Predicting the photoinduced electron transfer thermodynamics in polyfluorinated 1,3,5-triarylpyrazolines based on multiple linear free energy relationships.

ABSTRACT: The photophysical properties of 1,3,5-triarylpyrazolines are strongly influenced by the nature and position of substituents attached to the aryl-rings, rendering this fluorophore platform well suited for the design of fluorescent probes utilizing a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) switching mechanism. To explore the tunability of two key parameters that govern the PET thermodynamics, the excited state energy DeltaE(00) and the acceptor potential E(A/A(-)), a library of polyfluoro-substituted 1,3-diaryl-5-phenyl-pyrazolines was synthesized and characterized. The observed trends for the PET parameters were effectively captured through multiple Hammett linear free energy relationships (LFER) using a set of independent substituent constants for each of the two aryl rings. Given the lack of experimental Hammett constants for polyfluoro-substituted aromatics, theoretically derived constants based on the electrostatic potential at the nucleus (EPN) of carbon atoms were employed as quantum chemical descriptors. The performance of the LFER was evaluated with a set of compounds that were not included in the training set, yielding a mean unsigned error of 0.05 eV for the prediction of the combined PET parameters. The outlined LFER approach should be well suited for designing and optimizing the performance of cation-responsive 1,3,5-triarylpyrazolines.

Project description:We report on the discovery and detailed exploration of the unconventional photo-switching mechanism in metallofullerenes, in which the energy of the photon absorbed by the carbon cage π-system is transformed to mechanical motion of the endohedral cluster accompanied by accumulation of spin density on the metal atoms. Comprehensive photophysical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies augmented by theoretical modelling are performed to address the phenomenon of the light-induced photo-switching and triplet state spin dynamics in a series of Y x Sc3-x N@C80 (x = 0-3) nitride clusterfullerenes. Variable temperature and time-resolved photoluminescence studies revealed a strong dependence of their photophysical properties on the number of Sc atoms in the cluster. All molecules in the series exhibit temperature-dependent luminescence assigned to the near-infrared thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and phosphorescence. The emission wavelengths and Stokes shift increase systematically with the number of Sc atoms in the endohedral cluster, whereas the triplet state lifetime and S1-T1 gap decrease in this row. For Sc3N@C80, we also applied photoelectron spectroscopy to obtain the triplet state energy as well as the electron affinity. Spin distribution and dynamics in the triplet states are then studied by light-induced pulsed EPR and ENDOR spectroscopies. The spin-lattice relaxation times and triplet state lifetimes are determined from the temporal evolution of the electron spin echo after the laser pulse. Well resolved ENDOR spectra of triplets with a rich structure caused by the hyperfine and quadrupolar interactions with 14N, 45Sc, and 89Y nuclear spins are obtained. The systematic increase of the metal contribution to the triplet spin density from Y3N to Sc3N found in the ENDOR study points to a substantial fullerene-to-metal charge transfer in the excited state. These experimental results are rationalized with the help of ground-state and time-dependent DFT calculations, which revealed a substantial variation of the endohedral cluster position in the photoexcited states driven by the predisposition of Sc atoms to maximize their spin population.
