Study of the electronic spectra of 2-fluoro-5-chloropyridine and determination of the excited state dipole moment

The ultraviolet absorption spectrum in the region 300-190 nm in the vapour phase and in solution in different solvents, and the luminescence emission spectra in ethanol and cyclohexane at 77 K have been measured for 2-fluoro-5-chloropyridine and analysed. The molecule shows two systems of absorption bands corresponding to the π→π* transition II and π→π* transition III. The oscillator strength of the two systems of absorption bands in solutions and the excited state dipole moment in the ¹π, π* state have been determined. The half-life of phosphorescence in cyclohexane is measured and found to be 3·6 s.

The effect of solvents on the electronic absorption spectra of mesoionic 1,8,4 thiadiazolium-2-thiolate derivatives

The electronic absorption spectra of 4,5-diphenyl-, 4-pheriyl-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-, 4-phenyl-5-(4-chlorophenyI)-, and 4-phenyl-.5-methyl-1,3,4-lhiadiazolium-2-thiolates have been measured in twenty-one pure solvents, aqueous ethanol and acetone solutions and cyclohexane-chloroform mixtures. They were found to exhibit three characteristic absorption bands; the first in the range 330-440 nm, the second at 260-280 run and the third near 200 ran. The first band was assigned to n → π* transition whereas the other two bands were assigned to π →π* transition. The n → π* transition band was found to be very sensitive, and the polarity of solvents, and some correlations between well-known solvent polarity parameters and the transition energies of these compounds have been presented.     

Theoretical Studies on the Electronic Structures and Spectral Properties of 4,4′-（Ethane-1,2-diylbis-（oxy））dibenzaldehyde and Its Polymorph

The ground state geometries, frontier molecular orbital properties, and absorption properties of 4,4′-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxy))dibenzaldehyde (EDO-DBDHD) and its polymorph have been studied theoretically. The density functional theory (DFT) method was employed to optimize the ground state geometries, and theoretical data reveal that EDO-DBDHD features the planar molecular conformations, in contrast to V-shaped structures of its polymorph, which agrees with the experimental data. Additionally, the absorption spectra of both compounds were predicted using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The calculated results show that the lowest lying absorption bands of these compounds have the transition configurations of HOMO → LUMO, resulting in the transition character of π→π*/n→π*. The transition of HOMO → LUMO+3 mainly contributes to the highest lying absorption bands of two compounds at 225 nm with the character of π→π*/n→π*.

Spezifisch π→π*-induzierte Reaktionen von γ-Dimethoxymethylcyclohexen-2-onen: 1,3-Umlagerung und Wasserstoffabstraktion durch das α-Kohlenstoffatom

When α,β-unsaturated γ-dimethoxymethyl cyclohexenones are excited to the S₂(π,π*) state, certain unimolecular reactions can be observed to compete with S₂ → S₁ internal conversion. These reactions do not occur from the S₁(n,π*) or the lowest T(π,π* and n,π*) states. They comprise the radical elimination of the formylacetal substituent (cf. 8 , 9 → 32 + 33 ), γ → α formylacetal migration (cf. 6 → 27 , 8 → 30 , 9 → 34 , 12 → 37 ), and a cyclization process involving the transfer of a methoxyl hydrogen to the α carbon and ring closure at the β position (cf. 6 → 28 , 8 → 31 , 12 → 38 , 20 → 40 + 41 ). The quantum yield of the ring closure 20a → 40a + 41a is 0.016 at ≤ 0.05M concentration. It is independent of the excitation wavelength within the π→π* absorption band (238–254 nm), but Φ ( 40a + 41a ) decreases at higher concentrations. According to the experimental data the reactive species of these specifically π→π*-induced transformations is placed energetically higher than the S₁(n,π*) state, and it is either identical with the thermally equilibrated S₂(n,π*) state, or reached via this latter state. The linear dienone 14 undergoes a similar π→π*-induced cyclization (→ 42 ) whereas the benzohomologue 26 proved unreactive, and the dienone 22 at both n → π and π→π* excitation only gives rise to rearrangements generally characteristic of cross-conjugated cyclohexadienones.     

Absorption Spectra and Photoreactivity of Para-aminobenzophenone by Time-dependent Density Functional Theory

The absorption spectral properties of para-aminobenzophenone (p-ABP) were investigated in gas phase and in solution by time-dependent density functional theory. Calculations suggest that the singlet states vary greatly with the solvent polarities. In various polar solvents, including acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and dimethyl formamide, the excited S1 states with charge transfer character result from π→π* transitions. However, in nonpolar solvents, cyclohexane, and benzene, the S1 states are the result of n→π* transitions related to local excitation in the carbonyl group. The excited T1 states were calculated to have ππ* character in various solvents. From the variation of the calculated excited states, the band due to π→π* transition undergoes a redshift with an increase in solvent polarity, while the band due to n→π* transition undergoes a blueshift with an increase in solvent polarity. In addition, the triplet yields and the photoreactivities of p-ABP in various solvents are discussed.

Experimental and theoretical (INDO CI) electronic absorption spectroscopy in the examination of tautomeric phenomena in nitracrine and its nitre isomers

Electronic absorption spectroscopy was employed to examine tautomeric phenomena in N,N-dimethyl-N-(1-nitro-9-acridinyl)-1,3-propanediamine (known as nitracrine—WHO, or Ledakrin in Poland) which exhibits antitumour activity, and also to examine its three nitro isomers. The analysis of the experimental absorption spectra reveals that the compounds exist in the liquid-phase in at least two forms (most probably amino and imino tautomeric forms), remaining in an equilibrium which is strongly affected by the features of a solvent. This was qualitatively confirmed by examining frequencies and oscillator strengths of electronic transitions obtained for the lowest energy structures of a given form by two independent methods based on INDO approximation. The latter methods predict that the strongest transitions occurring below 280 nm have a π→π* origin, whereas the longest wavelength transitions may be either π→π* or n→π* type and cause a shift in electron density within the acridine aromatic system and attached nitro group and exocyclic nitrogen atom.     

Thioketone spectroscopy: An analysis of the lower electronic transitions in thioacetone and thioacetaldehyde

Visible and ultraviolet spectra of the unstable species, thioacetaldehyde, CH₃CHS, thioacetone, (CH₃)₂CS, and thioacetone-d₆ have been studied in the gas phase. The valence n → π* excitations, Ã ← X? and ã ← X?, have been identified. Rydberg n → 4s, 4p_y and 4p_z and π → π* valence excitations have been found in thioacetone. In thioacetaldehyde a Rydberg-valence interaction mixes the n,4s and π,π* states which leads to a broad absorption of mixed character between 200 and 220 nm.     

Ligand effects on structures and spectroscopic properties of pyridine-2-aldoxime complexes of Re(CO)3(+): DFT/TDDFT theoretical studies

The series of novel rhenium(I) tricarbonyl mixed-ligand complexes Re(X)(CO)(3)(N^N) (N^N = pyridine-2-aldoxime; X = -Cl, 1; X = -CN, 2; and X = -C≡C, 3) has been investigated theoretically to explore the ligand X effect on their electronic structures and spectroscopic properties. The contribution of the X ligand to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and HOMO-1 decreases in the order of 3 > 1 > 2, in line with the π-donating abilities of the X: -C≡C > -Cl > -CN. The reorganization energy (λ) calculations show that 1 and 3 will result in the higher efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes than 2. The lowest-lying absorptions of 1 and 3 can be assigned to the {[d(xz), d(yz)(Re) + π(CO) + π(X)] → [π* (N^N)]} transition with mixing metal-to-ligand, ligand-to-ligand, and X ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT/LLCT/XLCT) character, whereas this absorption at 354 nm (H-1 → L) of 2 is assigned to {[d(xz), d(yz)(Re) + π(CO) + π(N^N)] → [π* (N^N)]} transition with MLCT/LLCT/ILCT (intraligand charge transfer). Furthermore, the absorptions are red-shifted in the order 2, 1, and 3, with the increase of π-donating abilities of X ligands. The solvent effects cause red shifts of the absorption and emission spectra with decreasing solvent polarity.     

Photochemische Reaktionen. 68. Mitteilung. Die Photoisomerisierung von α,β-ungesättigten γ,δ-Epoxyketonen: 9α, 10α- und 9β, 10β-Oxido-3-oxo-17β-acetoxy-Δ4-östren

Irradiation in the n→π* absorption band of the α,β-unsaturated γ,δ-epoxyketone 5 in ethanol at ?65° exclusively afforded the rearranged ene-dione 13 , whereas at + 24° under otherwise unchanged reaction conditions or upon triplet sensitization with Michler's ketone and with acetophenone at + 24° essentially identical mixtures of 13 (major product), 14 , and 15 were obtained. Selective π→π* excitation of 5 at ?78° and + 24° led to similar product patterns. The 9β,10β-epimeric epoxyketone 7 selectively isomerized to 14 and 15 at + 24° and n → π* or π → π* excitation. Neither the epoxyketones 5 and 7 nor the photoproducts 13–15 were photochemically interconverted. In separate photolyses each of the latter gave the double bond isomers 16 , 18 , and 19 , respectively. Cleavage of 13 to the dienone aldehyde 17 competed with the double bond shift ( → 16 ) when photolyzed in alcoholic solvents instead of benzene. The selective transformations 5 → 13 (at ?65° and n → π* excitation) and 7 → 14 + 15 are attributed to stereoelectronic factors facilitating the skeletal rearrangements of the diradicals 53 and 55 , the likely primary photoproducts resulting from epoxide cleavage in the triplet-excited compounds 5 and 7 , via the transition states 54 , 56 , and 57 . The loss of selectivity in product formation from 5 at higher temperature and n → π* excitation or triplet sensitization is explicable in terms of radical dissociation into 58 and 59 increasingly participating at the secondary thermal transformations of 53 . The similar effect of π → π* excitation even at ?78° indicates that some of the π,π* singlet energy may become available as thermal activation energy. It is further suggested that the considerably lesser ring strain in 14 and 15 , as compared with 13 , is responsible that selectivity in product formation from 7 is maintained also at +24° and at π → π* excitation.     

Theoretical studies on Ru(fppz)2(CO)L (L = N-heterocyclic ligand): Electronic structure, absorption, phosphorescence, and solvatochromism

A series of ruthenium(II) complexes Ru(fppz)₂(CO)L [fppz = 3-trifluoromethyl-5(2-pyridyl)pyrazole; L = pyridine (1), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2), 4-cyanopyridine (3)] were designed and investigated theoretically to explore their electronic structures, absorption, and emissions as well as the solvatochromism. The singlet ground state and triplet excited state geometries were fully optimized at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ and CIS/LANL2DZ level, respectively. The HOMO of 1–3 is composed of d_yz(Ru) atom and π(fppz). The LUMO of 1 and 2 is dominantly contributed by π*(fppz) orbital, but that of 3 is contribute by π*(L). Absorption and phosphorescence in vacuo, C₆H₁₂, and CH₃CN media were calculated using the TD-DFT level of theory with the PCM model based on the optimized ground and excited state geometries, respectively. The lowest-lying absorption of 1 and 2 at 387 and 391 nm is attributed to {[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] → [π*(fppz)]} transition, but that of 3 at 479 nm is assigned to {[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] → [π*(L)]} transition. The phosphorescence of 1 and 2 at 436 and 438 nm originates from ³{[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] [π*(fppz)]} excited state, while that of 3 at 606 nm is from ³{[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] [π*(L)]} excited state. The calculation results showed that the absorption and emission transition character can be changed from MLCT/ILCT to MLCT/LLCT transition by altering the substituent on the L ligand. The phosphorescence of 1 and 2 does not have solvatochromism, but that of 3 at 606 nm (vacuo), 584 nm (C₆H₁₂), and 541 nm (CH₃CN) is strongly dependent on the solvent polarity, so introducing electron-withdrawing group on ligand L will induce remarkable solvatochromism.     

Interligand transmetallic charge-transfer transitions in mixed-ligand chelates

In chelates of divalent zinc which have two different aromatic ligands, a new absorption band is observed in the visible region. This new band is interpreted as arising from a π→π* interligand transmetallic charge-transfer (ITCT) transition. The nature of this type of charge-transfer transition in a chelate molecule, using a molecular orbital model, is examined. Experimental results for the chelates (3,4-toluenedithiolato)(1,10-phenanthroline)zinc(II), (3,4-toluenedithiolato)(2,2′-dipyridyl)zinc(II),and (3,4-toluenedithiolato)(2,2′-biquinoline)zinc(II) are presented.     

Density Functional Studies on Isonicotinato Lead(II) Complex [Pb(C5H4NCOO)2]

1 INTRODUCTION Recently, the chemistry of lead is of interest in relation to its toxicity and effects on intelligence in human populations[1~3]. The design of drugs to coun- teract the effects of lead poisoning requires estab- lishing the preferred ligands of Pb(II) and their ste- reochemistry. Consequently, synthesis of chelated- form antidotes for lead(II) ion toxicosis has attracted more and more attention, and numerous reports con- cerning experimental coordination chemistry of lead(…     

Local orbitals for the study of the π→π* excitation in polyenes

Localized orbitals have recently been employed in large ab initio calculations, but their use has generally been restricted to ground‐state problems. In this work, we analyze the molecular orbitals of the excited states, optimized with a recently proposed local procedure. This method produces local orbitals of the CAS–SCF type, which permits its application to the study of excited states. In particular, we focus on the π→π* triplet excited state in polyenes, calculated using a 2/2 CAS space which includes two electrons in one π and one π* orbitals. In small polyenes, these two singly occupied active orbitals are delocalized all along the molecule. The extent of the delocalization is analyzed by studying polyenes of increasing size. Different polyenes have been studied, going from C₁₄H₁₆ to the C₇₀H₇₂ polyene. The relation of the π→π* excitation with the cation and anion systems is also discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Zur Deutung des UV.-Spektrums von Pyridin-N-oxid

From measurements of the influence of an electric field on the absorption spectrum of pyridine-N-oxide it is concluded that the 330 nm band is polarized perpendicular to the dipole moment, while the 280 nm transition moment lies parallel. Furthermore from these experiments the dipole moments in both excited states have been determined (Table 1). PARISER -PARR -POPLE -calculations as well as CNDO-calculations admit an assignment of the 330 nm band to an A₁ → B₁, π → π* transition and of the 280 nm band to an A₁ → A₁, π → π* transition. Thereby energy, polarization, intensity of the transition, and the dipole moments of the excited states have been taken into consideration. This assignment does not exclude the possibility of a weak n-π* transition at approximately the same wavelength as the A₁ → B₁ transition.     

有机及金属有机苯乙炔树状分子体系的非线性光学性质的理论研究

应用密度泛函理论研究了一系列有机及金属有机苯乙炔树状分子的激发态性质和非线性光学性质。计算的电子吸收光谱显示这些树状分子均在低能区域有一个最强的吸收;此外,金属有机体系的吸收光谱和有机体系相比发生了明显的红移。响应性质的计算结果表明共轭体系的扩展和金属有机基团的引入都使得苯乙炔树状分子的非线性光学极化率显著增加,尤其是含Ru体系,其β和γ值呈数量级增长。对于有机体系和含Pd体系,发生在共轭体系内部的π→π*电荷跃迁是产生分子一阶和二阶超极化率的主要原因。而含Ru体系相当大的非线性响应则主要起源于Ru的轨道到共轭体系的π*的跃迁,同时与Ru相邻的C≡C到共轭体系的π→π*跃迁起着辅助贡献。
