Novel fluorescent 2‐(2‐aminofluorophenyl)benzoxazoles: Syntheses and photophysical properties

2‐(2‐Amino‐3,4,5,6‐tetrafluorophenyl)benzoxazole ( 2 ) absorbs in long wavelength band (λ_abs^max = 346 nm in methanol) and in the normal wavelength band (λ_abs^max = 285.5 nm), and emits blue fluorescence. The emission intensity is highly affected by the solvent polarity and is large in a polar solvent such as methanol. 2‐(2‐Pentafluorobenzamido‐3,4,5,6‐ tetrafluorophenyl)benzoxazole ( 5 ) emits green fluorescence along with the short wavelength emission around 380 nm and their relative intensity depends on the solvent polarity. Green fluorescence is enhanced in nonpolar solvents such as chloroform and toluene, resulting in the considerably large Stokes shift.     

Photoregulated fluorescence switching in axially coordinated tin(IV) porphyrinic dithienylethene

Photochromic fluorophore Sn(TTP)(DTE)2 , in which two phenolic derivatives of 1,2-dithienylethene are axially coordinated to (5,10,15,20-tetratolylporphyrinato)tin(IV) in trans position, has been synthesized and fully characterized by various spectroscopic methods. We have also investigated the photoregulated fluorescence switching behavior of Sn(TTP)(DTE)2 . The fluorescence of the porphyrin macrocycle in Sn(TTP)(DTE) 2 greatly depends on the state of the 1,2-dithienyletene photochromic switch. In the open state (Sn(TTP)(o-DTE)2), the porphyrin exhibits high fluorescence intensity at 609 and 664 nm when excited at 410 nm. When the photocyclization reaction was carried out by irradiating Sn(TTP)(o-DTE)2 with the UV light (approximately 365 nm), the fluorescence intensity of the porphyrin macrocycle decreased. Back irradiation with visible light at wavelengths greater than 500 nm regenerated Sn(TTP)(o-DTE)2 and almost restored the original fluorescence spectrum. The fluorescence intensity of the porphyrin fluorophore is efficiently regulated by photochromic switching between Sn(TTP)(o-DTE)2 and Sn(TTP)(c-DTE)2 in several cycles, clearly demonstrating that the Sn(TTP)(DTE)2 can act as a system for reversible data processing using fluorescence as the detection method.     

Spectroscopic characterization of intramolecular charge transfer of sodium 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonate

In this paper, a new dual fluorescent N,N-dimethylaminonaphthalene derivative, sodium 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonate (SDMDNS), was reported. It was found that SDMDNS emits dual fluorescence only in highly polar solvent water but not in organic solvents such as methanol, dioxane and acetonitrile. Only a single broad band emission at ca. 420 nm was observed in the short wavelength region in organic solvents. The dual fluorescence of SDMDNS in water was found at 423 and 520 nm, respectively. Introduction of organic solvent as ethanol into aqueous solution of SDMDNS leads to blue shift of the long-wavelength emission, and this was evidently supported by introduction of cyclodextrin or surfactant in the aqueous solution. It indicates that a highly polar solvent was required to bring out dual fluorescence; furthermore, the short wavelength fluorescence is emitted from locally excited (LE) state and the long wavelength fluorescence is emitted from charge transfer (CT) state. The pH dependence of the dual fluorescence of SDMDNS demonstrates that the neutral form of the molecular has a higher ratio of CT band intensity to LE band. Temperature effect on the excited state of SDMDNS was also examined and gave stabilization enthalpy (-DeltaH ) of the CT reaction 8.7 kJ mol(-1).     

The light-induced reactions of tryptophan with halocompounds

The light-dependent reaction between N-acetyl-L-tryptophanamide (NATA) and chloroform has been examined using fluorescence, NMR and reverse phase chromatography. The emission of NATA in the presence of CHCl3 decreases at 360 nm and increases at longer wavelengths (approximately 480 nm) upon illumination with 280 nm light. The action spectrum for the formation of the 480 nm emitting product(s) has the same shape as the excitation spectra of the indole fluorophore in NATA. The pH of the solution decreases as the reaction proceeds. The reaction rate depends on the intensity of the illumination and is of the first order with respect to both [NATA] and [CHCl3]. NMR and reverse phase chromatography results demonstrate that multiple products are formed. The reaction products give new peaks between 8.9 and 10.5 ppm in the 1H-NMR that are assigned to -CHO groups, which are added to the indole ring. Some of the products react with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and thus confirm this assignment. A scheme is proposed in which the excited indole gives off a solvated electron to initiate a series of steps that yield indole derivatives in which a -CHO group has replaced a -H in the indole ring. Similar reactions are observed when 5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-fluorotryptophan or N-methylindolacetate is used instead of tryptophan or when the chloroform is replaced with other trichlorinated compounds, such as trichloroacetic acid, trichloroethanol and trichloroethane, as well as the tribrominated compound, bromoform, and the monoiodinated compound, iodoactetate.     

Photophysical properties of DASPMI as revealed by spectrally resolved fluorescence decays

Photophysical properties of 2-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-1-methylpyridinium iodide (DASPMI) in various solvents were investigated using time- and space-correlated single photon counting. DASPMI is known to selectively stain mitochondria in living cells.1,2 The uptake and fluorescence intensity of DASPMI in mitochondria is a dynamic measure of membrane potential. Hence, an endeavor has been made to elucidate the mechanism of DASPMI fluorescence by obtaining spectrally resolved fluorescence decays in different solvents. A biexponential decay model was sufficient to globally describe the wavelength-dependent fluorescence in ethanol and chloroform. While in glycerol, a three-exponential decay model was necessary for global analysis. In the polar low-viscous solvent water, a monoexponential decay model fitted the decay data. The sensitivity of DASPMI to solvent viscosity was analyzed using various proportions of glycerol-ethanol mixtures. The lifetimes were found to increase with increasing solvent viscosity. The negative amplitudes of the short lifetime component found in chloroform and glycerol at the longer wavelengths validated the formation of new excited-state species from the initially excited state. Time-resolved emission spectra in chloroform and glycerol showed a biphasic increase of spectral width and emission maxima. The spectral width had an initial fast increase within 150 ps and a near constant thereafter. A three-state model of generalized scheme, on the basis of successive formation of locally excited state (LE), intramolecular charge transfer state (ICT), and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state, has been proposed to explain the excited-state kinetics. The presumed role of solvation dynamics of ICT and TICT states leading to the asymmetrical broadening and structureless fluorescence has been substantiated by the decomposition of time-resolved emission spectra in chloroform, glycerol, and ethanol/glycerol mixtures.     

TD-DFT investigation of the UV spectra of pyranone derivatives

The UV absorption spectra of more than 80 substituted coumarins and chromones have been investigated with the PCM-TD-DFT theoretical scheme using three hybrid functionals (O3LYP, B3LYP, and PBE0) and taking into account methanol or ethanol solvation effects. For most of the studied derivatives, there are at least two allowed excited states presenting a strong oscillator strength in the UV region. The first allowed excitation is associated to a HOMO-LUMO transition whereas the second corresponds to a transition from the HOMO-1 to the LUMO. Both involve a charge transfer from the benzenic cycle to the pyranone moiety. Statistically treating the PBE0 results allows a prediction of the lambda(max) with small standard deviations: in methanol, 6 nm (0.07 eV) for the first excitation (lambda(max)(1)) and 5 nm (0.08 eV) for the second one (lambda(max)(2)), whereas in ethanol 6 nm (0.08 eV) for (lambda(max)(1)) and 6 nm (0.13 eV) for (lambda(max)(2)).     

Synthesis, crystal structure and characterization of photochromic 1,2-bis{2-ethyl-5-[2-(1,3-dioxolane)]-3-thienyl}perfluorocyclopentene

A novel photochromic diarylethene, 1,2-bis{2-ethyl-5-[2-(1,3-dioxolane)]-3-thienyl}perfluorocyclopentene (BEDTP), was synthesized and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Its photochromic and fluorescent properties were also investigated. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism, changing from colorless to magenta after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in the crystalline phase. In hexane solution, the open-ring isomer of BEDTP exhibited relatively strong fluorescence at 400 nm when excited at 282 nm. The fluorescence intensity decreased along with the photochromism upon irradiation with 254 nm light and its closed-ring isomer showed almost no fluorescence.     

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and its derivatives are efficient singlet oxygen quenchers and potential fungal antioxidants

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, 1) and its derivatives: pyridoxal (2), pyridoxal 5-phosphate (3) and pyridoxamine (4) are important natural compounds involved in numerous biological functions. Pyridoxine appears to play a role in the resistance of the filamentous fungus Cercospora nicotianae to its own abundantly produced strong photosensitizer of singlet molecular oxygen (1O2), cercosporin. We measured the rate constants (kq) for the quenching of 1O2 phosphorescence by 1-4 in D2O. The respective total (physical and chemical quenching) kq values are: 5.5 x 10(7) M-1 s-1 for 1; 7.5 x 10(7) M-1 s-1 for 2, 6.2 x 10(7) M-1 s-1 for 3 and 7.5 x 10(7) M-1 s-1 for 4, all measured at pD 6.2. The quenching efficacy increased up to five times in alkaline solutions and decreased approximately 10 times in ethanol. Significant contribution to total quenching by chemical reaction(s) is suggested by the degradation of all the vitamin derivatives by 1O2, which was observed as declining absorption of the pyridoxine moiety upon aerobic irradiation of RB used to photosensitize 1O2. This photodegradation was completely stopped by azide, a known physical quencher of 1O2. The pyridoxine moiety can also function as a redox quencher for excited cercosporin by forming the cercosporin radical anion, as observed by electron paramagnetic resonance. All B6 vitamers fluoresce upon UV excitation. Compounds 1 and 4 emit fluorescence at 400 nm, compound 2 at 450 nm and compound 3 at 550 nm. The fluorescence intensity of 3 increased approximately 10 times in organic solvents such as ethanol and 1,2-propanediol compared to aqueous solutions, suggesting that fluorescence may be used to image the distribution of 1-4 in Cercospora to understand better the interactions of pyridoxine and 1O2 in the living fungus.     

Red solid-state fluorescent aminoperfluorophenazines

The solid-state fluorescence of 2-amino-, 2-ethylamino, 2-diethylamino-, and 2,7-bis(diethylamino)perfluorophenazines was examined. They showed their fluorescence maxima in the range of 584-637 nm. The solid-state fluorescence quantum yield of 2-diethylamino derivative was highest among these derivatives, there being 0.22. X-ray crystallographic analysis suggests that the 2-diethylamino derivative has no strong intermolecular interactions among adjacent molecules to show intense fluorescence, whereas the other derivatives have network NH/F hydrogen, π-π, and CH/F interactions to reduce solid-state fluorescence intensity.

QUENCHING OF METHYLCYCLOHEXANE FLUORESCENCE BY METHANOL*

We measured the fluorescence emission spectrum and intensity decays of methylcyclohexane (MCH) when excited by simultaneous absorption of two photons at 298 nm. The steady-state intensities and lifetimes were both decreased by methanol, which was found to be an efficient quencher of MCH fluorescence. Methanol quenching of MCH is clearly dynamic, but the exact mechanism of quenching is unclear. Dynamic quenching of MCH was also observed by water and n-propanol. These results suggest that alkane fluorescence from biopolymers, if observable, will only occur from regions of the macromolecules that are not exposed to water.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and optoelectronic properties of a new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene, 1-(2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene (1a), was synthesized and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Its optical and electrochemical properties, including photochromic reactivity both in solution and in the solid state (PMMA film and the single-crystalline phase), fluorescence and electrochemical properties were investigated in detail. The compound showed excellent photochromism even in the single-crystalline phase by photo-irradiation. In acetonitrile, the open-ring isomer of diarylethene 1 exhibited relatively strong fluorescence at 470nm when excited at 300nm, and its emission intensity decreased along with the photochromism upon irradiation with 313nm light. Its closed-ring isomer showed almost no fluorescence. The electrochemical properties of diarylethene were investigated by performing cyclic voltammetry experiment and its HOMO and LUMO energy level were calculated.     

Spectrofluorimetric method for determination of aluminium with chromotropic acid and its application to water samples

A rapid and sensitive method for the trace level determination of aluminium based on the formation of a 1:1 complex with chromotropic acid (1,8-dihydroxynaphthlene-3,6-disulfonic acid) in an methanol medium is reported. The fluorescence intensity of the system was 50 times greater than that of the system without aluminium. This method is very sensitive and selective for the direct determination of aluminium ion. The fluorescence is excited at 346 nm and measured at 370 nm. The optimum conditions are a chromotropic acid concentration of 5.0 ml (1.0x10(-4) M) and pH 4.0+/-0.5 (acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer). The fluorescence intensity is a linear function of the concentration of Al(III) in the range 2-100 ng ml(-1) and the detection limit is 1.0 ng ml(-1). The method has been applied successfully to the determination of trace amount of Al(III) in tap, river and sea-water samples.

Influence of polarity of solvents on the spectral properties of bichromophoric coumarins

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of bichromophoric coumarins were investigated in different solvents and in polymer matrices. These bichromophoric coumarins were composed of a coumarin dimethylamino-substituted at position 7 or unsubstituted coumarin and phthalimide or a 1,8-naphthylimide linked with an iminomethyl bridge to the position 3 or 8 of the coumarin ring. Absorption spectra of 7-dimethylamino derivatives in position 3 of coumarin were quite similar, exhibiting broad bands around 430-440 nm like the parent compound 7-dimethylaminocoumarin-3-carbaldehyde. For coumarin derivatives substituted in position 8, the absorption maximum was shifted to shorter wavelength as for derivatives without position 7 dimethylamino substitution. The most intense fluorescence was observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin in polar solvent, while intense fluorescence was observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxobenz[de]isoquinolinyl)iminomethyl]-coumarin in non polar solvent (chloroform), comparable with the fluorescence of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. Spectral measurements of bichromophoric coumarins in polymer matrices revealed that the maxima lies in between those for chloroform and methanol yielding more intense fluorescence then in solutions. Completely different solvent effects were observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxobenz[de]isoquinolinyl)imino-methyl]coumarin and 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin. With addition of polar methanol the intensity of fluorescence decreases, yielding a Stern-Volmer-like constant of 0.54 dm3 mol?1 for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxo-benz[de]isoquinolinyl)iminomethyl]coumarin and an even higher one of 1.08 dm3·mol?1 for 7-dimethylaminocoumarin-3-carbaldehyde compared to the rather low one of 0.024 dm3 mol?1 for 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. Contrary to this, addition of methanol under identical conditions brings about an increase in fluorescence intensity of 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin (about 60-fold). The reasons for these different solvent effects are discussed.     

A new luminescent terbium 4-methylsalicylate complex as a novel sensor for detecting the purity of methanol

A new dinuclear terbium complex [Tb(2)(4-msal)(6)(H(2)O)(4)]·6H(2)O (1) (4-msal = 4-methylsalcylate) was synthesized. Its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and the complex was characterized by PXRD, FT-IR, fluorescence, TGA and DTA. Complex 1 exists as discrete molecules that are linked by extensive O-H … O hydrogen bonds into a 3D network. The luminescence lifetimes of 3 μM methanol solution and solid sample of 1 are 1.321 and 1.009 ms, respectively. The quantum yield of solid sample is 6.0%. The luminescence quenched more than 50% when 3% (vol/vol) different impurities (acetone, acetonitrile, chloroform, dichloromethane, dioxane, DMF, DMSO, ethanol, ether, ethyl acetate, glycol, H(2)O, hexane, TEA, THF and toluene or their mixture) were added. The inverse linear relationship between the Lg value of fluorescence intensity and the volume ratio of the minor component (to a maximum of 20%) is interpreted in terms of LgI = a-bX (I: luminescence intensity; X: volume ratio of impurities in methanol; a, b are constants). So 1 is a potential luminescent sensor for analyzing the purity of methanol.     

Effects of solvent on the electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of quinazolines,and determination of their ground and excited singlet-state dipole moments

The electronic absorption, and fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of 11 quinazolines have been measured at room temperature (298 K) in several solvents of different polarities (cyclohexane, dioxane, ethylether, chloroform, ethylacetate, 1-butanol, 2-propanol, ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide). The effects of the solvent upon the spectral properties are discussed. Experimental ground-state dipole moments were measured for quinazolines and were used in combination with the spectral results to evaluate their first excited singlet-state dipole moments by means of the solvatochromic shift method. The theoretical ground and excited singlet-state dipole moments for selected quinazolines were calculated as a vector sum of the π-component (obtained by the PPP method) and the σ-component (obtained from σ-bond moments). A reasonable agreement was observed between the experimental and the theoretical values. Excited singlet-state dipole moments are higher than the ground-state values for most quinazolines.
