Access to functionalization of new sites on the triangulenium core structure has been achieved at an early stage by chlorination with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS), giving rise to two new triangulenium dyes (1 and 2). By introducing the chlorine functionalities in the acridinium precursor, positions complementary to those previously accessed by electrophilic aromatic substitution of the final dyes can be accesed. The chlorination is selective, giving only one regioisomer for both mono- and dichlorination products. For the monochlorinated acridinium compound a highly selective ring-closing reaction was discovered to generate only a single regioisomer of the cationic [4]helicene product. This discovery aspired further investigations into the mechanism of [4]helicene formation and to the first isolation of the previously proposed intermediate of the two-step SNAr reaction, key to all aza-bridged triangulenium and helicenium systems. A late stage functionalization of DAOTA+ with NCS gave rise to a different dichlorinated compound (2). The fully ring closed chlorinated triangulenium dyes 1, 2 and 3 show a redshift in absorption and emission relative to the non-chlorinated analogues, while still maintaining relatively high fluorescence quantum yields of 36%, 26%, and 41%, and long fluorescence lifetimes of 15 ns, 12.5 ns and 16 ns, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry shows that chlorination of the triangulenium dyes significantly lowers reduction potentials and thus allows for efficient tuning of redox and photo-redox properties.

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).

Series of 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrins 1 and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(arylethynyl)phenyl]porphyrins 2 were prepared via condensation of pyrrole with the appropriate benzaldehyde or 4-(arylethynyl)benzaldehyde derivative (3). Condensation of meso-phenyldipyrromethane with mixtures of benzaldehyde and 4-(trimethylsilyl-ethynyl)benzaldehyde gave a separable mixture of mono- (6), bis- (both cis-7 and trans-8) and tris[4-(trimethylsilylethynyl)phenyl]porphyrin (9). Following removal of the trimethylsilyl groups of 6–9, the 4-ethynylphenyl groups of 11–14 were coupled to 1-iodo-3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)benzene with Pd ( OAc )2 to give 15–18 bearing one, two (both cis- and trans-) and three 4-[bis-3,5-(trifluoromethyl)phenylethynyl]phenyl groups respectively. Coupling of 11 and 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene with Pd ( OAc )2 gave porphyrin 19 with one 4-(4-nitrophenylethynyl)phenyl group. Porphyrin 24 with a p-quinone linked to the porphyrin core via a phenylethynyl group was prepared via similar chemistry. The absorbance spectra, emission maxima, excited-state fluorescence lifetimes, quantum yields of fluorescence, rates of fluorescence and rates of non-radiative decay were measured for each of the porphyrins. Absorbance spectra and emission maxima were nearly identical for all the porphyrins of this study, which suggests that the aryl groups and 4-(arylethynyl)phenyl groups are not strongly coupled to the porphyrin core in these metal-free compounds. Fluorescence quantum yields and rates of radiative decay were larger for porphyrins bearing 4-(arylethynyl)phenyl groups, while excited-state fluorescence lifetimes were somewhat shorter. These effects were additive for each additional 4-(arylethynyl)phenyl group.

The first observation of direct room temperature delayed fluorescence from non-peripherally substituted phthalocyanines is reported. The quantum yields of delayed fluorescence and delayed fluorescence lifetimes were determined and are discussed. The normal fluorescence quantum yields and photodegradative quantum yields of these compounds were also determined.

Two symmetrical TPA chromophores containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole group were designed and synthesized through the Wittig–Horner reaction. All compounds were characterized by NMR, IR, UV and melting point. Chromophore I and II showed good thermal stability and did lose less than 5% weight on heating to about 300°C. The electrochemical property was explored by cyclic voltammetry. The HOMO and LUMO energy of compound I were estimated to be -3.65 eV and -1.09 eV. That of compound II were -3.69 eV and -1.10 eV. Both chromophores exhibited a positive solvatochromic behavior. In CH2Cl2 , the maximum peaks of single-photon-excited fluorescence (SPEF) were at 512 nm for compound I and at 495 nm for compound II with high fluorescence quantum yields 0.73 and 0.70, respectively. The two-photon-excited fluorescence (TPEF) had also been investigated. Pumped by femtosecond laser at 800 nm, strong up-conversion emissions with the central wavelength were at 532 nm for compound I and 550 nm for compound II in the solution of CH2Cl2 .

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.

ABSTRACTThere is an urgent need for point-of-care tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic methods that are fast, inexpensive, and operationally simple. Here, we report on a bright solvatochromic dye trehalose conjugate that specifically detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in minutes. 3-hydroxychromone (3HC) dyes, known to yield high fluorescence quantum yields, exhibit shifts in fluorescence intensity in response to changes in environmental polarity. We synthesized two analogs of 3HC-trehalose conjugates (3HC-2-Tre and 3HC-3-Tre) and determined that 3HC-3-Tre has exceptionally favorable properties for Mtb detection. 3HC-3-Tre-labeled mycobacterial cells displayed a 10-fold increase in fluorescence intensity compared to our previously reports on the dye 4,4-N,N-dimethylaminonapthalimide (DMN-Tre). Excitingly, we detected fluorescent Mtb cells within 10 minutes of probe treatment. Thus, 3HC-3-Tre permits rapid visualization of mycobacteria that ultimately could empower improved Mtb detection at the point-of-care in low-resource settings.
