- Time-dependent morphology evolution and density functional theory calculations to study crystal growth process of a triphenylamine nanorod
-
In this study, a typical intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) triphenylamine derivative, [4-(diphenylamino)phenyl]methylenepropanedinitrile (abbreviated as DPMP) was synthesized. Controllable one dimensional (1D) nanocrystals of DPMP have been obtained through reprecipitation method. The thermodynamic relationship of the molecular structure and growth process in nanometer scale of DPMP was investigated through density functional theory (DFT) calculation, which was performed on the weak interactions between adjacent molecules. The results showed that the assembling interactions along a axis were much stronger than that along b and c axis, which meant that 1D orientation growth along a axis would be the most stable state in thermodynamics, that is to say, DPMP molecules tended to form 1D orientation structure. The study is helpful to understand the relationship of molecular structure, weak interactions, orientation growth process and self-assembling morphology.

- A highly selective and sensitive fluorescent chemosensor for detection of CN-, SO32- and Fe3+ based on aggregation-induced emission
-
A novel fluorescence chemosensor 1 with aggregation-induced emission was designed and synthesized through a nucleophilic addition reaction between cyanide and triphenylamine. It exhibited remarkable selectivity and high sensitivity and was able to detect Fe3+, CN- and SO32- in almost pure aqueous solution with low detection limits of 1.44 μM, 9.88 nM and 0.107 μM, respectively. Job's plot and 1H NMR data showed that the binding stoichiometry of 1 with Fe3+, CN- or SO32- was 1:1. Further observations of 1H NMR titration suggested that a coordination bond was formed between two cyano of 1 and Fe3+ which resulted in fluorescence quenching of 1 after detection of Fe3+, whereas the nucleophilic addition of cyanide or sulfite to the vinyl group was responsible for the fluorescent quenching of CN- or SO32- toward 1. The biological applications of 1 were also evaluated and it was found to exhibit low cytotoxicity and membrane permeability. In addition, 1 could also be made into test strips to detect Fe3+ and CN- and was employed as a sensor for detection Fe3+ in living cells.

- Controlling and Fine-Tuning Charge-Transfer Emission in 2,6-Dicyanoaniline Multichromophores Prepared through Domino Reactions: Entry to a Potentially New Class of OLEDs
-
Substituted 2,6-dicyanoanilines are versatile electron donor-acceptor compounds, which have recently received considerable attention, since they exhibit strong fluorescence and may have utility in the synthesis of fluorescent materials, non-natural photosynthetic systems, and materials with nonlinear optical properties. The majority of known synthetic procedures are, however, stop-and-go reaction processes involving time-consuming and waste-producing isolation and purification of product intermediates. Here, we present the synthesis of substituted 2,6-dicyanoanilines via atom-economical and eco-friendly one-pot processes, involving metal-free domino reactions, and their subsequent photochemical and photophysical measurements and theoretical calculations. These studies exhibit the existence of an easily tunable radical ion pair-based charge-transfer (CT) emission in the synthesized 2,6-dicyanoaniline-based electron donor-acceptor systems. The charge-transfer processes were explored by photochemical and radiation chemical measurements, in particular, based on femtosecond laser photolysis transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved emission spectroscopy, accompanied by pulse radiolysis and complemented by quantum chemical investigations employing time-dependent density-functional theory. This chromophore class exhibits a broad-wavelength-range fine-tunable charge recombination emission with high photoluminescence quantum yields up to 0.98. Together with its rather simple and cost-effective synthesis (using easily available starting materials) and customizable properties, it renders this class of compounds feasible candidates as potential dyes for future optoelectronic devices like organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).

- Multipodal arrangement of push-pull chromophores: a fundamental parameter affecting their electronic and optical properties
-
A series of model push-pull molecules with linear, quadrupolar, and tripodal arrangements, a varyingly substituted amino donor, two acceptors, and a partially extended π-system has been prepared. Two peripheral electron acceptors, namely N,N′-dibutylbarbituric acid and dicyanovinyl, were employed. The fundamental properties of 24 push-pull chromophores were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, electrochemistry, one-photon absorption spectroscopy, photoinduced piezooptics, and were supported by DFT calculations. Thorough structure-property relationships were elucidated, while a significant influence of the structural arrangement/branching on the electronic and optical properties has been revealed. The fundamental optoelectronic properties of push-pull molecules are affected by their arrangement (linear/quadrupolar/tripodal), the peripheral acceptor attached, extension and planarization of the π-system, and also by the type of auxiliary N-substituent.

- Synthesis, photophysical properties and TD-DFT calculation of four two-photon absorbing triphenylamine derivatives
-
In this study, linear absorption, single-photon excited fluorescence, fluorescence quantum yields, fluorescence lifetime and two-photon excited fluorescence of a series of triphenylamine derivatives (L1, L2, L3 and L4) have been measured. L1 and L3 are D-π-A type dyes, while L2 and L4 are D-π-D-π-A type dyes (D = donor, A = acceptor). The investigated compounds consist of triphenylamine-bearing donor-substituted and/or systematically extended π-conjugated length, which are designed to gain insight into the effect of the ethoxyl unit and π-linkage length on the linear and nonlinear optical properties. The influence of solvent polarity on the photophysical properties was investigated. Employing time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, the structure-property relationships are discussed.

- Molecular rotors as fluorescent viscosity sensors: Molecular design, polarity sensitivity, dipole moments changes, screening solvents, and deactivation channel of the excited states
-
A library of new fluorescent molecular rotors (FMRs) for viscosity sensing was synthesized. The sensitivity of the fluorescence emission toward solvent viscosity and polarity was investigated by using UV/Vis absorption, fluorescence emission spectra, and theoretical calculations. For the new FMRs, red-shifted emissions at 620 nm, Stokes shifts of 170 nm, and up to 40-fold fluorescence enhancement upon increasing the viscosity of solvents were observed (cf. known FMRs with emissions at 491 nm, Stokes shift of 33 nm and fivefold emission enhancement). By using solvents with high viscosity but low polarity, for example, polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) or dimethyl silicone oil, rotors previously identified as non-FMRs with ethylene glycol/glycerol show FMR properties. We found triphenylamine (TPA)-based rotors showed solvent-polarity-dependent emission, but also FMR properties. This is contrary to the known theory of FMRs. One of the TPA-based rotors shows the highest x value of 0.88 (versus 0.6 for known FMRs). The emissive excited states of the FMRs proved to be locally excited (LE) states and twisted intramolecular charge-transfer (TICT) states were identified as dark states through trifluoroacetic acid titration and DFT/time-dependent DFT calculations, which show that the nonradiative decay channel of the excited FMRs is the rotation about the dicyanovinyl C=C double bonds in the S1 state, not rotation around C-C single bonds. Extension of the π conjugation of the rotors increases the rotation barrier around the C=C double bond in the S1 state (to ca. 50 kJ mol-1 or higher), thus the nonradiative channel is blocked and higher fluorescence quantum yields are observed for the new rotors. Our results will be useful for future design of FMRs as fluorescent viscosity sensors.
