The fluorescence properties of 2-aryl-3-hydroxyquinolin-4(1H)-one-carboxamides (3HQCs) with carboxylic alkylamide groups at positions 6, 7 or 8 (3HQ6Cs, 3HQ7Cs, and 3HQ8Cs) have been studied to evaluate their potential as molecular probes.     

Fluorescence properties of some 2-(4-amino-substituted-3-nitrophenyl)-3-hydroxyquinolin-4(1H)-ones

2-(4-Amino-substituted-3-nitrophenyl)-3-hydroxyquinolin-4(1H)-ones have been studied to evaluate their fluorescence properties and possible use as molecular fluorescent probes. The amino group was substituted with various alkyl moieties possessing a suitable terminal functional group (such as hydroxy or amino group) that could serve to bind a 3-hydroxyquinolin-4(1H)-one (3HQ) fluorescence label to a biomolecule. Besides simple hydrocarbon chains, ligands containing ethylenoxy units as optimal spacers were also tested. The structure-fluorescence properties and theoretical applicability of the studied molecules are discussed.     

3-Hydroxybenzo[g]quinolones: dyes with red-shifted absorption and highly resolved dual emission

New derivatives of 3-hydroxyquinolone (3HQ) with a fused benzene ring (3-hydroxybenzo[g]quinolones) have been synthesized. They display a remarkable red shift of their absorption spectrum in comparison with other 3HQ analogs allowing their excitation by common He/Cd and Ar-ion lasers. As a result of their irreversible excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction, they display a dual fluorescence in a series of solvents of varying polarities, starting from toluene to methanol. The dual emission of these dyes correlates well with solvent H-bond basicity, which is connected with the effect of this solvent property on the kinetics of the ESIPT reaction. In addition to their red-shifted absorption and fluorescence, these new derivatives show a larger separation of their two emission bands and a more appropriate range of their intensity ratio than the previously synthesized 3HQs. These properties allow an improved ratiometric evaluation of the local H-bond basicity of unknown environments, which will favor future applications of the new dyes in polymer and biological sciences.     

Synthesis of 3-hydroxyflavone fluorescent probes and study of their fluorescence properties

<正>Direct measurement of dipole potential in biological membranes has been impossible and 3-hydroxyflavones(3HFs) have allowed detection of changes in dipole potential in biological systems.In the present study,sixteen derivatives of 3HF with aliphatic hydrocarbon chains of different lengths at 4′-position and 6-position were synthesized.The basic fluorescence properties of 3HFs are maintained in all the probes in terms of strong blue shift in maximum fluorescence emission wavelength and100 fold increase in quantum yield in organic solvents and in dioleoylphosphatidylcholine(DOPC) small unilamellar vesicles(SUV) in comparison to in aqueous Hepes buffer(15 mmol/L,pH 7.4).More importantly,the ability of the new compounds to report dipole potential changes in biological systems are also maintained,since all the new probes showed spectrum properties that are similar to yet different from that of F4N1,which potentially may allow more sensitive measurement of the dipole potential change in membranes.

Synthesis and study of a cyclophane displaying dual fluorescence emission: a novel ratiometric sensor for carboxylic acids in organic medium

The synthesis and fluorescent properties of a novel cyclophane containing two l-valine units and one naphthalene chromophore are described. Synthesis of the macrocycle 1 was accomplished without using high-dilution methods in moderate to high yields. The fluorescence spectrum of 1 in neutral dichloromethane shows a band at 390 nm attributable to emission from an exciplex formed between the naphthalene unit and the neighboring amine groups. Addition of trifluoroacetic acid restores the typical naphthalene emission at 330 nm. Due to the fact that both emissions have similar intensities under the working conditions, the ratio between them can be used to obtain a ratiometric response to carboxylic acids in organic medium.

Combination of a BODIPY dye with a nitronyl nitroxide or an imino nitroxide or a bifunctional pyrroline nitroxide furnished a nitric oxide, a redox sensitive molecule and a double (spin and fluorescence) label, respectively.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and fluorescence properties of several schiff-base compounds

Two new Schiff-base compounds, 1,6-bis(4-dimethylaminobenzyl)-2,5-diaza-1,5-hexadiene (bdh), 1,4-bis(4-dimethylaminobenzyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (bdb), and a silver complex of the latter ([Ag₂(bdb)₃(NO₃)₂]·H₂O, 1) have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of complex 1 was determined. 1 is a dinuclear complex, with the silver ions lying in coordination tetrahedra formed by two nitrogen atoms from the bdb ligands and two oxygen atoms from the nitrate anions. The fluorescence properties of bdh and bdb were studied; the fluorescence of bdb was quenched by the addition of silver ions, indicating that it is a potential fluorescent reagent for the analysis of silver.     

N-2-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles: a novel class of UV/blue-light-emitting fluorophores with tunable optical properties

The N-2-aryl-1,2,3-triazole derivatives (NATs) were developed as a new class of UV/blue-light-emitting fluorophores. Though both N-1-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles and N-2-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles gave strong photo absorption under excitation at 330 nm, only the N-2-analogous showed strong fluorescence emission in the UV/blue range with high efficiency in various solvents (quantum yield Φ around 0.3-0.5). Significant substituted group effects were observed, allowing tunable optical properties with emission (λ(max)) from 350-400 nm and Stokes shift from 38-93 nm. The computational studies along with X-ray crystal structures indicated the significance of the effective conjugation between triazole ring and aryl groups on the N-2 position. The planar intramolecular charge transfer (PICT) mechanism was proposed, which was supported by solvent effect studies. Simple derivatizations gave NAT-modified lysine and strong UV/blue emitting bis-NAT (Φ=0.76, λ(max)=390), which suggested the great potential of this new class of fluorophores in biological and material science research.     

Synthesis and fluorescence behaviour of crown and azacrown ethers carrying the dansyl fluorophore as a pendant in acetonitrile solution

The influence of Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺ ions on the spectroscopic properties of the dansyl group covalently linked to crown ether or diazacrown ethers was investigated by means of absorption and emission spectrophotometry. Interaction of the alkali metal ions with all fluoroionophores studied is weak, while alkaline earth metal ions interact strongly causing about 50% quenching of dansyl fluorescence of A21C5-Dns and A₂18C6-Dns. The Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺ cations interact very strongly with dansyl chromophore regardless the crown ether type, causing a major change in absorption spectrum of the chromophore and forming non-fluorescent complexes. The Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn², Mg²⁺ and Ag⁺ cations interact moderately with all fluoroionophores studied causing about 20% of fluorescence quenching of dansyl, except for a strong dansyl fluorescence quenching of 15C5-Dns by Co²⁺ ion. The quenching efficiency of didansylated fluoroionophores by the alkali metal ions and alkaline earth metal ions is weaker than monodansylated ones.

Phenoxy-benzothiadiazole dyes: Synthesis,photophysical properties and preliminary application in OLEDs

The synthesis of a phenoxy-benzothiadiazole (BTD) derivative is reported for the first time. This derivative was employed as an intermediate in the obtention of two novel highly fluorescent aryl-phenoxy-BTD dyes. Their photophysical properties were evaluated in solution and the results indicate a strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character in the excited state. The luminophore 3a, possessing a donor-BTD-phenoxide architecture, exhibits superior fluorescence quantum yield (0.67) than the designed acceptor-BTD-phenoxide dye (0.06). After electrochemical and photoluminescence characterization of thin films of 3a, an OLED with the configuration ITO/PEDOT:PSS/3a/TPBi/LiF/Al was constructed. This device displayed a green emission centered at 547?nm, with CIE coordinates of (0.40, 0.55). For comparison, an OLED using a previously reported luminescent BTD-pyridyl derivative was also constructed. The OLED made with the phenoxy-BTD derivative operated using less current density and led to higher irradiance and electrical stability, indicating the high potential of ArO-BTD dyes for future application in electroluminescent devices.

Primary and secondary amines, 3-amino-4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid and 2-bromo-1-(4-chloro-3-nitrophenyl)ethanone were used as starting materials. The structures of the final compounds were designed in accordance with previous information obtained from structure–activity relationship studies of similar cytotoxic derivatives. Representative prepared compounds were subjected to in vitro screening of cytotoxic activity against various cancer cell lines; the results obtained are discussed.

Bichromophoric hemicyanine dyes as fluorescence probes applied for monitoring of the photochemically initiated polymerization

The spectroscopic properties of series homodimmeric hemicyanine dyes based on (p-N,N-dimethylaminostyryl)benzothiazolium, (p-N,N-dimethylaminostyryl)benzoxazolium, (p-N,N-dimethylaminostyryl)-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium residues were determined. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the dyes under study were measured in different polarity solvents at room temperature. On the basis of the solvatochromic behavior the ground state (μ_g) and excited state (μ_e) dipole moments of bis-(N,N-dimethylaminostyryl) derivatives were evaluated. The dipole moments (μ_g and μ_e) were estimated from solvatochromic shifts of absorption and fluorescence spectra as function of dielectric constant (ε) and refractive index (n) of applied solvents. The absorption and fluorescence spectra are only slightly affected by the solvent polarity. The analysis of solvatochromic behavior of the fluorescence spectra as a function of Δf (ε, n) revealed that the emission occurs from a high polarity excited state. The large dipole moment changes along with the red-shifted fluorescence, as the solvent polarity is increased, demonstrates the formation of an intramolecular charge transfer state (ICT). Six bichromophoric hemicyanine dyes, possessing benzothiazole, benzoxazole or indolinium group linked by 5 or 10 methylene groups were evaluated as fluorescence probes applied for monitoring of the polymerization process. The study on the changes in fluorescence intensity and spectroscopic shift of studied compounds were carried out during photochemically initiated polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-propane-1,3-diol triacrylate (TMPTA).     

Structure and fluorescence properties of indole cyanine and merocyanine dyes with partially locked polymethine chain

The fluorescent properties of a series of symmetric cationic cyanine dyes and merocyanines with trimethylene bridge connecting N-atom of the indole residue with α-position of the polymethine chain have been explored in detail. It is shown that the constraining group influences their fluorescent properties both by steric and electronic effects. It revealed an essential decrease of the fluorescence quantum yields of the constrained symmetric cyanine dyes in comparison with those of their analogues without bridge group in their chromophore. This effect diminishes essentially at polymethine chain lengthening. In the case of merocyanines the bridge group can cause a decrease as well a substantial increase of their fluorescence quantum yields depending on their type of solvatochromism and solvent polarity. The conclusions made on the basis of the experimental data are in good agreement with the results of semiempirical quantum-chemical calculations.     

Synthesis,fluorescence properties,and conformational analysis of ether-linked (1,8)pyrenophanes

Mono-, di- and oligo-ether linked (1,8)pyrenophanes 1–7 were synthesized, and their fluorescence and conformational properties in the absence and presence of metal ions were elucidated. Fluorescence spectra of 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M solutions of the mono- and di-ether linked pyrenophanes 1–5 were comprised of only monomer emission bands, while those of the oligoethylene glycol linked analogs 6 and 7 contained both monomer and intramolecular excimer emission bands. Addition of perchlorate salts of Ba²⁺, Na⁺ and Li⁺ to 1:1 v/v CH₃CN:CH₂Cl₂ solutions of 6 and 7 caused decreases in the intensities of the corresponding intramolecular excimer emission bands and, in some cases, increases in the intensities of the monomer emission. Monomer and intramolecular excimer emission from the (1,8)pyrenophanes are suggested to arise from the respective anti and syn conformers, whose ratios are dependent on solvent polarity, temperature and kinds of added metal ions.
