1,3-Diphenyl-5-(9-anthryl)-2-pyrazoline and 1,3-diphenyl-5-(9-anthryl)-1H- pyrazole with an anthryl chromophore were synthesized and characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Their optical properties were characterized by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. It was observed that the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the two compounds showed a red shift with respect to that of anthracene. Pyrazole exhibited high fluorescent quantum yields (Φf = 0.90 in toluene) while pyrazoline showed nearly no fluorescence in solution. The significant fluorescence divergence of the two similar compounds was investigated theoretically through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The energetically lowest-lying state S1 in the pyrazoline exhibited both characteristics of locally excited and electron-transfer states that resulted in the fluorescence quenching of anthryl chromophore whereas the S1 state in the pyrazole corresponded to an optically allowed state that led to high fluorescence quantum yields in solutions.
