在B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)和TDB3LYP/6-31++G(d,p)//CIS/6-31G(d,p)水平上研究了2-(2-巯苯基)苯并噁唑及其衍生物基态和激发态分子内质子转移现象,并探讨取代基电子效应对分子内质子转移的影响,研究结果表明,在基态时,硫醇式异构体为优势构象,供电子取代基使基态分子内正向质子转移能垒(烯醇式→酮式)升高;而吸电子取代基则可降低能垒,有利于基态分子内质子转移并有助于硫酮式异构体的稳定.在激发态时,硫酮式结构为优势构象,所研究的2-(2-巯苯基)苯并噁唑化合物及衍生物均可以发生无能垒或低能垒(≤1.5kJ/mol)的激发态分子内质子转移.巯苯基部分是激发态失活的主要活性部分,供电子基团有利于激发态的质子转移,吸电子基团使激发态跃迁困难,不利于激发态的质子转移.

纳米腔限制环境下2-(2-羟苯基)苯并噻唑的质子转移

采用稳态和瞬态荧光法对2-(2-羟苯基)苯并噻唑(HBT)与七元瓜环(CB7)的超分子作用及CB7分子纳米腔限制作用对HBT激发态质子转移(ESIPT)过程进行了研究,并采用Benesi-Hildebrand方程对荧光数据进行处理,以确定超分子复合物的组成比.结果表明,在N,N-二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)和二氯甲烷溶液中,CB7与HBT的作用均形成化学计量比为1∶1的主客体复合物,HBT的质子转移对溶剂很敏感,CB7的加入,使HBT的荧光寿命降低,量子产率增大.在DMF溶液中,CB7的加入促进了酚氧负离子的形成,而在二氯甲烷溶液中,CB7的加入限制了HBT的激发态质子转移.结构优化计算表明,CB7与HBT能形成化学计量比为1∶1的复合物.

水杨醛衍生物激发态下的质子转移过程及在荧光探针领域的应用

从电子结构控制理论出发,通过在酚羟基对位引入吸电子取代基团稳定水杨醛中激发态的酮式构象,制备了目标化合物5-对氰基苯基-水杨醛(CN-SA).光谱测试结果显示,CN-SA表现出典型的ESIPT态荧光分子特性,而且辐射跃迁过程的酮式分配比例显著提高,荧光强度和颜色变化明显.CN-SA的荧光光谱不但能够对外围溶剂环境进行选择性识别,而且对溶解和聚集过程(聚集效应)及外围氢键形成能力的变化(pH效应和阴离子效应)等具有特异性响应,其变化可以定量表达.CN-SA仅通过结构微调即实现醇-酮构象的显著变化,可作为一个简单的多重刺激响应型荧光探针.     

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.     

光异构化反应的研究——水杨醛缩芳胺席夫碱的吸收光谱与分子结构的关系

Structural investigation on phenyl‐ and pyridin‐2‐ylamino(methylene)naphthalen‐2(3H)‐one. Substituent effects on the NMR chemical shifts

Schiff bases bearing phenyl and pyridyl groups were synthesized by condensation of appropriate amines with 2‐hydroxynaphthaldehyde. These Schiff bases were obtained as colored crystalline solids. The proton NMR spectra of these compounds showed a doublet for the NH protons indicating a keto tautomer for these Schiff bases. The pyridyl‐substituted Schiff bases containing hydroxyl moiety were found to show the most downfield shift for the NH protons in DMSO solvent, and this was rationalized due to the formation of a six‐ and five‐membered ring using hydrogen bonds for these two compounds. Correspondingly, the olefinic proton of the Schiff bases is also found to be a doublet due to coupling to the amine proton. These Schiff bases exhibited thermochromic properties. Detailed NMR spectral analysis for both the phenyl‐ and pyridyl‐substituted Schiff bases is presented. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Application of nuclear magnetic relaxation to elucidate proton location and dynamics in n···h···o hydrogen bonds

The proton location and dynamics in a hydrogen bond in solution are fundamentally important for understanding the phenomenon of proton transfer (PT). In the present study, the proton location and its dynamics were explored for the NH form of the two PT tautomers of the Schiff base by analyzing the fluctuation of the (15)N-(1)H magnetic dipolar coupling by the PT as well as the NH reorientational motion. For this purpose, the (15)N and (13)C spin-lattice relaxation times were measured in dichloromethane or acetonitrile solutions of three Schiff bases with different substituents on the benzene moieties, N-(4,6-dimethoxysalicylidene)methylamine (compound 1), N-(1-methylnitrilomethylidyne)-2-naphthalenomethylamine (compound 2), and N-(3,5-dibromosalicylidene)-methylamine (compound 3). For the NH form of compound 2 in dichloromethane, the proton location shifted to the center between the nitrogen and oxygen atoms, as compared with the minimum of the PT potential surface derived from molecular orbital calculations. For the NH form of compound 3 in dichloromethane, the proton location shift was not observed, and the PT rate was significantly lower than the reorientation rate of the NH bond. The results are discussed in terms of the electronic effect of the substituents and the static and dynamic solvent effect.     

Chiral recognition of the Schiff bases by NMR spectroscopy in the presence of a chiral dirhodium complex. Deuterium isotope effect on 13C chemical shift of the optically active Schiff bases and their dirhodium adducts

The dirhodium method has been successfully applied in chiral recognition of the optically active Schiff bases, derivatives of ortho-hydroxyaldehydes existing in the NH-form. or at tautomeric equilibrium. The position of the equilibrium of Schiff bases as well as their adducts has been established on the basis of measurements of deuterium isotope effects on 13C chemical shifts. The presence of the proton transfer equilibrium or NH-tautomer has promoted the adduct formation. At the equilibrium state, formation of the adducts has shifted the proton transfer equilibrium towards the NH-form. The binding site was the oxygen atom of the proton donor group.

Antioxidant properties of phenolic Schiff bases: structure–activity relationship and mechanism of action

Phenolic Schiff bases are known for their diverse biological activities and ability to scavenge free radicals. To elucidate (1) the structure–antioxidant activity relationship of a series of thirty synthetic derivatives of 2-methoxybezohydrazide phenolic Schiff bases and (2) to determine the major mechanism involved in free radical scavenging, we used density functional theory calculations (B3P86/6-31+(d,p)) within polarizable continuum model. The results showed the importance of the bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) related to the first and second (BDE_d) hydrogen atom transfer (intrinsic parameters) for rationalizing the antioxidant activity. In addition to the number of OH groups, the presence of a bromine substituent plays an interesting role in modulating the antioxidant activity. Theoretical thermodynamic and kinetic studies demonstrated that the free radical scavenging by these Schiff bases mainly proceeds through proton-coupled electron transfer rather than sequential proton loss electron transfer, the latter mechanism being only feasible at relatively high pH.     

Electrochemical behavior and antioxidant activity of tetradentate Schiff bases and their copper(II) complexes

This study describes the effects of the substituents on electrochemical behavior and antioxidant activity of the six tetradentate Schiff bases, containing ethane-1,2-diamine or propane-1,2-diamine as the amine part and pentane-2,4-dione and/or 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione as ??-diketone, and corresponding copper(II) complexes. Cyclic voltammograms of these compounds were recorded in dimethylsulfoxide and 0.1?M sodium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte with glassy carbon as working electrode at different scan rates. The voltammograms of Schiff bases alone showed only one irreversible peak. Voltammograms recorded for complexes showed the presence of quasi-reversible processes taking place at the metal center and reversible process at the ligand part. Both steric and inductive effects of substituents and structure of imine bridge of Schiff base ligands as well as complexes were discussed. These effects appear relevant for the antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity of the investigated compounds expressed as Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity is also discussed. The electrochemical behavior showed a high correlation with the antioxidant activity for investigated compounds.     

X-ray structural studies on metal complexes with nucleotides and pyridoxal-amino acid Schiff bases. Models for platinum binding to DNA and pyridoxal catalyzed reactions

X-ray structural studies on metal complexes with nucleotides and with pyridoxalamino acid Schiff bases are briefly reviewed. The results with ternary metal nucleotide complexes show that the oxopurine nucleotides coordinate to the metal ion through the N(7) atoms of the bases incis position. The relevance of this mode of binding is discussed in terms of the possible mechanism of action of the novel platinum drugs. On the basis of the studies on metal pyridoxal-amino acid Schiff base complexes, the variations in stereochemistry of the ligands in different metal complexes have been related to the catalytic activity of various metal ions in pyridoxal-catalyzed nonenzymatic reactions.     

An experimental and theoretical investigation on adsorption properties of some diphenolic Schiff bases as corrosion inhibitors at acidic solution/mild steel interface

The effect of novel synthesized three Schiff bases, namely, 1,3-bis[2-(2-hydroxy benzylidenamino) phenoxy] propane (P1), 1,3-bis[2-(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidenamino) phenoxy] propane (P2), and 1,3-bis[2-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidenamino) phenoxy] propane (P3), on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.1 M HCl was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. Polarization measurements suggest that P1 acts as mixed type inhibitor while P2 and P3 behave as mainly cathodic inhibitors for acidic corrosion of steel. All electrochemical measurements show that inhibition efficiencies increase with increase in inhibitor concentration. This reveals that inhibitive actions of inhibitors were mainly due to adsorption on steel surface. Adsorption of these inhibitors follows Temkin adsorption isotherm. The correlation between the adsorption ability of inhibitors and their molecular structures has been investigated using quantum chemical parameters obtained by MNDO semi-empirical method. Calculated quantum chemical parameters indicate that Schiff bases adsorbed on steel surface by chemical mechanism.     

A physiochemical study of excited state intramolecular proton transfer process-Luminescent chemosensor by spectroscopic investigation supported by ab initio calculations

A group of novel Schiff base derivatives were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectra, X-ray, mass and CHN analysis. An excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process in hydroxy Schiff base (SB4) has been studied using emission spectroscopy and it was detected that the two distinct ground state isomers of I and II are responsible for the emission. The comparison of the emission wavelength in hydrocarbon solvent strongly supports that trans enol form predominates over the cis enol form for Schiff base (SB4). With increasing base concentration of the solutions of hydroxy substituted Schiff bases (SB4 and SB5), two isobestic points are found which confirm the equilibrium among the trans enol form, anion and the cis enol form. The fluorescence of (SB4) quenched markedly with the gradual addition of Cu(2+) but the fluorescence properties of (SB5) was influenced by other metal ions. Therefore Schiff base (SB5) can be used as a new fluorescence sensor to detect the quantity of Cu(2+) ion in any sample solution depending on the relative intensity change. DFT calculations on energy, dipole moment, charge distribution of the rotamers in the ground and excited states of the Schiff base derivatives were performed and discussed. PES calculation indicates that the energy barrier for the interconversion of two rotamers is too high in the excited state than the ground state.     

Influence of the nature of the metal ion on the rate of reduction of coordinated azomethine group

The kinetics of reduction of the azomethine bond in various Schiff bases and their transition metal complexes with sodium borohydride in dimethylformamide and ethanol solutions was studied. The reduction rate depends on both the structure of the starting Schiff bases and the nature of the metal ion. In transition metal N-phenylsalicylaldiminates, the rate of reduction of the azomethine group increases in the order Zn(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) < Co(II) < VO(II) < Mn(II). Similar trend is observed in other series of metal complexes with Schiff bases. The revealed trends are opposite to the Irving-Williams series of stability of complexes. This fact suggests that the major factor affecting the rate of reduction of the coordinated azomethine bond is the strength of its bonding with the metal ion. Depending on particular metal ion, the complexation can either decelerate or accelerate the reduction.
