The synthesis, characterisation, photophysical and thermal properties of 2(3),9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetrakis(7-coumarinoxy-4-methyl)-phthalocyaninatozinc(ii) (ZnPc-Coumarin) and 2(3),9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetrakis(7-coumarinoxy-4-methyl)-phthalocyaninatocobalt(ii) (CoPc-Coumarin) are reported. The ground state absorbance of ZnPc-Coumarin shows molar extinction coefficients as high as 1.80 × 105 dm3 mol–1 cm–1. The fluorescence spectrum and fluorescence quantum yields of compounds ZnPc-Coumarin and CoPc-Coumarin are also investigated. The photoluminescence decay of the two transition-metal complexes in DMF solution, in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and on TiO2 films has been studied with time-resolved emission. This study shows that the electron transfer from the dye to TiO2 is through space. The thermal stability studies indicate that both of the two complexes are stable up to 390°C. The ZnPc-Coumarin achieved a higher overall conversion efficiency than the reported SnPcCl2-Coumarin, InPcCl-Coumarin, and RuPcCl-Coumarin because of its slower charge recombination rate and faster electron injection from the dye to the conduction band of the conducting glass.

Pentaerythritol tetrakis 3-mercaptopropionate (PTMP) grafted poly(acryl acid) (PAA) ionic hydrophilic oligomer PAA-PTMP (PP) and dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) grafted methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) nonionic hydrophilic oligomer mPEG-DHLA (PD) have been designed, synthesized and used as co-capping ligands in water-solubilization of hydrophobic quantum dots (QDs) via ligand exchange. The obtained oligomers with multi-thiol groups could bind strongly to the surface atoms of QDs. Meanwhile, the carboxyl groups (from PP) and mPEG segment (from PD) can render QDs water-soluble, and the free carboxylic groups can possibly be used for the further bioconjugation. The resulting water-soluble QDs have been characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques. The water-soluble QDs have relatively small hydrodynamic size (10[Formula: see text]12 nm), and importantly, retain high fluorescence quantum yields (up to 45%) compared with that of the originally hydrophobic QDs (49%). In addition, they have tunable surface charges and show excellent colloidal stability over a relatively broad pH range ([Formula: see text]), in high salt concentration, and even after thermal treatment at 100[Formula: see text]C. These results indicate that the water-soluble QDs coated by PP and PD oligomers have potential applications in cellular imaging and biosensor.

AbstractA rapid access to a series of N-heteroarene fluorophores has been developed on the basis of the palladium-catalyzed direct oxidative C–H/C–H coupling of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with thiophenes/furans. The photophysical properties–structure relationship was systematically investigated. The resulting N-heteroarene fluorophores present color-tunable emissions (λem: 431–507 nm in CH2Cl2) and high fluorescence quantum yields (up to 91% in CH2Cl2).
