黄芩素激发态分子内质予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能垒的过程.     

Determination of the Critical Micelle Concentration of Surfactant in Aqueous Solution by Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer Probe DMABN

With p-N,N-dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMABN) as a probe, the variations of the intensity of its second fluorescence emission (I_a) and the corresponding characteristic wavelength (λ_a) with the surfactant concentration (c), here the examined surfactants (C₁₂TABr, SDS, C₁₂E₂₃, and C₁₂-3-C₁₂·2Br), were measured by Hitachi F4500 fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results showed that both the break points on the I_a–c curve and the minimum of the derivative variation corresponding to the λ_a–c curve agreed very well with the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the surfactant in aqueous solution as measured by surface tension technique. Due to strong aggregation of C₁₂-3-C₁₂·2Br in aqueous solution, the information about loose micellar structure could be obtained by its λ_a–c curve.     

Synthesis of 2-Azastilbene Derivatives with Intramolecular Charge Transfer

The condensation reaction of 2-cyanomethyl-5-nitropyridine with aromatic aldehydes has been carried out with the aim of preparing 2-azastilbene derivatives having intramolecular charge transfer. The yield of the condensation products can be increased if the reaction is carried out in the medium used for obtaining the starting 2-cyanomethyl-5-nitropyridine without separating or purifying it. The electronic absorption spectra of the compounds show a charge-transfer band, the energy of which increases and the intensity falls with lowering of the electron-donor properties of the substituent in the 4-position. Introduction of the heteroatom into the acceptor part when changing from the stilbene to the 2-azastilbene system is accompanied by a decrease in the energy and increase in the intensity of the charge-transfer electronic transition.     

吩噻嗪给体受体衍生物激发态的电荷转移

A series of N-bonded donor-acceptor derivatives of phenothiazine containing phenyl （PHPZ）, anisyl （ANPZ）, pyridyl （PYPZ）, naphthyl （NAPZ）, acetylphenyl （APPZ）, and cyanophenyl （CPPZ） as an electron acceptor have been synthesized. Their photophysical properties were investigated in solvents of different polarities by absorption and emission techniques. These studies clearly revealed the existence of an intramolecular charge transfer （ICT） excited state in the latter four compounds. The solvent dependent Stokes shift values were analyzed by the modified Lippert-Mataga equation to obtain the excited state dipole moment values. The large excited state dipole moment suggests that the full （or nearly full） electron transfer take place in the A-D systems. In the system of A-D phenothiazine derivatives, the transition dipole moments Mflu were determined mainly by direct interactions between the solvent-equilibrated fluorescence ^1CT state and ground state because of their lack of significant change with increase of the solvent polarity. The electron structure and molecular conformation of phenothiazine derivatives will be significantly changed with the increase of the electron affinity of the N-10 substituent.     

基于分子内电荷转移的阴离子比率荧光分子探针

Hydrogen-bonded Intramolecular Charge Transfer Excited State of Dimethylaminobenzophenone using Time Dependent Density FunctionalTheory

Density functional theory and time-dependent density-functional theory have been used to investigate the photophysical properties and relaxation dynamics of dimethylaminobenzophe-none (DMABP) and its hydrogen-bonded DMABP-MeOH dimer. It is found that, in non-polar aprotic solvent, the transitions from S₀ to S₁ and S₂ states of DMABP have both n→π^* and π→π^* characters, with the locally excited feature mainly located on the C=O group and the partial CT one characterized by electron transfer mainly from the dimethylaminophenyl group to the C=O group. But when the intermolecular hydrogen bond C=O…H-O is formed, the highly polar intramolecular charge transfer character switches over to the first excited state of DMABP-MeOH dimer and the energy difference between the two low-lying electronically excited states increases. To gain insight into the relaxation dynamics of DMABP and DMABP-MeOH dimer in the excited state, the potential energy curves for con-formational relaxation are calculated. The formation of twisted intramolecular charge trans-fer state via diffusive twisting motion of the dimethylamino/dimethylaminophenyl groups is found to be the major relaxation process. In addition, the decay of the S1 state of DMABP-MeOH dimer to the ground state, through nonradiative intermolecular hydrogen bond stretching vibrations, is facilitated by the formation of the hydrogen bond between DMABP and alcohols.     

激发态分子内质子转移荧光探针的研究进展

荧光探针凭借其选择性好、灵敏度高、响应时间快、易于操作和检测限低等优点得到了广泛的关注。 激发态分子内质子转移(ESIPT)化合物具有特殊的激发态光物理过程,其显著的光物理性质是有较高的荧光量子产率及大的斯托克斯位移。 对于荧光分子而言,较大的斯托克斯位移可以减少自吸收和由内滤效应产生的干扰,增强分子的耐光性,有利于荧光的发射。 本文对ESIPT荧光探针检测离子(包括金属阳离子和阴离子)、中性小分子和生物大分子的研究进展进行阐述,并对ESIPT荧光分子的存在问题和应用前景进行评述。     

Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer in Methyl and Methoxy Substituted Salicylic Acid

The excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes in 3‐methylsalicyclic acid (3‐MeSA) and 3‐methoxysalicyclic acid (3‐MeOSA) have been investigated in cyclohexane medium by emission spectroscopic techniques. The ESIPT process was characterized in 3‐MeSA from the large Stokes fluorescent band (455 nm), but it was suppressed by 3‐MeOSA in cyclohexane. The ESIPT process was found to be accelerated both in 3‐MeSA and 3‐MeOSA in the presence of a hydrogen bond accepting agent, triethylamine (TEA). Further, theoretical calculations were carried out at the ground and excited states to complement the experimental evidences.     

Restriction of Photoinduced Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer

An intensive investigation of structure–property relationships in the aggregation‐induced enhanced emission (AIEE) of luminescent compounds is essential for the rational design of highly emissive solid‐state materials. In the AIEE‐active compounds N,N′‐bis[3‐hydroxy‐4‐(2′‐benzothiazolyl)phenyl]isophthalamide and N,N′‐bis[3‐hydroxy‐4‐(2′‐benzothiazolyl)phenyl]‐5‐tert‐butylisophthalamide, fast photoinduced twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) of the enol excited state is found to be mainly responsible for the weak emission of their dilute solutions. The photoinduced TICT enol excited state is formed with a greatly distorted configuration, due to the large rotation about the C? N single bond. This facilitates nonradiative TICT decay from the normal enol excited state to the highly twisted enol excited state, rather than proton‐transfer decay to the keto excited state. In aggregates, photoinduced nonradiative deactivation of TICT is strongly prohibited, so that excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) becomes the dominant decay, and hence contributes greatly to the subsequent emission enhancement of the keto form. Molecular design and investigation of analogous single‐armed compounds further verifies this kind of AIEE mechanism.     

Excited‐State Proton Transfer and Intramolecular Charge Transfer in 1,3‐Diketone Molecules

The photophysical signature of the tautomeric species of the asymmetric (N,N‐dimethylanilino)‐1,3‐diketone molecule are investigated using approaches rooted in density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent DFT (TD‐DFT). In particular, since this molecule, in the excited state, can undergo proton transfer reactions coupled to intramolecular charge transfer events, the different radiative and nonradiative channels are investigated by making use of different density‐based indexes. The use of these tools, together with the analysis of both singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces, provide new insights into excited‐state reactivity allowing one to rationalize the experimental findings including different behavior of the molecule as a function of solvent polarity.     

Solid‐State Emission of the Anthracene‐o‐Carborane Dyad from the Twisted‐Intramolecular Charge Transfer in the Crystalline State

The emission process of the o ‐carborane dyad with anthracene originating from the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state in the crystalline state is described. The anthracene‐o ‐carborane dyad was synthesized and its optical properties were investigated. Initially, the dyad had aggregation‐ and crystallization‐induced emission enhancement (AIEE and CIEE) properties via the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state. Interestingly, the dyad presented the dual‐emissions assigned to both locally excited (LE) and ICT states in solution. From the mechanistic studies and computer calculations, it was indicated that the emission band from the ICT should be attributable to the TICT emission. Surprisingly, even in the crystalline state, the TICT emission was observed. It was proposed from that the compact sphere shape of o ‐carborane would allow for rotation even in the condensed state.     

基于对二烷基氨基苯甲酰苯胺分子内电荷转移的单糖比值法荧光受体

Two dual fluorescent receptors (1 and 2) for monosaccharides based on 4-dialky(alkyl=methyl and n-butyl) containing boronic acid group at the amido aniline were synthesized and their spectral properties were investigated. These receptors exhibited dual fluorescence with the long-wavelength band displaying strong solvent-polarity dependence, indicating the occurrence of the excited-state intramolecular charge transfer （ICT).With increasing pH value in aqueous solutions, the hybridization of the boron atom changed from sp^2 to sp^3, inducing a decrease in the total fluorescence quantum yield. The experimental results indicated that the anionic form of the boronate group acted as an electron donor and the benzanilide-like charge transfer was promoted upon hybridization change. In the presence of monosaccharides, the boronic acid in 1 and 2 changed from neutral to anionic form. The intensity of the locally excited (LE) state emission decreased in the presence of sugars while a slight increase in the intensity at the charge transfer (CT) emission occurred. Based on the change in the CT to LE intensity ratios of 1 and 2 due to sugar binding, ratiometric fluorescent assays for monosaccharide sensing were established.     

Intramolecular Charge Transfer Dual Fluorescence pH Sensing using p—Dibutylaminobenzoic Acid—β—cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex

The intramolecular charge transfer dual fluoescence of p-dibutylaminobenzoic acid-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex showed a substantially higher sensityivity aqueous solution pH variation when compared with that of p-dibutylaminobenzoic acid alone,which established a new principle ofr direct CT fluorescence sensing in aqueous in apueous solution by using the CT fluorophore-cyclodextrin inclusion complex.     

Control over Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer and Photoinduced Tautomerization: Influence of the Hydrogen‐Bond Geometry

The influence of H‐bond geometry on the dynamics of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and photoinduced tautomerization in a series of phenol‐quinoline compounds is investigated. Control over the proton donor–acceptor distance (d_DA) and dihedral angle between the proton donor–acceptor subunits is achieved by introducing methylene backbone straps of increasing lengths to link the phenol and quinoline. We demonstrate that a long d_DA correlates with a higher barrier for ESIPT, while a large dihedral angle opens highly efficient deactivation channels after ESIPT, preventing the formation of the fully relaxed tautomer photoproduct.

铜离子配位调控的TICT荧光化合物的双重荧光发射

设计合成了2个分子内扭转电荷转移(TICT)荧光体(1和2),铜离子的配位作用可开关其双重荧光发射。2在乙腈/水溶液(1∶1,V/V)中的双重荧光发射随着铜离子的加入以类似电子转移机制"开-关"形式猝灭,而1在铜离子与其计量比为1之内的乙腈/水溶液(1∶1,V/V)中,其双重荧光发射随着铜离子的加入逐渐猝灭;在计量比之后其长波长的TICT荧光发射随着铜离子的加入逐渐增强。即1的TICT荧光发射以"开-关-开"的机制被铜离子诱导。同时还获得了铜离子与1形成的配合物的晶体结构以及配合物的荧光性质。1H NMR波谱滴定实验表明荧光体的电荷转移程度是影响TICT发射的主要因素,1是一个新的且其TICT发射可以被铜离子调制为"开-关-开"的TICT荧光体。

环己烷中苯甲酰苯胺的双重荧光--分子内电荷转移的直接光谱证据

自从O Connell等［1］报道苯甲酰苯胺(BA)在EPA玻璃体中异常的长波长荧光发射特性以来, 已有众多学者尝试解释该"异常"荧光的发射态性质［2～12］. Kasha等［2～7］认为长波长荧光是质子转移(PT)和电荷转移(CT)两种激发态发射的叠加, 而Azumaya等［8］则认为发射态只包含分子内扭转电荷转移(TICT)态. 应该指出的是, 在上述研究中, 电荷转移态的指认并无有力的实验事实, 而主要是依据与具有CT双重荧光的对二甲氨基苯甲氰［13,14］的类比. 显然, 有关苯甲酰苯胺的长波长荧光发射态的准确性质仍待实验阐明     

Uncommon Intramolecular Charge Transfer Effect and Its Potential Application in OLED Emitters

Planarized intramolecular charge transfer(PLICT)state can facilitate the fluorescence process thanks to the relative excellent planarity.Recently,we have discovered that the excited state quinone-conformation induced planarization(ESQIP)occurring on tetraphenylpyrazine(TPP)based derivatives could furnish them with PLICT feature.Unlike to the well-known intramolecular charge transfer,strengthening the electron-donating nature on the donor(D)moiety did not impair the PLICT.The calculation results showed that planarization of the TPP based compounds scarcely accompanied with energy wastage while amount of energy was required for the torsion on geometries.In the polar solvents,the energy consumption for planarization could further decrease,but that for twisting structure would increase.To take advantage of the transformation of the frontier orbitals'distribution,the PLICT type materials would perform a potential application on organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs).
