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。     

溶剂极性对D-A-D型延迟荧光分子电荷转移激发态的调控

Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) based Zn2+ fluorescent probe: transformation of turn-on sensors into ratiometric ones with dual emission in acetonitrile

Ratiometric sensors for the detection of metal ions have gained increasing attention due to its self-calibration tendency for the environmental effects. In this context, we have synthesized and characterized a dual emitting ratiometric Zn(2+) probe (1) having acridinedione as a fluorophore and N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (BPA) as a receptor unit. Existence of two different conformation of the molecule with photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from amine moiety to the acridinedione fluorophore leads to dual emission, namely locally excited (425 nm) and anomalous charge transfer emission (560 nm) in aprotic solvents. In the presence of one equivalent of Zn(2+), a 15-fold fluorescence enhancement in the locally excited state together with the quenching of charge transfer emission is observed. The intensity changes at the two emission peaks allow a ratiometric detection of Zn(2+) under PET signaling mechanism. The utilization of PET process for the ratiometric fluorescence change will further signify the importance of PET mechanism in sensing action. Addition of Zn(2+) to 1 in acetonitrile/water mixtures shows a single emission peak with fluorescence enhancement.     

Unusual Solvatofluorochromism of the Asymmetrically Substituted Aromatic Acetylene Derivative CNAacDMA**

The photophysical properties of the newly synthesized unsymmetrically substituted aromatic acetylene derivative 9-(2-(4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl)ethynyl)anthracene-10-carbonitrile (CNAacDMA) were investigated with the steady-state and time-resolved fluorometry. In saturated hydrocarbon solvents, only fluorescence from a locally-excited state (LE) is recorded. In more polar solvents however, excitation of this dye leads to a charge transfer state (CT). In moderate polar solvents (ϵ=4–8) dual emission is observed as a result of competition between structural change and intramolecular charge transfer in the excited state. In polar solvents only one emission band, at shorter wavelength than CT emission, is observed, indicating a bidirectional solvatofluorochromism.

Fluorescence characteristics of protonated form of 6-hydroxyquinoline in Nafion film

Fluorescence characteristics of 6-hydroxyquinoline (6-HQ) have been studied at room temperature in Nafion(R) film by steady state and nano-second time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectrum exhibits single emission band corresponding to the protonated form of 6-HQ in this matrix. However, the decay fits with two or three exponential functions depending on the emission wavelength monitored. At blue edge of the emission, the decay fits to three-exponential function, whereas at longer wavelengths, the decay fits to bi-exponential function. Two tentative mechanisms have been proposed to explain the experimental data, viz. a closely lying charge transfer state (CT) or an excited state proton transfer (ESPT) process. The photophysical parameters appear to be sensitive to the change in microstructure due to swelling of the membrane by the solvents.     

Excited-state intramolecular charge transfer in 9-aminoacridine derivative

A new fluorochromic dye was obtained from the reaction of 9-aminoacridine with ethyl-2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylate. It displays complex fluorescence that is ascribed to normal emission from the acridine chromophore in addition to excited-state intramolecular charge transfer (ESICT) formed upon light excitation. The analysis of the fluorescence decays in different solvents reveals two short-lived components in the range of 80-450 ps and 0.7-3.2 ns, ascribed to the formation and decay of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state, in addition to a third component of about 9.0 ns, which is related to the normal emission from the acridine singlet excited state, probably in an enol-imine tautomeric form. The ICT emission is readily quenched by water addition to polar solvents, and this effect is ascribed to changes in the keto-amine/enol-imine equilibrium of this fluorochromic dye.     

Single and multi-exciton dynamics in aqueous protochlorophyllide aggregates

In plants, the oxidoreductase enzyme POR reduces protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) into chlorophyllide (Chlide), using NADPH as a cofactor. The reduction involves the transfer of two electrons and two protons to the C17═C18 double bond of Pchlide, and the reaction is initiated by the absorption of light by Pchlide itself. In this work we have studied the excited state dynamics of Pchlide dissolved in water, where it forms excitonically coupled aggregates, by ultrafast time-resolved transient absorption and fluorescence experiments performed in the 480-720 nm visible region and in the 1780-1590 cm(-1) mid-IR region. The ground state visible absorption spectrum of aqueous Pchlide red shifts and broadens in comparison to the spectrum of monomeric Pchlide in organic solvents. The population of the one-exciton state occurs at low excitation densities, of <1 photon per aggregate. We characterized the multiexciton manifolds spectra by measuring the absorption difference spectra at increasingly higher photon densities. The multiexciton states are characterized by blue-shifted stimulated emission and red-shifted excited state absorption in comparison to those of the one-exciton manifold. The relaxation dynamics of the multiexciton manifolds into the one-exciton manifold is found to occur in ～10 ps. This surprisingly slow rate we suggest is due to the intrinsic charge transfer character of the PChlide excited state that leads to solvation, stabilizing the CT state, and subsequent charge recombination, which limits the exciton relaxation.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Spectroscopic Property and Redox Behavior of Zinc(Ⅱ) Complexes Containing Oligoaniline-functionalized Terpyridine Ligands

Two novel mono-nuclear zinc(Ⅱ) complexes with oligoaniline-functionalized terpyridine ligands have been synthesized and verified by 1H-NMR,13C-NMR,Elemental Analysis (EA) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The UV-vis spectra show the ligand-centered (LC) π-π* transitions and intra-ligand charge transfer (1ILCT) transitions,and the 1ILCT band red-shifts with the increasing number of aromatic amine groups in the ligands. Complex [Zn(L1)2](PF6)2 with an aromatic amine group in ligand shows a strong emission peak at 523 nm in the MeCN solution at 293 K and a blue-shifted band at 517 nm in the alcoholic glass at 77 K. However,for complex [Zn(L2)2](PF6)2 containing aniline dimer modified ligand,no apparent emission can be observed in the MeCN solution at room temperature due to a PET non-radiative decay pathway. Both of them show multiplicate redox processes based on oligoaniline and terpyridine units. The shifts of redox potentials also reflect the D-A interactions between the oligoaniline units and [Zn(TPY)2]2+ core.     

Photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) reaction in trans-methyl p-(dimethylamino) cinnamate: A combined fluorescence measurement and quantum chemical calculations

The photophysical behaviour of trans-methyl p-(dimethylamino) cinnamate (t-MDMAC) donor–acceptor system has been investigated by steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The molecule t-MDMAC shows an emission from the locally excited state in non-polar solvents. In addition to weak local emission, a strong solvent dependent red shifted fluorescence in polar aprotic solvents is attributed to highly polar intramolecular charge transfer state. However, the formation of hydrogen-bonded clusters with polar protic solvents has been suggested from a linear correlation between the observed red shifted fluorescence band maxima with hydrogen bonding parameters (). Calculations by ab initio and density functional theory show that the lone pair electron at nitrogen center is out of plane of the benzene ring in the global minimum ground state structure. In the gas phase, a potential energy surface along the twist coordinate at the donor (–NMe₂) and acceptor (–CH = CHCOOMe) sites shows stabilization of S₁ state and destabilization S₂ and S₀ states. A similar potential energy calculation along the twist coordinate in acetonitrile solvent using non-equilibrium polarized continuum model also shows more stabilization of S₁ state relative to other states and supports solvent dependent red shifted emission properties. In all types of calculations it is found that the nitrogen lone pair is delocalized over the benzene ring in the global minimum ground state and is localized on the nitrogen centre at the 90° twisted configuration. The S₁ energy state stabilization along the twist coordinate at the donor site and localized nitrogen lone pair at the perpendicular configuration support well the observed dual fluorescence in terms of proposed twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) model.     

Preferential solvation of an ILCT excited state in bis(terpyridine-phenylene-vinylene) Zn(II) complexes

The excited state of terpyridine derivatives of phenylene-vinylene fragments chelating Zn(II) show a strong solvatochromism (up to 56 nm) upon preferential solvation by polar solvents of an intraligand charge transfer state.     

Emission switching of 4,6-diphenylpyrimidones: solvent and solid state effects

The photophysics of 1-ethyl-4,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2(1H)-pyrimidone (1) and 1-ethyl-4,6-bis(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-2(1H)-pyrimidone (2) were investigated to determine the mechanisms of emission switching in response to protonation. UV-vis and steady state emission spectroscopy of the protonated and unprotonated forms across a range of solvents reveal the polarity dependence of the vertical excitation energies. Emission lifetimes and quantum yields show the solvent dependency of the excited states. Emission enhancements were observed in polyethylene glycol solutions and in the solid state (both thin film and single crystal), demonstrating the role of intramolecular rotation in thermal relaxation of the excited states. TD-DFT calculations provide insights into the excited state geometries and the role of intramolecular charge transfer. The collected data show that emission of diphenylpyrimidones can be modulated by four factors, including the identity of the electron-donating auxochrome, protonation state, solvent polarity, and viscosity.
