Photoinduced intermolecular and intramolecular actions between eosin and porphyrin

Two dyads of eosin and porphyrin linked with a semi-rigid (-CH2phCH2-) or flexible (-(CH2)4-) bridge and their reference model compounds were synthesized and characterized The intermoleccular interaction and intramolecular photoinduced singlet energy transfer and electron transfer were studied by their absorp tion spectra,fluorescence emission,excitation spectra and fluorescence lifetime The model compounds,ethyl ester of eosm (EoEt) and porphyrin (PorEt),could form complexes in the ground state.When the eosin moieties in dyads were excited,they could transfer some singlet energy to the porphyrins; in the meantime,they could also ndsce electron transfer between two chromophores.Exciting the porphyrin moieties in dyads could induce electron transfer from eosin moieties to porphyrin moieties.The efficiencies (EnT,ET) and rate constants (kEnT,kET) were related to the polarity of solvents and mutual orientation of the two chromophores in dyads.     

含三苯胺类富勒烯吡咯烷衍生物的合成、表征及理论计算

N-Methyl-2-（4-N,N-diphenylaminophenyl）fulleropyrrolidine and N-methyl-2-（4-di-p-tolylaminophenyl）fulleropyrrolidine were synthesized via the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions under microwave irradiation. The molecular structures were identified and characterized by MS, UV-Vis, FT-IR, ^1H NMR and fluorescence spectra. Photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer process from C60 moiety to triphenylamine moiety have been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis. The optimized structure and the distribution of the frontier molecular orbitals for C60-TPA were obtained by using DFT method at B3LYP/6-31G（d） level. The results indicated that the intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer could occur in these compounds, which were in excellent agreement with the nanosecond transient absorption spectra observed experimentally in polar solvent. The electronic spectrum of the compound C60-TPA was studied by ZINDO method on the basis of the optimized geometrics, which was essentially consistent with experimental values.     

STUDIES OF THE ANTENNA EFFECT IN POLYMER MOLECULES ENERGY MIGRATION AND TRAPPING IN NAPHTHALENE-CONTAINING POLYELECTROLYTES*

Polymers of 1- and 2-vinylnaphthalene containing more than about 50mol% sulfonic acid groups dissolve in water to form "hypercoiled" conformations whichhave many of the properties of micelles. Hydrophobic molecules such as anthracene andperylene are selectively absorbed in these pseudo micellar structures, and their fluorescenceemission is sensitized by energy transfer from the surrounding naphthalene chromophores.When irradiated with UV light in the presence of oxygen, the emission of perylene rapidlydecreases. It is proposed that this is due to reaction of singlet oxygen with the perylenetrapped in the hypercoiled polymer.     

TBP"探针"法与荧光光谱法测定环己烷最低激发单态G值的比较

By using tri-Bu Phosphate (TBP) as an energy acceptor, G value of lowest excited singlet state of cyclohexane has been determine under g irradiation It was found that in N2 atmosphere when the dose approaches zero G(S1) equals 1.3 ?0.2. Which is in harmony with the G value determine by fluorescence method. Rate constant of energy transfer from lowest excited singlet state of cyclohexane to TBP was found to be 0.6 ?1010 mol-1譻-1, which is in harmony with kses. The influence factor on the determination of yields of excited states and rate constant of energy transfer was discussed. The excited triplet state of cyclohexane has been studied, G value of excited triplet state of cyclohexane is 0.26 ?0.04 and t x 6 ns.     

Excited-state properties of asymmetric pentaazadentate expanded porphyrins

The research results of the excited-state properties of asymmetric pentaazadentate ex-panded-porphyrins are reported. The results show that the emission spectra appear in the 770-820 nm region in accord with the different substituents on the benzene ring. The quantum yield of fluorescence is less than 0.02, and the lifetime of the first singlet excited state (S1) is shorter than 1ns. There are excellent linear relationships between the energy of the S1 and the Hammett constants as well as the quantum yield of fluorescence and the electrophilic substituent constants σ+. The energies of the lowest excited triplet state (T1) of the complexes are in the range of 94 -130kJ/mol. The lifetime of T 1 is as long as tens of microseconds. The T1-Tn transient absorption spectra appear in 450-550 nm region. And the quantum yield of title compounds for generating singlet oxygen is as high as 0.9.     

STUDIES ON THE MECHANISM OF VINYL PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION INITIATED BY CONDENSED AROMATIC HYDROCARBON-ANILINE SYSTEMS

Initiation mechanism of the photopolymerization of acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate, usingbinary condensed aromatic hydrocarbon (CAH)-aniline systems as initiator, was studied. The strongerthe electron-donating ability of the aniline derivatives, the faster the the of photopolymerizationwill be. The radical intermediates produced by photoreaction between anthracene and anilinewere detected with ESR spectra. The initiation scheme involves the formation of exciplex betweenthe excited singlet state of CAH and the ground state of aniline as the first step, and then followedby proton transfer, leading to the generation of two kinds of radicals. From the end-group analysisof the polymers obtained, it is suggested that both kinds of radicals are involved in the initiation.     

Computational Insights into the Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer Reactions in Ortho-hydroxylated Oxazolines

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer(ESIPT) reactions of three ortho-hydroxylated oxazolines, 2-(4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-yl)-phenol(DDOP), 4-(4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-yl)-[1,1?-biphenyl]-3-ol(DDOP-C_6H_5) and 4-(4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-benzonitrile(DDOP-CN), have been systematically explored by density functional theory(DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory(TDDFT) methods. Two stable configurations(enol and keto forms) are found in the ground states(S_0) for all the compounds while the enol form only exists in the first excited states(S_1) for the compound modified with electron donating group(-C_6H_5). In addition, the calculated absorption and emission spectra of the compounds are in good agreements with the experiments. Infrared vibrational spectra at the hydrogen bond groups demonstrate that the intramolecular hydrogen bond O(1)-H(2)···N(3) in DDOP-C_6H_5 is strengthened in the S_1 states, while the frontier molecular orbitals further reveal that the ESIPT reactions are more likely to occur in the S_1 states for all the compounds. Besides, the proton transfer potential energy curves show that the enol forms can barely convert into keto forms in the S_0 states because of the high energy barriers. Meanwhile, intramolecular proton transfer of all the compounds could occur in S_1 states. The ESIPT reactions of the ortho-hydroxylated oxazolines are barrierless processes for unsubstituted DDOP and electron withdrawing substituted DDOP-CN, while the electron donating substituted DDOP-C_6H_5 has a small barrier, so the electron donating is unfavorable to the ESIPT reactions of ortho-hydroxylated oxazolines.     

Photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer and charge separation in zinc phthalocyanine-viologen linked system

Photoinduced electron transfer and charge separation processes in zinc phthalocya-nine-viologen linked system have been studied and the distance effect of donor/acceptor on electron transfer reaction is discussed. It is indicated that the fluorescence from the zinc phthalocyanine moiety is appreciably quenched and the life-time of singlet excited state is reduced by the pendant viologen. Time-resolved transient absorption spectra measurements show that intramolecular quenching of the triplet state of zinc phthalocyanine by the attached viologen results in charge separation giving reduced viologen radical alive for a rather long period with hundred microsecond duration. The effect of the carbon chain length on the electron transfer rate constant and charge separation efficiency suggests that upon excitation, the zinc phthalocyanine and viologen groups tend to take closer conformation with the increase of the carbon chain examined.

1-萘甲酰苯胺和2-萘甲酰苯胺的分子内电荷转移研究

A series of 1-naphthanilides (1) and 2-naphthanilides (2) with varied substituents at the para- or meta-position of anilino phenyl ring were prepared and their absorption and fluorescence spectra in a nonpolar solvent cyclohexane were investigated. An abnormal long wavelength emission assigned to the charge transfer (CT) state was found for all of the prepared naphthanilides in cyclohexane. A linear free energy correlation between the CT emission energies and the Hammett constants of the substituent was found within series 1 and 2. The value of the linear slope with 1 (0.42 eV) was higher than that with 2 (0.32 eV) being close to that of the substituted benzanilides 3 (0.31 eV) The higher slope value suggested higher charge separation extent in the CT state of 1 than that of 2. It was found that the corresponding linear slope of anilino-substituted benzanilides remained unchanged when para-, meta-, ortho-, or ortho, ortho-methyls were introduced into the anilino moiety, which ruled out the possible contribution of the difference in the steric effect and the electron accepting ability of the naphthoyl acceptor in 1 and 2. Compared with the early reported N-substituted-benzoyl-aminonaphthalene derivatives 4 and 5, it was considered that 1-naphthoyl enhanced the charge transfer in 1 and the proximity of its ^1La and ^1Lb states was suggested to be responsible. It was shown that 1- and/or 2-substituted naphthalene cores acting as either electron acceptor (naphthoyl) or electron donor (aminonaphthalene) were different in not only electron accepting (donating) ability but also shaping the charge transfer pathway.     

Solvent effects on competitive intramolecular electron transfer and energy transfer in a covalently linked porphyrin-phthalocyanine heterodimer

Photophysical properties of a porphyrin-phthalocyanine heterodimer covalently linked with a dipentoxy chain have been studied.Absorption spectra show that there is weak exciton coupling between the two chromophores in the ground state.Fluorescence spectra show that intramolecular energy transfer from porphyrin to phthalocyanine moiety occurs in competition with electron transfer.The efficiency of these two processes depends upon the mutual orientation of the two chromophores.The effect of solvent polarity on the intramolecular processes is also discussed.     

新型双发色团染料荧光光谱及其寿命的研究

有效的染料激光操作需要较高的荧光量子效率,若丹明是在500~700 nm光谱区中一类最重要的激光染料.然而,染料的基态分子和三线态对辐射能量的吸收将会大大降低激光输出效率,再者,由于若丹明类染料在紫外区的吸收系数较小,为了有效吸收泵浦能量(如用XeCI准分子激光,308 nm),就必须使用高浓度染料溶液,在这种情况下,若丹明类染料较小的Stokes位移就势必造成基态分子更大的重复吸收,即造成更大的谐振腔损耗^[1].     

Influence of polarity of solvents on the spectral properties of bichromophoric coumarins

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of bichromophoric coumarins were investigated in different solvents and in polymer matrices. These bichromophoric coumarins were composed of a coumarin dimethylamino-substituted at position 7 or unsubstituted coumarin and phthalimide or a 1,8-naphthylimide linked with an iminomethyl bridge to the position 3 or 8 of the coumarin ring. Absorption spectra of 7-dimethylamino derivatives in position 3 of coumarin were quite similar, exhibiting broad bands around 430-440 nm like the parent compound 7-dimethylaminocoumarin-3-carbaldehyde. For coumarin derivatives substituted in position 8, the absorption maximum was shifted to shorter wavelength as for derivatives without position 7 dimethylamino substitution. The most intense fluorescence was observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin in polar solvent, while intense fluorescence was observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxobenz[de]isoquinolinyl)iminomethyl]-coumarin in non polar solvent (chloroform), comparable with the fluorescence of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. Spectral measurements of bichromophoric coumarins in polymer matrices revealed that the maxima lies in between those for chloroform and methanol yielding more intense fluorescence then in solutions. Completely different solvent effects were observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxobenz[de]isoquinolinyl)imino-methyl]coumarin and 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin. With addition of polar methanol the intensity of fluorescence decreases, yielding a Stern-Volmer-like constant of 0.54 dm3 mol?1 for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxo-benz[de]isoquinolinyl)iminomethyl]coumarin and an even higher one of 1.08 dm3·mol?1 for 7-dimethylaminocoumarin-3-carbaldehyde compared to the rather low one of 0.024 dm3 mol?1 for 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. Contrary to this, addition of methanol under identical conditions brings about an increase in fluorescence intensity of 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin (about 60-fold). The reasons for these different solvent effects are discussed.     

PHOTOPRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM LINKED CHROMOPHORES

Abstract On irradiation of solutions of anthryl-substituted cobalt(III) cage complexes, [(l-(anthryl-9-methylamino)-8-methyl-3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo [6.6.6] eicosane) cobalt(III)]³⁺ or [(l-(4-an-thryl-9)-3-aza-butyl-l-amino)-8-methyl-3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo [6.6.6] eicosane)cobalt (III)]³* in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and platinum catalysts hydrogen was produced. These complexes act as coupled photosensitizers (anthracene moiety) and electron relays (cobalt cage) to produce H₂ via energy trapping and intramolecular electron transfer initially. The intensity of fluorescence and the photochemical reactivity favour the latter complex and the excited singlet state of the anthracene chromophore is invoked as the intermediate state leading to the reduction of Co(III) to Co(II).     

Fluorescence properties of bichromophoric molecules

The fluorescent behaviour of two bichromophoric compounds was studied. The intramolecular energy transfer efficiency and the mutual orientation of donor and acceptor moieties were determined. Incomplete energy transfer was found in the dye consisting of naphthalene and anthracene and therefore, it cannot be regarded as Förster-type. The energy transfer was complete in the dye consisting of diphenylanthracene and phenylbenzoxazole.     

Solid‐Phase Synthesis of Peptide Libraries Combining α‐Amino Acids with Inorganic and Organic Chromophores

The synthesis of two series of peptidic chains composed of bis(terpyridine)ruthenium(II) acceptor units and organic chromophores (coumarin, naphthalene, anthracene, fluorene) by stepwise solid‐phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) techniques is described. The first series of dyads comprises directly amide linked chromophores, while the second one possesses a glycine spacer between the two chromophores. All dyads were studied by UV/Vis and NMR spectroscopy, steady‐state luminescence, luminescence decay and electrochemistry, as well as by DFT calculations. The results of these studies indicate weak electronic coupling of the chromophores in the ground state. Absorpion spectra of all dyads are dominated by metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MLCT) bands around 500 nm. The bichromophoric systems, especially with coumarin as organic chromophore, display additional strong absorptions in the visible spectral region. All complexes are luminescent at room temperature (³MLCT). Efficient quenching of the fluorescence of the organic chromophore by the attached ruthenium complex is observed in all dyads. Excitation spectra indicate energy transfer from the organic dye to the ruthenium chromophore.

Design and Synthesis of 1-Glycosyl-4-{N-[(2'-morpholinethoxy)-phenyl]aminomethyl}-1H-1,2,3-triazoles as Calcium Activators

A series of novel 1-glycosyl-4-{N-[(2'-morpholinethoxy)phenyl]aminomethyl}-1H-1,2,3-triazoles was designed and synthesized through a simple and efficient multistep synthetic method in good yields. The 1,2,3-triazole moiety acted as a single disubstituted ring and a linker between carbohydrates(D-glucose, D-galactose, maltose and lactose) and morpholine. The compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and mass spectra(MS). Two different deprotection methods were discussed. The effects of compounds 5a, 5c and 6e on the intracellular calcium ion concentration([Ca²⁺]_i) in the central neurons of S. exigua were well investigated by calcium imaging technique. The results demonstrated that compound 6e could elevate the calcium concentration in the glial cells, not in the neurons.     

Synthesis of 6-(1-Aryl-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-3-(4-Pyridyl)-s-Triazolo[3,4-b]-l,3,4-Thiadiazoles

A survey of literature¹ revealed that s-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole, an interesting fused system of s-triazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole rings, has received much attention during recent years on account of its prominent utilizations as antifungal, antiinflammatory, antiviral, analgesic and anthelmintic agents probably resulting from its planner and compact structure. Our earlier work on the synthesis of this class of heterocycles showed antibacterial, herbicidal and plant growth regulative properties^2-3 for the compounds. 1,2,3-Triazole derivatives have found their wide use in medicine, agriculture and industry^4-5. Incorporation of 1,2,3-triazole moiety into the 6-position of this ring system may lead to achieving compounds of better biological activities. In view of the above findings coupled with scanty reports on these condensed compounds carrying 6-heterocyclic groups, we wish to report here the condensation of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-(4-pyridyl)-l,2,4-triazole(2) with 1-aryl-4-carboxy-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazoles(1_a-j) as a part of our continuing interest in this area.     

Photo-physical properties of the transition metal ions complexes of the calix[4]arene derivatives

The complexing properties of the calix[4]arene having two anthracene moieties at the upper rim toward transition metal ions and their photo-physical properties have been studied. The presence of a Schiff Base unit allows the chelation of transition metal cations such as Cu²⁺, Co³⁺, which leads to a weakening of the charge transfer process in the absorption spectrum and to an enhancement of the fluorescence of the anthracene moiety.     

Syntheses of 3-[5-Methyl-1-(4-Methylphenyl)-1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl]-6-Substituted-s-Triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-Thiadiazoles

1,2,3-Triazole derivatives have been reported as inhibiting tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis^[1]. The fused l,3,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles derivatives show various biological effects such as antifungal^[2], antibacterial, hypotensive and CNS depressant activities^[3]. We have reported several 6-aryl-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles in the previous paper^[4]. The novel 6-aryl-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazolo[2,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 6a-j have been synthesized by the condensation of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazole 5 with various aromatic carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. The mercaptotriazole 5 was prepared from 4,the latter being prepared from 1 throng 2 and 3. The title compounds 6 were depicted in scheme 1. The structures of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, NMR, MS and IR techniques.
