Highly fluorescent N,N-dimethylaminophenylethynylarenes: synthesis, photophysical properties, and electrochemiluminescence

A new family of aryl-pi-donor-aryl molecules has been synthesized and studied with respect to their photophysical properties and electrogenerated chemiluminscence (ECL) for the first time. Anthracene, phenanthrene, naphthalene, biphenyl, and fluorene were coupled with N,N-dimethylanilino moiety via a C-C triple bond (1-7). Introduction of such a strong electron-donating moiety as N,N-dimethylanilino group through a triple bond imparts new properties to the resultant molecules that are not commonly observed for the parent arenes. All molecules show absorption in the near-visible region and emission totally in the visible region with high fluorescence quantum yields. Bright solid-state photoluminescence has also been noticed for all the compounds in the visible region. 9-Anthryl- and 1-naphthyl- derivatives exhibited blue-shifted electrochemiluminescence (ECL) relative to their photoluminescence because of aggregation. 9-Phenanthryl- and 2-naphthyl- derivatives did not show ECL. 2-Biphenyl derivative showed monomeric ECL while 4-biphenyl counterpart exhibited excimer ECL. No ECL was observed for 2-fluorenyl derivative. The observed electronic properties are discussed with regard to the structure of the molecules. The characteristics of the molecules chosen in the present study open up new prospects and promises for novel tunable organic materials, on the basis of simple extension of conjugation to promote intramolecular communication, for ECL, OLED, and other optoelectronic applications.     

Photophysical properties of borondipyrromethene analogues in solution

The photophysical properties of seven new 8-(p-substituted)phenyl analogues of 4,4-difluoro-3,5-dimethyl-8-(aryl)-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (derivatives of the well-known fluorophore BODIPY) in several solvents have been studied by means of absorption and steady-state and time-resolved fluorimetry. For each compound, the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime are lower in solvents with higher polarity owing to an increase in the rate of nonradiative deactivation. Increasing the electron withdrawing strength of the p-substituent on the phenyl group in position 8 also leads to lower fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes. When the p-substituent on the phenyl group in position 8 is a tertiary amine [8-(4-piperidinophenyl), 8-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl), and 8-(4-morpholinophenyl)], the low quantum yields of these compounds in more polar solvents can be rationalized by the inversion of the energy levels of an apolar, highly fluorescent and a polar, nonfluorescent excited state, where charge transfer from the tertiary amine to the BODIPY unit occurs. These amine analogues can be protonated at low pH in aqueous solution. Fluorescence titrations yielded pK(a) values of their conjugate ammonium salts which are in agreement with the electron donating tendency of the amine group: piperidino (4.15) > dimethylamino (2.37) > morpholino (1.47), with the pK(a) values in parentheses. The rate constant of radiative deactivation (k(f)) is the same for all compounds in all solvents studied (k(f) = 1.4 x 10(8) s(-1)).     

Photophysical Properties and Efficient,Stable, Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of Donor–Acceptor Molecules Exhibiting Thermal Spin Upconversion

The photophysical properties and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of three donor–acceptor molecules composed of dicyanobenzene and methyl‐, tert‐butyl‐, and phenyl‐substituted carbazolyl groups, 1,2,3,5‐tetrakis(3,6‐disubstituted‐carbazol‐9‐yl)‐4,6‐dicyanobenzene (4CzIPN‐Me, 4CzIPN‐tBu, and 4CzIPN‐Ph, respectively) are described. These molecules show delayed fluorescence as a result of thermal spin upconversion from the lowest triplet state to the lowest singlet state at room temperature. The three molecules showed yellow to yellowish–red ECL. Remarkably, the ECL efficiencies of 4CzIPN‐tBu in dichloromethane reached almost 40 %. Moreover, stable ECL was emitted from 4CzIPN‐tBu and 4CzIPN‐Ph. In case of 4CzIPN‐Me, the ECL intensity decreased during voltage cycles because of polymerization. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that polymerization was inhibited by the steric hindrance of the bulky tert‐butyl and phenyl groups on the carbazolyl moieties and lowered the spin density on the carbazolyl groups through electron conjugation for 4CzIPN‐Ph.     

Toward pi-conjugated molecule bundles: synthesis of a series of B,B',B''-trianthryl-N,N',N''-triarylborazines and the bundle effects on their properties

As a prototype of a pi-conjugated molecule bundled system, a series of B,B',B'-trianthryl- N,N',N'-triarylborazine derivatives bearing various p-substituted phenyl groups (p-R-C(6)H(4): R = hexyl (1), i-Pr (2), CF(3) (3), Br (5)) as aryl groups was designed and synthesized. The crystal structure analysis of these derivatives confirmed that the three anthryl and three phenyl groups are bundled up alternately in a C(3) symmetrical gear-shaped fashion. On the basis of this structure, the trianthrylborazine derivatives form a unique honeycomblike packing structure consisting of intermolecular pi-stacking of the anthryl moieties. Significant bundle effects were observed in the photophysical and electrochemical properties of these compounds. In their fluorescence spectra, the trianthrylborazine derivatives (1-3) show intense emissions around 390 nm, whose quantum yields (1, Phi(F) = 0.62; 2, Phi(F) = 0.59; 3, Phi(F) = 0.63) are about twice high as that of anthracene (Phi(F) = 0.27). The cyclic voltammetry measurements show that the oxidation peak potential can be tuned by varying the substituents on the phenyl moieties. Theoretical calculations (B3LYP/ 6-31G(d)) suggested that secondary through-bond/through-space interactions in the bundled structure play an important role in the tuning of these properties. Facile structural derivatization at the 10-position of the anthryl moieties of trianthrylborazine was conducted to demonstrate the utility of the borazine skeleton as a core framework for new organic electronic materials.     

Arylethynylacridines: electrochemiluminescence and photophysical properties

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of six new ethyne-based acridine derivatives (1-6) has been studied. The new acridine derivatives were synthesized by cross-coupling of 9-chloroacridine and corresponding donor-substituted phenylethynes under modified Sonogashira conditions. The donor groups were varied in the order of increasing steric hindrance and donor strength at the donor site. The solution phase photophysical properties and ECL of these compounds were studied comparatively in acetonitrile solvent. The UV-Visible spectra of compounds 1-5 exhibit closely the same maxima. Density functional theory (DFT) has been invoked to analyze and understand the unexpected UV-Visible absorption behavior. Compounds with weak electron donors produce excimer ECL irrespective of steric hindrance at the donor site, while the compound with a stronger donor gives rise to ECL that is blue-shifted with respect to its photoluminescence spectrum. All except one of these compounds also exhibit solid state fluorescence which may be useful for solid state devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and as laser dyes. The observed properties are discussed with reference to the structure of the compounds synthesized.     

Suppression of aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching in pyrene derivatives: photophysical properties and crystal structures

Two new pyrene-based fluorophores, namely 1-[4-(2,2-diphenylvinyl)phenyl]pyrene (PVPP) and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis[4-(2,2-diphenylvinyl)phenyl]pyrene (TPVPP), were synthesized through Suzuki coupling reaction and well characterized. PVPP successfully suppresses the fluorescence quenching of pyrene units in the solid state, displaying aggregation-induced enhanced emission. Despite the same substituent, TPVPP shows a different fluorescent behavior. On the basis of the crystal structures, the distinct optical behavior is discussed and clarified. The intermolecular C-H?π interaction has a dramatic effect on their photophysical properties in the solid state.     

Photophysics,Electrochemistry and Efficient Electrochemiluminescence of Trigonal Truxene-Core Dyes

We synthesized and characterized a series of dyes built from a spirofluorene or truxene core. The quadrupolar spirofluorene system is the initial building unit for the design and preparation of more complex star-shaped dyes consisting of a truxene core bearing three di- or triphenylamine moieties with or without a thiophene connector. Their photophysical, electrochemical, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties were first investigated in solution. Structure/activity relationships were derived and rationalized by comparing the quadrupolar system and trigonal truxene-core derivatives using computational studies. The photophysical and redox characteristics are drastically tuned by the introduction of a thiophene bridge and electron-donor substituents at their terminal branches. These comparative studies show the essential role of the stability of both radical cations and anions to obtain efficient ECL dyes. The stabilization of the radicals is directly related to the charge delocalization due to the π-conjugation by the thiophene bridge. The brightest ECL is achieved by annihilation and coreactant (benzoyl peroxide) pathways with the blue-emitting truxene dye, which is 2- and 4.5-times greater than that of the quadrupolar compound and reference [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺ emitter, respectively. Such an extensive study on these extended π-conjugated molecules presenting different core structures may guide the design and synthesis of new ECL dyes with a strong efficiency.

Facile Tuning of Luminescent Platinum(II) Schiff Base Complexes from Yellow to Near‐Infrared: Photophysics,Electrochemistry, Electrochemiluminescence and Theoretical Calculations

The photophysical and related properties of platinum(II) Schiff base complexes can be finely and predictably tuned over a wide range of wavelengths by small and easily implemented changes to ligand structure. A series of such complexes, differing only in the number and positioning of methoxy substituents on the phenoxy ring, were synthesised and their photophysical, electrochemical and electrochemiluminescent (ECL) properties investigated. Theoretical calculations were performed in order to gain further insight into the relationship between structure and properties in these materials. By positioning methoxy groups para and/or ortho to either the imine or the oxygen group on the ligand, electron density could be directed selectively toward the LUMO or HOMO as required. This allowed the emission colour (both photoluminescent and electrochemiluminescent) to be tuned over a wide range between 587 and 739 nm. The variation in orbital energies was also manifested in the positions of the absorption bands and the redox properties of the complexes, as well as in the NMR shifts for the uncoordinated ligands. All reported complexes displayed intense electrochemiluminescence (ECL), which could be initiated either by annihilation or co‐reactant pathways. The relationship between the electrochemical and photophysical properties and the efficiency of the ECL is discussed. For two of the complexes solid‐state ECL could be generated from electrodeposited layers of the complex.     

Synthesis, electronic properties, and electrochemiluminescence of donor-substituted phenylethynylanthronitriles

A new series of pi-conjugated donor-acceptor compounds (1-6) with inherent redox centers have been prepared and studied with respect to their electronic properties. The photophysical characteristics of these compounds have been studied in relation to their structures. Cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry were used to probe the ground-state electronic properties of the neutral and charged species. The observed electronic absorption properties of the neutral and charged molecules are explained with the help of frontier orbital structures and electrostatic potential maps obtained from density functional theory (DFT, B3LYP/6-31G) calculations. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of this series of donor-substituted phenylethynylanthronitriles with different donors was also studied. The structure-property relationship of all of the compounds is discussed.     

Dications of benzylidenefluorene and diphenylmethylidene fluorene: the relationship between magnetic and energetic measures of antiaromaticity

Oxidation of m- and p-substituted benzylidene fluorenes to antiaromatic dications was attempted by electrochemical and chemical means. Electrochemical oxidation to dications was successful for benzylidene fluorenes with p-methoxy, p-methyl, p-fluoro, and unsubstituted phenyl rings in the 3-position; attempts to oxidize the m-substituted derivatives via electrochemistry were unsuccessful. Chemical oxidation with SbF(5)/SO(2)ClF gave the dication of 9-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]-9H-fluorene cleanly; oxidation of all other substituted benzylidene fluorenes resulted in mixtures of products. The excellent linear relationship between the chemical shifts calculated by the GIAO method and the experimental shifts for the p-methoxy-substituted benzylidene fluorene dication suggests that the calculations satisfactorily reflect the magnetic properties of this dication and potentially those of the other dications studied. The redox potentials from electrochemical oxidation, a measure of the stability of the dications, showed a good linear relationship with another measure of stability, the calculated difference in energy between each dication and its neutral precursor. The dications of benzylidene fluorenes were less stable than the dications of diphenylmethylidene fluorenes; within each type of compound, dications with p-substituted phenyl rings were more stable than dications with m-substituted phenyl rings and dications with phenyl rings substituted with electron-donating groups were more stable than dications with phenyl rings substituted with electron-withdrawing groups. The antiaromaticity of the fluorenyl system was assessed through the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) that was also calculated by the GIAO method. The plot of the NICS values per square area versus the calculated energy difference for the dications showed a moderate degree of linearity; the plot of NICS values per square area versus the oxidation potentials was less linear. Thus, a suggestive, but not conclusive, relationship between magnetic and energetic measures of antiaromaticity was observed.     

Multimetallic ruthenium(II) complexes as electrochemiluminescent labels

Two homometallic complexes containing two and three ruthenium polypyridyl units linked by amino acid lysine (Lys) and the related dipeptide (LysLys) were synthesized and their electrochemical, spectroscopic, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties were investigated. The electrochemical and photophysical data indicate that the two metal complexes largely retain the electronic properties of the reference compound for the separate ruthenium moieties in the two bridged complexes, [4-carboxypropyl-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine]bis(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complex. The ECL studies, performed in aqueous media in the presence of tri-n-propylamine as co-reactant, show that the ECL intensity increases by 30% for the dinuclear and trinuclear complexes compared to the reference. Heterogeneous ECL immunoassay studies, performed on larger dendritic complexes containing up to eight ruthenium units, demonstrate that limitations due to the slow diffusion can easily be overcome by means of nanoparticle technology. In this case, the ECL signal is proportional to the number of ruthenium units. Multimetallic systems with several ruthenium centers may, however, undergo nonspecific bonding to streptavidin-coated particles or to antibodies, thereby increasing the background ECL intensity and lowering the sensitivity of the immunoassay.

Electrochemistry and electrogenerated chemiluminescence of 3,6-di(spirobifluorene)-N-phenylcarbazole

We report here the electrochemistry, luminescence, and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of 3,6-dispirobifluorene-N-phenylcarbazole (DSBFNPC). DSBFNPC contains two spirobifluorene groups covalently attached to the N-phenylcarbazole core. The optimized geometry as determined from semiempirical MNDO calculations shows that the phenyl group is twisted 89 degrees from the plane of central carbazole, indicating a lack of electron delocalization between these groups. However, the two fluorene rings of each spirobifluorene group are twisted 58 degrees relative to each other and two spirobifluorene groups are twisted 64 degrees from the N-phenylcarbazole ring, suggesting some charge delocalization among these groups. The cyclic voltammetry of this compound shows two reversible oxidation waves (assigned to the formation of the cation and dication) and a two-electron reduction wave that becomes reversible at higher scan rates (assigned to formation of anion). Digital simulations were carried out to obtain details of the electrochemical processes, and electrochemical behavior was compared to that of phenylcarbazole (PC). Upon cycling between the oxidation and reduction waves, ECL is produced by radical ion annihilation. The photophysical properties of DSBFNPC show a strong resemblance to the parent compound, PC, and the ECL spectrum produced via radical ion annihilation shows good agreement with the fluorescence emission spectrum of DSBFNPC.     

Excited states and two-photon absorption of some novel thiophenyl Pt(II)-ethynyl derivatives

The photophysical characterization of two new compounds related to bis((4-(phenylethynyl)phenyl)ethynyl)bis(tributylphosphine)platinum(II), here abbreviated Pt1, is reported. For the first new compound ATP1, the inner phenyl rings (closer to the Pt atom) in Pt1 are replaced by thiophene rings bridging at the 2,5-positions. In compound ATP2, the outer phenyl groups are replaced by thiophene rings bonded at the 2-position. Specifically, we report on the fluorescence quantum yield, two-photon absorption, triplet decay times and two-photon absorption induced emission spectra of the molecules in THF solutions. The results were compared with those of Pt1 and Pt1 capped with an acetonide-protected 2,2-bis(methylol)propionic acid (bis-MPA) ester group (Pt1-G1). The photophysical properties of the organic dye 7-(diethylamino)coumarin (Coumarin 110) were determined and used as a reference material. The two-photon absorption cross section around 720-740 nm of ATP1 and ATP2 was found to be of the same order of magnitude as for Pt1-G1, i.e., between 5 and 10 GM, but slightly larger for ATP1 than for ATP2 (1 GM = 1 G?ppert-Mayer = 10(-50) (cm(4) s)/photon). The fluorescence decay time of all compounds was found to be very short (subnanosecond) with quantum yields 0.0045, 0.0007, 0.0011 and 0.0020 for ATP1, ATP2, Pt1-G1 and Pt1, respectively, measured at excitation wavelength 373 nm. Just as Pt1 and Pt1-G1, both thiophenyl derivatives showed large intersystem crossing capabilities and phosphorescence, characteristic for a triplet state that can enhance the nonlinear absorption and optical power limiting by triplet state absorption. The phosphorescence emission of the thiophenyl derivatives was red-shifted in comparison with Pt1 and Pt1-G1, and the phosphorescence decay times were on the order of 200-500 ns, as for the Pt1 compound.     

Highly luminescent tridentate N^C*N platinum(II) complexes featured in fused five-six-membered metallacycle and diminishing concentration quenching

A series of cyclometalating ligands, N-phenyl-N-(3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)pyridin-2-amine (L1), N-(3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-N-phenylpyridin-2-amine (L2), N-phenyl-N-(3-(quinolin-2-yl)phenyl)pyridin-2-amine (L3), N-phenyl-N-(3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)quinolin-2-amine (L4), N-(3-(isoquinolin-1-yl)phenyl)-N-phenylpyridin-2-amine (L5), and N-phenyl-N-(3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)isoquinolin-1-amine (L6), were synthesized, which reacted with K(2)PtCl(4) in glacial acetic acid to produce N^C*N-coordinated platinum(II) complexes featured in a fused five-six-membered metallacycle, 1-6, respectively. The structures of 1, 3, 4, and 6 were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The square geometries of the complexes are improved when compared with those of the N^C^N-coordinated complexes as the bite angles for the platinum in N^C*N-coordinated complexes 1, 3, and 4 are increased. The Pt-C bonds (1.94-1.95 ?) are shorter than those of C^N^N-coordinated platinum complexes but longer than those found for N^C^N-coordinated platinum complexes. With the increase of the steric interaction, the distortion of the molecules from a planar coordination geometry becomes more and more severe from 1 to 3 to 4 and 6, and in 6, the N-phenyl ring has to stand up on the coordination sphere to minimize the steric interaction with the N-isoquinolyl ring. The photophysical properties of the complexes were studied, and their absorption and emission spectra were interpreted by relating to the structural features revealed by the X-ray crystal structures and the orbital characters predicted by DFT calculations. All complexes are emissive in fluid at room temperature, and the quantum yields (up to 0.65) are comparable to those of highly emissive N^C^N-coordinated platinum complexes. Self-quenching was not observed in the concentration range of 10(-6) to 10(-4) M. Large rigidochromic shifts for the emissions of 2, 4, and 6 upon cooling from room temperature to rigid glass (77 K) were observed. Two different triplet states that control the emissions were proposed to account for the photophysical properties of 6.     

Color‐Tunable Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of Ruthenium N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes

Ru(II) complexes 1 – 3 bearing various N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were synthesized, and their photophysical, electrochemical, and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) properties were discussed to evaluate a potential of their use as multicolor ECL labels. Interestingly, they exhibited ECL emission ranging from greenish‐yellow to red both in nonaqueous and mixed aqueous solutions, which might show the potential of the Ru(II) complexes as multicolor ECL labels.

Chromenone 12-crown-4 substituted zinc phthalocyanine complexes: investigation of spectral, photophysical and photochemical properties

The synthesis of novel 6,7-[(12-crown-4)-3-[p-(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)phenyl]coumarin (1), 6,7-[(12-crown-4)-3-[p-(2,3-dicyanophenoxy)phenyl]coumarin (2), and their corresponding tetra-(chromenone 12-crown-4)-substituted zinc (II) phthalocyanine complexes (3 and 4) have been prepared. These new compounds have been characterized by elementel analysis, (1)H NMR (1 and 2), MALDI-TOF, IR and UV-Vis spectral data. The fluorescence intensity changes for 1 and 2 by addition of Na(+) or K(+) ions have been determined at 25°C in THF. Intensity of the binding Na(+)- and K(+)-complexes (1 and 2) have decreased. The effects of the chromenone crown ether on the phthalocyanine molecule concerning photophysical and photochemical properties are also investigated. Photodegredation, singlet oxygen, fluorescence quantum yields, and fluorescence lifetimes of zinc phthalocyanine complexes (3 and 4) are also examined in DMSO.
