The electronic spectra of various, substituted 2-arylbenzothiazoline (1)-2-(benzylideneamino)-thiophenol (II) tautomers were studied in order to determine what species were present in ethanol solution. In every case examined the absorption spectra closely resembled those of the correspondingly substituted 3-methyl-2-arylbenzothiazolines (III) and differed markedly from those of corresponding 2-(benzylideneamino)phenyl methyl sulfides (IV). These results indicate that, under the conditions examined, the 2-arylbenzothiazoline tautomer (I) predominates. Infrared spectra determined or solid samples of series I-II, III and IV were entirely in accord with structure I.  相似文献

The strong solvatochromism observed for two fluorene-dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide oligomers in polar solvents has been investigated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques. A low-energy absorption band, attributed to a charge-transfer (CT) state, is identified by its red shift with increasing solvent polarity. In nonpolar solvents, the emission of these conjugated luminescent oligomers shows narrow and well-resolved features, suggesting that the emission comes from a local excited state (LE), by analogy to their conjugated fluorene-based polymer counterparts. However, in polar solvents, only a featureless broad emission is observed at longer wavelengths (CT emission). A linear correlation between the energy maximum of the fluorescence emission and the solvent orientation polarizability factor Deltaf (Lippert-Mataga equation) is observed through a large range of solvents. In ethanol, below 230 K, the emission spectra of both oligomers show dual fluorescence (LE-like and CT) with the observation of a red-edge excitation effect. The stabilization of the CT emissive state by solvent polarity is accompanied/followed by structural changes to adapt the molecular structure to the new electronic density distribution. In ethanol, above 220 K, the solvent reorganization occurs on a faster time scale (less than 10 ps at 290 K), and the structural relaxation of the molecule (CT(unrelaxed) --> CT(Relaxed)) can be followed independently. The magnitude of the forward rate constant, k(1)(20 degrees C) approximately 20 x 10(9) s(-1), and the reaction energy barrier, E(a) approximately 3.9 kcal mol(-1), close to the energy barrier for viscous flow in ethanol (3.54 kcal mol(-1)), show that large-amplitude molecular motions are present in the stabilization of the CT state.  相似文献

The fluorescence spectral characteristics and interaction of bis(ethylene)tin(bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) [Et2Sn(salen)] with DNA are described. The polarity of the solvent has a strong effect on the fluorescence characteristics of Et2Sn(salen). Et2Sn(salen) bound to DNA showed a marked decrease in the fluorescence intensity with a bathochromic shift of the excitation and emission peaks. A hypochromism in the UV absorption spectra was also observed. KI quenching and competitive binding to DNA between Et2Sn(salen) and ethidium bromide (EB) were studied in connection with other experimental observations to show that the interactive model between Et2Sn(salen) and DNA is an intercalative one. The pH and salt effect on the fluorescence properties was also investigated. The intrinsic binding constant was estimated to be 1.071 x 10(5) mol L(-1) in base pairs and the binding site number is 1.98, respectively. A linear relationship between F/F0 and the concentration of calf thymus DNA covers 5.1 x 10(-6) - 2.41 x 10(-4) mol L(-1), which can be utilized for determining traces of calf thymus DNA with a detection limit of 1.1 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) in base pairs.  相似文献

The photophysical properties of a series of prepared ruthenium tris(bipyridine) complexes, covalently linked to aromatic species, of type [Ru(bpy)(2)-(4-methyl-4'-(arylaminocarbonyl)-2,2'-bipyridine)](2+) ([Ru(bpy)(2)(mbpy-L)](2+), where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; mbpy = 4-methyl-4'-carbonyl-2,2'-bipyridine; and L = 2-aminonaphthyl (naph), 9-aminoanthryl (anth), 1-aminopyrenyl (pyr), or 9-aminoacridinyl (acrd)) were studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy and steady state and time resolved luminescence spectroscopies. The absorption spectra of the MLCT electronic transition of the complexes are similar, which is in agreement with a practically constant redox potential of Ru(III/II) close to 1.28 V versus Ag/AgCl. However, the luminescence spectra of the new complexes are red shifted compared to Ru(bpy)(3)(2+), and this effect is ascribed to solvation and inductive effects of the amide group which enhance the symmetry breakdown among the three bipyridyl ligands. The energy stabilization of the (3)MLCT state is in the range 2.1-8.4 kJ/mol. The triplet-triplet energy transfer between the Ru complex and the aromatic species linked by an amide spacer is a slow process with rate constants of 2.6 x 10(4), 3.6 x 10(4), and 4.9 x 10(4) s(-)(1) for anthracene, acridine, and pyrene as acceptors in methanol, respectively. The energy transfer rate constant increases with decreasing polarity of the solvent. In dichloromethane, the rate constants for anthracene, acridine, and pyrene acceptors are 2.6 x 10(5), 1.5 x 10(5), and 2.9 x 10(5) s(-)(1), respectively. The low efficiency of energy transfer is due to the small difference in triplet energy between donor and acceptor species, weak electronic coupling, and unfavorable Franck-Condon factors, despite the short separation distance between donor and acceptor species in an amide bridge.  相似文献

The rates and products of cleavage of methyl (2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (2) promoted by a dinuclear Zn(II) complex (3) of 1,3-bis-N,N'(1,5,9-triazacyclododecyl)propane along with 1 equiv of ethoxide were investigated in ethanol solution containing small amounts of water (8 mM or=1.6 x 10(17) times relative to the background hydroxide reaction, suggesting that complex 3 promotes the hydrolysis at least 1000 times more effectively than ethanolysis.  相似文献

[reaction: see text] A series of 9,9'-spirobifluorene-bridged bipolar compounds DnAm bearing various n:m ratios for triarylamine (D) versus 1,3,4-oxadiazole-conjugated oligoaryl moiety (A) have been synthesized to investigate the corresponding photoinduced electron transfer (PET) property. The excitation behaviors were probed by steady-state absorption, emission, fluorescence solvatochromism, and femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion spectroscopy. The overall reaction dynamics can be rationalized by the rate of PET, in combination with solvent relaxation dynamics. It was found that the rate of PET is dependent on the anchored D/A ratio. The rate of D1A1 and D2A1 was resolved to be approximately 2.44 x 10(12) and 2.32 x 10(12) s(-)(1), respectively, while it is irresolvable in D1A2 and D2A2 (>6.6 x 10(12) s(-)(1)). In another approach, based on the comprehensive X-ray data, cyclic voltammetry, and absorption/emission spectra, the rate of photoinduced electron transfer was also qualitatively estimated. Fair comparisons were made between experimental and theoretical approaches to gain detailed insight into the PET for the titled systems.  相似文献

The electronic absorption spectra of a Zr(0.78)Y(0.21)Ho(0.01)O(1.90) single crystal have been measured in in situ conditions between room temperature and 1289 K. The evolution of the spectra with rising temperatures is characterised by an overall increase in intensity. Notably the intensities of the (5)I(8) --> (5)F(2), (5)I(8) --> (5)S(2) and (5)I(8) --> (5)G(6) transitions increase by factors of two to three. The evaluation of the spectral parameters favours the conclusion that the intensity increases are due to vibronic coupling associated with effective frequencies ranging between 1 x 10(13) and 5 x 10(13) s(-1) (330 cm(-1) and 1670 cm(-1)). The changes in the optical spectra are reversible and are not connected with structural changes in the material.  相似文献

Detection of O(2)(1Delta(g)) phosphorescence emission, lambda(max)=1270 nm, following laser excitation and steady state methods were employed to determine the total rate constant, k(T), for the reaction between the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam (PRX) and singlet oxygen in several solvents. Values of k(T) ranged from 0.048+/-0.003 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) in chloroform to 71.2+/-2.2 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) in N,N-dimethylformamide. The chemical reaction rate constant, k(R), was determined by using thermal decomposition of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene endoperoxide as the singlet oxygen source. In acetonitrile, the k(R) value is equal to 5.0+/-0.4 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), very close to the k(T) value. This result indicates that, in this solvent, the chemical reaction corresponds to the main reaction path. Dependence of total rate constant on the solvent parameters pi* and beta can be explained in terms of a reaction mechanism that involves the formation of a perepoxide intermediate. Rearrangement of the perepoxide to dioxetane followed by ring cleavage and transacylation accounts for the formation of N-methylsaccharine and N-(2-pyridyl)oxamic acid, the main reaction products. Data obtained in dioxane-water (pH 4) mixtures with neutral enolic and zwitterionic tautomers of piroxicam in equilibrium show that the zwitterionic tautomer reacts with singlet oxygen faster than the enolic tautomer.  相似文献

Structure, stability, and vibrational IR and Raman spectra of I(2)(*-) x nCO(2) clusters (n = 1-10) are reported based on first-principle electronic structure calculations. Several close-lying minimum energy structures are predicted for these solvated clusters following the quasi Newton-Raphson procedure of geometry optimization. Search strategy based on Monte-Carlo simulated annealing is also applied to find out the global minimum energy structures of these clusters. Successive addition of solvent CO(2) molecules to the negatively charged diatomic solute, I(2)(*-), is fairly symmetrical. Energy parameters of these solvated clusters are calculated following second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) as well as coupled cluster theory with 6-311+G(d) set of basis function (I atom is treated with 6-311G(d) set of basis function). The excess electron in these solvated clusters is observed to be localized mainly over the two I atoms. Average interaction energy between the anionic solute, I(2)(*-), and a solvent CO(2) molecule is approximately 129 meV in I(2)(*-) x nCO(2) clusters, and the average interaction energy between two solvent CO(2) molecules is approximately 85 meV in the case of neutral (CO(2))(n) clusters at MP2 level of theory. IR spectra show similar features in all these solvated clusters, depicting a strong band at approximately 2330 cm(-1) for C-O stretching and a weak band at approximately 650 cm(-1) for CO(2) bending modes. Degeneracy of the bending mode of a free solvent CO(2) unit gets lifted when it interacts with the charged solute I(2)(*-) to form a molecular cluster because of the change in structure of solvent CO(2) units. The vibrational band at the bending region of CO(2) in the Raman spectra of these anionic clusters shows a characteristic feature for the formation of I(2)(*-) x nCO(2) clusters showing a Raman band at approximately 650 cm(-1).  相似文献

Reaction of the free-radical diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH(.)) with Trolox (TrOH) was investigated in buffered hydroalcoholic media by using a stopped-flow system. DPPH was reduced to the hydrazine analogue DPPH-H with a measured stoichiometry of about 2. DPPH-H was characterized by an acid-base equilibrium (pKa = 8.6). Time-resolved absorption spectra recorded with an excess of either TrOH or DPPH indicated that no significant amount of the TrO radical was accumulated. The TrO radical formed in a first step further reacted quickly with DPPH(.). For 1 : 1 ethanol-buffer mixtures at pH 7.4, the bimolecular rate constants of the first and second steps were 1.1 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) and 2 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. A significant increase of the measured rate constant was observed for ethanol-buffer solutions as compared to ethanol. The rate was also increased at higher pH. A deuterium isotopic effect of 2.9 was measured. These data are discussed with regards to mechanisms involving either electron or proton exchange as rate determining steps in the reaction of DPPH with Trolox. The importance of solvent acidity control in investigation of antioxidant properties is outlined.  相似文献

The electronic transitions occurring in 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-hydroxyflavone (DMAF) and 2-furanyl-3-hydroxychromone (FHC) were investigated using the TDDFT method in aprotic and protic solvents. The solvent effect was incorporated into the calculations via the PCM formalism. The H-bonding between solute and protic solvent was taken into account by considering a molecular complex between these molecules. To examine the effect of the H-bond on the ESIPT reaction, the absorption and emission wavelengths as well as the energies of the different states that intervene during these electronic transitions were calculated in acetonitrile, ethanol and methanol. The calculated positions of the absorption and emission wavelengths in various solvents were in excellent agreement with the experimental spectra, validating our approach. We found that in DMAF, the hydrogen bonding with protic solvents makes the ESIPT reaction energetically unfavourable, which explains the absence of the ESIPT tautomer emission in protic solvents. In contrast, the excited tautomer state of FHC remains energetically favourable in both aprotic and protic solvents. Comparing our calculations with the previously reported time-resolved fluorescence data, the ESIPT reaction of DMAF in aprotic solvents is reversible because the emitting states are energetically close, whereas in FHC, ESIPT is irreversible because the tautomer state is below the corresponding normal state. Therefore, the ESIPT reaction in DMAF is controlled by the relative energies of the excited states (thermodynamic control), while in FHC the ESIPT is controlled probably by the energetic barrier (kinetic control).  相似文献

The apparent diffusion coefficients of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium ([Ru(bpy(3))](2+)) are estimated in silica-nanochannels which are assembled inside columnar alumina pores in an anodic alumina membrane, and are modified with alkylsilanes such as trimethylchlorosilane (C1), butyldimethylchlorosilane (C4), and dodecyldimethylchlorosilane (C12). The estimation is performed by observing the lag-time, which is defined as the time required for [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) to diffuse through alkylsilane-modified silica-nanochannels in the alumina membrane. When ethanol is used as a solvent, the apparent diffusion coefficients of [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) are estimated as 2.1 x 10(-10) and 3.2 x 10(-10) cm(2) s(-1) in the C1- and C4-modified silica-nanochannels, respectively. These values are about 10(4) times smaller than that obtained in bulk ethanol. Based on the experimental results on the solvent dependency of the lag-time, the hydrogen-bonding interaction between ethanol molecules is considered to be stronger in the C1- and C4-modified silica-nanochannels than in bulk ethanol, and the hydrogen-bonding interaction plays a critical role for the slow diffusivity in those nanochannels. In contrast, the apparent diffusion coefficient in the C12-modified silica-nanochannel is at least two orders of magnitude larger than those in the C1- and C4-modified silica-nanochannels. This relatively fast diffusion is most likely explained by the presence of a long alkyl chain of C12, which reduces a hindrance effect that is originates in the hydrogen-bonding interaction.  相似文献

The synthesis and charge transfer properties of triarylamine-oligothiophene-perylenemonoimide dendrimers, TPA(T2-PMI)3 and TPA(T4-PMI)3, are described. The fluorescence quantum yields indicate strong emission quenching by electron transfer [phi(THF) = 0.004 for TPA(T2-PMI)3, phi(THF) = 0.003 for TPA(T4-PMI)3, and phi(THF) = 0.8 for PMI]. Moreover, with the increase of the solvent polarity, the quantum yields decrease indicating that the A+* D-* (acceptor/donor) couple is more stabilized. The femtosecond transient absorption spectra show a very fast charge separation process (approximately 2 ps; k(cs) approximately 5 x 10(11) s(-1)) and a charge recombination of more than 1 order of magnitude slower (approximately 50 ps; k(cr) approximately 2 x 10(10) s(-1)), as observed from the rise time and decay of the radical anion and radical cation absorption bands. The analysis of the transient absorption spectroscopy and of the energetics of the process using Marcus theory indicates that in the electron transfer process the thiophene unit is the first electron donor. The triarylamine is not functioning as a second electron donor, as also substantiated by the absence of an effect of the addition of acid on the emission intensity of the dendrimers. The presence of the triarylamine and/or the proximity of the oligothiophenes does improve the donor capabilities of the oligothiophene unit slightly and enhances its conjugation as seen in the absorption spectra and the transients of the radial cations. These results can be used for a better design of molecular materials for, e.g., photovoltaic applications.  相似文献

The solvent and temperature dependence of the phototautomerization of 1-methyl-2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole (4) and the novel compounds 2-(4'-amino-2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole (1), 2-(4'-N,N-diethylamino-2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole (2), and 1-methyl-2-(4'-N,N-diethylamino-2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole (3), together with the ground-state rotamerism and tautomerism of these new compounds, have been studied by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. A solvent-modulated rotameric and tautomeric equilibrium is observed in the ground state for 1, 2, and 3. In cyclohexane, these compounds mainly exist as a planar syn normal form, with the hydroxyl group hydrogen-bonded to the benzimidazole N3. In ethanol, the syn form is in equilibrium with its planar anti rotamer (for 1 and 2), with the phenyl ring rotated 180 degrees about the C2-C1' bond and with a nonplanar rotamer for compound 3. In aqueous solution, a tautomeric equilibrium is established between the anti normal form (or the nonplanar rotamer for 3) and the tautomer (with the hydroxyl proton transferred to the benzimidazole N3). The syn normal form of these compounds undergoes in all the solvents an excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer process from the hydroxyl group to the benzimidazole N3 to yield the excited tautomer. The tautomer fluorescence quantum yield of 2, 3, and 4 shows a temperature-, polarity-, and viscosity-dependent radiationless deactivation, connected with a large-amplitude conformational motion. We conclude that this excited-state conformational change experienced by the tautomer is associated with an intramolecular charge transfer from the deprotonated dialkylaminophenol or phenol (donor) to the protonated benzimidazole (acceptor), affording a nonfluorescent charge-transfer tautomer. Therefore, these compounds undergo an excited-state intramolecular coupled proton- and charge-transfer process.  相似文献

Phthalocyanine zinc(II) (ZnPc) was found to be adsorbed well into a Nafion (Nf) film. The kinetic analysis suggested that the adsorption of ZnPc into the Nf film is controlled by its diffusion in the Nf film with a diffusion coefficient of D = 1.9 x 10(-6) cm(2) s(-1) that is higher than those (10(-9)-10(-12) cm(2) s(-1)) of cationic redox molecules in the Nf film by 3-6 orders of magnitude. The adsorption isothermal was analyzed by a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) equation suggesting multilayer adsorption of ZnPc into the film. The BET analysis provided the amount of ZnPc for monolayer adsorption (w(m) = 1.50 x 10(-7) mol cm(-2)), from which the effective area for the ZnPc adsorption was estimated to be larger by a factor of 1.7 x 10(3) than the Nf film area (1.0 cm(2)). The absorption spectra of a Nf film adsorbing ZnPc ((Nf/ZnPc)(ads) film) exhibited two broad absorption bands at 385 and 680-750 nm without any structural features, which is significantly different from the absorption spectra of either ZnPc solution in DMF or a (Nf/ZnPc)(mix) film prepared from a DMF solution containing Nf and ZnPc by solvent evaporation. This is ascribed to the formation of a ZnPc aggregate in the (Nf/ZnPc)(ads) film. Photoluminescence data for the (Nf/ZnPc)(mix) film suggested the presence of a ZnPc monomer and dimer at equilibrium in the film with a concentration of 0.1 M and that energy transfer occurs from the monomer to the dimer in excitation of the monomer (at lambda(ex) = 609 nm) to yield emission from the dimer. By contrast, photoluminescence data for the (Nf/ZnPc)(ads) film suggested that the excited ZnPc is self-quenched significantly by the formation of the ZnPc aggregate in the film. The lesser electroactivity of ZnPc in the (Nf/ZnPc)(ads) film compared with that in the (Nf/ZnPc)(mix) film could be ascribable to more difficult diffusion of ZnPc in the former film due to the formation of the ZnPc aggregate. The adsorption of ZnPc into the Nf film was significantly regulated by simple pretreatments of the Nf film such as immersion in solvents and storage under solvent vapors. The regulation was explained by controlled physical and chemical properties of a channel for mass and ion transport that is formed by sulfonate groups, countercations, and solvent molecules in the Nf film.  相似文献

Second-order rate constants were determined in D(2)O for deprotonation of acetamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and acetate anion by deuterioxide ion and for deprotonation of acetamide by quinuclidine. The values of k(B) = 4.8 x 10(-8) M(-1) s(-1) for deprotonation of acetamide by quinuclidine (pK(BH) = 11.5) and k(BH) = 2-5 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) for the encounter-limited reverse protonation of the enolate by protonated quinuclidine give pK(a)(C) = 28.4 for ionization of acetamide as a carbon acid. The limiting value of k(HOH) = 1 x 10(11) s(-1) for protonation of the enolate of acetate anion by solvent water and k(HO) = 3.5 x 10(-9) M(-1) s(-1) for deprotonation of acetate anion by HO(-) give pK(a)(C) approximately 33.5 for acetate anion. The change in the rate-limiting step from chemical proton transfer to solvent reorganization results in a downward break in the slope of the plot of log k(HO) against carbon acid pK(a) for deprotonation of a wide range of neutral alpha-carbonyl carbon acids by hydroxide ion, from -0.40 to -1.0. Good estimates are reported for the stabilization of the carbonyl group relative to the enol tautomer by electron donation from alpha-SEt, alpha-OMe, alpha-NH(2), and alpha-O(-) substituents. The alpha-NH(2) and alpha-OMe groups show similar stabilizing interactions with the carbonyl group, while the interaction of alpha-O(-) is only 3.4 kcal/mol more stabilizing than for alpha-OH. We propose that destabilization of the enolate intermediates of enzymatic reactions results in an increasing recruitment of metal ions by the enzyme to provide electrophilic catalysis of enolate formation.  相似文献

The long-wave absorption band in the UV spectrum of 4-methyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one is highly sensitive to specific solvation by hydrogen bonding with a protophilic solvent. The UV and IR spectra suggest that the compound mainly exists in the form of the N1H tautomer. The qualitative and quantitative relationships characterizing the solvent effect on the spectral characteristics of the major tautomer were elucidated.  相似文献

The continuous-time core-level photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) spectroscopy was employed to monitor the monochromatic soft x-ray-induced reactions of CF3Cl adsorbed on Si(111)-7x7 near the F(1s) edge (681-704 eV). Sequential F+ PSD spectra were measured as a function of photon exposure at the CF3Cl-covered surface (dose=0.3x10(15) molecules/cm2, approximately 0.75 ML). The F+ PSD and total electron yield (TEY) spectra of molecular solid CF3Cl near the F(1s) edge were also measured. Both F+ PSD and TEY spectra show two features at the energy positions of 690.2 and 692.6 eV, and are attributed to the excitations of F(1s) to 11a1[(C-Cl)*] and (8e+12a1)[(C-F)*] antibonding orbitals, respectively. Following Auger decay, two holes are created in the F(2p) lone pair and/or C-F bonding orbitals forming the 2h1e final state which leads to the F+ desorption. This PSD mechanism, which is responsible for the F+ PSD of solid CF3Cl, is employed to interpret the first F+ PSD spectrum in the sequential F+ PSD spectra. The variation of spectrum shapes in the sequential F+ PSD spectra indicates the dissipation of adsorbed CF3Cl molecules and the formation of surface SiF species as a function of photon exposure. From the sequential F+ PSD spectra the photolysis cross section of the adsorbed CF3Cl molecules by photons with varying energy (681-704 eV) is determined to be approximately 1.0x10(-17) cm2.  相似文献

The azide ion is a strong physical quencher of singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) and is frequently employed to show involvement of 1O2 in oxidation processes. Rate constants (k(q)) for the quenching of 1O2 by azide are routinely used as standards to calculate k(q) values for quenching by other substrates. We have measured k(q) for azide in solvent mixtures containing deuterium oxide (D2O), acetonitrile (MeCN), 1,4-dioxane, ethanol (EtOH), propylene carbonate (PC), or ethylene carbonate (EC), mixtures commonly used for many experimental studies. The rate constants were calculated directly from 1O2 phosphorescence lifetimes observed after laser pulse excitation of rose bengal (RB), used to generate 1O2. In aqueous mixtures with MeCN and carbonates, the rate constant increased nonlinearly with increasing volume of organic solvent in the mixtures. k(q) was 4.78 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) in D2O and increased to 26.7 x 10(8) and 27.7 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) in 96% MeCN and 97.7% EC/PC, respectively. However, in EtOH/D2O mixtures, k(q) decreased with increasing alcohol concentration. This shows that a higher solvent polarity increases the quenching efficiency, which is unexpectedly decreased by the proticity of aqueous and alcohol solvent mixtures. The rate constant values increased with increasing temperature, yielding a quenching activation energy of 11.3 kJ mol(-1) in D2O. Our results show that rate constants in most solvent mixtures cannot be derived reliably from k(q) values measured in pure solvents by using a simple additivity rule. We have measured the rate constants with high accuracy, and they may serve as a reliable reference to calculate unknown k(q) values.  相似文献

The influence of solvent, temperature, and viscosity on the phototautomerization processes of a series of o-hydroxyarylbenzazoles was studied by means of ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The compounds studied were 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole (HBI), 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HBO), 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), 2-(3'-hydroxy-2'-pyridyl)benzimidazole (HPyBI), and the new derivative 2-(3'-hydroxy-2'-pyridyl)benzoxazole (HPyBO), this one studied in neutral and acid media. All of these compounds undergo an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) from the hydroxyl group to the benzazole N3 to yield an excited tautomer in syn conformation. A temperature- and viscosity-dependent radiationless deactivation of the tautomer has been detected for all compounds except HBI and HPyBI. We show that this radiationless decay also takes place for 2-(3-methyl-1,3-benzothiazol-3-ium-2-yl)benzenolate (NMeOBT), the N-methylated analog of the tautomer, whose ground-state structure has anti conformation. In ethanol, the radiationless decay shows intrinsic activation energy for HPyBO and HBO; however, it is barrierless for HBT and NMeOBT and controlled instead by the solvent dynamics. The relative efficiency of the radiationless decay in the series of molecules studied supports the hypothesis that this transition is connected with a charge-transfer process taking place in the tautomer, its efficiency being related to the strength of the electron donor (dissociated phenol or pyridinol moiety) and electron acceptor (protonated benzazole). We propose that the charge transfer is associated with a large-amplitude conformational change of the tautomer, the process leading to a nonfluorescent charge-transfer intermediate. The previous ESIPT step generates the structure with the suitable redox pair to undergo the charge-transfer process; therefore, an excited-state intramolecular coupled proton and charge transfer takes place for these compounds.  相似文献
