpyC≡C-SiMe(3))(C≡CC(6)H(4)F)(2)] (C≡CC(6)H(4)F-2 for 2, C≡CC(6)H(4)F-3 for 3, and C≡CC(6)H(4)F-4 for 4; Me(3)SiC≡CbpyC≡CSiMe(3)=5,5'-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-2,2'-bipyridine) were prepared and were characterized by spectroscopic and luminescence studies, and X-ray crystallography. The color and luminescence of crystalline complex 3 is specifically sensitive to CHCl(3) vapor to afford 140-180 nm of luminescence vapochromic redshift, which is useful for specific detection of CHCl(3) vapor. Complex 4 displays selective luminescence vapochromic properties to CH(2)Cl(2) and CHCl(3) vapors with a luminescence vapochromic shift response of ca. 150-200 nm. Interestingly, complexes 2-4 exhibit reversible, and naked-eye perceivable, mechanical stimuli-responsive color and luminescence changes. When solid species 2-4 are crushed gently or ground, the crystalline state is converted to an amorphous phase. Meanwhile, bright yellow-orange luminescence in the crystalline species is converted to dark red under UV light irradiation with 100-160 nm of mechanochromic shift response. A vapochromic or mechanochromic cycle was monitored by dynamic variations in emission spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The halohydrocarbon vapor- or mechanical-grinding-triggered color and luminescence switches are most likely correlated to a shorted intermolecular Pt-Pt distance as that revealed in vapochromic species 4·0.5 CH(2)Cl(2) by X-ray crystallography, thus leading to an increased contribution from intermolecular Pt-Pt interaction as demonstrated by DTF computational studies.     

Piezofluorochromic and Aggregation‐Induced‐Emission Compounds Containing Triphenylethylene and Tetraphenylethylene Moieties

New fluorescent compounds containing triphenylethylene and tetraphenylethylene moieties were synthesized, and their piezofluorochromic and aggregation‐induced emission behaviors were investigated. The results show that all compounds exhibit aggregation‐induced emission characteristics and only the crystalline compound possesses piezofluorochromic properties. The color, emission spectra, and morphological structures of the one piezofluorochromic compound exhibit reversibility upon grinding and annealing (or fuming) treatments. The piezofluorochromic behaviors are caused by a change between different modes of solid state molecular packing under external pressure. The single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the twisted conformation of the aggregation‐induced emission compound leads to the formation of metastable crystal lattice with cavity which is readily destroyed under external pressure. A possible mechanism of piezofluorochromic phenomenon has been proposed.     

Design of Stimuli-Responsive Phenothiazine Derivatives with Triplet-Related Dual Emission and High-Contrast Mechanochromism Guided by Polymorph Prediction

The development of high-contrast stimulus-responsive materials with excited triplet emission is of great significance for anti-counterfeiting, sensor and memory applications, but remains a challenge. Here, we report a strategy for the rational design of stimulus-responsive phenothiazine derivatives with triplet-related dual emissions and high-contrast mechanochromism guided by Polymorph Prediction. The designed phenothiazine derivatives have the characters of simple structures, a facile synthetic procedure, and a good crystalline nature. We found that the crystals of those derivatives with the potential to form both quasi-axial (ax) and quasi-equatorial (eq) conformations could undergo conformation transition and show significant emission difference (Δλ_em>100 nm) under mechanical force. Meanwhile, all these phenothiazine derivatives exhibit aggregation-induced emission and emit room-temperature phosphorescence or thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The significant luminescent change of these materials under different stimuli gives them promise for applications in encryption and anti-counterfeiting.     

取代基对咪唑[4,5-f]-1,10-邻菲罗啉Ru(Ⅱ)配合物的温敏性能影响

合成了3种具有不同取代基的咪唑[4, 5-f]-1,10-邻菲罗啉配体L¹~L³及其Ru(Ⅱ)配合物[Ru(L¹)₃]、[Ru(L²)₃]和[Ru(L³)₃],并进行了表征。这些Ru(Ⅱ)配合物在溶液中具有π→π^*跃迁吸收峰和金属到配体的电荷转移跃迁(MLCT)吸收峰,其发光峰位约为590 nm左右。将Ru(Ⅱ)配合物掺杂到聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)中得到相应的温敏漆。Ru(Ⅱ)配合物在PMMA膜中的吸收峰精细结构消失,且在长波方向663 nm附近有新的发射峰,表明Ru(Ⅱ)配合物在PMMA膜中有聚集。温度升高后,Ru(Ⅱ)配合物在PMMA膜中的发射峰强度逐渐减弱。分别计算了在30~60 ℃和60~90 ℃区间内非辐射活化能E_nr和温度灵敏度S_T。结果表明,具有苯基取代的咪唑[4, 5-f]-1,10-邻菲罗啉配体的[Ru(L¹)₃]配合物,比咪唑[4, 5-f]-1,10-邻菲罗啉Ru(Ⅱ)配合物[Ru(L²)₃]及烷基取代基的咪唑[4, 5-f]-1,10-邻菲罗啉Ru(Ⅱ)配合物[Ru(L³)₃]具有更高的温度灵敏度。

Luminescent Gold Nanoparticles with Size‐Independent Emission

Size‐independent emission has been widely observed for ultrasmall thiolated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) but our understanding of the photoluminescence mechanisms of noble metals on the nanoscale has remained limited. Herein, we report how the emission wavelength of a AuNP and the local binding geometry of a thiolate ligand (glutathione) on the AuNP are correlated, as these AuNPs emit at different wavelengths in spite of their identical size (ca. 2.5 nm). By using circular dichroism, X‐ray absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy, we found that a high Au?S coordination number (CN) and a high surface coverage resulted in strong Au^I–ligand charge transfer, a chiral conformation, and 600 nm emission, whereas a low Au?S CN and a low surface coverage led to weak charge transfer, an achiral conformation, and 810 nm emission. These two size‐independent emissions can be integrated into one single 2.5 nm AuNP by fine‐tuning of the surface coverage; a ratiometric pH response was then observed owing to strong energy transfer between two emission centers, opening up new possibilities for the design of ultrasmall ratiometric pH nanoindicators.
