4-氟苯甲醛酪氨酸席夫碱(4-FT)由4-氟苯甲醛和L-酪氨酸钾盐在室温条件下反应制得,4-FT的结构通过1HNMR,FTIR和Raman测试得到确认。分别用密度泛函(DFT,density functional theory)理论的B3LYP(Becke’s three-parameter exchange functional(B3)with Lee,Yang,Parr(LYP))方法和从头算(ab initio)理论的HF(Hartree-Fock)方法,选用标准的6-31G**和6-31G*基组对化合物4-FT的几何构型进行优化。同时分别在B3LYP/6-31G**,B3LYP/6-31G*,HF/6-31G**和HF/6-31G*水平下计算4-FT的振动波数。用密度泛函(DFT)的B3LYP方法计算并校正后的波长数据比用从头算(ab i-nitio)的HF方法计算的结果更与实验数据吻合。     

Time-dependent density functional theory study on excited state intramolecular proton transfer of 3-hydroxy-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one

The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method was carried out to investigate the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process of 3-hydroxy-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one (1a). 1a has two tautomeric forms: one is 1a(O), which is induced by intramolecular hydrogen bond O-H?O=C, and the other one is 1a(N), which is caused by intramolecular hydrogen bond O-H?N. From excited state to tautomer excited state coming from ESIPT, the hydroxyl hydrogen breaks away and the dissociated hydrogen adsorbed on pyridinic nitrogen or carbonyl oxygen formed new intramolecular HB and the corresponding bond length and bond angle varied greatly. In comparison, a similar process of proton transfer for 1a(N)H⁺ protonated 1a(N) from ground state to excited state was obtained. This detailed proton transfer mechanism was provided by molecular orbitals analysis and it may be applied to molecular switch and organic Lewis acid/base. We investigated the excited state proton transfer mechanism of the four molecules through the theoretical method for the first time and gave unambiguous geometry of excited state.     

Photo-induced charge transfer emission in (E)-3-(4-dimethylamino-naphthalen-1-yl)-acrylic acid and its use as metal ions fluorosensor

In this study, spectroscopic properties of (E)-3-(4-dimethylamino-naphthalen-1-yl)-acrylic acid (DMANAA) have been explored using absorption and emission spectroscopy in combination with quantum chemical calculations. In addition to the local emission, the molecule shows a red-shifted emission from the charge transfer state. The charge transfer emission band is found to be dependent on polarity and hydrogen-bonding ability of the solvents. This photo-induced charge transfer process has been explored theoretically at Density Functional Theory level using twisted intramolecular charge transfer model. Structural calculations and potential energy surfaces along the donor twist coordinate done by Density Functional Theory correlate well with the spectroscopic observations. Addition of metal ions to DMANAA solutions in acetonitrile solvent shows progressive quenching of the charge transfer band and growth of a blue-shifted band, making way for its use as a good fluorosensor for various metal ions.

Interaction between 1-[p-(dimethylamino) benzoyl]-4′-phenyl-semicarbazide and Cu

A new compound, 1-[p-(dimethylamino)benzoyl]-4′-phenyl-semicarbazide (1) was synthesized and showed highly selective response to Cu²⁺ over other metal ions such as Pb²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Ni²⁺, Ca²⁺, Ag⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, and Li⁺. The control compound, 1-[p-(dimethylamino)benzoyl]-4-phenyl-thiosemicarbazide (2), showed different fluorescence spectral response to Cu²⁺. A 1:1 complex between Cu²⁺ and 1 was formed while 1:1 and 1:2 complexes between Cu²⁺ and 2 were formed. The binding model between the receptor (1 or 2) and Cu²⁺ was supported by IR spectra, mass spectra, and computation model. 1 possessed higher selectivity towards Cu²⁺ compared with 2 owing to the difference of complexation ability between urea and thiourea groups.     

Spectral characteristics of 2-(4′-amino-3-pyridyl)benzimidazole: Effects of solvent and acid or base concentration

Spectral characteristics of 2-(4′-amino-3-pyridyl)benzimidazole (4-A3PyBI) have been studied in different solvents, as well as at different acid or base concentrations using absorption, fluorescence excitation and fluorescence spectroscopy. Excited singlet state (S₁) lifetimes for each species were measured using nanosecond time-dependent spectrofluorimeter. AM1 semi-empirical and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations were performed on each species for the spectral assignment. From the above results it is concluded that 4-A3PyBI exists only in the amine form. First protonation occurs at pyridineN- atom and second protonation at the benzimidazole (BI)N- atom. When dication (DC) species is excited, two emission bands are observed, having the same fluorescence excitation spectra, suggesting the same ground state (S₀) precursor. Short wavelength (SW) emission band is assigned to the π-π* transition and long wavelength (LW) emission to the charge transfer transition. First deprotonation in S₀ state occurs from >N-H moiety, whereas in S₁ state it is from -NH₂ group. Monoanion (MA) so formed in S₁ state is non-fluorescent. Dianion (DA) is formed by further deprotonating >N-H moiety in S₁ state and it is fluorescent. pK_a values were determined and discussed.
