Synthesis and Fluorescence Sensing Properties of Calix[4]arenes Containing Fluorophores

New fluoroionophores 4 and 5 derived from calix[4]arene triester monoacid chloride with 2-amino-4-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)phenol and 4-aminoquinaldine, respectively, have been synthesized. A preliminary test showed that the fluorescence intensity of 5 was very low, so only 4 was subjected to cation recognition investigation. In methanol, the fluorescence intensity of 4 was quenched by Na⁺. The fluorescence intensity decreased linearly with increasing Na⁺ concentration with a stability constant of log K = 2.91 ± 0.08. No significant response was observed for other alkali metal ions under the same experimental conditions.

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of a Series of Dimeric Indium Quinolinates

A novel class of quinolinol-based dimeric indium complexes (1–6) was synthesized and characterized using ¹H and ¹³C(¹H) NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Compounds 1–6 exhibited typical low-energy absorption bands assignable to quinolinol-centered π–π* charge transfer (CT) transition. The emission spectra of 1–6 exhibited slight bathochromic shifts with increasing solvent polarity (p-xylene < tetrahydrofuran (THF) < dichloromethane (DCM)). The emission bands also showed a gradual redshift, with an increase in the electron-donating effect of substituents at the C5 position of the quinoline groups. The absolute emission quantum yields (Φ_PL) of compounds 1 (11.2% in THF and 17.2% in film) and 4 (17.8% in THF and 36.2% in film) with methyl substituents at the C5 position of the quinoline moieties were higher than those of the indium complexes with other substituents.     

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of 1,1,4,4-Tetracyanobutadienes Derived from Ynamides Bearing Fluorophores**

1,1,4,4-Tetracyanobutadienes (TCBDs) bearing a large diversity of fluorophores were prepared following a multi-step synthesis. In a crucial last step, all compounds were obtained from the corresponding ynamides, which were particularly suitable for the formation of the TCBDs in the presence of tetracyanoethylene via a [2+2] cycloaddition/retroelectrocyclization step (CA-RE). Several fluorenyl derivatives in addition to phenanthrenyl and terphenyl ones provided ynamide-based TCBDs affording remarkable emission properties covering a large range of wavelengths. Those compounds emit both in solid state and in solution from the visible region to the NIR range, depending on the molecular structures. Quantum yields in cyclohexane reached unforeseen values for such derivatives, up to 7.8 %. A huge sensitivity to the environment of the TCBDs has also been unraveled for most of the compounds since we observed a dramatic fall of the quantum yields when changing the solvent from cyclohexane to toluene, while they are almost non-emissive in dichloromethane.

Diastereoselective Synthesis of Cyclopenta[c]furans by a Catalytic Multicomponent Reaction

A diastereoselective three‐component reaction between alkynyl enones, aldehydes and secondary amines is reported. With the aid of a benign indium catalyst, a range of highly substituted cyclopenta[c]furan derivatives can be obtained in a single‐step procedure. The formation of the stereodefined heterocyclic motifs takes place via in situ generation of enamines followed by two sequential cyclization steps.     

2,3-Diarylbenzo[b]arsole: Structural Modification and Polymerization for Tuning of Photophysical Properties

2,3-Diarylbenzo[b]arsoles were synthesized from zirconacycles and diiodophenylarsine. The structural modification to the luminophore was attained through diarylacetylene precursors, Suzuki–Miyaura coupling, and oxidation of the arsenic atom. The emission properties were controlled according to these modifications. The 2,3-diarylbenzo[b]arsoles showed aggregation-induced emission enhancement; the stronger emission was observed in the solid states than in solutions. In addition, Suzuki–Miyaura polycondensation and olefin metathesis polymerization produced main- and side-chain polymers, respectively. The resultant polymers showed different emission behaviors such as aggregation caused quenching and aggregation induced emission enhancement.

Borylated Arylisoquinolines: Photophysical Properties and Switching Behavior of Promising Tunable Fluorophores

A series of nine borylated arylisoquinolines has been prepared with systematic variation in their electronic properties and their photophysical properties were investigated. The color of their fluorescence can be finely tuned by changing the properties of the aryl moiety, which is involved in internal‐charge‐transfer processes. For example, methoxy‐substituted compound 5 showed an intense green emission, whereas dimethylamino‐substituted compound 6 showed an orange‐red emission. These new fluorophores were tested for their potential as molecular switches with external ionic stimuli, such as protons and fluoride ions. On the one hand, protonation of the isoquinoline moiety led to fluorescence enhancement for compounds that showed weak charge transfer and fluorescence quenching for compounds that showed strong charge transfer. On the other hand, the formation of ate complexes with fluoride led to strong fluorescence quenching in all of the investigated cases.     

Isomeric Dioxodihydro-1H-Benzo[b]thiophenoindole Synthesis and Properties

The synthesis and properties of new heterocyclic systems are described: isomeric 2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]thiopheno[2,3-g]-, 1,2-dioxo-1,2-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]thiopheno[3,2-e]-, and 2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]thiopheno[2,3-f]indoles. The reduction of the latter to the corresponding unsubstituted benzo[b]thiophenoindoles depends on both the nature of the reducing agent and the reaction conditions.     

Solvatochromic shifts of naphthalene and pyrene excimers

Solvatochromic shifts of pyrene (Py) and naphthalene (Np) excimers were obtained in polar and non-polar solvents. The observed shifts for both excimers are explained by changes in the polarizability between the excimer and the dissociative ground state. The magnitudes of the shifts in the pyrene excimer are larger, indicating that the pyrene excimer is more polarizable than the naphthalene excimer.     

Synthesis and Properties of 1, 1-Dihalogenocycloprop[b]Anthracenes

The synthesis of 1, 1-difluoro-1H-cycloprop[b]anthracene ( 3 ) is described. The key step of the synthesis is the cycloaddition of 1,2-dichloro-3,3-difluorocyclo-propene ( 6 ) to 2,3-dimethylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene ( 5 ). The ¹³C-NMR. spectrum of 3 is assigned on the grounds of C,F-coupling constants, selective H-decoupling and the resulting residual C,H-coupling. The 1, 1-dichloro derivative 4 was synthesized by the same route, but could not be isolated pure. Experiments for the reduction to 1H-cycloprop[b]anthracene ( 2 ) and for the ionization of 3 or 4 to the cation 16 failed.
