A combination of supersonic-jet laser spectroscopy and quantum chemistry calculation was applied to 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene, BPEB, to study the role of the dark pisigma* state on electronic relaxation and the effect of ring torsion on electronic spectra. The result provides evidence for fluorescence break-off in supersonic jet at high S1(pi pi*) <-- S0 excitation energies, which can be attributed to the pi pi*-pi sigma* intersection. The threshold energy for the fluorescence break-off is much larger in BPEB (approximately 4000 cm(-1)) than in diphenylacetylene (approximately 500 cm(-1)). The high-energy barrier in BPEB accounts for the very large fluorescence quantum yield of the compound (in solution) relative to diphenylacetylene. The comparison between the experimentally derived torsional barrier and frequency with those from the computation shows overall good agreement and demonstrates that the low-energy torsional motion involves the twisting of the end ring in BPEB. The torsional barrier is almost an order of magnitude greater in the pi pi* excited state than in the ground state. The finding that the twisting of the end ring in BPEB is relatively free in the ground state, but strongly hindered in the excited state, provides rationale for the well-known temperature dependence of the spectral shape of absorption and the lack of mirror symmetry relationship between the absorption and fluorescence at elevated temperatures. 相似文献

Ultrafast excited-state relaxation dynamics of a nonlinear optical (NLO) dye, (S)-(-)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-pyrrolidinemethanol (NPP), was carried out under the regime of femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion measurements in augmentation with quantum chemical calculations. The primary concern was to trace the relaxation pathways which guide the depletion of the first singlet excited state upon photoexcitation, in such a way that it is virtually nonfluorescent. Ground- and excited-state (singlet and triplet) potential energy surfaces were calculated as a function of the -NO(2) torsional coordinate, which revealed the perpendicular orientation of -NO(2) in the excited state relative to the planar ground-state conformation. The fluorescence transients in the femtosecond regime show biexponential decay behavior. The first time component of a few hundred femtoseconds was ascribed to the ultrafast twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT). The occurrence of charge transfer (CT) is substantiated by the large dipole moment change during excitation. The construction of intensity- and area-normalized time-resolved emission spectra (TRES and TRANES) of NPP in acetonitrile exhibited a two-state emission on behalf of decay of the locally excited (LE) state and rise of the CT state with a Stokes shift of 2000 cm(-1) over a time scale of 1 ps. The second time component of a few picoseconds is attributed to the intersystem crossing (isc). In highly polar solvents both the processes occur on a much faster time scale compared to that in nonpolar solvents, credited to the differential stability of energy states in different polarity solvents. The shape of frontier molecular orbitals in the excited state dictates the shift of electron density from the phenyl ring to the -NO(2) group and is attributed to the charge-transfer process taking place in the molecule. The viscosity dependence of relaxation dynamics augments the proposition of considering the -NO(2) group torsional motion as the main excited-state relaxation coordinate. 相似文献

Ultrafast relaxation dynamics of the excited singlet (S(1)) state of Michler's ketone (MK) has been investigated in different kinds of solvents using a time-resolved absorption spectroscopic technique with 120 fs time resolution. This technique reveals that conversion of the locally excited (LE) state to the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state because of twisting of the N,N-dimethylanilino groups with respect to the central carbonyl group is the major relaxation process responsible for the multi-exponential and probe-wavelength-dependent transient absorption dynamics of the S1 state of MK, but solvation dynamics does not have a significant role in this process. Theoretical optimization of the ground-state geometry of MK shows that the dimethylanilino groups attached to the central carbonyl group are at a dihedral angle of about 51 degrees with respect to each other because of steric interaction between the phenyl rings. Following photoexcitation of MK to its S1 state, two kinds of twisting motions have been resolved. Immediately after photoexcitation, an ultrafast "anti-twisting" motion of the dimethylanilino groups brings back the pretwisted molecule to a near-planar geometry with high mesomeric interaction and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character. This motion is observed in all kinds of solvents. Additionally, in solvents of large polarity, the dimethylamino groups undergo further twisting to about 90 degrees with respect to the phenyl ring, to which it is attached, leading to the conversion of the ICT state to the TICT state. Similar characteristics of the absorption spectra of the TICT state and the anion radical of MK establish the nearly pure electron transfer (ET) character of the TICT state. In aprotic solvents, because of the steep slope of the potential energy surface near the Franck-Condon (FC) or LE state region, the LE state is nearly nonemissive at room temperature and fluorescence emission is observed from only the ICT and TICT states. Alternatively, in protic solvents, because of an intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction between MK and the solvent, the LE region is more flat and stimulated emission from this state is also observed. However, a stronger hydrogen-bonding interaction between the TICT state and the solvent as well as the closeness between the two potential energy surfaces due to the TICT and the ground states cause the nonradiative coupling between these states to be very effective and, hence, cause the TICT state to be weakly emissive. The multi-exponentiality and strong wavelength-dependence of the kinetics of the relaxation process taking place in the S1 state of MK have arisen for several reasons, such as strong overlapping of transient absorption and stimulated emission spectra of the LE, ICT, and TICT states, which are formed consecutively following photoexcitation of the molecule, as well as the fact that different probe wavelengths monitor different regions of the potential energy surface representing the twisting motion of the excited molecule. 相似文献

The architecture of windmill hexameric zinc(II) -porphyrin array 1 is attractive as a light-harvesting functional unit in view of its three-dimensionally extended geometry that is favorable for a large cross-section of incident light as well as for a suitable energy gradient from the peripheral porphyrins to the meso-meso-linked diporphyrin core. Three core-modified windmill porphyrin arrays 2-4 were prepared for the purpose of enhancing the intramolecular energy-transfer rate and coupling these arrays with a charge-separation functional unit. Bisphenylethynylation at the meso and meso' positions of the diporphyrin core indeed resulted in a remarkable enhancement in the intramolecular S1-S1 energy transfer in 2 with tau=2 approximately 3 ps, as revealed by femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. The fluorescence lifetime of the S2 state of the peripheral porphyrin energy donor determined by the fluorescence up-conversion method was 68 fs, and thus considerably shorter than that of the reference monomer (150 fs), suggesting the presence of the intramolecular energy-transfer channel in the S2 state manifold. Such a rapid energy transfer can be understood in terms of large Coulombic interactions associated with the strong Soret transitions of the donor and acceptor. Picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectra and transient absorption spectra revealed conformational relaxation of the S1 state of the diporphyrin core with tau = 25 ps. Upon photoexcitation of models 3 and 4, which bear a naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide or a meso-nitrated free-base porphyrin attached to the modified diporphyrin core as an electron acceptor, a series of photochemical processes proceeded, such as the collection of the excitation energy at the diporphyrin core, the electron transfer from the S1 state of the diporphyrin to the electron acceptor, and the electron transfer from the peripheral porphyrins to the diporphyrin cation radical, which are coupled to provide a fully charge-separated state such as that in the natural photosynthetic reaction center. The overall quantum yield for the full charge separation is better in 4 than in 3 owing to the slower charge recombination associated with smaller reorganization energy of the porphyrin acceptor. 相似文献

The electronic and fluorescence spectroscopic properties of a novel porphyrin-polypyridyl ruthenium(II) hybrid, [C(4)-TPP-(ip)Ru(phen)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (TPP=5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, ip=imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline and phen=1,10-Phenanthroline), in which a polypyridyl ruthenium(II) moiety is linked to a porphyrin moiety by a butyl chain have been investigated and compared to its corresponding reference compounds. The studies of electronic absorption spectra have shown that there is an electronic interaction between the porphyrin moiety and the polypyridyl ruthenium(II) moiety in the hybrid. It can be found that intramolecular photoinduced electron and energy transfer processes may occur in the hybrid from the fluorescence spectra. When exciting in Soret band and Q band of porphyrin, the fluorescence quenching of the porphyrin moiety of the hybrid takes place due to electron transfer from the lowest singlet excited state (S(1)) to the appended polypyridyl rutherium(II) moiety, while the decay of S(2) (the second-excited singlet state) of the porphyrin moiety is mainly contributed to internal conversion to S(1). When exciting in MLCT band of the polypyridyl ruthenium(II) moiety, fluorescence corresponding to the polypyridyl ruthenium(II) moiety is quenched by intramolecular energy transfer from (3)MLCT of the ruthenium moiety to the lowest-energy triplet state localized on the porphyrin moiety. 相似文献

通过稳态光谱实验和量子化学计算相结合,研究了黄芩素激发态质子转移耦合电荷转移的反应. 实验和计算中S1态吸收峰的缺失表明S1态是暗态. S1暗态导致在实验中观察不到黄芩素在乙醇溶液中的荧光峰,且固体的荧光峰很弱. 黄芩素分子的前线分子轨道和电荷差异密度表明S1态是电荷转移态,然而S2态是局域激发态. 计算的黄芩素分子的势能曲线在激发态只有一个稳定点,这表明了黄芩素激发态分子内质子转移的过程是一个无能垒的过程. 相似文献

To investigate the intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) process of (p-cyanophenyl)pentamethyldisilane (CPDS), laser-induced fluorescence, dispersed fluorescence, and two-color resonance enhanced two-photon ionization spectra were measured in a jet-cooled isolated condition. Dual fluorescence of CPDS was observed from a ground vibrational level in the locally excited pipi state. Similar to an emission from the charge-transfer (CT) state in solution, one of the dual emissions of the isolated molecule in the jet was assigned as the CT emission. A significant vibrational dependence on the ICT process was found as exciting vibronic levels of the molecule. It was identified that the promoting mode of the ICT process is a torsional motion of the disilanyl group with respect to the phenyl ring. It was also revealed that an effective appearance energy of the CPDS cation via the CT state is much lower than that via the locally excited pipi state suggesting that the electronic configuration of the CT state is similar to that of the cation. On the basis of an electronic configuration of the cationic state, that of the CT state was suggested to be of the (sigma(Si)(-)(Si), 2ppi) type. 相似文献

Spectral-luminescent properties of the newly synthesized 2-(3′-coumarinyl)-5-(2′-(R-amino)-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles has been investigated in solvents of various polarity and hydrogen-bonding ability. It has been found that for all the studied compounds no excited state intramolecular proton transfer occurs despite the presence of coumarinyl fragment - electron acceptor effect of the coumarinyl fragment is not sufficient to increase the excited state acidity of the amino group. It has been found that the absorption spectra of the studied compounds shift to higher energy with increase in solvent polarity, whereas corresponding fluorescence spectra shift to lower energy with solvent polarity increase. It has been suggested that long-wavelength shifts of the fluorescence spectra of the studied compounds with increase in solvent polarity is caused by the solvent relaxation. The observed solvent relaxation effect allow us to propose some of the studied compounds as potential probes to monitor changes in solvent relaxation in low-polar media and as potential probes for rigidochromic effect. 相似文献

The excited-state dynamics of a donor-acceptor phenol-pyridinium biaryl cation was investigated in various solvents by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and temperature dependent steady-state emission measurements. After excitation to a near-planar Franck-Condon delocalized excited S(1)(DE) state with mesomeric character, three fast relaxation processes are well resolved: solvation, intramolecular rearrangement leading to a twisted charge-shift (CSh) S(1) state with localized character, and excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) to the solvent leading to the phenoxide-pyridinium zwitterion. The proton transfer kinetics depends on the proton accepting character of the solvent whereas the interring torsional kinetics depends on the solvent polarity and viscosity. In nitriles, ESPT does not occur and interring twisting arises with no significant intrinsic barrier, but still slower than solvation. The CSh state is notably fluorescent. In alcohols and water, ESPT is faster than the solvation and DE → CSh relaxation processes and yields the zwitterion hot ground state, which strongly quenches the fluorescence. In THF, solvation and interring twisting occur first, leading to the fully relaxed, weakly fluorescent CSh state, followed by slow ESPT towards the zwitterion. At low temperature (77 K), the large viscous barrier of the solvent inhibits the torsional relaxation but ESPT still arises to some extent. Strong emission from the DE geometry and planar zwitterion is thus observed. Finally, quantum chemical calculations were performed on the ground and excited state of model phenol-pyridinium and phenoxide-pyridinium compounds. Strong S(1) state energy stabilization is predicted upon twisting in both cases, consistent with a fast relaxation towards the perpendicular geometry. A substantial S(0)-S(1) energy gap is still present for the twisted cationic species, which can explain the long-lived emission of the CSh state in nitriles. A quite different situation arises with the zwitterion for which the S(0)-S(1) energy gap predicted at the twisted geometry is very small. This suggests a close-lying conical intersection and can account for the strong fluorescence quenching observed in solvents where the zwitterion is produced by ESPT. 相似文献

The intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in S(1) deuterated p-difluorobenzene (pDFB-d(4) or -d(4)) has been studied to determine the IVR threshold. For this, the S(1) <-- S(0) fluorescence excitation (FE) spectrum of jet-cooled d(4) was investigated in the 2000-3250 cm(-1) vibronic energy range of the S(1) electronic state, and single vibronic level fluorescence (SVLF) spectra have been acquired by exciting selected levels lying between 750 and 2850 cm(-1) in vibrational energy in the S(1) excited state. Congestion of the dispersed fluorescence in this molecule first appears as the vibrational level energy climbs above 2000 cm(-1). By comparing the SVLF spectra of pDFB-d(4) with those of p-difluorobenzene (pDFB or -h(4)), it is obvious that IVR threshold in -d(4) is localized with a few hundreds cm(-1) lower than that in pDFB. This decrease is entirely due to the increase in vibrational state density due to deuteration. 相似文献

Ultrafast relaxation dynamics of the S2 and S1 states of 4,4'-bis(N,N-dimethylamino)thiobenzophenone (Michler's thione, MT) have been investigated in different kinds of solvents, using steady-state absorption and emission as well as femtosecond transient absorption and fluorescence up-conversion spectroscopic techniques. Steady-state fluorescence measurements, following photoexcitation to the S2 state of MT, reveal weak fluorescence from the S2 state (phi F approximately 10(-3) in nonpolar and 10(-4) in polar solvents) but much weaker fluorescence from the S1 state. Yield of fluorescence from the S2 state is reduced in polar solvents because of reduced energy gap between the S2 and S1 states, Delta E(S2-S1), as well as interaction with the solvent molecules. Occurrence of S2-fluorescence in polar solvents, despite small energy gap, suggests that symmetry allowed S2(1A1) --> S0 (1A1) radiative and symmetry forbidden S2(1A1) --> S1 (1A2) nonradiative transitions are the factors responsible for the S2 fluorescence in MT. Lifetime of the S2 state is shorter (varying in the range 0.28-3.5 ps in different solvents) than that predicted from the Delta E(S2-S1) value and this can be attributed to its flexible molecular structure, which promotes an efficient intramolecular radiationless deactivation pathways. The lifetime of the S1 state (approximately 1.9-6.5 ps) is also very short because of small energy difference between the S1 and T1 states (Delta E(S1-T1) approximately 300 cm(-1)) in cyclohexane and hydrogen-bonding interaction as well as the presence of the isoenergetic T1(pipi*) state to enhance the rate of the intersystem crossing process from the S1(npi*) state in protic solvents. 相似文献

We investigated the spectroscopy of the first excited singlet electronic state S1 of 2-phenylindene using both fluorescence excitation spectroscopy and resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy. Moreover, we investigated the dynamics of the S1 state by determining state-selective fluorescence lifetimes up to an excess energy of approximately 3400 cm(-1). Ab initio calculations were performed on the torsional potential energy curve and the equilibrium and transition state geometries and normal-mode frequencies of the first excited singlet state S1 on the CIS level of theory. Numerous vibronic transitions were assigned, especially those involving the torsional normal mode. The torsional potentials of the ground and first excited electronic states were simulated by matching the observed and calculated torsional frequency spacings in a least-squares fitting procedure. The simulated S1 potential showed very good agreement with the ab initio potential calculated on the CIS/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. TDDFT energy corrections improved the match with the simulated S(1) torsional potential. The latter calculation yielded a torsional barrier of V2 = 6708 cm(-1), and the simulation a barrier of V2 = 6245 cm(-1). Ground-state normal-mode frequencies were calculated on the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory, which were used to interpret the infrared spectrum, the FDS spectrum of the transition and hot bands of the FES spectrum. The fluorescence intensities of the nu49 overtone progression could reasonably be reproduced by considering the geometry changes upon electronic excitation predicted by the ab initio calculations. On the basis of the torsional potential calculations, it could be ruled out that the uniform excess energy dependence of the fluorescence lifetimes is linked to the torsional barrier in the excited state. The rotational band contour simulation of the transition yielded rotational constants in close agreement to the ab initio values for both electronic states. Rotational coherence signals were obtained by polarization-analyzed, time-resolved measurements of the fluorescence decay of the transition. The simulation of these signals yielded corroborating evidence as to the quality of the ab initio calculated rotational constants of both states. The origin of the anomalous intensity discrepancy between the fluorescence excitation spectrum and the REMPI spectrum is discussed. 相似文献

The role of ring torsion in the enhancement of intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in aromatic molecules was investigated by conducting excitation and dispersed fluorescence spectroscopy of 1,1'-binaphthyl (1,1'-BN) and 2,2'-BN. The dispersed fluorescence spectra of 1,1'-BN in the origin region of S(1)-S(0) were well resolved, which presented 25-27 cm(-1) gaps of torsional mode in the ground state. The overall profile of the dispersed spectra of 1,1'-BN is similar to that of naphthalene. In contrast, the spectra of 2,2'-BN were not resolved due to the multitude of the active torsional modes. In both cases, dissipative IVR was observed to take place with a relatively small excess vibrational energy: 237.5 cm(-1) for 1,1'-BN and 658 cm(-1) for 2,2'-BN, which clearly shows that ring torsion efficiently enhances the IVR rate. Ab initio and density functional theory calculations with medium-sized basis sets showed that the torsional potential of 1,1'-BN has a very flat minimum over the range of torsional angles from ca. 60° to 120°, whereas that of 2,2'-BN showed two well-defined potential minima at ca. 40° and 140°, in resemblance to the case of biphenyl. In this work, we propose that aromatic molecules be classified into "strong" and "weak" torsional hindrance cases: molecules with strong hindrance case show shorter torsional progressions and more effective IVR dynamics than do those with weak hindrance. 相似文献

The dynamics of the excited states of 1‐aminofluoren‐9‐one (1AF) and 1‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)‐fluoren‐9‐one (1DMAF) are investigated by using steady‐state absorption and fluorescence as well as subpicosecond time‐resolved absorption spectroscopic techniques. Following photoexcitation of 1AF, which exists in the intramolecular hydrogen‐bonded form in aprotic solvents, the excited‐state intramolecular proton‐transfer reaction is the only relaxation process observed in the excited singlet (S1) state. However, in protic solvents, the intramolecular hydrogen bond is disrupted in the excited state and an intermolecular hydrogen bond is formed with the solvent leading to reorganization of the hydrogen‐bond network structure of the solvent. The latter takes place in the timescale of the process of solvation dynamics. In the case of 1DMAF, the main relaxation pathway for the locally excited singlet, S1(LE), or S1(ICT) state is the configurational relaxation, via nearly barrierless twisting of the dimethylamino group to form the twisted intramolecular charge‐transfer, S1(TICT), state. A crossing between the excited‐state and ground‐state potential energy curves is responsible for the fast, radiationless deactivation and nonemissive character of the S1(TICT) state in polar solvents, both aprotic and protic. However, in viscous but strong hydrogen‐bond‐donating solvents, such as ethylene glycol and glycerol, crossing between the potential energy surfaces for the ground electronic state and the hydrogen‐bonded complex formed between the S1(TICT) state and the solvent is possibly avoided and the hydrogen‐bonded complex is weakly emissive. 相似文献

A combined theoretical and experimental study of the structure, optical, and photophysical properties of four 2,7-carbazolenevinylene-based derivatives in solution is presented. Geometry optimizations of the ground states of PCP, PCP-CN, TCT, and TCT-CN were carried out using the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP/6-31G*). It is found that PCP and TCT are nearly planar in their ground electronic states (S0), whereas the cyano derivatives are more twisted. The nature and the energy of the first singlet-singlet electronic transitions have been obtained from time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations performed on the optimized geometries. For all the compounds, excitation to the S1 state corresponds mainly to the promotion of one electron from the highest-occupied molecular orbital to the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital, and the S1 <-- S0 electronic transition is strongly allowed and polarized along the long axis of the molecular frame. The optimization (relaxation) of the first singlet excited electronic state (S1) has been done using the restricted configuration interaction (singles) (RCIS/6-31G*) approach. It is observed that all four investigated compounds become more planar in their S1 relaxed excited state. Electronic transition energies from the relaxed excited states have been obtained from TDDFT calculations performed on the S1-optimized geometries. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the carbazolenevinylenes have been recorded in chloroform. A good agreement is obtained between TDDFT vertical transitions energies and the (0,0) absorption and fluorescence bands. The change from phenylene to thiophene rings as well as the incorporation of cyano substituents induce bathochromic shifts in the absorption and fluorescence spectra. From the analysis of the energy of the frontier molecular orbitals, it is believed that thiophene rings and CN substituents induce some charge-transfer character to the first electronic transition, which is responsible for the red shifts observed. Finally, the fluorescence quantum yield and the lifetime of the compounds in chloroform have been obtained. In sharp contrast with many oligothiophenes, it is observed that TCT possesses a high fluorescence quantum yield. On the other hand, the CN-containing derivatives exhibit much lower fluorescence quantum yields, probably due to the combined influence of steric effects and charge-transfer interactions caused by the cyano groups. 相似文献

Ground and excited state inter- and intramolecular proton transfer reactions of a new o-hydroxy Schiff base, 7-ethylsalicylidenebenzylamine (ESBA) have been investigated by means of absorption, emission and nanosecond spectroscopy in different protic solvents at room temperature and 77 K. The excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) is evidenced by a large Stokes shifted emission (approximately 11000 cm(-1)) at a selected excited energy in alcoholic solvents. Spectral characteristics obtained reveal that ESBA exists in more than one structural form in most of the protic solvents, both in the ground and excited states. From the nanosecond measurements and quantum yield of fluorescence we have estimated the decay rate constants, which are mainly represented by nonradiative decay rates. At 77 K the fluorescence spectra are found to be contaminated with phosphorescence spectra in glycerol and ethylene glycol. It is shown that the fluorescence intensity and nature of the species present are dependent upon the excitation energy. 相似文献

A recently reported new class of ruthenium complexes containing 2,2′‐bipyridine and a dipyrrin ligand in the coordination sphere exhibit both strong metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MLCT) and π–π* transitions. Quantitative analysis of the resonance Raman scattering intensities and absorption spectra reveals only weak electronic interactions between these states despite direct coordination of the bipyridyl and dipyrrin ligands to the central ruthenium atom. On the basis of DFT calculations and time‐dependent DFT (TD‐DFT), we propose that the electronic excited states closely resemble “pure” MLCT and π–π* states. Resonance Raman intensity analysis demonstrates that a large amplitude transannular torsional motion provides a mechanism for relaxation on the π–π* excited‐state surface. We assert that this result is generally applicable to a range of dipyrrin complexes such as boron–dipyrrin and metallodipyrrin systems. Despite the large torsional distortion between the phenyl ring and the dipyrromethene plane, π–π* excitation extends out onto the phenyl ring which may have important consequences in solar‐energy‐conversion applications of ruthenium–dipyrrin complexes. 相似文献
