Selective formation of twisted intramolecular charge transfer and excimer emissions on 2,7-bis(4-diethylaminophenyl)-fluorenone by choice of solvent.

ABSTRACT: We designed and synthesized a donor-acceptor-donor dye consisting of a 2,7-disubstituted fluorenone with diethylaminophenyl moieties present as strong electron donating groups. Switching between twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) emission and excimer emission was achieved, with no ground state changes, by simply changing the solvent used. In a nonpolar solvent, excimer emission was observed; with increasing polarity, the emission gradually disappeared, and the TICT emission appeared.

Carborane-Induced Excimer Emission of Severely Twisted Bis-o-Carboranyl Chrysene.

Project description:The synthesis of a highly twisted chrysene derivative incorporating two electron deficient o-carboranyl groups is reported. The molecule exhibits a complex, excitation-dependent photoluminescence, including aggregation-induced emission (AIE) with good quantum efficiency and an exceptionally long singlet excited state lifetime. Through a combination of detailed optical studies and theoretical calculations, the excited state species are identified, including an unusual excimer induced by the presence of o-carborane. This is the first time that o-carborane has been shown to induce excimer formation ab initio, as well as the first observation of excimer emission by a chrysene-based small molecule in solution. Bis-o-carboranyl chrysene is thus an initial member of a new family of o-carboranyl phenacenes exhibiting a novel architecture for highly-efficient multi-luminescent fluorophores.

Twisted intramolecular charge transfer of nitroaromatic push-pull chromophores.

Project description:The structural changes during the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) of nitroaromatic chromophores, 4-dimethylamino-4'-nitrobiphenyl (DNBP) and 4-dimethylamino-4'-nitrostilbene (DNS) were investigated by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) with both high spectral and temporal resolutions. The kinetically resolved Raman spectra of DNBP and DNS in the locally-excited and charge-transferred states of the S1 state appear distinct, especially in the skeletal vibrational modes of biphenyl and stilbene including ν8a and νC=C. The ν8a of two phenyls and the νC=C of the central ethylene group (only for stilbene), which are strongly coupled in the planar geometries, are broken with the twist of nitrophenyl group with the ICT. Time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy measurements and the time-dependent density functional theory simulations support the ultrafast ICT dynamics of 220-480 fs with the twist of nitrophenyl group occurring in the S1 state of the nitroaromatic chromophores. While the ICT of DNBP occurs via a barrier-less pathway, the ICT coordinates of DNS are strongly coupled to several low-frequency out-of-phase deformation modes relevant to the twist of the nitrophenyl group.

Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer State of a "Push-Pull" Emitter.

Project description:The excited state Raman spectra of 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) in the locally-excited (LE) and the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states have been separately measured by time-resolved stimulated Raman spectroscopy. In a polar dimethylsulfoxide solution, the ultrafast ICT of DCM with a time constant of 1.0 ps was observed in addition to the vibrational relaxation in the ICT state of 4-7 ps. On the other hand, the energy of the ICT state of DCM becomes higher than that of the LE state in a less polar chloroform solution, where the initially-photoexcited ICT state with the LE state shows the ultrafast internal conversion to the LE state with a time constant of 300 fs. The excited-state Raman spectra of the LE and ICT state of DCM showed several major vibrational modes of DCM in the LE and ICT conformer states coexisting in the excited state. Comparing to the time-dependent density functional theory simulations and the experimental results of similar push-pull type molecules, a twisted geometry of the dimethylamino group is suggested for the structure of DCM in the S1/ICT state.

Boosting Circularly Polarized Luminescence of Organic Conjugated Systems via Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer.

Project description:Realizing a high luminescence dissymmetry factor (g lum) is a paramount yet challenging issue in the research field of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Here, we reported a novel set of organic conjugated systems with twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) characteristics based on conjugated o-carborane-binaphthyl dyads composing of binaphthyl units as chiral electron donors and o-carborane units as achiral electron acceptors, demonstrating intense CPL with large g lum values. Interestingly, single-crystalline o-1 exhibited a high-level brightness and a large g lum factor as high as +0.13, whereas single-crystalline o-2 processed a relatively low brightness with a decreased g lum value to -0.04. The significant diversity of CPL-active properties was triggered by the selective introduction of o-carborane units onto the binaphthyl units. Benefiting from the large magnetic dipole transition moments in TICT states, the CPL activity of TICT o-carborane-based materials exhibited amplified circular polarization. This study provides an efficient molecular engineering strategy for the rational design and development of highly efficient CPL-active materials.

Emissions and the application of a series of twisted fluorophores with intramolecular weak hydrogen bonds.

Project description:A series of twisted fluorophores of CEOCH (((2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene)bis(ethene-2,1,1-triyl))-tetra-benzene) derivatives with intramolecular weak hydrogen bonds (IMWHBs) were synthesized to investigate how different substituents on outer benzenes influence their emissive properties. Because of the twisted structure and weak intermolecular interactions, the emissions of the CEOCH derivatives were intense in the aggregated state but as the flexibility and electronic effect of the substituents changed, their quantum yields (QYs) changed from over 40% to 1% in solution. Based on the adjustable QYs of CEOCHs with different substituents in solutions, a fluorescent sensor for hydrazine with an extremely strong light and dark contrast was obtained via the conversion of dicyanovinyl groups to hydrazone groups.

Ultrafast Excimer Formation and Solvent Controlled Symmetry Breaking Charge Separation in the Excitonically Coupled Subphthalocyanine Dimer.

Project description:Knowledge of the factors controlling excited state dynamics in excitonically coupled dimers and higher aggregates is critical for understanding natural and artificial solar energy conversion. In this work, we report ultrafast solvent polarity dependent excited state dynamics of the structurally well-defined subphthalocyanine dimer, μ-OSubPc2 . Stationary electronic spectra demonstrate strong exciton coupling in μ-OSubPc2 . Femtosecond transient absorption measurements reveal ultrafast excimer formation from the initially excited exciton, mediated by intramolecular structural evolution. In polar solvents the excimer state decays directly through symmetry breaking charge transfer to form a charge separated state. Charge separation occurs under control of solvent orientational relaxation.

Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer (TICT) Controlled by Dimerization: An Overlooked Piece of the TICT Puzzle.

Project description:Organic dyes have shown high efficiencies in solar cells, which is mainly attributed to the push-pull strategy present in such dyes upon attaching to the semiconductor surfaces. We deeply studied the fundamental photophysical properties of cyanoacrylic dyes, mostly the L1 dye, and found unique emission properties that depend on many factors such as the solvent polarity and the concentration of the dye and could present a complete emission picture about this family of dyes. The L1 dye shows an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) emission state at low concentrations (approximately nanomolar scale) and shows a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) emission state in specific solvents upon increasing the concentration to the micromolar scale. Moreover, the associated emission lifetimes of the ICT and TICT states of the L1 dye depend on solvent basicity, highlighting the role of hydrogen bond formation on controlling such states. Density functional theory calculations are performed to gain insight into the photophysical properties of the dye and revealed that H-bonding between the carboxylic groups triggers the dimerization at low concentrations. Using femtosecond transient absorption, we assigned the rate of TICT formation to be in the range (160-650 fs)-1, depending on the size of the studied cyanoacrylic dye. Therefore, we add herein a new dimension for controlling the formation of the TICT state, in addition to the solvent polarity and acceptor strength parameters. These findings are not limited to the studied dyes, and we expect that numerous organic carboxylic acids dyes show similar properties.

Monitoring amyloid aggregation <i>via</i> a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT)-based fluorescent sensor array.

Project description:Imaging amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation is critical for understanding the pathology and aiding the pre-symptomatic intervention of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Amyloid aggregation consists of multiple phases with increasing viscosities and demands probes with broad dynamic ranges and gradient sensitivities for continuous monitoring. Yet, existing probes designed based on the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) mechanism mainly focused on donor engineering, limiting the sensitivities and/or dynamic ranges of these fluorophores to a narrow window. Herein, using quantum chemical calculations, we investigated multiple factors affecting the TICT process of fluorophores. It includes the conjugation length, the net charge of the fluorophore scaffold, the donor strength, and the geometric pre-twisting. We have established an integrative framework for tuning TICT tendencies. Based on this framework, a platter of hemicyanines with varied sensitivities and dynamic ranges is synthesized, forming a sensor array and enabling the observation of various stages of Aβ aggregations. This approach will significantly facilitate the development of TICT-based fluorescent probes with tailored environmental sensitivities for numerous applications.

Direct observation and control of ultrafast photoinduced twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) in triphenyl-methane dyes.

Project description:Femtosecond time-resolved infrared spectroscopy was employed to study intramolecular charge transfer in triphenylmethane dyes, including malachite green (MG), malachite green carbinol base (MGCB), and leucomalachite green (LMG). A local excited state (LE) and a twisted intramolecular charge-transfer (TICT) state have been observed directly in MG. Furthermore, solvent-controlled TICT measurements in a series of linear alcohols indicate that the transition time (4-11 ps) from LE to TICT is strongly dependent on alcohol viscosity, which is due to rotational hindrance of dimethylaniline in high-viscosity solvents. For LMG, no TICT is observed due to steric hindrance caused by the sp(3)-hybridized central carbon atom. However, for MGCB, TICT is rescued by the addition of the electron-donating hydroxyl group to the bridge. These results for MG and its analogues provide new insight regarding the dynamics and mechanism of twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) in triphenylmethane dyes.

Photophysical Properties of an Azine-Linked Pyrene-Cinnamaldehyde Hybrid: Evidence of Solvent-Dependent Charge-Transfer-Coupled Excimer Emission.

Project description:We report the photophysical properties of a synthetic asymmetric azine-based compound (17Z,18E)-4'-((E)-3-phenylallylidene)-1'-(dimethylamino)-1-((pyren-8-yl)methylene)hydrazine (PYNC). The molecule PYNC shows an appreciable red shift in the emission maximum in a wide range of solvents. In water, PYNC shows the characteristic feature of excimer formation exclusively. However, in all other solvents, the excimer band is present alongside the charge transfer emission band. The assignment of charge transfer and excimer bands has been established by various steady-state emission spectral data. PYNC, owing to this novel excimer-coupled charge transfer phenomenon, can be a potential probe for studying various supramolecular assemblies of biological interest.
