2-phenoxathiinyl-5-phenyloxazole and 5-phenoxathiinyl-2-phenyloxazole derivatives: experimental and theoretical study of emission properties

The absorption and emission spectra in cyclohexane and methanol of the title phenoxathiinyl-phenyloxazole derivatives are presented and discussed. Comparing to the unsubstituted diphenyloxazole (PPO), the experimental results show a bathochromic shift of the emission band, a significant dependence of the maximum on the solvent polarity and a drastic decrease of the fluorescence quantum yield. Semiempirical MO calculations (AM1) in both the ground and excited states support the experimental findings. A charge transfer from the phenoxathiin fragment to the oxazole ring is predicted in the excited state explaining the solvatochromism of the compounds. The values for the singlet-triplet gap, 3500-5000 cm-1 point to an enhanced probability of intersystem crossing (ISC) non-radiative deactivation processes, in agreement with the low fluorescence quantum yields.     

Studies on photophysics and photochemistry of N-salicylidene-p-(N,N-dimethylamino)aniline

The fluorescence spectra of N-salicylidene-p-(N,N-dimethylamino)aniline have been investigated in various solvents and three kinds of fluorescence were found; they were that of excited intermediate, exciplex and excited dimer. According to the transient absorption spectra and decay kinetic data of photoproducts of the title compound, it has been found that the photoproducts in cyclohexane are a zwitterion and a mixed dimer formed by a zwitterion and an enol; in acetonitrile the photoproducts are a zwitterion, a mixed dimer formed by a zwitterion and an enol and a dimer formed of zwitterion. Photochromic and luminescence mechanisms of the title compound are discussed as well.     

The yield of solvent excited states in the radiolysis of cyclohexane solutions

It is confirmed by pulse radiolysis that emitting solvent excited states are produced in the radiolysis of n-hexane, methylcyclohexane and cyclohexane. The emission is quenched by benzene and benzene emission appears. Applying stern - volmer kinetics to emissions from solvent, benzene and toluene in cyclohexane a very high energy transfer rate constant, viz., k = 2.8 × 10¹¹M⁻¹ sec⁻¹ is obtained. The yield of the excited state of cyclohexane is not greater than 0.3, and it is concluded that the major part of the excited states of other aromatics produced in cyclohexane solutions comes from ion neutralisation.     

Fluorescence quenching of meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin by colloidal TiO(2)

A stable colloidal TiO(2) has been prepared. The interaction of meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TSPP) with colloidal TiO(2) was studied by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Upon excitation of its absorption band, the fluorescence emission of TSPP was quenched by colloidal TiO(2). The bimolecular quenching rate constant (k(q)) is 1.78 x 10(11)M(-1)s(-1). The porphyrin can participate in the quenching process by injecting electrons from its excited states into the conduction band of TiO(2). The quenching mechanism is discussed on the basis of the quenching rate constant as well as the reduction potential of the colloidal TiO(2). Rehm-Weller equation was applied for the calculation of free energy change (DeltaG(et)).     

Pulse radiolysis studies on the formation of singlet excited states of coumarin 153 in cyclohexane solutions

By using the technique of nanosecond pulse radiolysis, pulsed electron beam induced light emission from coumarin dyes in hydrocarbon solvents has been studied. The emission spectra so obtained were similar to the optically excited fluorescence spectra. The emission lifetimes were of the same order as the fluorescence lifetimes in the respective solvents, showing that the emitting species are the same in both the cases viz. singlet excited states of the dyes. In one system viz. C 153 in cyclohexane experiments were carried out in presence of electron and hole scavengers and also the concentration dependence of emission intensity studied over a wide range. From these it is concluded that the solute excited states are formed mainly by energy transfer from the solvent excited states, part of which may arise from excitation by cerenkov light generated in the medium.

Oligo(p‐phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) Molecular Wires: Synthesis and Length Dependence of Photoinduced Charge Transfer in OPEs with Triarylamine and Diaryloxadiazole End Groups

The systematic synthesis and photophysical, electrochemical and computational studies on an extended series of triphenylamine‐[C?C‐1,4‐C₆H₂(OR)₂]_n‐C?C‐diphenyl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole dyad molecules (the OR groups are at 2,5‐positions of the para‐phenylene ring and R=C₆H₁₃; n=0–5, compounds 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 , respectively) are reported. Related molecules with identical end groups, triphenylamine‐C?C‐1,4‐C₆H₂(OR)₂‐C?C‐triphenylamine (R=C₆H₁₃; 6 ) and diphenyl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐[C?C‐C₆H₂(OR)₂]₂‐C?C‐diphenyl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole (R=C₆H₁₃; 7 ) were also studied. These D–B–A 1 – 5 , D–B–D 6 and A–B–A 7 (D=electron donor, B=bridge, A=electron acceptor) systems were synthesized using palladium‐catalysed cross‐coupling reactions of new p‐phenyleneethynylene building blocks. Steady‐state emission studies on the dyads 1 – 5 reveal a complicated behavior of the emission that is strongly medium dependent. In low polarity solvents the emission is characterized by a sharp high‐energy peak attributed to fluorescence from a locally excited (LE) state. In more polar environments the LE state is effectively quenched by transfer into an intramolecular charge‐transfer (ICT) state. The medium dependence is also observed in the quantum yields (QYs) which are high in cyclohexane and low in acetonitrile, thus also indicating charge‐transfer character. Low‐temperature emission spectra for 2 – 5 in dichloromethane and diethyl ether also reveal two distinct excited states, namely the LE state and the conventional ICT state, depending on solvent and temperature. Hybrid DFT calculations for 1 – 7 establish that the OPE bridge is involved in both frontier orbitals where the bridge character increases as the bridge length increases. Computed TD‐DFT data on 1 – 5 assign the emission maxima in cyclohexane as LE transitions. Each time‐resolved emission measurement on 2 – 7 in cyclohexane and diethyl ether reveals a wavelength dependent bi‐exponential decay of the emission with a fast component in the 5–61 ps range on blue detection and a slower approximately 1 ns phase, independent of detection wavelength. The fast component is attributed to LE fluorescence and this emission component is rate limited and quenched by transfer into an ICT state. The fast LE fluorescence component varies systematically with conjugation length for the series of D–B–A dyads 2 – 5 . An attenuation factor β of 0.15 Å^?1 was determined in accordance with an ICT superexchange mechanism.     

Inter- and intramolecular excited state proton transfer in 2-hydroxy-9H-carzole-1-carboxylic acid

Absorption, fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectroscopy and single photon counting time dependence spectrofluorimetry have been used to study the inter- and intramolecular excited state proton transfer (ESIPT) reactions in 2-hydroxy-9H-carbazole-1-carboxylic acid (2-HCA). Except in cyclohexane and water (pH 5) dual fluorescence is observed in rest of the solvents used. Normal Stokes shifted band seems to originate from 2-HCA-1-c and tautomer emission band from the tautomer formed by ESIPT in 2-HCA-1-c followed by structural reorganization. Both these emission band systems originate from the same ground state species. AM1 and CNDO/S-CI calculations have been carried out to establish the identity of the species. Different prototropic equilibria have been determined and discussed.     

Photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer reaction in (E)-3-(4-Methylamino-phenyl)-acrylic acid methyl ester: A fluorescence study in combination with TDDFT calculation

A donor-acceptor substituted aromatic system (E)-3-(4-Methylamino-phenyl)-acrylic acid methyl ester (MAPAME) has been synthesized, and its photophysical behavior obtained spectroscopically has been compared with the theoretical results. The observed dual fluorescence from MAPAME has been assigned to emission from locally excited and twisted intramolecular charge transfer states. The donor and acceptor angular dependency on the ground and excited states potential energy surfaces have been calculated both in vacuo and in acetonitrile solvent using time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and TDDFT polarized continuum model (TDDFT-PCM), respectively. Calculation predicts that a stabilized twisted excited state is responsible for red shifted charge transfer emission.     

Electronic energy levels in all-trans long linear polyenes: the case of the 3,20-di(tert-butyl)-2,2,21,21-tetramethyl-all-trans-3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19-docosanonaen (ttbp9) conforming to Kasha's rule

The absorption, fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectra for 3,20-di(tert-butyl)-2,2,21,21-tetramethyl-all-trans-3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19-docosanonaen (ttbP9) in dilute solutions of 2-methylbutane were recorded at temperatures over the range 120-280 K. The high photostability of this nonaene allows us to assert that it exhibits a single fluorescence and that this can be unequivocally assigned to emission from its 1(1)B(u) excited state, it being the first excited electronic state. Available photophysical data for this polyene and the wealth of information reported for shorter all-trans polyenes allow us to conclude that if the first excited electronic state for the chromophore possessed 2(1)A(g) symmetry, then the energy of such a state might have been so close to that of the 1(1)B(u) state that: 1) the radiationless internal conversion mechanism would preclude the observation of the emission from the 1(1)B(u) state reported in this work and 2) the 2(1)A(g) state reached through internal conversion would be vibrationally coupled to 1(1)B(u) and would facilitate the detection of the emission from 2(1)A(g), which was not observed in any of the solvents used in this work. The spectroscopic and photochemical implications of these findings for other polyenes are discussed.     

Photophysical properties of carborane-containing derivatives of 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-aminophenyl)porphyrin

Absorption, fluorescence emission, fluorescence excitation spectra and fluorescence decay kinetics of carborane derivatives of 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-aminophenyl)porphyrin have been investigated. Carborane derivatives are prepared by acylation of the amino groups of 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-aminophenyl)porphyrin by 9-carboranyl acetyl chloride. From the analysis of the absorption and fluorescence spectra, it is concluded that covalent linking of carborane molecules to the tetraphenylporphyrin molecule significantly changes the self-conjugated pi-system of the porphyrin macrocycle: positions of maxima of absorption and fluorescence spectra shift to the red region by 3-8 nm; the halfwidths of these bands are broadened by 2.5-5.0 nm; the relative intensity of the bands I-IV also changes. The fluorescence decay kinetics of the carborane derivatives are biexponential. According to the experimental data and model simulation, it is concluded that the intramolecular electron transfer proceeds from the porphyrin excited part of the molecule to carboranyls with a rate constant of 415 ps(-1) and efficiency of 0.16-0.8. Recombination of separated charges occurs within 1.4 ns.     

The fluorescence of 5-cyano-2-(1-pyrrolyl)-pyridine (CPP) in different solvents and in solid argon: An experimental and theoretical study

The fluorescence spectrum of 5-cyano-2-(1-pyrrolyl)-pyridine (CPP) was measured in several solvents as well as in an argon matrix. Based on comparison with other compounds and on ab initio calculations it is proposed that the fluorescence in the argon matrix and in non-polar solvents is due to two electronic excited states: one is of locally excited nature, the other a charge transfer (CT) state. In polar solvents the spectrum is dominated by the CT emission. The photo-physical behavior of CPP is discussed by comparison with that of other molecules exhibiting dual fluorescence and in view of a recent model developed for the benzene analog.     

Fluorescence of crystalline 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile. Absence of dual fluorescence and observation of single-exponential fluorescence decays

The fluorescence spectrum of crystals grown from newly synthesized 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN), measured from 25 down to −112 °C, consists of a single emission band originating from a locally excited (LE) state. The fluorescence decay of the DMABN crystals is single exponential at all temperatures investigated. These results show that intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) does not occur in crystalline DMABN. The additional red-shifted emission bands and multiexponential fluorescence decays previously reported for DMABN crystals are attributed to a minor amount of the impurity 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde, the synthetic precursor of commercial DMABN.     

Nanosecond time-resolved IR emission from molecules excited in a supersonic jet: intramolecular dynamics of NO2 near dissociation

IR emission from NO2 cooled in a supersonic jet and excited to a single, B 2B1 state rovibronic level at 22 994.92 cm(-1) above the ground-state zero point was detected with 10(-8)-s time resolution. The IR emission together with the laser-induced fluorescence decay measurement allows the deduction of the relaxation dynamics near the dissociation of NO2. Following the excitation this single rovibronic B 2B1 level decays on 1.0-s time scale primarily through electronic radiation. Collisions induce internal conversion with a rate constant of 3.0 x 10(7) Torr(-1) s(-1) to the mixed AX states. Collisions further induce internal conversion of the AX mixed states into highly vibrationally excited levels in the X states with a rate constant at least one order of magnitude slower. This mechanism results in the observation of a double-exponential decay in the laser-induced fluorescence and a rise in the IR emission intensity corresponding to the fast decay in the fluorescence intensity. The IR emission rate of the highly vibrationally excited X-state levels is estimated to be about one order of magnitude larger than the isoenergetic AX mixed states and much larger than the B 2B1 level, both with much less vibrational excitation.     

Proton transfer from 2-naphthol to aliphatic amines in supercritical CO2

The proton transfer from 2-naphthol to aliphatic amines was studied in supercritical CO(2) (scCO(2)) and in cyclohexane as reference solvent, by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and by time-resolved emission. Irradiation of 2-naphthol in scCO(2) in the presence of ethyldiisopropylamine shows dynamic fluorescence quenching of the acidic form of 2-naphthol and emission from the basic form. Fluorescence excitation spectra show that the emission of the basic form is originated upon excitation of the acidic form. The interaction between 2-naphthol and the amines is described by the formation of a complex with proton donor-acceptor character in the ground and excited states of 2-naphthol. The acidity increase of 2-naphthol upon electronic excitation to the first excited singlet in scCO(2) is as high as in water. Proton transfer quantum yields of 0.6 can be easily achieved in scCO(2). The results have implications for carrying out acid-base catalyzed reactions in scCO(2).

Fast excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and subnanosecond dynamic stokes shift of time-resolved fluorescence spectra of the 5-methoxysalicylic acid/diethyl ether complex

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) occurring in the salicylic acid (SA) derivative 5-methoxysalicylic acid (5-MeOSA) in an apolar solvent (cyclohexane) and in the presence of the hydrogen bond accepting agent diethyl ether (DEE) is investigated. Analysis of the directly measured subnanosecond time-resolved emission spectra (TRES) together with conventional steady-state fluorescence and time-correlated single-photon-counting (TCSPC) decays indicates that ESIPT in this system occurs much faster than fluorescence, and that the equilibrium between normal and tautomeric excited states is established before the emission from both states takes place. However, changes in time- and frequency-resolved fluorescence of the 5-MeOSA/DEE complex are observed due to structural relaxation within the complex, which is reflected in the dynamic Stokes shift of the tautomeric fluorescence band. The normal fluorescence band of 5-MeOSA/DEE does not exhibit marked changes within the investigated time range. A single-exponential relaxation time of 460 ps was determined for the dynamic Stokes shift of the tautomeric band, and it is attributed to a geometric change within the 5-MeOSA/DEE complex upon excitation. Since both tautomeric and normal emission bands are well resolved and exhibit different time-dependent behaviors, a double-well potential appears to be adequate to describe the excited state of the system studied.
