Tetrazines with branched alkoxy substituents are liquids at ambient temperature that despite the high chromophore density retain the bright orange fluorescence that is characteristic of this exceptional fluorophore. Here, we study the photophysical properties of a series of alkoxy-tetrazines in solution and as neat liquids. We also correlate the size of the alkoxy substituents with the viscosity of the liquids. We show using time-resolved spectroscopy that intersystem crossing is an important decay pathway competing with fluorescence, and that its rate is higher for 3,6-dialkoxy derivatives than for 3-chloro-6-alkoxytetrazines, explaining the higher fluorescence quantum yields for the latter. Quantum chemical calculations suggest that the difference in rate is due to the activation energy required to distort the tetrazine core such that the nπ*S1 and the higher-lying ππ*T2 states cross, at which point the spin-orbit coupling exceeding 10 cm−1 allows for efficient intersystem crossing to occur. Femtosecond time-resolved anisotropy studies in solution allow us to measure a positive relationship between the alkoxy chain lengths and their rotational correlation times, and studies in the neat liquids show a fast decay of the anisotropy consistent with fast exciton migration in the neat liquid films.

A series of mono-hydroxyl corrole bearing a fluorine (1), chlorine (2), bromine (3) and iodine (4) atom on its 10-phenyl group have been synthesized. Fluorescence spectroscopy shows that the halogen atom at meso-phenyl group of corroles exhibit significant heavy-atom effect on their photophysical properties. Fluorescence quantum yields and the lifetime of these corroles decrease with the increasing of the atomic weight of halogen atoms. The quenching of the fluorescence could be interpreted in terms of a heavy atom-induced increase in intersystem crossing from S1 to T1. The intersystem crossing rate constant of these corroles were also determined by transient fluorescence spectra.

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).

New indeno[1,2-c]pyran-3-ones bearing different substituents at the pyran moiety were synthesized and their photophysical properties were investigated. In solution all compounds were found to be blue emitters and the trans isomers exhibited significantly higher fluorescence quantum yields (relative to 9,10-diphenylanthracene) as compared to the corresponding cis isomers. The solid-state fluorescence spectra revealed an important red shift of λmax due to intermolecular interactions in the lattice, along with an emission-band broadening, as compared to the solution fluorescence spectra.

The breakup of viscoelastic liquid films are investigated experimentally and analytically. The breakup phenomena of viscoelastic liquid film are recorded by the time resolved high speed camera. Video images reveal the difference behavior of liquid bubble breakup for Newtonian and viscoelastic liquid. For the Newtonian liquid, cylindrical ligaments are stretched into droplets with large distributions of drop size. For the viscoelastic liquid, the pinch-off point is located on the liquid connections to the nozzle and finally the main part of the ligament no longer elongates. Furthermore, a dispersion relation based on the stability analysis is involved to predict the ligament length and drop mean size after breakup for liquid film. The calculated ligament length is validated by the measured drop mean size at higher air-to-liquid mass flow ratio.

A series of novel blue-light-emitting 2H-imidazo[5,1-a]isoquinolinium chloride derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of isoquinoline with trifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides and isocyanides in dry CH2Cl2 in excellent yields. Fluorescence studies showed that the compounds absorb UV radiation and then emit blue light at about 481 nm with moderate to good fluorescence quantum yields. These compounds also showed high Stokes shifts, and can be used to develop ­ultrasensitive fluorescent molecular probes to study a variety of biological events and processes.

The phosphorescence spectra, mean lifetimes of phosphorescence and ratios of phosphorescence/ fluorescence quantum yields have been measured for 5-phenyltetrazole and its three methyl derivatives in a polyvinyl alcohol film over the temperature range of (77-250) K. Temperature responses of the non-radiative intersystem crossing constant. KST, and the non-radiative triplet state deactivation constant, km, have been investigated on the basis of these measurements. The energy of activation for the non-radiative transitions has been determined. With the methyl 5-phenyltetrazoles, the thermal deactivation of the triplet state, contrary to the intersystem crossing, has been found to be influenced by the position of the methyl substituent in the phenyl ring.

This paper deals with a series of new unsymmetrically substituted mesoporphyrins: 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHO), 5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHM), 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHP), 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-butyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TBPOHO), and their parent nonsubstituted compounds, respectively, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-butyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TBP). Several photophysical studies were carried out to access the influence of the unsymmetrical substitution at the porphyrinic macrocycle on porthyrin's photophysical properties, especially porthyrin's efficiency as singlet oxygen sensitizers. The quantum yields of singlet oxygen generation were determined in benzene (ΦΔ(TPP) = 0.66 ± 0.05;ΦΔ(TPPOHO) = 0.69 ± 0.04;ΦΔ(TPPOHM) = 0.62 ± 0.04;ΦΔ(TPPOHP) = 0.73 ± 0.03;ΦΔ(TBP) = 0.76 ± 0.03;ΦΔ(TBPOHO) = 0.73 ± 0.02) using the 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21,23-H-porphine (ΦΔ(TPP) = 0.66) and Phenazine (ΦΔ(Phz) = 0.83) as reference compounds. Their fluorescence quantum yields were found to be (Φf(TPPOHO) = 0.10 ± 0.04;Φf(TPPOHM) = 0.09 ± 0.03;Φf(TPPOHP) = 0.13 ± 0.02;Φf(TBP) = 0.08 ± 0.03 andΦf(TBPOHO) = 0.08 ± 0.02 using 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21,23-H-porphine as referenceΦf(TPP) = 0.13). Singlet state lifetimes were also determined in the same solvent. All the porphyrins presented very similar fluorescence lifetimes (mean values ofτS(withO2, air equilibrated) = 9.6 ± 0.3 nanoseconds and (withoutO2, argon purged) = 10.1 ± 0.6 nanoseconds, resp.). The phosphorescence emission was found to be negligible for this series of unsymmetrically substituted mesoporphyrins, but an E-type, thermally activated, delayed fluorescence process was proved to occur at room temperature.

The synthesis of novel, symmetrical zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) bearing four ethynylcyclohexyloxy terminal moieties was achieved by cyclotetramerization of novel 4-(2-ethynylcyclohexyloxy) phthalonitrile in pentanol in the presence of DBU and zinc acetate without any protective/deprotective chemistry. Subsequently, this new zinc(II) phthalocyanine derivative was reacted with 6-azido-hexanoic acid under "click-chemistry" conditions to give phthalocyanine-hexanoic acid conjugates linked by 1,2,3-triazole units. The new compounds have been characterized by using elemental analyses, UV-vis, FTIR, 1 H NMR and mass spectroscopic data. The aggregation properties of the compounds were investigated in different concentrations. General trends are also described for fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes of novel zinc derivatives in tetrahydrofuran. The fluorescence of the tetrasubstituted zinc(II) phthalocyanine complexes is effectively quenched by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) in THF.

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.

Starting from substituted alkynones, α-pyrones and/or 1H-pyridines were generated in a Michael addition–cyclocondensation with ethyl cyanoacetate. The peculiar product formation depends on the reaction conditions as well as on the electronic substitution pattern of the alkynone. While electron-donating groups furnish α-pyrones as main products, electron-withdrawing groups predominantly give the corresponding 1H-pyridines. Both heterocycle classes fluoresce in solution and in the solid state. In particular, dimethylamino-substituted α-pyrones, as donor–acceptor systems, display remarkable photophysical properties, such as strongly red-shifted absorption and emission maxima with daylight fluorescence and fluorescence quantum yields up to 99% in solution and around 11% in the solid state, as well as pronounced emission solvatochromism. Also a donor-substituted α-pyrone shows pronounced aggregation-induced emission enhancement.
