Synthesis and properties of 2-(2-pyridyl)-1-azaazulene

The title azaazulene 3 was synthesized either by reaction of tropone with N-{(2-pyridyl)acetyl}pyridinium iodide in the presence of ammonium acetate or by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between 2-halo-1-azaazulene and 2-substituted pyridine. The compound shows relatively stronger basicity compared with 2,2′-bipyridyl. While 3 showed no emission from the S₁ state but from the S₂ state like azulene does, the protonated species of 3 exhibited emission from the S₁ state. Cationic metal-dependent absorption and emission relating to complexation were also studied.     

Size-tunable emission from 1,3-diphenyl-5-(2-anthryl)-2-pyrazoline nanoparticles

Organic nanoparticles of 1,3-diphenyl-5-(2-anthryl)-2- pyrazoline (DAP) ranging in average diameters from 40 to 160 nm were prepared through the reprecipitation method. The average diameters of the particles were controlled by variation of the aging time. We found that DAP nanoparticles exhibit the size-dependent optical properties. The absorption transitions of the nanoparticles at the lower-energy side experience a bathochromic shift with an increase in the particle size as a result of the increased intermolecular interactions, while the higher-energy bands of anthracene split possibly due to the electronic coupling between the pyrazoline ring of one molecule and the anthracene moiety of the neighboring molecule. Most interestingly, the nanoparticle emission in the blue light region from pyrazoline chromophore shifts to shorter wavelengths with an increase in the particle size, accompanied with a relatively gradual dominance of the emission at about 540 nm from an exciplex between the pyrazoline ring of one molecule and the anthracene moiety of the neighboring molecule. The hypsochromic shift in the emission of DAP nanoparticles was identified as originating from the pronounced decrease in the Stokes shift due to the restraint of vibronic relaxation and the configuration reorganization induced by the increased intermolecular interaction.

NEW FEATURES IN THE PHOTOPHYSICS and PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF 2-(2''-HYDROXY-PHENYL)BENZOTHIAZOLES INTRODUCED BY AMINE SUBSTITUTION

The photophysics and photochemistry of the 4'-diethylamino derivative of both 2-phenyl-benzothiazole and 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole have been studied by nanosecond and microsecond laser flash photolysis and picosecond emission spectroscopy. For the non-hydroxy substituted molecule, the singlet excited state was shown to relax primarily via fluorescence emission, and a very weak triplet transient was observed after laser flash excitation. The 2-(2'-hydroxy-4'-diethylaminophenyl)benzothiazole (AHBT) was shown to undergo excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in the picosecond timescale (k greater than 3 x 10(10) s-1) to form a colored zwitter-ion/keto form in solution at room temperature while the ground state back proton transfer was slower by a factor of approximately 10(5). However, in marked contrast with other derivatives of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole and related molecules, the ESIPT was not the only deactivation process of the lowest singlet excited state of the enol form. Under steady-state excitation at room temperature (and low temperature), the fluorescence emission of the enol form was observed. The T-T absorption of the enol form was also observed and furthermore, the ESIPT was shown to have an activation energy which was estimated to be approximately 4 kJ. None of the foregoing, fluorescence and T-T absorption of the enol nor activation energy for proton transfer have been observed for the parent or derivatives of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazoles. The striking new features for the ESIPT photochemistry and photophysics for the 4'-diethylamino derivative of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole are discussed and MO calculations are used to aid in the interpretation of some of the experimental results.

ESIPT inspired fluorescent 2-(4-benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)naphtho[1,2-d]oxazol-2-yl)phenol: experimental and DFT based approach to photophysical properties

ESIPT inspired fluorescent 2-(4-benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)naphtho[1,2-d]oxazol-2-yl)phenol was synthesized from 1-amino-3-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)naphthalen-2-ol. Photophysical behavior of the synthesized compound was studied using UV–visible and fluorescence spectroscopy in polar and non-polar solvents. The synthesized naphthoxazolyl benzoxazole is fluorescent and very sensitive to the micro-environment. It shows a single absorption and dual emission in non-polar solvents with large Stokes shift originating from Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer while in polar solvents only a single short wavelength emission is observed. Experimental absorption and emission wavelengths are in good agreement with those predicted using the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) [B3LYP/6-31G(d)]. The largest wavelength difference between the experimental and computed absorption maxima was 16 nm (acetonitrile) and 7 nm (ethyl acetate, THF, and 1,4-dioxane) in the short and long wavelength regions, respectively. A largest difference of 25 nm was observed for the short wavelength emission in DMF and 22 nm for the longer wavelength emission in chloroform.

REINVESTIGATION OF THE PHOTOPHYSICS OF 2-(2'-HYDROXY-4'-DIETHYLAMINOPHENYL)BENZOTHIAZOLE

Abstract— The photophysical properties of 2-(2'-hydroxy-4'-diethylaminophenyl) benzothiazole (HABT) have been investigated by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies. In n-heptane HABT exhibits both normal and tautomer emissions with ∼equal fluorescence intensity at room temperature, in contrast to a previous report in which negligible tautomer emission was observed. The normal/tautomer (400/500 nm) ratio of emission intensity increases as the temperature decreases. Two possible excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanisms are proposed, which cannot be resolved at the present stage. One proposed mechanism incorporates state mixing between -OH and -N(C₂H₅)₂ charge transfer states, resulting in a significant energy barrier for ESIPT. An alternative mechanism is also proposed in which fast proton tunneling may take place between enol and keto forms, which are in equilibrium in the excited singlet state.

Lifetimes of C60(2-) and C70(2-) dianions in a storage ring

C60(2-) and C70(2-) dianions have been produced by electrospray of the monoanions and subsequent electron pickup in a Na vapor cell. The dianions were stored in an electrostatic ring and their decay by electron emission was measured up to 1 s after injection. While C70(2-) ions are stable on this time scale, except for a small fraction of the ions which have been excited by gas collisions, most of the C60(2-) ions decay on a millisecond time scale, with a lifetime depending strongly on their internal temperature. The results can be modeled as decay by electron tunneling through a Coulomb barrier, mainly from thermally populated triplet states about 120 meV above a singlet ground state. At times longer than about 100 ms, the absorption of blackbody radiation plays an important role for the decay of initially cold ions. The tunneling rates obtained from the modeling, combined with WKB estimates of the barrier penetration, give a ground-state energy 200+/-30 meV above the energy of the monoanion plus a free electron and a ground-state lifetime of the order of 20 s.     

Enantiospecific synthesis of 2-[18F]fluoro-L-phenylalanine and 2-[18F]fluoro-L-tyrosine by isotopic exchange

2-[(18)F]Fluoro-L-phenylalanine and 2-[(18)F]fluoro-L-tyrosine have been developed as promising radiopharmaceuticals for molecular imaging using positron emission tomography (PET). However, the lack of a convenient radiosynthetic pathway has limited their practical use. In this work a new three-step nucleophilic synthesis of these compounds starting from [(18)F]fluoride is described. Corresponding precursors (1a and 1b) were (18)F-fluorinated by isotopic exchange, followed by the removal of an activating formyl group with Rh(PPh(3))(3)Cl and subsequent hydrolysis of protecting groups in acidic medium. All reactions were carried out using both conventional and microwave heating. Conventional heated reactions yielded the desired products 2-[(18)F]Fphe and 2-[(18)F]Ftyr in 43% and 49% whereas radiochemical yields of 34% and 43%, respectively, were obtained when they were heated by microwaves. Under optimized conditions the enantiomeric purity was ≥94% for both radiopharmaceuticals.     

Proton- and metal cation-enhanced excited state intramolecular proton transfers of 2-(2-hydroxyfluorophenyl)benzoxazole having imidazole moiety

2-(2-Hydroxyfluorophenyl)benzoxazole having an imidazole moiety 1 was synthesized by the two step reactions starting from 2-(pentafluorophenyl)benzoxazole. Protonation at the 3-imidazole nitrogen atom of 1 enhances the green emission around 500 nm, where the positive character caused by the protonation is inductively communicated to the hydroxy group, to recover its intramolecular hydrogen bonding, leading to the ESIPT process. Addition of Al³⁺ or Zn²⁺ to 1 enhances both the green emission and the blue emission around 450 nm in chloroform-acetonitrile.     

N-[2-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetamide: a receptor for acid binding

Different hydrates of the receptor, N-[2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetamide (I), and its co-crystals with acetic acid and l(+)α-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid are synthesised and their structures are studied. The acids such as acetic acid, l(+)α-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid quench fluorescence of I. The receptor I shows a fluorescence quenching on interaction with perchloric acid in benzene, whereas in methanol the solution of I results in the generation of a new fluorescence emission at higher wavelengths. The crystal structure of the perchlorate salt is determined to explain the protonation behaviour of the receptor I and the perchlorate salt in methanol leads to fluorescence emission at a place different from that of the parent compound.
