Luminescence Properties of New Fused Benzothiophene Derivatives and Their Conductive Oligomers Structural and Solvent Effects

The structural and solvent effects on the electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence quantum yields, of four new fused benzothiophene derivatives, including benzothieno[3,2b]-thiophene (BTT), benzothieno[3,2-b]benzothiophene (BTBT), 6-methoxy[1]benzothieno[3,2b]-thiophene (MeOBTT), and benzothieno[3,2-b]indole (BTI) were investigated at 295 K. The luminescence properties of the corresponding conductive oligomers, poly(BTT) and poly (MeOBTT), electrosynthesized in acetonitrile, were also studied. Satisfactory McRae, Suppan, and Kawski-Chamma-Viallet solvatochromic correlations were established for the four monomers in most solvents. A weak negative solvatochromic behavior was found for these compounds, indicating that their dipole moments are slightly lower in the excited singlet state than in the ground state. Kamlet-Abboud-Taft multiparametric correlations were also obtained for absorption and fluorescence wave numbers and quantum yields, demonstrating the existence of specific solute-solvent interactions. In the case of the oligomers, important red-shifts of the fluorescence emission maxima ( 90–110 nm) relative to the corresponding monomers were observed, which shows the extent of conjugated segments in the oligomer chains.

Dipole Moments of Phenylnaphthylamine Fluorescence Probes and Study of Dielectric Interactions in Human Erythrocyte Ghosts

Electrooptical absorption and emission methods were used to measure the dipole moments of 1-phenylnaphthylamine (1-AN) and 1,8-anilinonaphthalene sulfonate (1,8-ANS) fluorescence probes in the ground and excited states. The measurements were performed in cyclohexane (1-AN) and dioxane (1-AN and 1,8-ANS). Our results show that the charge distribution in 1-AN differs substantially from that in 1,8-ANS. The spectral dependence of electrooptical coefficients in the case of 1,8-ANS indicates that the absorption band is a superposition of several (at least two) electronic transitions. We found that the electronic spectra of 1-AN in erythrocyte ghosts are inhomogeneously broadened. Due to inhomogeneous broadening it is possible to excite selectively molecules located at different sites. Dielectric interactions (given by the dielectric constant) were investigated from the position of the maximum of the fluorescence quantum spectra of 1-AN. The dielectric constant of human erythrocyte ghosts varies from about 6.7 ± 0.8 to about 17.6 ± 3.5, depending on the excitation frequency and, consequently, on the location of the probe.

Hybrid of Quantum Phases for Induced Dipole Moments

The quantum phase effects for induced electric and magnetic dipole moments are investigated.It is shown that the phase shift received by the induced electric dipole has the same form as the one induced by magnetic dipole moment,therefore the total phase is a hybrid of these two types of phase.This feature indicates that to have a decisive measurement on either one of these two phases,it is necessary to measure the velocity dependence of the observed phase.     

Solvent and Temperature Effects on Polymer-Coated Glass Fibers. Fluorescence of the Dansyl Moiety

E-type glass fibers were coated with poly(-aminopropyltriethoxysilane), treating them with a 1% (v/v) monomer aqueous solution. The fibers were labeled with a dansyl-sulfonamide conjugate by reaction of acetonitrile solutions of dansyl chloride with the amine groups immobilized on the glass fiber surface. Interactions of the labeled coating polymer with solvents of different polarities were estimated by measurements of the fluorescence band shifts of the label. It was found that for aprotic solvents, the solvent dipolar coupling relaxation mechanism is dominated by thermodynamic interactions of the solvent with the polymer matrix, while for protic solvents this mechanism is dominated by specific interactions between solvent molecules and the excited state of the chromophore. Different experimental excited-state dipole moments were obtained for nonpolar and polar solvents (^* _NP = 7.2 ± 1.6 D, ^* _P = 11.9 ± 1.5 D). Using the AM1 method, excited-state dipole moments for the first and second singlets were calculated and it was concluded that ^* _NP ^*2 ₁^1/2 and ^* _P ^*2 ₂^1/2. Accordingly, neither the glass support nor the coating polar influence the excited-state properties of dansyl. The temperature dependence of dansyl emission allows the determination of the relaxation temperature of the coating polymer, which was estimated as 175 K for the coating used.

Determination of the Dipole Moments of Excited Complexes of Polar Compounds in Proton-Donor Solvents by the Quenching of their Fluorescence

A method of determining the permanent dipole moment of polar compounds in the excited S₁ state by the dependence of the rate of radiationless conversion of the energy of this state on the polarity of the solvent (medium) is proposed. The method was used for determining the dipole moment µ_e of hydrogen-bonded complexes formed by 4-amino-, 4-methylamino-, and 4-dimethylamino-N-methylphthalimides (4AMP, 4MAMP, and 4DMAMP) in proton-donor solvents. It has been established that µ_e = 11.68 D for 4AMP in alcohols, µ_e = 11.84 D for 4MAMP in alcohols, and µ_e = 13.19 D for 4DMAMP in alcohols and water.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 2, pp. 186–191, March–April, 2005.     

Novel Quadruple Fluorescence Properties of Two Benzoylthiourea Isomers

Two benzoylthiourea isomers, N-2-flurobenzoy-N'-4- (N,N-dimethyl)amidophenylthiourea (2FBDAPT) and N-4-fluro-benzoy-N'-4- (N,N-dimethyl)amidophenylthiourea (4FBDAPT) were determined by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray diffraction. It was found that intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds played an important role in determining their conformations. Electronic spectra of the two compounds were investigated by UV absorption and steady-state fluorescence methods. The intermolecular hydrogen bond between the title compounds and methanol molecules caused the long wavelength absorption bands in methanol to weaken and vanish indeed. Quadruple fluorescence bands in ultraviolet and visible region were observed in the studied solvents upon the variable excitation wavelength. As same as Azumaya's suggestions for benzanilide (BA), F4 fluorescence bands with the maximum wavelength (λ(max)) between 546?nm and 622?nm were characteristic of TICT fluorescence. F3 bands of λ(max) from 434?nm to 483?nm were explained by the ESIPT model of the S1 state of the thiol tautomer to the S1 state of the keto tautomer. The new proposition was that F2 bands with λ(max) at about 365?nm were attributed to ESIPT from the S1 state of the thiol tautomer to the S0 state of the enol tautomer. And F1 fluorescence emissions with λ(max) at about 310?nm originated from the local S1 transitions of the enol tautomer. All experimental results were supported by MP2, CASSCF and CASPT2 quantum chemical calculations.

溶剂对石墨烯量子点荧光性质的影响

采用柠檬酸热解法制备了石墨烯量子点(GQDs),研究了非极性溶剂戊烷,极性溶剂乙醇、丙酮、乙二醇对GQDs荧光性质的影响。透射电子显微镜(TEM)和原子力显微镜(AFM)图像表明,制备的GQDs尺寸分布在2~12 nm(平均尺寸为4.9 nm),分散均匀,高度分布在0.5~2 nm。吸收光谱表明,GQDs具有明显的紫外吸收特性,吸收峰位于259 nm和274 nm。光致发光谱表明,GQDs的发光具有明显的溶剂依赖性。GQDs在极性溶剂乙醇、丙酮、乙二醇中,发光峰的位置依赖于激发波长,发射波长在可见光区。而在非极性溶剂戊烷中,GQDs表现出对激发波长不依赖的荧光性能,且发射波长在近紫外。     

Electric Dipole Moments of Light Nuclei From Chiral Effective Field Theory

Recent calculations of EDMs of light nuclei in the framework of chiral effective field theory are presented. We argue that they can be written in terms of the leading six low-energy constants encoding CP-violating physics. EDMs of the deuteron, triton, and helion are explicitly given in order to corroborate our claim. An eventual non-zero measurement of these EDMs can be used to disentangle the different sources and strengths of CP-violation.     

溶剂对香豆素343染料光谱性质和最低激发态偶极矩的影响

通过对香豆素343(C343)在不同溶剂中的稳态吸收光谱、稳态荧光光谱和时间分辨荧光光谱的分析,研究了溶剂对C343的光谱性质的影响,并获得了光谱特性与溶剂极性之间的依赖关系. 吸收光谱峰值的红移随着溶剂极性的增加而发生较小的变化. 然而,荧光光谱的峰值对溶剂的极性却很敏感,并随着溶剂极性参数f(ε,n)的增加呈线性增长. 这是由于C343激发态电荷分布的变化导致了它在极性溶剂中第一激发单重态能级的变化. 用溶剂效应测量法和量子化学计算方法确定了C343最低激发态的偶极矩,这两方法所得的结果一致. C343在不同溶剂中的时间分辨荧光光谱研究表明荧光寿命随着溶剂极性的增加而增加,即从甲苯溶液的3.09 ns线性地增加到水溶液中4.45 ns;荧光寿命延长的根源可归因于C343与氢键给体溶剂之间的分子间氢键相互作用.     

Prospects on Determining Electric Dipole Moments of ∑ and Hyperons at BESⅢ

The electric dipole moment of ∑（or ） hyperon, d∑ （or d ）, can be detected by analyzing the angular distribution in the decay process of J/φ → ∑^0^-∑^0（ ）. The dependence of d∑ （or d ） on the free parameters describing the angular distribution is studied in detail with a Monte Carlo simulation based on 10^9 J/φ events expected in one year data taking at BESⅢ. The result shows that an expected upper limit with 10^-16 ,- 10^-18 ecru on d∑ （or d ） can be achieved depending on the true values of free parameters.     

Synthesis of Novel Carbazole Fused Coumarin Derivatives and DFT Approach to Study Their Photophysical Properties

Novel coumarin derivatives have been synthesized by the classical Knoevenagel condensation of 4-hydroxy-9-methyl-9H-carbazole-3-carbaldehyde with active methylene compounds and characterized. Effect of solvent polarity on the photophysical properties, absorption and emission has been studied. The photophysical properties of the synthesized coumarins have been compared with some of the established analogous coumarin derivatives. Investigation of the structural parameters and understanding photophysical properties of the synthesized coumarin derivatives were carried out using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time Dependant Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) computations. The experimental values were correlated with the theoretical derived results. The ratio of the excited state and the ground state dipole moments was calculated by using solvatochromic and solvatofluoric data and compared with the values obtained from DFT and TDDFT computations.     

Fourth-Order Rotational Corrections to the Effective Dipole Moments of Nonrigid Asymmetric Rotors

An expression for the fourth-order rotational correction terms of the effective dipole moments of nonrigid asymmetric rotors has been derived using the method of contact transformation. The treatment takes into account the large-amplitude bending motion. The correction terms have been calculated for the different bending states of the H(2)O molecule. A poor convergence of the rotational series for this molecule has been obtained and some different nonpolynomial forms for these series, obtained by different summation methods, have been proposed and tested.
