Series of the triazene-cinnamic acid polymeric fluorescent brighteners were synthesized through three-step condensation reactions and polymerization reaction with styrene under replacing one of amino compounds of traditional fluorescent brighteners by cinnamic acid. The optical properties in aqueous solutions and N,N’- dimethyl formamide as well as paper coating application test were evaluated. The results showed that the light stability and fluorescence quantum yield of polymeric fluorescent brighteners was improved obviously and photoinduced isomerization was lower. Meanwhile the optical properties of polymeric fluorescent brightener were affected by concentration and solvent polarity, fluorescence quantum yield increasing and hypochromatic shift of fluorescence emmission wavelength with the decrease of solvent polarity. When the concentration was over 1 10-4 g/mL, the fluorescence was quenched.

AbstractIn this contribution, we investigate by means of correlated quantum-chemical calculations the influence of intermolecular interactions on the absorption and emission properties of conjugated chains. Various strategies are suggested to avoid a substantial decrease in fluorescence quantum yield in condensed media. Finally, the reliability of our theoretical approach is validated by showing the remarkable agreement obtained between the experimental data and the calculated optical properties of clusters formed by sexithienyl molecules.

Perylene dicarboximide dimer with electron withdrawing groups were synthesized and fully characterized by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra. The effects of the substituted groups on the optical and electrochemical properties of the two compounds were investigated. The ∏-∏* absorption peak of the perylene dicarboximide dimer compounds were red shifted from 525nm to 535nm. The band gaps of the dimer could be tuned from 2.28 eV to 2.13 eV. The first reduction wave of the dimer with electron withdrawing groups is shifted by 60 mV to more positive potential compared to that of perylene dicarboximide, suggesting the enhanced electron affinity. Furthemore, the dimer exhibited intermolecular aggregation, and decrease fluorescence quantum yield.

For a series of carbonyl-containing compounds with a stilbene subchromophore the lowest ten singlet and triplet states have been calculated with the aid of the CNDO/S-CI method. The results were used to rationalize the relative ordering of the lowest-lying S(ππ*), S(ππ*), T(ππ*), and T(ππ*) electronic states. Using the calculated energy separation between the singlet ππ*and nπ* states and between the singlet ππ* and triplet nπ* states the fluorescence ability of the compounds studied is interpreted. The connection between the structure of the compounds and their fluorescence is discussed. It is shown that an increase of the solvent polarity in some cases may lead to an inversion of the singlet nπ* and ππ* levels and to an enhancement of the fluorescence quantum yield.

4′-Azulenyl-substituted terpyridines were efficiently synthesized following the Kröhnke methodology via azulenylchalcone intermediates. These azulenyl-containing terpyridines showed fluorescent emission with a fluorescence quantum yield varying from 0.14, in the case of parent terpyridine, to 0.64 when methyl groups are grafted on the azulenyl seven-membered ring. According to the crystal structures and TDDFT calculations, different twisting of the aromatic constituents is responsible for the observed fluorescent behavior. The electrochemical profile contains one-electron oxidation/reduction steps, which can only be explained on the basis of the redox behavior of the azulene unit. The ability of the 4′-azulenyl 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine to bind poisoning metal cations was studied by UV–vis titrations using aqueous solutions of Hg(II) and Cd(II) chlorides as illustrative examples.

Objective. This study aims to increase the fluorescence quantum yield by improving the conditions of preparing graphene quantum dots (GQDs) through the solvothermal route and observe the GQDs performance in imaging oral squamous cells.Methodology. The following experimental conditions of GQDs preparation through the solvothermal route were improved: graphene oxide (GO)/N-N dimethyl formamide (DMF) ratio, filling percentage, and reaction time. A fluorescence spectrophotometer was used to measure photoluminescence, and the peak values were compared. Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium (MTT) bromide was used to detect the cytotoxicity of GQDs, which was compared with that of cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs). GQDs were cultured with tongue cancer cells. After the coculture, a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) was used to observe cell imaging.Results. The optimal conditions of GQD preparation through the solvothermal route included the following: 10 mg/mL GO/DMF ratio, 80% filling percentage, 12 h reaction time, and 17.4% fluorescence quantum yield. As the cell concentration increased, the GQD and CdTe QD groups exhibited a decreasing cell survival rate, with the decrease in the CdTe QD group being more significant. The LSCM observations showed bright green fluorescence images.Conclusion. The improved experimental conditions increased the fluorescence quantum yield of GQDs. In this study, the prepared GQDs exhibited low cytotoxicity level and satisfactory cell imaging performance.

One of amino compounds of traditional fluorescent brighteners with polyaminamide was replaced and new triazinyl aminostilbene fluorescent brightener was modified by polyaminamide which synthesized through three-step condensation reaction. The molecular structures were characterized by IR spectrum and photoproperties in aqueous and ethanol were studied by ultraviolet absorption spectra, fluorescence emission spectra, photochemical stability and paper coating application test. The results show that the light stability and fluorescence quantum yield of polyaminamide fluorescent brighteners (PFBs) were improved obviously, which compared with the traditional FBs, such as VBL, and the whitening performance of paper coating enhanced and used widely. Meanwhile, the photophysics and photochemical properties of triazene-stilbene fluorescence brighteners are markedly determined by solvent polarity.
