Syntheses and Characterizations of Platinum Complexes with New Pyrene-based Salicylaldiminato-type Ligand Substituted at 7-Position of Pyrene

Many experimental data show that bulky substituents on the molecules enhance solubility, catalytic activity, and photophysical properties due to the prevention of π-π stacking in metal salicylaldimines. In order to understand the effect of bulkiness of substituents on the properties of the obtained molecules, the author researched and synthesized two new pyrene-based salicylaldiminato-type ligands that were substituted at 7-position and functionalized on imine group with bulky substituents. After the introduction of the tert-butyl group at 7-position of pyrene by Friedel-Crafts reaction, the syntheses of new ligands 1-hydroxy-2-[((2,6-dimethylphenyl)-imino)methyl]-7-(tert-butyl)-pyrene 3, 2-hydroxy-1- [((2,6-dimethylphenyl)imino)methyl]-7-(tert-butyl)-pyrene 4 and corresponding platinum complexes 3(Pt), 4(Pt) were performed in the different ways with the synthetic processes of the complexes 1(Pt) and 2(Pt). The new ligands and complexes were characterized by 1H NMR, IR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction, only for 3(Pt). In addition to measurements of the absorption and emission spectra, TDDFT calculations using the B3LYP functions were also performed. The complexes 3(Pt) and 4(Pt) exhibit good solubility and red-shift in absorption and emission spectra because of tert-butyl group at 7-position of pyrene and extension of the delocalized π-orbitals to the 2,6-dimethylphenyl on imine group. The change of functional groups also induces the upfield shift of the protons affected by ring currents of phenyl groups Ar-3, Ar-4 on imine groups. Introduction of t-butyl groups in pyrene moieties can stabilize radical forms in oxidation processes.

Laser performance and investigation of the optimal density functional and the dependence of the basis sets for (E, E)-2,5-bis (3,4-dimethoxystyryl) pyrazine (BDP) molecule

This manuscript includes some photophysical parameters and some optical properties such as absorption and emission spectra of the (E, E)-2,5-bis (3,4-dimethoxystyryl) pyrazine (BDP) by applying sol–gel and copolymer matrices. The BDP molecular structure is incorporated in sol–gel matrix and copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). In case of sol–gel matrix, the BDP molecular structure has higher quantum yield in addition to photostability maxima. The laser behavior of this molecular structure containing sol–gel matrix is good senior compared to copolymer one via using diode laser (450 nm) as pumping laser of power 160 mW. Also, the fluorescence profile of the BDP molecular structure is sensitized via using cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) by applying sol–gel host. The optimized structure of the BDP molecule is obtained via applying B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. The electronic absorption and emission spectra of the BDP molecular structure in ethanol solvent were calculated using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) at CAM-B3LYP/6-31G + + (d, p) level. The obtained theoretical results were compared to experimental ones.

Relations between absorption, emission, and excited state chemical potentials from nanocrystal 2D spectra

For quantum-confined nanomaterials, size dispersion causes a static broadening of spectra that has been difficult to measure and invalidates all-optical methods for determining the maximum photovoltage that an excited state can generate. Using femtosecond two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy to separate size dispersion broadening of absorption and emission spectra allows a test of single-molecule generalized Einstein relations between such spectra for colloidal PbS quantum dots. We show that 2D spectra and these relations determine the thermodynamic standard chemical potential difference between the lowest excited and ground electronic states, which gives the maximum photovoltage. Further, we find that the static line broadening from many slightly different quantum dot structures allows single-molecule generalized Einstein relations to determine the average single-molecule linewidth from Stokes’ frequency shift between ensemble absorption and emission spectra.
