The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer in the aromatic polycycle 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline is investigated by means of transient absorption experiments with 30 fs time resolution, classical dynamics and wavepacket dynamics. The experiments establish the ultrafast transfer after UV excitation and show signatures of coherent vibrational motion in the keto product. To elucidate details of the proton transfer mechanism, the classical dynamics is also performed for 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole and the results are compared. For both systems the proton transfer takes place on the ultrafast scale of 30–40 fs, with good agreement between the theoretical investigations and the measurements. The dynamics simulations show that for both molecules the proton is handed over by means of skeletal deformation of the molecule. Due to the more rigid structure of 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline the hydrogen migration mode participates more actively than in 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole.  相似文献

Steady-state and time-resolved techniques were employed to study the excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) from d-luciferin, the natural substrate of the firefly luciferase, to the mild acetate base in aqueous solutions. We found that in 1 M aqueous solutions of acetate or higher, a proton transfer (PT) process to the acetate takes place within 30 ps in both H(2)O and D(2)O solutions. The time-resolved emission signal is composed of three components. We found that the short-time component decay time is 300 and 600 fs in H(2)O and D(2)O, respectively. This component is attributed either to a PT process via the shortest water bridged complex available, ROH··H(2)O··Ac(-), or to PT taking place within a contact ion pair. The second time component of 2000 and 3000 fs for H(2)O and D(2)O, respectively, is attributed to ROH* acetate complex, whose proton wire is longer by one water molecule. The decay rate of the third, long-time component is proportional to the acetate concentration. We attribute it to the diffusion-assisted reaction as well as to PT process to the solvent.  相似文献

Organic chemosensors with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) behavior have attracted much attention because it has great potential in a wide range of applications. Considering the paramount behavior of excited-state relaxation, in this work, we mainly focus on deciphering photo-induced hydrogen bonding effects and ESIPT mechanism for the novel 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenol (mCzOH) dye. Considering the effects of different solvents on excited-state dynamics of mCzOH flurophore, we adopt four solvents with different polarities. Analyses of fundamental structural changes, infrared (IR) vibrational spectra, and core valence partition index between S0 and S1 state, we confirm hydrogen bond O H···N of mCzOH should be enhanced via photoexcitation. Especially, the increase of solvent polarity could promote hydrogen bonding strengthening degree. Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) resulting from photoexcitation qualitatively facilitates the ESIPT occurrence to a large extent. For further checking and probing into ESIPT mechanism, via constructing potential energy curves (PECs) in four solvents, we clarify the ESIPT behavior for mCzOH. Most worthy of mention is that polar solvent plays critical roles in lowering potential barrier of ESIPT reaction and in facilitating ESIPT process. We not only clarify the detailed excited-state process, but also present the solvent-polarity-dependent ESIPT mechanism for mCzOH fluorophore.  相似文献

Two new unusual natural pigments were first isolated from the whole herbs of Selaginella tamariscina. The structure of selaginellin A (1) was established as (R,S)-4-[(4'-hydroxy-3-((4-hydroxyphenyl)ethynyl)biphenyl-2-yl)(4-hydroxyphenyl)methylene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one and selaginellin B (2) as (R,S)-4-[(4'-methoxy-4-(methyl)-3-((4-methoxyphenyl)ethynyl)biphenyl-2-yl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one, along with four known biflavonoids, amentoflavone (3), hinokiflavone (4), heveaflavone (5), and 7'-O-methylamentoflavone (6). Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectral analysis of electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1D-NMR) and two-dimensional-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (2D-NMR) including (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) and heteronuclear multiple bond coherence (HMBC), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.  相似文献

The different excited-state behaviors involved in excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) process of a series of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HBO) derivatives have been theoretically investigated. The primary bond lengths and bond angles were analyzed. Coupling with the infrared (IR) vibrational spectra, we confirmed that the intramolecular hydrogen bond O–H···N should be strengthened in the S1 state, which might provide the possibility for ESPT reaction, whereas introducing the fused rings may weaken the hydrogen bond in excited state. By investigating the vertical excitation process, the charge redistribution was explored. It is found that the electron-accepting –NO2 and –COOH would facilitate the ESPT reaction. With adding fused rings to HBO, less charge transfer exists in the transition process, which can reasonably explain the weakening hydrogen bond phenomenon in excited states. Via constructing the potential energy curves of both S0 and S1 states, we further confirm that electron-accepting substitutions could promote the ESPT process for HBO systems. And fused rings do inhibit ESPT reaction to a great extent. We believe this work not only elaborates the different excited-state proton transfer behaviors for a series of HBO derivatives but also presents a new harnessing ESPT process through substitutional effects.  相似文献

Detailed insights into the excited-state enol(N*)-keto(T*) intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction in 2-(2'-hydroxy-4'-diethylaminophenyl)benzothiazole (HABT) have been investigated via steady-state and femtosecond fluorescence upconversion approaches. In cyclohexane, in contrast to the ultrafast rate of ESIPT for the parent 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (>2.9+/-0.3 x 10(13) s(-1)), HABT undergoes a relatively slow rate (approximately 5.4+/-0.5 x 10(11) s(-1)) of ESIPT. In polar aprotic solvents competitive rate of proton transfer and rate of solvent relaxation were resolved in the early dynamics. After reaching the solvation equilibrium in the normal excited state (N(eq)*), ESIPT takes place with an appreciable barrier. The results also show N(eq)*(enol)<-->T(eq)*(keto) equilibrium, which shifts toward N(eq)* as the solvent polarity increases. Temperature-dependent relaxation dynamics further resolved a solvent-induced barrier of 2.12 kcal mol(-1) for the forward reaction in CH(2)Cl(2). The observed spectroscopy and dynamics are rationalized by a significant difference in dipole moment between N(eq)* and T(eq)*, while the dipolar vector for the enol form in the ground state (N) is in between that of N(eq)* and T(eq)*. Upon N-->N* Franck-Condon excitation, ESIPT is energetically favorable, and its rate is competitive with the solvation relaxation process. Upon reaching equilibrium configurations N(eq)* and T(eq)*, forward and/or backward ESIPT takes place with an appreciable solvent polarity induced barrier due to differences in polarization equilibrium between N(eq)* and T(eq)*.  相似文献

The dynamics of the excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) in a cluster of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT) and hydrogen-bonded water molecules was investigated by means of quantum chemical simulations. Two different enol ground-state structures of HBT interacting with the water cluster were chosen as initial structures for the excited-state dynamics: (i) an intramolecular hydrogen-bonded structure of HBT and (ii) a cluster where the intramolecular hydrogen bond in HBT is broken by intermolecular interactions with water molecules. On-the-fly dynamics simulations using time-dependent density functional theory show that after photoexcitation to the S(1) state the ESPT pathway leading to the keto form strongly depends on the initial ground state structure of the HBT-water cluster. In the intramolecular hydrogen-bonded structures direct excited-state proton transfer is observed within 18 fs, which is a factor two faster than proton transfer in HBT computed for the gas phase. Intermolecular bonded HBT complexes show a complex pattern of excited-state proton transfer involving several distinct mechanisms. In the main process the tautomerization proceeds via a triple proton transfer through the water network with an average proton transfer time of approximately 120 fs. Due to the lack of the stabilizing hydrogen bond, intermolecular hydrogen-bonded structures have a significant degree of interring twisting already in the ground state. During the excited state dynamics, the twist tends to quickly increase indicating that internal conversion to the electronic ground state should take place at the sub-picosecond scale.  相似文献

In this work, based on density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent DFT (TD‐DFT) methods, we theoretically investigate the excited‐state process of the 2‐(6'‐hydroxy‐2'‐pyridyl)benzimidazole (2HPB) system in acetonitrile and water solvents. Since acetonitrile is an aprotic solvent, it has no effect on the solvent‐assisted excited‐state proton transfer (ESPT) process. Therefore, the 2HPB molecule cannot transfer the proton in acetonitrile, which is consistent with previous experimental observation. On the other hand, 2HPB can combine one water molecule (which is a protic solvent), forming the 2HPB–H2O complex in the S0 state. After photoexcitation, the intermolecular hydrogen bonds O1 H2···O3 and O3 H4···N5 both get strengthened in the S1 state, which leads to the possibility of a water‐assisted ESPT process. Further, the charge redistribution reveals the tendency of ESPT. By exploring the potential energy curves for the 2HPB–H2O complex in water, we confirm that a stepwise double proton transfer process occurs in the S1 state. Water‐assisted ESIPT can occur along O1 H2···O3 or O3 H4···N5 because of their similar potential barriers. Based on the stepwise ESPT mechanism, we reinterpret the absorption and fluorescence spectra mentioned in the experiments and confirm the rationality of the water‐assisted ESPT process.  相似文献

TDDFT, RI-CC2, and CIS calculations have been performed for the nondissociative excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) in the S1 state of 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (7H4MC) along a H-bonded water wire of three water molecules bridging the proton donor (OH) and the proton acceptor (C[double bond]O) groups (7H4MC.(H2O)3). The observed structural reorganization in the water-wire cluster is interpreted as a proton-transfer (PT) reaction along the H2O solvent wire. The shift of electron density within the organic chromophore 7H4MC due to the optical excitation appears to be the driving force for ESPT. All the methods used show that the reaction path occurs in the 1pipi* state, and no crossing with a Rydberg-type 1pisigma* state is found. TDDFT and RI-CC2 calculations predict an exoergic reaction of the excited-state enol-to-keto transformation. The S1 potential energy curve reveals well-defined Cs minima of enol- and keto-clusters, separated by a single barrier with a height of 17-20 kcal/mol. After surmounting this barrier, spontaneous PT along the water wire is observed, leading without any further barrier to the keto structure. The TDDFT and RI-CC2 methods appear to be reliable approaches to describe the energy surfaces of ESPT. The CIS method predicts an endoergic ESPT reaction and an energy barrier, which is too high.  相似文献

Aurones, pyrazole and thiophene scaffolds are known for their potential antimicrobial activity. Herein, we have synthesized hybrid compounds containing three substituted (Z)-2-{[1-phenyl-3-(thiophen-2-yl)- 1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methylene}benzofuran-3(2H)-ones that had been produced from substituted (E)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)- 3-[1-phenyl-3-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]prop-2-en-1-ones in high yields. All synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity. Several of those demonstrated promising activity against some fungal and bacterial strains.  相似文献

A few of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) compounds have been discovered for their aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE). To understand the AIEE mechanism, an ESIPT compound BTHPB (N-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-hydroxyphenyl)benzamide) with simple structure was designed and synthesized. BTHPB showed apparent AIEE property and the emission efficiency was observed as high as 0.27 in the aggregates. On the basis of viscochromism experiments and calculations employing the linear coupling model, the restriction of the rotation between the two subunits taken place in ESIPT was considered as the main factor for the AIEE. The micro- and femtosecond transient absorption experiments offered evidence for the considerations. Additionally, we also observed a negative effect of aggregation on the fluorescence emission in the system. So the AIEE of ESIPT compound BTHPB originated from the combination effects of positive and negative factors induced by the aggregation.  相似文献

The skeletal motions contributing to the reaction path of the ultrafast excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) are determined directly from time resolved measurements. We investigate the ESIPT in the compounds 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole, 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole and ortho-hydroxybenzaldehyde by UV–visible pump-probe spectroscopy with 30 fs resolution. The proton transfer is observed in real time and a characteristic ‘ringing’ of the molecule in a small number of vibrational modes is found after the reaction. The results show that a bending motion of the molecular skeleton reduces the proton donor–acceptor distance and an electronic configuration change occurs at a sufficient contraction leading to the bonds of the product conformer. The process evolves as a ballistic wavepacket propagation on an adiabatic potential energy surface. The proton is shifted by the skeletal motions from the donor to the acceptor site and tunneling has not to be considered.  相似文献

Excited state proton transfer (ESPT) in biologically relevant organic molecules in aqueous environments following photoexcitation is very crucial as the reorganization of polar solvents (solvation) in the locally excited (LE) state of the organic molecule plays an important role in the overall rate of the ESPT process. A clear evolution of the two photoinduced dynamics in a model ESPT probe 1-naphthol (NpOH) upon ultrafast photoexcitation is the motive of the present study. Herein, the detailed kinetics of the ESPT reaction of NpOH in water clusters formed in hydrophobic solvent are investigated. Distinct values of time constants associated with proton transfer and solvent relaxation have been achieved through picosecond-resolved fluorescence measurements. We have also used a model solvation probe Coumarin 500 (C500) to investigate the dynamics of solvation in the same environmental condition. The temperature dependent picosecond-resolved measurement of ESPT of NpOH and the dynamics of solvation from C500 identify the magnitude of intermolecular hydrogen bonding energy in the water cluster associated with the ultrafast ESPT process.  相似文献

Abstract. The carbomethoxyhydrazone of 2'-hydroxyacetophenone was trilithiated with excess lithium diisopropylamide and C-acylated with a variety of benzoate esters followed by acid cyclization of the intermediates to 2-(5-aryl-l-car-bomethoxy-lHpyrazol-3-yl)phenols [3-(2-hydroxyphen-yl)-lH-pyrazoles]. The products were characterized by Fourier transform-IR, lH NMR, 13C NMR, UV-visible absorption and fluorescence. All the derivatives in n -heptane have an absorption maximum at ˜304 nm and an extremely weak (φr= 10 4) fluorescence with maxima in the range of 335–460 nm. The broad range of fluorescence maxima and fluorescence quantum yields is attributed to varying contributions of charge transfer that are dependent on both the identity of the substituent and solvent polarity. A phenomenally large Stokes-shifted fluorescence maximum at 620 nm was observed for 2-(l-car-bomethoxy-5-[4-dimethylaminophenyl]-lff-pyrazol-3-y1)phenol in n-heptane and attributed to excited-state intramolecular proton transfer. As a result, competitive excited-state proton/charge transfer properties have been observed in the pyrazoles studied, of which the spectral properties can be fine tuned by substituent as well as solvent effects.  相似文献

The interplay between excited‐state charge and proton transfer reactions in protic solvents is investigated in a series of 7‐azaindole (7AI) derivatives: 3‐cyano‐7‐azaindole (3CNAI), 5‐cyano‐7‐azaindole (5CNAI), 3,5‐dicyano‐7‐azaindole (3,5CNAI) and dicyanoethenyl‐7‐azaindole (DiCNAI). Similar to 7AI, 3CNAI and 3,5CNAI undergo methanol catalyzed excited‐state double proton transfer (ESDPT), resulting in dual (normal and proton transfer) emission. Conversely, ESDPT is prohibited for 5CNAI and DiCNAI in methanol, as supported by a unique normal emission with high quantum efficiency. Instead, the normal emission undergoes prominent solvatochromism. Detailed relaxation dynamics and temperature dependent studies are carried out. The results conclude that significant excited‐state charge transfer (ESCT) takes place for both 5CNAI and DiCNAI. The charge‐transfer specie possesses a different dipole moment from that of the proton‐transfer tautomer species. Upon reaching the equilibrium polarization, there exists a solvent‐polarity induced barrier during the proton‐transfer tautomerization, and ESDPT is prohibited for 5CNAI and DiCNAI during the excited‐state lifespan. The result is remarkably different from 7AI, which is also unique among most excited‐state charge/proton transfer coupled systems studied to date.  相似文献

Precise revealing the mechanisms of excited-state intermolecular proton transfer (ESPT) and the corresponding geometrical relaxation upon photoexcitation and photoionization remains a formidable challenge. In this work, the compound (E)-4-(((4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)imino)methyl)-2,6-dimethoxyphenol (TIMDP) adopting a D-π-A molecular architecture featuring a significant intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect has been designed. With the presence of perchloric acid (35 %), TIMDP can be dissolved through the formation of a HClO4–H2O–OH(TIMDP)–N(TIMDP) hydrogen-bonding bridge. At the ground state, the ICT effect is dominant, giving birth to crystals of TIMDP. Upon external stimuli (e.g., UV light irradiation, electro field), the excited state is achieved, which weakens the ICT effect, and significantly promotes the ESPT effect along the hydrogen-bonding bridge, resulting in crystals of [HTIMDP]+ ⋅ [H2O] ⋅ [ClO4]. As a consequence, the mechanisms of the ESPT can be investigated, which distorted the D-π-A molecular architecture, tuned the emission color with the largest Stokes shift of 242 nm, and finally, high photoluminescence quantum yields (12 %) and long fluorescence lifetimes (8.6 μs) have achieved. These results not only provide new insight into ESPT mechanisms, but also open a new avenue for the design of efficient ESPT emitters.  相似文献

The synthesis and absorption/fluorescence properties of two novel intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) compounds of (fluorene-2-yl)-(9-ethylcarbazole-3-yl) ketene and 1-phenyl-3-(fluorenone-2-yl)-5-(9-ethylcarbazole-3-yl)-2-pyrazoline were reported. The primary structure of the target compounds was characterized by IR and 1H NMR. The systems contained a fluorenone or a propenon group as an electron acceptor (A) and an N-ethylcarbazole and a pyrazoline group as electron donors (D). From the emissive properties it was concluded that the electronic coupling between D and A was sufficient to allow charge transfer in these molecules. The ICT maximal emission displayed a large wavelength shift and Stokes shifts increased in response to the increase of the solvent polarity. The highly solvatochromic properties made the two compounds of great interest as new classes of fluorescent probes, electroluminescent and electrofax materials.  相似文献

The photophysics of the fluorescent probe Lucifer yellow CH has been investigated using fluorescence spectroscopic and computational techniques. The nonradiative rate is found to pass through a minimum in solvents of intermediate empirical polarity. This apparently anomalous behavior is rationalized by considering the possibility of predominance of different kinds of nonradiative processes, viz. intersystem crossing (ISC) and excited-state proton transfer (ESPT), in solvents of low and high empirical polarity, respectively. The feasibility of the proton transfer is examined by the structure determined by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The predicted energy levels based on the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method in the gas phase identifies the energy gap between the S(1) and nearest triplet state to be close enough to facilitate ISC. Photophysical investigation in solvent mixtures and in deuterated solvents clearly indicates the predominance of the solvent-mediated intramolecular proton transfer in the excited state of the fluorophore in protic solvents.  相似文献

Excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) to solvent is often explained according to the two-step Eigen–Weller model including a contact ion pair (CIP*) as an intermediate, but general applicability of the model has not been thoroughly examined. Furthermore, examples of the spectral identification of CIP* are scarce. Here, we report on a detailed investigation of ESPT to protic (H2O, D2O, MeOH and EtOH) and aprotic (DMSO) solvents utilizing a broadband fluorescence technique with sub-200 fs time resolution. The time-resolved spectra are decomposed into contributions from the protonated and deprotonated species and a clear signature of CIP* is identified in DMSO and MeOH. Interestingly, the CIP* intermediate is not observable in aqueous environment although the dynamics in all solvents are multi-exponential. Global analysis based on the Eigen–Weller model is satisfactory in all solvents, but the marked mechanistic differences between aqueous and organic solvents cast doubt on the physical validity of the rate constants obtained.

Time-resolved broadband fluorescence facilitates direct observation of reaction intermediates in excited-state proton transfer to solvent in protic and aprotic solvents.  相似文献
