Regulation of Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer Process and Photophysical Properties for Benzoxazole Isothiocyanate Fluorescent Dyes by Changing Atomic Electronegativity

激发态分子内质子转移因其独特的光学性质而受到研究人员的青睐.然而,关于改变原子电负性对激发态分子内质子转移过程和光物理性质影响的系统研究相对较少.本文通过理论方法选择了一系列苯并噁唑异硫氰酸酯荧光染料(2-HOB、2-HSB和2-HSeB),并通过改变氧族原子的电负性,系统地研究了激发态分子内质子转移过程和光物理性质.计算的键角、键长、能隙和红外光谱分析表明,3个分子的分子内氢键强度依次为2-HOB<2-HSB<2-HSeB.相应地,势能曲线的能垒大小为2-HOB>2-HSB>2-HSeB.此外,计算的电子光谱表明,随着原子电负性的降低,发射光谱发生红移.本工作将为基于激发态分子内质子转移性质的新型染料的合成和应用提供一定的理论指导.

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer(ESIPT)is favored by researchers because of its unique optical properties.However,there are relatively few systematic studies on the effects of changing the electronegativity of atoms on the ESIPT process and photophysical properties.Therefore,we selected a series of benzoxazole isothiocyanate fluorescent dyes(2-HOB,2-HSB,and 2-HSe B)by theoretical methods,and systematically studied the ESIPT process and photophysical properties by changing the electronegativity of chalcogen atoms.The calculated bond angle,bond length,energy gap,and infrared spectrum analysis show that the order of the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the three molecules is 2-HOB<2-HSB<2-HSe B.Correspondingly,the magnitude of the energy barrier of the potential energy curve is 2-HOB>2-HSB>2-HSe B.In addition,the calculated electronic spectrum shows that as the atomic electronegativity decreases,the emission spectrum has a redshift.Therefore,this work will offer certain theoretical guidance for the synthesis and application of new dyes based on ESIPT properties.
