Abstract: | The synthesis and solvatochromic behavior of the compound, 7-oxy(5-selenocyanato-pentyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (PCM), a pervasive, bioactive coumarin derivative, which is expected to possess antioxidative properties and other important therapeutic activities of significant potency with low systematic toxicity, have been reported employing steady state and time resolved fluorescence techniques. Spectroscopic studies reveal that the solvatochromic behavior of the probe depends not only on the polarity of the medium but also on the hydrogen bonding properties of the solvents. Specific hydrogen bonding interaction of PCM in polar solvents modulated the order of the two close-lying lowest singlet states. The photophysical response of PCM in different solvents has been explained considering solute-solvent interactions. To corroborate these results, we performed the ground-state geometry, lowest energy transition and the UV–vis spectrum of PCM using the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD–DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G? level. We found excellent correlation between the predicted and experimental spectral data, providing a useful tool in the design of new fluorogenic probes having potential therapeutic activity. |
