Theoretical Investigation on Photophysical Properties of Triphenylamine and Coumarin Dyes.

ABSTRACT: Organic molecules with donor and acceptor configures are widely used in optoelectronic materials. Triphenylamine dyes (TPCTh and TPCRh) are investigated via density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT. Some microscopic parameters related to light absorption and photoelectric formation are calculated to interpret the experimental performance in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCS). Considering that coumarin derivatives (Dye 10 and Dye 11) have good donor and acceptor structures, they also have a COOH group used as an anchoring group to connect with semiconductors. Thus, the two dyes' photophysical and photoelectric properties are analyzed to estimate the performance and application in DSSCs.

Carbazole- and Triphenylamine-Substituted Pyrimidines: Synthesis and Photophysical Properties.

Project description:A series of pyrimidine derivatives bearing one, two or three triphenylamine/9-ethylcarbazole substituents has been synthesized by Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. All compounds showed absorption bands in the UV region and the emission of violet-blue light upon irradiation. Protonation led to quenching of the fluorescence, although some derivatives remained luminescent with the appearance of a new red-shifted band in the spectra. Accurate control of the amount of acid enabled white photoluminescence to be obtained both in solution and in solid state.

New 3-Ethynylaryl Coumarin-Based Dyes for DSSC Applications: Synthesis, Spectroscopic Properties, and Theoretical Calculations.

Project description:A set of 3-ethynylaryl coumarin dyes with mono, bithiophenes and the fused variant, thieno [3,2-b] thiophene, as well as an alkylated benzotriazole unit were prepared and tested for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). For comparison purposes, the variation of the substitution pattern at the coumarin unit was analyzed with the natural product 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin (Esculetin) as well as 5,7-dihydroxycomarin in the case of the bithiophene dye. Crucial steps for extension of the conjugated system involved Sonogashira reaction yielding highly fluorescent molecules. Spectroscopic characterization showed that the extension of conjugation via the alkynyl bridge resulted in a strong red-shift of absorption and emission spectra (in solution) of approximately 73-79 nm and 52-89 nm, respectively, relative to 6,7-dimethoxy-4-methylcoumarin (λabs = 341 nm and λem = 410 nm). Theoretical density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) is mostly centered in the cyanoacrylic anchor unit, corroborating the high intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character of the electronic transition. Photovoltaic performance evaluation reveals that the thieno [3,2-b] thiophene unit present in dye 8 leads to the best sensitizer of the set, with a conversion efficiency (η = 2.00%), best VOC (367 mV) and second best Jsc (9.28 mA·cm-2), surpassed only by dye 9b (Jsc = 10.19 mA·cm-2). This high photocurrent value can be attributed to increased donor ability of the 5,7-dimethoxy unit when compared to the 6,7 equivalent (9b).

Chalcogen Effects in the Photophysical Properties of Dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide Dyes Revealed by DFT Investigation.

Project description:Thionation of carbonyl groups of known dyes is a rapidly emerging strategy to propose an advance toward heavy-atom-free photosensitizers to be used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The sulfur-for-oxygen replacement has recently proved to enhance the singlet oxygen quantum yield of some existing fluorophores and to shift the absorption band at longer wavelengths. Drawing inspiration from this challenging evidence, the effect of both sulfur- and selenium-for-oxygen replacement in the skeleton of the oxo-4-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide molecule (DMN) has been analyzed by means of a DFT study. The thio- and seleno-derivatives (SDMN and SeDMN, respectively) have been shown to offer the possibility to access a multitude of ISC (intersystem crossing) pathways involved in the triplet deactivation mechanisms with a consequent enhancement of the singlet oxygen production, also arising from the change of orbital type involved in the radiationless 1nπ* → 3ππ* transitions. Moreover, the change in nature from a 1ππ* to a 1nπ* observed in the SeDMN has been revealed to be crucial to reach more clinically useful regions of the spectrum suggesting that the selenium-for-oxygen replacement can be proposed as a strategy to achieve more suitable PDT agents while proposing an advance toward heavy-atom-free PSs.

Green Perylene Bisimide Dyes: Synthesis, Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties.

Project description:Three asymmetric amino-substituted perylene bisimide dyes with different n-alkyl chain lengths (n = 6, 12, or 18), 1-(N,N-dialkylamino)perylene bisimides (1a-1c), were synthesized under mild condition in high yields and were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), HRMS (High Resolution Mass Spectrometer), UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra, as well as cyclic voltammetry (CV). These molecules show intense green color in both solution and solid state and are highly soluble in dichloromethane and even in nonpolar solvents, such as hexane. The shapes of the absorption spectra of 1a-1c in solid state and in solution were found to be virtually the same, indicating that the long alkyl chains could efficiently prevent aggregation. They exhibit a unique charge transfer emission in the near-infrared region, of which the peak wavelengths show strong solvatochromism. The dipole moments of the compounds have been estimated using the Lippert-Mataga equation, and upon excitation, they show larger dipole moment changes than that of 1-aminoperylene bisimide (2). Furthermore, all of the compounds exhibit two quasi-reversible one-electron oxidations and two quasi-reversible one-electron reductions in dichloromethane at modest potentials. Complementary density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed on these dyes are reported in order to rationalize their molecular structures and electronic properties.

Azadioxatriangulenium: Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of Reactive Dyes for Bioconjugation.

Project description:Azadioxatriangulenium (ADOTA) is a fluorescent triangulenium dye with a long fluorescence lifetime, highly polarized transitions and emission in the red part of the visible spectrum. These properties make the chromophore suited for application in fluorescence polarization/anisotropy assay. To be useful for these applications, reactive forms of the dyes must be available in significant quantities. Here, the synthesis and photophysical properties of amine-reactive NHS esters and a thiol-reactive maleimide derivate of ADOTA are reported. The synthesis involves two steps of nucleophilic bridge forming reactions starting from tris(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl) methylium tetrafluoroborate, which can readily be made on 100 gram scale. In the third and final step the reactive NHS or maleimide groups are formed. The beneficial photophysical properties of the ADOTA chromophore are maintained in these derivatives, and we conclude that these systems are ideal to study protein motion and protein-protein interactions for systems of up towards 1000 kDa.

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of Fluorescent 6-Aryl-D-π-A Coumarin Derivatives.

Project description:A series of 6-aryl coumarin dyes were synthesized in satisfactory yields by Pd-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with a panel of boronic acids and coumarin bromides. Photophysical studies highlighted a large Stoke shift and interesting fluorescence quantum yield for these compounds. Optical properties were also investigated with the aid of quantum chemical calculations. The treatment of selected coumarin dyes with increasing amounts of trifluoroacetic acid showed that their fluorescence can be strongly influenced by pH (fluorescence quenching at high acid concentrations), while the addition of Fe3+ and Al3+ metal ions allowed to highlight dichotomous behavior with the corresponding reduction in fluorescence with the increase of [Fe3+] or [Al3+]. Finally, biological assays and fluorescence microscopy imaging investigations indicated that these compounds can be used as potential biomarkers in living and fixed cells.

Benz[c,d]indolium-containing Monomethine Cyanine Dyes: Synthesis and Photophysical Properties.

Project description:Asymmetric monomethine cyanines have been extensively used as probes for nucleic acids among other biological systems. Herein we report the synthesis of seven monomethine cyanine dyes that have been successfully prepared with various heterocyclic moieties such as quinoline, benzoxazole, benzothiazole, dimethyl indole, and benz[e]indole adjoining benz[c,d]indol-1-ium, which was found to directly influence their optical and energy profiles. In this study the optical properties vs. structural changes were investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance and computational approaches. The twisted conformation unique to monomethine cyanines was exploited in DNA binding studies where the newly designed sensor displayed an increase in fluorescence when bound in the DNA grooves compared to the unbound form.

Photophysical and Electroluminescence Characteristics of Polyfluorene Derivatives with Triphenylamine.

Project description:In this work, polymers of poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-co-triphenylamine] with side chains containing: pyrene (C1), diphenyl (C2), naphthalene (C3), and isopropyl (C6) structures were synthesized via a Suzuki coupling reaction. The structures were verified using NMR and cyclic voltammetry measurements provide the HOMO and LUMO of the polymers. The polymer with pyrene (C1) and naphthalene (C3) produced photoluminescence in the green while the polymer with the side chain containing diphenyl (C2) and isopropyl (C6) produce dual emission peaks of blue-green photoluminescence (PL). In order to examine the electroluminescence properties of the polymers, the solutions were spin-coated onto patterned ITO anode, dried, and subsequently coated with an Al cathode layer to form pristine single layer polymer LEDs. The results are compared to a standard PFO sample. The electroluminescence spectra resemble the PL spectra for C1 and C3. The devices of C2, C3, and C6 exhibit voltage-dependent EL. An additional red emission peak was detected for C2 and C6, resulting in spectra with peaks at 435 nm, 490 nm, and 625 nm. The effects of the side chains on the spectral characteristics of the polymer are discussed.

Coumarin-Tagged Dinuclear Trithiolato-Bridged Ruthenium(II)⋅Arene Complexes: Photophysical Properties and Antiparasitic Activity.

Project description:The synthesis, characterization, photophysical and biological properties of 13 new conjugate coumarin-diruthenium(II)⋅arene complexes against Toxoplasma gondii are presented. For all conjugate organometallic unit/coumarins, an almost complete loss of fluorescence efficacy was observed. However, the nature of the fluorophore, the type of bonding, the presence and length of a linker between the coumarin dye and the ruthenium(II) moiety, and the number of dye units influenced their biological properties. The in vitro activity against a transgenic T. gondii strain grown in human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) leads to IC50 values for T. gondii β-gal from 105 to 735 nM. Of note is that nine compounds displayed lower IC50 than the standard drug pyrimethamine. One compound applied at its IC50 did not affect B-cell proliferation but had an impact on T-cell proliferation in murine splenocyte cultures. Transmission electron microscopy of T. gondii β-gal-infected HFF showed that treatment predominantly affected the parasites' mitochondrion.

Cyclopentene ring effects in cyanine dyes: a handle to fine-tune photophysical properties.

Project description:The aim of this study is to investigate the photophysical properties of a cyanine dye analogue by performing first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent-DFT. Cationic cyanine dyes are the subject of great importance due to their versatile applications and the tunability of their photophysical properties, such as by modifying their end groups and chain length. An example of this is the vinylene shift, which is experimentally known for these molecules, and it consists of a bathochromic (red) shift of approximately 100 nm of the 0-0 vibronic transition when a vinyl group is added to the polymethine chain. Our study shows that when the saturated moiety C2H4 of the cyclopentene ring is added to the chain, it interacts with the conjugated π-system, resulting in a smaller HOMO-LUMO gap. Here, we demonstrate the origin of this interaction and how it can be used to fine tune the absorption energies of this class of dyes.
