The structure and potentials of the interaction of complexes of polyatomic anions with Li, Na, and the molecules of aprotic solvents

The semiempiric CNDO method with the modified potential of core-core repulsion is used for quantum-chemical calculations of the potential surface cross-sections, charge distribution and the electrostatic field in complexes of the type A⁻…M⁺ (A⁻ = ClO⁻₄, NO⁻₃, SCN⁻, BF⁻₄, AsF⁻₆; M⁺ = Li⁺, Na⁺) and A⁻…M⁺…Mol (acetonitrile, pyridine, dimethylformamide, dimethylsufloxide, nitromethane, tetrahydrofuran). It is established that the anion-cation interaction potential has the form of a complex function with several minima which correspond to possible types of coordination between anions and cations. The effect of solvent molecules leads to the weakening of the interionic bond and the decrease of the potential barrier between configurations with different types of anion-cation coordination.     

Detection of benzaldehyde and formaldehyde in the UV photolysis of gas-phase methyl benzoate

The excitation of gas-phase methyl benzoate at 240 nm leads to the observation of phosphorescence. The dispersed phosphorescence spectrum has an assigned origin of 25 270 cm⁻¹ and a prominent C=O progression of 1720 cm⁻¹, consistent with literature reports of gas-phase benzaldehyde spectroscopy. Weaker bands, which correspond to formaldehyde ν₁₇ and ν₂₅, are also evident. Time-resolved IR diode laser absorption spectroscopy has been used to probe formaldehyde. Excitation of methyl benzoate at 222 nm clearly indicates the generation of formaldehyde as a photoproduct. The temporal profile of the formaldehyde signal is consistent with significant nascent vibrational excitation in this product. The ratio of formaldehyde initially in the ground vibrational state to that in the excited vibrational states is estimated to be 0.6 ± 0.1. The proposed elimination mechanisms are analogous to those postulated for the formation of CO₂ and acetaldehyde from pyruvic acid.     

位移谐振子模型对三(2-苯基吡啶)合铱磷光光谱影响的理论研究

采用谐振子模型理论探讨了振动模式对Ir(ppy)₃配合物的磷光光谱的影响.多原子分子发射光谱的一般形式可以从两个绝热电子态之间的热振动关联函数推导出,相应地势能面之间的位移和Duschinsky转动的影响也被包含在多维谐振子模型的表达式中,所得关系式模拟出了Ir(ppy)₃较为精细的磷光发射光谱.计算结果表明T₁态到S₀态之间的0→1振动跃迁对发射光谱贡献较大,尤其振动频率小于1600 cm^-1的振动模贡献更多,配体中苯和吡啶环上C=C和C=N的呼吸振动,是Ir(ppy)₃出现肩峰的主要原因.玻耳兹曼分布使得主峰和肩峰的强度下降,并且两峰相互接近.该谐振子模型与密度泛函理论(DFT)结合,可以较好地定量描述多原子分子光物理过程的发射光谱以及详细了解光谱谱图的细节.     

THE ELECTRONIC SPECTROSCOPY OF PYRIMIDINES: THE EFFECT OF COVALENTLY BONDED SULFUR ON THE PHOSPHORESCENCE AND ABSORPTION SPECTRA

Abstract— The phosphorescence of uracil, 2-thiouracil, 2 ,4-dithiouracil and 2-mercaptopyrimidine was studied at 77 K. 2-Thiouracil and 2,4-dithiouracil showed phosphorescence quantum yields of 0.65 and 0. 1 , respectively. The emitting triplet states of these compounds have been assigned as the ³(π, π*) type. The enhancement of spin-orbit coupling through the involvement of the 3d orbitals on sulfur has been invoked in describing emission characteristics of thiouracils.     

Structure électronique, spectre ultraviolet et solvatochromie du tétracyano-1,1,3,3 aza-2 propénure de tetramethylammonium

CNDO/S calculations are performed for the [(CN)₂-C-N-C-(CN)₂]⁻ anion. The observed and theoretical ultraviolet spectra are in perfect agreement. A theoretical analysis of the electronic structure and solvation energy of ground and excited singlet states confirms the almost total lack of sensitivity of the electronic spectrum to solvent effects.     

Fraction of excited-state oxygen formed as b Σg in solution-phase-photosensitized reactions II. Effects of sensitizer substituent

The fraction F_Σ of excited-state oxygen formed as b ¹Σ_g⁺ was determined for a series of triplet-state photosensitizers in CCl₄ solutions. F_Σ was determined by monitoring the intensities of (a) O₂(b ¹Σ_g⁺) fluorescence at 1926 nm (O₂(b ¹Σ_g⁺)→O₂(a ¹Δ_g) and (b) O₂(a ¹ Δ_g) phosphorescence at 1270 nm (O₂(a ¹Δ_g) → O₂(X³Σ_g⁻)). Oxygen excited states were formed by energy transfer from substituted benzophenones and acetophenones. The data indicate that F_Σ depends on several variables including the orbital configuration of the lowest triplet state and the triplet-state energy. The available data indicate that the sensitizer-oxygen charge transfer (CT) state is not likely to influence F_Σ strongly by CT-mediated mixing of various sensitizer-oxygen states.     

ABSORPTION AND EMISSION STUDIES OF ELECTRONIC STATES OF N-ARYLBENZAMIDES

Abstract— Absorption and emission spectra of several N-arylbenzamides have been measured. The quantum yields for their fluorescence were found to be dependent on matrix viscosity and temperature. Singlet-triplet splittings for these compounds were determined from their emission spectra and found to be abnormally small for π. π* states (˜ 1500 cm^-1). Indeed, the phosphorescence maxima of N-arylbenzamides occur slightly to the blue relative to their fluorescence maxima. Intersystem crossing efficiencies were determined for several of these compounds and are consistent with S₁→ S ₀ radiationless decay.

Studies of the triplet state of the proton-transfer tautomer in salicylaldehydes

The spectroscopy and dynamics of the low-lying triplet state of the proton-transfer tautomer in salicylaldehydes have been studied via internal heavy-atom effects coupled with a sensitive near-IR detecting system. For 3,5-diiodosalicylaldehyde a weak proton-transfer keto-tautomer phosphorescence was resolved with a maximum at 710 nm (τ_p1.8 μs, Φ_obs5.23×10⁻⁴) in a 77 K methylcyclohexane glass. The results, in combination with the time-resolved thermal lensing experiment, further deduced the triplet-state population yield and radiative decay rate to be 0.20 (298 K) and 3.12×10² s⁻¹, respectively. Consequently, the energetics and dynamics of the triplet states during a proton transfer cycle are discussed in detail.     

Stopped-flow determination of dipyridamole in pharmaceutical preparations by micellar-stabilized room temperature phosphorescence

The stopped flow mixing technique has been used to study the kinetic determination of dipyridamole by means of micellar-stabilized room temperature phosphorescence (RTP). This mixing system diminishes the time required for the deoxygenation of the micellar medium by sodium sulfite. The phosphorescence enhancers thallium (I) nitrate, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and sodium sulfite were optimized to obtain maximum sensitivity and selectivity. A pH value of 10.6 was selected as adequate for phosphorescence development. The kinetic curve of dipyridamole phosphorescence was scanned at λ_ex=303 nm and λ_em=616 nm. Then, the intensity at 10 s, and the maximum slope of phosphorescence development, for an interval time of 1 s, were measured. Two determination approaches: intensity and rate methods, were proposed. The calibration graphs were linear for the concentration range from 50 to 400 ng ml⁻¹. The detection limits, according to Clayton et al., Anal. Chem. 59 (1987) 2506, were 21.5 and 37.5 ng ml⁻¹, for intensity and initial rate measurements, respectively. By applying the error propagation theory, the detection limits were 19.0 and 33.0 ng ml⁻¹, for intensity and initial rate measurements, respectively. Two commercial formulations (persantin and asasantin) were analyzed by both proposed methodologies. Adequate recovery values were obtained in both cases.     

Stereochemically non-rigid transition metal complexes of 2,6-bis[(1-phenylimino) ethyl]pyridine (BIP) part 1. Dynamic NMR studies of [M(C6F5) 2(BIP)] (M = Pd or Pt)

The complexes [M(C₆F₅)₂(BIP)] (M = Pd^II or Pt^II, BIP = 2,6-bis[(1-phenylimino)ethyl]pyridine) have been synthesised and characterised as involving BIP as a bidentate chelate ligand. In solution they undergo 1,4 metallotropic shifts of the M(C₆ F₅)₂ moiety, E,Z isomerisation of the pendant imine bond, and restricted C-C rotation of the pendant portion of the BIP ligand. ¹H and ¹⁹F dynamic NMR studies yielded activation energies for these three types of fluxion. ΔG^≠ (298 K) values for the three processes were 89.6, 86.6 and 47.4kJmol⁻¹ respectively for the Pt^II complex. Values for the Pd^II complex were significantly lower in magnitude, namely 71.6, 70.4 and 41.8 kJ mol⁻¹ respectively.

Abstract— The quantum yields of phosphorescence and fluorescence and the phosphorescence lifetime have been determined for biacetyl in benzene, p-xylene, n-heptane, and water, and for benzil in n-heptane at 22C. The following values for the fluorescence quantum yield and natural phosphorescence lifetime were obtained: For biacetyl in benzene, 2.7 times 10^-3 and 7.8 msec, in p-xylene, 2.5 times 10^-3 and 10.8 msec, in n-heptane, 2.9 times 10^-3 and 10.8 msec, in water, 1.1 times 10^-3 and 10.0 msec, and for benzil in n-heptane, 1.1 times 10^-3 and 10.4 msec.

SOLVENT EFFECTS ON THE PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF DIBUCAINE: A QUINOLINE ANALOGUE

Abstract— Emission and absorption spectra of neutral, monocation and dication dibucaine were recorded in hydrocarbon and hydroxylic solvents. The spectral analysis indicates that the lowest electronic states of dibucaine originate from the quinoline analogue in the molecule. The fluorescence and phosphorescence emission of neutral dibucaine in all solvents at 77 K are best assigned as resulting from ¹ n ,π* and ³π,π*, respectively, whereas those of both monocation and dication dibucaines are found to have ¹π,π* and ³π,π*. The monocation and neutral dibucaines in ethanol solutions were shown to give identical emission spectral properties, indicating that dibucaine-HCl in ethanol is H⁺ dissociative; this was confirmed by FT-IR studies. The possible explanations for the deprotonation of dibucaine-HCl in ethanol environments are discussed.     

PHOTOPHYSICAL AND PHOTOSENSITIZING PROPERTIES OF 2-AMINO-4 PTERIDINONE: A NATURAL PIGMENT

Abstract— The characteristics of the fluorescence and phosphorescence emission of 2-amino-4 (3H) pteridinone (or pterin) in aqueous solutions are pH dependent. The room temperature fluorescence quantum yield is low and is maximum at pH = 10 (φ_F∼ 0.057). The 77K phosphorescence emission consists of two overlapping emissions originating from τ* triplet states. In agreement with low temperature results, the 353nm laser flash photolysis makes it possible to detect at pH 9.2, two transient triplet absorptions (τ₁∼ 0.3 μs and τ₂∼ 2.3 μs). The longer lived triplet is characterized by φ_TM∼ 0.20 and ∼ (550nm) = 2000 M ⁻¹ cm⁻¹. It reacts with the solvent forming the semireduced pterin with a quantum yield φ_R∼ 0.06. The photosensitizing properties of pterin have been studied by laser flash spectroscopy and steady state irradiations. Photoreactions implying singlet oxygen formation are shown to occur. Laser flash spectroscopy indicates that the pterin triplet is reduced by amino acids and nucleic acid bases. Corresponding bimolecular reaction rate constants have been measured.     

SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF COUMARIN IN MICELLES

Steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopic techniques have been employed to characterize the coumarin species and identify which species is solubilized in the hydrocarbon core micelles of triton X-100 (neutral), hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (cationic) and dodecyl lithium sulfate (anionic) solutions under physiological conditions at 77 K. The emission and absorption spectra for the following species of coumarin—monomer, hydrogenbonded complex, molecular aggregation and strong hydrophobic aggregates—were recorded in methylcyclohexane (MCH), ethanol, buffers and aqueous solutions. The fluorescence and phosphorescence emissions of monomer in MCH at 77 K are assigned as resulting from ¹(*)₁ and ³(*)₁ states, respectively, originated from the ethylenic bond and carbonyl of the pyrone ring. Molecular orbital calculations using the Hydrogenic Atoms in Molecule, version 3, method were carried out to help interpretation of the spectroscopic results. The photophysical properties from each species are used to probe which species penetrates in the hydrophobic region of micelles. It was found that a fifth species of coumarin assigned as the "action species" is solubilized into the interior of micelles. These observations could lend some insight into the mechanism of transporting coumarins across the membrane.     

S2 → S0 fluorescence in an aromatic thioketone, xanthione

In addition to the red phosphorescence (T₁(³ A₂n, π^*) → S₀) xanthione exhibits in solution an emission with a maximum at ≈ 23 000 cm⁻¹ and φ_f(298°) = 5 × 10⁻³. It is shown that this emission is fluorescence from the second excited singlet state (S₂ (¹A₁ π, π^*) → S₀).     

Reactions of Lewis bases with tetrakisdiphenylamide uranium(IV)

The coordinatively unsaturated uranium(IV) complex U[N(C₆H₅)₂]₄ has been prepared via the stoichiometric reaction of diphenylamine with [(Me₃Si)₂N]₂ H₂. U[N(C₆H₅)₂]₄ coordinates Lewis bases such as Et₂O, THF, pyridine or (EtO)₃PO, based on electronic absorption spectroscopy and ¹H NMR studies. Exchange between U[N(C₆H₅)₂]₄ and U[N(C₆H₅)₂]₄(L), where L is THF or pyridine, is rapid on the NMR time-scale between 307 and 323 K. Measurement of equilibrium constants for L = THF provides ΔH and ΔS values of −60 kJ mol⁻¹ and −1.8 × 10² J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, respectively. U[N(C₆H₅)₂]₄ coordinates and binds (EtO)₃PO much more tightly (K_eq = & > 10⁴ M⁻¹) than THF or pyridine with the exchange rate between U[N(C₆H₅)₂]₄ and U[N(C₆H₅)₂]₄[OP(OEt)₃] being close to the NMR time-scale.     

THE INFLUENCE OF MOLECULAR CONFORMATION ON THE STABILITY OF ULTRAVIOLET STABILIZERS TOWARD DIRECT AND DYE-SENSITIZED PHOTOIRRADIATION: THE CASE OF 2-(2'-HYDROXY-5'-METHYPHENYL)BENZOTRIAZOLE (TIN P)

Abstract— The mechanism for photodegradation of the ultraviolet photostabilizer 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methylphenyl)benzotriazole (TIN P) upon direct and dye-sensitized (singlet molecular oxygen [O₂(1Δ_g)]-mediated) irradiation was studied. From the experimental TIN P photodegradation rate data, and low temperature (77 K) fluorescence and phosphorescence quantum yields, one can conclude that the photodegradative process involves phosphorescent states of TIN P. The open conformer of TIN P quenches O₂(¹Δ_g) by physical scavenging with a rate constant (k_q) in dimethylsulfoxide of 2.8 times 10⁶ M ^-1 s^-1. The intramolecular hydrogen-bonded conformer does not appreciably interact with O₂(¹Δ_g). In the presence of a relatively high concentration of OH- (either 5 times 10^-2 M KOH in ethanol or water at pH 13), the ionic form of TIN P (with an ionized phenol group) physically and chemically quenches O₂(¹Δ_g). The reaction rate constant ( k _r) is 1 times 10 ⁸ M ^-1 s^-1, and the ratio k _q/ k _r is approximately three in alkaline aqueous media.
