The dynamics of the excited states of 1‐aminofluoren‐9‐one (1AF) and 1‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)‐fluoren‐9‐one (1DMAF) are investigated by using steady‐state absorption and fluorescence as well as subpicosecond time‐resolved absorption spectroscopic techniques. Following photoexcitation of 1AF, which exists in the intramolecular hydrogen‐bonded form in aprotic solvents, the excited‐state intramolecular proton‐transfer reaction is the only relaxation process observed in the excited singlet (S1) state. However, in protic solvents, the intramolecular hydrogen bond is disrupted in the excited state and an intermolecular hydrogen bond is formed with the solvent leading to reorganization of the hydrogen‐bond network structure of the solvent. The latter takes place in the timescale of the process of solvation dynamics. In the case of 1DMAF, the main relaxation pathway for the locally excited singlet, S1(LE), or S1(ICT) state is the configurational relaxation, via nearly barrierless twisting of the dimethylamino group to form the twisted intramolecular charge‐transfer, S1(TICT), state. A crossing between the excited‐state and ground‐state potential energy curves is responsible for the fast, radiationless deactivation and nonemissive character of the S1(TICT) state in polar solvents, both aprotic and protic. However, in viscous but strong hydrogen‐bond‐donating solvents, such as ethylene glycol and glycerol, crossing between the potential energy surfaces for the ground electronic state and the hydrogen‐bonded complex formed between the S1(TICT) state and the solvent is possibly avoided and the hydrogen‐bonded complex is weakly emissive. 相似文献

The effect of the catalytic moiety on the early‐time photodynamics of Ru/M (M=Pt or Pd) bimetallic photocatalysts is studied by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. In comparison to the Ru/Pd photocatalyst described earlier, the Ru/Pt analogue shows complex excited‐state dynamics with three distinct kinetic components ranging from sub‐ps to 102 ps, requiring a more sophisticated photophysical model than that developed earlier for the Ru/Pd complex. In the Pu/Pt photocatalyst, an additional lower‐lying excited state is proposed to quench the hot higher‐lying triplet metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer states. Furthermore, a strong excitation wavelength dependence on the population of excited states is observed for both the Ru/Pt and Ru/Pd complexes, indicating a non‐equilibrated distribution even on the 102 ps timescale. These insights shed light on the significant impact of the catalytic moiety on the fundamental early‐time photophysics of Ru‐based photocatalysts. 相似文献

The reorientational dynamics of the ionic liquid 1butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM]PF6) were studied over a wide range of temperatures by measurement of 13C spin–lattice relaxation rates and NOE factors. The reorientational dynamics were evaluated by performing fits to the experimental relaxation data. Thus, the overall reorientational motion was described by a Cole–Davidson spectral density with a Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann temperature dependence of the correlation times. The reorientational motion of the butyl chain was modelled by a combination of the latter model for the overall motion with a Bloembergen–Purcell–Pound spectral density and an Arrhenius temperature dependence for the internal motion. Except for C2 in the aromatic ring, an additional reduction of the spectral density by the Lipari–Szabo model had to be employed. This reduction is a consequence of fast molecular motions before the rotational diffusion process becomes effective. The C2 atom did not exhibit this reduction, because the librational motion of the corresponding C2? H vector is severely hindered due to hydrogen bonding with the hexafluorophosphate anion. The observed dynamic features of the [BMIM]+ cation confirm quantum‐chemical structures obtained in a former study. 相似文献

The singlet excited states of adenine oligomers, model systems widely used for the understanding of the interaction of ultraviolet radiation with DNA, are investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and time‐dependent (TD) DFT calculations. Fluorescence decays, fluorescence anisotropy decays, and time‐resolved fluorescence spectra are recorded from the femtosecond to the nanosecond timescales for single strand (dA)20 in aqueous solution. These experimental observations and, in particular, the comparison of the fluorescence behavior upon UVC and UVA excitation allow the identification of various types of electronic transitions with different energy and polarization. Calculations performed for up to five stacked 9‐methyladenines, taking into account the solvent, show that different excited states are responsible for the absorption in the UVC and UVA spectral domains. Independently of the number of bases, bright excitons may evolve toward two types of excited dimers having π–π* or charge‐transfer character, each one distinguished by its own geometry and spectroscopic signature. According to the picture arising from the joint experimental and theoretical investigation, UVC‐induced fluorescence contains contribution from 1) exciton states with a different degree of localization, decaying within a few ps, 2) “neutral” excited dimers decaying on the sub‐nanosecond timescale, being the dominant species, and 3) charge‐transfer states decaying on the nanosecond timescale. The majority of the photons emitted upon UVA excitation are related to charge‐transfer states. 相似文献

An all-inclusive investigation of the ultrafast excited state relaxation dynamics of a triphenylmethane derivative molecule, New Fuchsine (NF), using a combined approach of density functional theory (DFT), femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TAS), and photoluminescence spectroscopy is presented in this work. The DFT calculations confirmed the formation of twisted molecular structure in the excited state of NF in ethanol solution with bond rotation of ≈86°. TAS measurements of NF solution exhibited ultrafast ground state-recovery pathway via a conical intersection confirming an ultrafast structural reorientation. On the contrary, TAS measurements of NF thin-film exhibited a longer excited-state lifetime suggesting a hindered molecular twisted state formed as an intermediate step. Photophysical kinetic models are proposed to globally fit the fs-TAS data establishing the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state mediated ground state recovery for NF in solution and thin film, respectively. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence study of NF film provided a clear insight into the effect of rotational motion of phenyl rings in NF molecules over the TICT mediated emission. 相似文献

Water plays a pivotal role in structural stability of supramolecular pigment assemblies designed for natural light harvesting (for example, chlorosome antenna complex) as well as their artificial analogs. However, the dynamic role of water in the context of excite-state relaxation has not been explored till date, which we report here. Using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, we investigate the excited-state dynamics of two types of nano-scale assemblies of chlorophyll a with different structural motifs, rod-shaped and micellar assemblies, that depend on the water content. We show how water participates in excess energy dissipation by vibrational cooling of the non-thermally populated Qy band at different rates in different types of clusters but exhibits no polar solvation dynamics. For the micelles, we observe a bifurcation of stimulated emission line shape, whereas a positive-to-negative switching of differential absorption is observed for the rods; both these observations are correlated with their specific structural aspects. Density functional theory calculations reveal two possible stable ground state geometries of dimers, accounting for the bifurcation of line shape in micelles. Thus, our study elucidates water-mediated structure–function relationship within these pigment assemblies. 相似文献

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 (dDA) 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 dDA 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. 相似文献

A simple protocol to create nanofibers and ‐rings through a rational self‐assembly approach is described. Whereas the melamine–oligo(p‐phenylenevinylene) conjugate 1 a self‐aggregates to form ill‐defined nanostructures, conjugate 1 b , which possesses an amide group as an additional interactive site, self‐aggregates to form 1D nanofibers that induce gelation of the solvent. AFM and XRD studies have shown that dimerization through the melamine–melamine hydrogen‐bonding interaction occurs only for 1 b . Upon complexation with 1/3 equivalents of cyanuric acid (CA), conjugate 1 a provides well‐defined, ring‐shaped nanostructures at micromolar concentrations, which open to form fibrous assemblies at submillimolar concentrations and organogels in the millimolar concentration range. Apparently, the enhanced aggregation ability of 1 a by CA is a consequence of columnar organization of the resulting discotic complex 1 a 3 ? CA. In contrast, coaggregation of 1 b with CA does not provide well‐defined nanostructures, probably due to the interference of complementary hydrogen‐bonding interactions by the amide group. 相似文献

Using ultrafast fluorescence upconversion and mid‐infrared spectroscopy, we explore the role of hydrogen bonds in the photoinduced electron transfer (ET) between 9‐fluorenone (FLU) and the solvents trimethylamine (TEA) and dimethylamine (DEA). FLU shows hydrogen‐bond dynamics in the methanol solvent upon photoexcitation, and similar effects may be anticipated when using DEA, whereas no hydrogen bonds can occur in TEA. Photoexcitation of the electron‐acceptor dye molecule FLU with a 400 nm pump pulse induces ultrafast ET from the amine solvents, which is followed by 100 fs IR probe pulses as well as fluorescence upconversion, monitoring the time evolution of marker bands of the FLU S1 state and the FLU radical anion, and an overtone band of the amine solvent, marking the transient generation of the amine radical cation. A comparison of the experimentally determined forward charge‐separation and backward charge‐recombination rates for the FLU‐TEA and FLU‐DEA reaction systems with the driving‐force dependencies calculated for the forward and backward ET rates reveals that additional degrees of freedom determine the ET reaction dynamics for the FLU‐DEA system. We suggest that hydrogen bonding between the DEA molecules plays a key role in this behaviour. 相似文献

The fluctuations of orientation and induction interactions in solution and their impact on the broadening of absorption and fluorescence spectra are considered in terms of a bands‐of‐energy model. Also covered is the application of principles of thermodynamics and self‐organization of systems for calculation of solvatochromic shift, among them a component owing to the work on electronic polarization of solvent at the instant of electronic transition in the solute. The findings on solvatochromic shift and spectral broadening open the way to the calculation of solvent effects on the rate constant of nonradiative transitions. As demonstrated herein for 15 fluorophores, the novel theory of nonradiative decay of the intramolecular charge‐transfer excited states is carried out for dyes and organic compounds of different nature, both for polar and nonpolar media. 相似文献

The hydrogen‐bond and nonspecific interaction energies for 4‐aminophthalimide (4‐AP), often used as a probe, in the ground electronic and excited singlet states are determined using ab initio computational methods. It is shown that the 4‐AP molecule can form three relatively strong hydrogen bonds with trimethylamine (TMA) and triethylamine (TEA), which leads to the formation of S0‐complexes between the solute and solvent molecules. Only two of the hydrogen bonds with the amine group of 4‐AP change significantly their energies upon excitation and deactivation. The theoretical results are necessary to explain the spectral and unusual photophysical properties of 4‐AP in amine solutions. 相似文献

Phospholipids are studied by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the mid‐ and far‐infrared spectral ranges, thereby establishing the hydrogen‐bonding continuum as a function of the temperature. The well‐known mid‐infrared spectrum of the phospholipid layer clearly shows a temperature‐dependent phase transition. In the far‐infrared region (from 300 to 50 cm?1), an alternation of the interaction between the phospholipids and water molecules is found. The hydrogen‐bonding network ensemble and bound water molecules can be monitored in this spectral region. The lipid structure is found to strongly influence the intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interplay. Thus, studies in the far‐infrared region provide significant information—at the molecular level—about the intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding signature of self‐assembled phospholipids. 相似文献

Understanding the excited‐state properties of thioflavin‐T (ThT) has been of immense importance, because of its efficient amyloid‐sensing ability related to neurodegenerative disorders. The excited‐state dynamics of ThT is studied by using sub‐pico‐ and nanosecond time‐resolved transient absorption techniques as well as density functional theory (DFT)/time‐dependent DFT calculations. Barrierless twisting around the central C?C bond between two aromatic moieties is the dominant process that contributes to the ultrafast dynamics of the S1 state. The spectroscopic properties of the intramolecular charge‐transfer state are characterized for the first time. The energetics of the S0 and S1 states has also been correlated with the experimentally observed spectroscopic parameters and structural dynamics. A longer‐lived transient state populated with a very low yield has been characterized as the triplet state. 相似文献

Ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the solvation of LiI3 in four different solvents (water, methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile) are employed to investigate the molecular and electronic structure of the I3? ion in relation to X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Simulations show that hydrogen‐bond rearrangement in the solvation shell is coupled to intramolecular bond‐length asymmetry in the I3? ion. By a combination of charge analysis and I 4 d core‐level XPS measurements, the mechanism of the solvent‐induced distortions has been studied, and it has been concluded that charge localization mediates intermolecular interactions and intramolecular distortion. The approach involving a synergistic combination of theory and experiment probes the solvent‐dependent structure of the I3? ion, and the geometric structure has been correlated with the electronic structure. 相似文献

Coupled‐cluster calculations are used to compute the energy of conversion between the neutral and the zwitterionic forms of β‐carboline. The stability of the different species is discussed in terms of charge separation and aromatic character, which is related to magnetic criteria. By means of a linear response formalism the vertical excitation energies and oscillator strengths of the lowest singlet states of both structures as well as of the cationic species are determined. General agreement of the relative position and intensity of the different peaks with experimental data is achieved, but the overall spectra are slightly displaced because of solvent effects. 相似文献
