New AB2 type two-photon absorption dyes for well-separated dual-emission: Molecular preorganization based approach to photophysical properties

A variety of AB2 type new target dyes containing two proton transfer segments (o-hydroxy-phenyl-imino) are presented in this study. Furthermore, the corresponding reference molecules absent of hydroxy or imino groups are provided as well. Dual intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the target dyes are demonstrated by 1H NMR spectra, X-ray single crystal analysis as well as one-photon absorption spectra. Linear emission properties (static and transient emission nature) and two-photon absorption optical properties of these target and reference dyes are determined in various media such as organic solvents, solid phase state as well as PMMA substrate. The results show that the new AB2 type target dyes can efficiently undergo internal proton transfer in the excited states under one-photon irradiation and near-infrared femtosecond laser two-photon irradiation, respectively, and thus they exhibit well-separated dual-emission. The molecular geometry optimization is performed for the analysis of the occurrence of internal proton transfer in the excited states of the target AB2 chromophores.

A novel strategy for chromogenic chemosensors highly selective toward cyanide based on its reaction with 4-(2,4-dinitrobenzylideneamino)benzenes or 2,4-dinitrostilbenes

N-(2,4-dinitrobenzylidene)-4-methoxyaniline (1), 4-(N,N-dimethylamine)-N-(2,4-dinitrobenzylidene) aniline (2), 2,4-dinitro-4′-methoxystilbene (3), and 2,4-dinitro-4′-(dimethylamino)stilbene (4) were synthesized and studied in dimethyl sulfoxide in a novel strategy as anionic chromogenic chemosensors. The color of the solutions of these compounds changed only in the presence of cyanide. The kinetic studies were performed with compounds 1-3 in an excess of cyanide. Higher second-order rate constant values were obtained for the compounds containing a methoxy group in relation to the compounds with a dimethylamino substituent, since the methoxy group donates electronic density to the 2,4-dinitrophenyl electron-accepting group less easily compared with the dimethylamino group. Stilbenes generally have greater structural rigidity than imines, facilitating the action of the substituents through the mesomeric effect. The data obtained indicate that the anion acts as a nucleophile, being responsible for C=N bond breaking. The C=C bridge is not broken in the stilbene dyes, but cyanide performs a nucleophilic attack on the 2,4-dinitrophenyl group.
