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

基于2-(2'-羟基苯基)苯并噻唑的激发态分子内质子转移化合物的光物理行为研究

运用量子化学理论计算方法结合现代光谱技术对激发态分子内质子转移(Excited state intramolecular proton transfer,ESIPT)化合物DHBIA{N,N'-di[3-hydroxy-4-(2'-benzothiazole)phenyl]5-tert-butyl-isophthalic amide}的激发态光物理行为进行了深入研究.研究表明:该化合物的醇式激发态很容易发生分子内C—N单键的快速扭转,使分子构型发生大幅扭曲,并显现出明显的扭曲的分子内电荷转移(Twisted intramolecular charge transfer,TICT)特征,激发态的这种构型弛豫导致的非辐射失活与质子转移过程相竞争,导致了激发态质子转移效率的降低以及相应酮式结构发光物种的大幅减少,从而致使化合物稀溶液的发光极为微弱.这种TICT特征也正是导致该化合物具有聚集发光增强性质的重要原因之一.

不同位置取代的三氰基乙烯基蒽的光谱行为的研究

本文设计合成了两个典型的共轭的电子给体与电子受体(D-A)化合物:2-三氰基乙烯基蒽(2-TCVA)与9-三氰基乙烯基蒽(9-TCVA),通过极性效应,温度效应对它们基态与激发态的光谱行为进行了表征。研究表明:这两个化合物均表现出显著的电荷转移(CT)吸收峰,分子受光激发后,9-TCVA只能在非极性溶剂中产生分子内电荷转移(ICT)态荧光,而2-TCVA在极性与非极性溶剂中都能从ICT态发光。另外,温度效应显示冻结态下,2-TCVA只发射ICT态荧光,而9-TCVA既发射类蒽(anthracene-like)荧光又发射ICT态荧光,造成这一现象的主要原因可能是2-TCVA与9-TCVA分子平面性上的差异而引起分子内电荷转移相互作用不同所致。文中还利用了Bilot-Kawski公式估算了化合物2-TCVA在激发态与基态时偶极矩的差值为18.8D。

生色团连接的苯骈三氮唑衍生物的激发态分子内质子转移

用从头算和密度泛函理论研究了对硝基二苯乙烯作为生色团连接的2-(2-羟基-苯基)-苯骈三氮唑的衍生物2-羟基-5-[对硝基-二苯乙烯基-氧亚甲基]-苯基-(2H-苯骈三氮唑)(C1)和4′-硝基-3,4-二[2-羟基-(2H-苯骈三氮唑)-苄氧基]-二苯乙烯(C2)发生激发态分子内质子转移(ESIPT)的可能性.系统研究了C1和C2发生ESIPT的互变异构体的基态与激发态的性质变化,包括相关的键长、键角等结构参数,Mulliken电荷和偶极矩,前线轨道以及势能曲线.计算结果表明,对于C1来讲,酮式(keto)的基态(K)不存在稳定结构,因此发生基态分子内质子转移(GSIPT)可能性很小.酮式的激发态(K*)的氢键强度要远强于烯醇式(enol)的激发态(E*)的氢键强度.分子在光致激发后,质子供体所带负电荷减小而质子受体所带负电荷增加.在K*,HOMO→LUMO的电子跃迁导致电子密度从"酚环"向质子化杂环转移.E*→K*跃迁只需要克服较小的能垒(约41 kJ.mol-1).计算结果表明C1发生ESIPT的可能性很大.C2由于具有高能量,其具有基态的单质子转移特征的异构体EK(同时含烯醇E与酮K结构)、具有基态的双质子转移特征的异构体2K(含有双酮结构),以及具有双酮结构特征的激发态2K*均无法获得它们的稳定结构,因此,基态分子内单或双质子转移和激发态分子内双重质子转移发生的可能性极小.然而,由于双烯醇式的激发态(2E*)和EK的激发态(EK*)存在稳定结构,且2E*→EK*跃迁具有低能垒,因此C2有可能发生激发态分子内单重质子转移.本文进一步计算了两个分子的紫外-可见吸收光谱与荧光发射光谱,获得了具有较大斯托克位移的ESIPT的荧光发射峰.

Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer of New Diphenylethylene Derivatives Bearing Imino Group: A Combination of Experimental and Theoretical Investigation

In this paper, we described the synthesis and characterization of new diphenylethylene bearing imino group. We concentrated particularly on the investigation of the possibility of the excited state intramolecular charge transfer (ESIPT) of the new dyes experimentally and theoretically. The absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy of the dyes were determined in various solvents. The results showed that the maximal absorption wavelength of 2‐[(4′‐N,N‐dimethylamino‐diphenylethylene‐4‐ylimino)methyl]phenol ( C1 ) and 4‐[(4′‐N,N‐dimethylamino‐diphenylethylene‐4‐ylimino)methyl]phenol ( C2 ) exhibited almost independence on the solvent polarity. While as contrast, the maximal fluorescence wavelength of the dyes showed somewhat dependence on the solvent polarity. In particular, C1 displayed well‐separated dual fluorescence spectroscopy. The second fluorescence peak was characterized with an "abnormal" fluorescence emission wavelength in aprotic solvents with large Stokes shift (ca. 140 nm in THF), which was much more than normal Stokes shift (ca. 30 nm in THF). This emission spectroscopy could be assigned to ESIPT emission. On the other hand, the ESIPT fluorescence of C1 was much reduced or lost in the protic solvents. While, only normal fluorescence emission was detected in various solvents. Although the absorption maxima of C1 exhibited about 10 nm red‐shift with respect to those of C2 , the normal fluorescence maxima of C1 and C2 were almost identical in various solvents. These results suggested that C1 could undergo ESIPT, but C2 was not able to proceed ESIPT. The molecular geometry optimization of phototautomers in the ground electronic state (S₀) was carried out with HF method (Hartree‐Fock) and at DFT level (Density Functional Theory) using B3LYP both, while the CIS was employed to optimize the geometries of the first singlet excited state (S₁) of the phototautomers of C1 and C2 respectively. The properties of the ground state and the excited state of the phototautomers of C1 and C2 , including the geometrical parameter, the energy, the frontier orbits, the Mulliken charge and the dipole moment change were performed and compared completely. The data were analyzed further based on our experimental results. Furthermore, the absorption and fluorescence spectra were calculated in theory and compared with the measured ones. The rate constant of internal proton transfer (9.831×10¹¹ s^?1) of C1 was much lower than that of salicylidene methylamine ( C3 , 2.045×10¹⁵ s^?1), which was a typical Schiff base compound and was well demonstrated to undergo ESIPT easily under photoexcitation.     

Photoinduced Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer of New Schiff Base Derivatives with Extended Conjugated Chromophores: A Comprehensive Theoretical Survey

This paper presented comprehensive theoretical investigation of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of four new large Schiff base derivatives with extended conjugated chromophores. The properties of the ground state and the excited state of phototautomers of C1 to C4 [ C1 : 2‐(4′‐nitro‐stilbene‐4‐ylimino)methylphenol; C2 : 2‐(4′‐cyano‐stilbene‐4‐ylimino)methylphenol; C3 : 2‐(4′‐methoxyl‐stilbene‐4‐ylimino)methylphenol; C4 : 2‐(4′‐N,N‐diethylamino‐stilbene‐4‐ylimino)methylphenol], which included geometrical parameter, energy, rate constant, frontier orbit, Mulliken charge, dipole moment change, were studied by DFT (density functional theory), CIS (configuration interaction singles‐excitation), TDDFT (time‐dependent DFT) methods to analyze the effects of chromophore part on the occurrence of ESIPT and the role of substituent groups. The structural parameter calculation showed that the shorter R_{H? N} and larger R_{O? H} from enol to enol* form, and less twisted configuration in the excited state implied that these molecules could undergo ESIPT as excitation. Stable transition states and a low energy barrier were observed for C1 to C4 . This suggested that chromophore part increased some difficulty to undergo ESIPT for these molecules, while the possibility of occurrence of ESIPT was quite high. The negative ΔE^* (?9.808 and ?9.163 kJ/mol) of C1 and C2 and positive ΔE^* (0.599 and 1.029 kJ/mol) of C3 and C4 indicated that withdrawing substituent groups were favorable for the occurrence of ESIPT. The reaction rate constants of proton transfer of these compounds were calculated in the S₀ and S₁ states respectively, and the high rate constants of these compounds were observed at S₁ state. C1 even reached at 1.45×10¹⁵ s^?1 in the excited state, which is much closed to 2.05×10¹⁵ s^?1 of the parent moiety (salicylidene methylamine). Electron‐donating and electron‐withdrawing substituent groups had different effects on the electron density distribution of frontier orbits and Mulliken charges of the atoms, resulting in different dipole moment changes in enol*→keto* process. These differences in turn suggested that C1 and C2 had more ability to undergo ESIPT than C3 and C4 . The ultraviolet/visible absorption spectra, normal fluorescence emission spectra and ESIPT fluorescence emission spectra of these compounds were predicted in theory.     

Photo-excited intramolecular charge transfer and excited state intramolecular proton transfer behaviors for HPIBT system: A theoretical investigation

Given facile synthetic route and excellent photo stability, excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)-active luminous materials have gained more and more attention. Here, we focus on photo-induced excitation process and the ESIPT reaction process for the novel 5-benzothiazol-2-yl-6-hydroxy-2-methyl-isoindole-1,3-dione (HPIBT) molecule. On the level of chemical geometries and infrared spectra, we verify that O─H⋯N of HPIBT should be enhanced. We find that a proton is likely to be attracted by enhanced electronic densities around N, that is, charge transfer impetus ESIPT trend. Combing potential energy curves and searching for transition state, we clarify the ultrafast ESIPT mechanism of HPIBT due to a low barrier, which legitimately explains previous experimental characteristics.     

Different ESIPT Mechanisms for Angular‐Shaped Quinacridone in Toluene and Dimethyl Formamide (DMF) Solvents: A Theoretical Study

Adopting density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods, we investigat and present two different excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanisms of angular‐quinacridone (a‐QD) in both toluene and DMF,theoretically. Comparing the primary structural variations of a‐QD involved in the intramolecular hydrogen bond, we conclude that N1–H2⋯O3 should be strengthened in the S₁ state, which may facilitate the ESIPT process. Particularly, in toluene, the S₁‐state‐stable a‐QD enol* could not be located because of the non‐barrier ESIPT process. Concomitantly, infrared vibrational spectral analysis further verified the stability of the hydrogen bond. In addition, the role of charge–transfer interaction has been addressed under the frontier molecular orbitals (MOs), which depicts the nature of the electronic excited state and supports the ESIPT reaction. The potential energy curves according to variational N1–H2 coordinate demonstrates that the proton transfer process should occur spontaneously in toluene; however, in DMF, a low potential energy barrier of 0.493 kcal/mol is needed to complete the ESIPT reaction. Although this barrier of 0.493 kcal/mol is too low to make an important impact on the ESIPT reaction, just because of the existence of barrier, ESIPT mechanisms in toluene and DMF are different.

A DFT/TDDFT Investigation of Excited State Dynamical Mechanism of (E)‐1‐((2,2‐Diphenylhydrazono)methyl)naphthalen‐2‐ol

The excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism of a new compound (E )‐1‐((2,2‐diphenylhydrazono)methyl)naphthalen‐2‐ol ( EDMN ) sensor, reported and synthesized by Mukherjee et al . [Sensors Actuat. B‐Chem . 2014, 202 , 1190], is investigated in detail theoretically. The calculations on primary bond lengths, bond angles, and the corresponding infrared (IR) vibrational spectra and hydrogen‐bond energy involved in intramolecular hydrogen bond between the S₀ and S₁ states confirm that the intramolecular hydrogen bond is strengthened in the S₁ state, which reveals the tendency of ESIPT reaction. The fact that the experimental absorption and emission spectra are well reproduced demonstrates the rationality and effectiveness of the time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) level of theory we adopt here. Furthermore, intramolecular charge transfer based on the frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) gives indication of the ESIPT reaction. The constructed potential energy curves of both the S₀ and S₁ states while keeping the O─H distance of EDMN fixed at a series of values are used to illustrate the ESIPT process. The lower barrier of ~3.934 kcal/mol in the S₁ state potential energy curve (lower than the 8.254 kcal/mol in the S₀ state) provides the transfer mechanism.
