Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202406204. [PMID: 38758302 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202406204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Fluorescent flippers have been introduced as small-molecule probes to image membrane tension in living systems. This study describes the design, synthesis, spectroscopic and imaging properties of flippers that are elongated by one and two alkynes inserted between the push and the pull dithienothiophene domains. The resulting mechanophores combine characteristics of flippers, reporting on physical compression in the ground state, and molecular rotors, reporting on torsional motion in the excited state, to take their photophysics to new level of sophistication. Intensity ratios in broadened excitation bands from differently twisted conformers of core-alkynylated flippers thus report on mechanical compression. Lifetime boosts from ultrafast excited-state planarization and lifetime drops from competitive intersystem crossing into triplet states report on viscosity. In standard lipid bilayer membranes, core-alkynylated flippers are too long for one leaflet and tilt or extend into disordered interleaflet space, which preserves rotor-like torsional disorder and thus weak, blue-shifted fluorescence. Flipper-like planarization occurs only in highly ordered membranes of matching leaflet thickness, where they light up and selectively report on these thick membranes with red-shifted, sharpened excitation maxima, high intensity and long lifetime.

Abstract
Microporous organic polymers that have three-dimensional connectivity stemming from monomers with tetrahedral or tetrahedron-like geometry can have high surface areas and strong fluorescence. There are however few examples of such polymers based on hindered biaryls, and their fluorescence has not been studied. Hypothesizing that the contortion in a hindered biphenyl moiety would modulate the optical properties of a polymer built from it, we synthesized a meta-enchained polyphenylene from a 2,2',6,6'-tetramethylbiphenyl-based monomer, in which the two phenyl rings are nearly mutually perpendicular. The polymer was microporous with SBET = 495 m2 g-1. The polymer absorbed near-UV light and emitted blue fluorescence despite the meta-enchainment that would have been expected to break the conjugation. A related copolymer, synthesized from 2,2',6,6'-tetramethylbiphenyl-based and unsubstituted biphenyl-based monomers, was microporous but not fluorescent.

Abstract
In this work, the ultrafast intramolecular rotation behavior of 1,1,2,3,4,5-hexaphenylsilole has been investigated in several solutions with different viscosities using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy combined with density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory calculations. It is demonstrated that the nonradiative process, which competes with radiative decay, involves two main stages, namely the restricted intramolecular rotation and internal conversion processes. The intramolecular rotation depends on viscosity and presents a significant restriction. The restricted rotational rate is determined to be dozens of picoseconds. The following nonradiative process is strongly dominated by intramolecular rotation. The nonradiative decay rate will decrease with the increase in viscosity, leading to a rise in the radiative probability and photoluminous yield. These results have borne out the mechanism of ultrafast restricted intramolecular rotation of aggregation induced emission and provided a detailed photophysical picture of nonradiative processes.

Abstract
The UV absorbance bands of 1,4-distyrylbenzene (1,4-Bis[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]benzene, DSB) are investigated by Synchrotron Radiation Linear Dichroism (SRLD) spectroscopy using stretched polyethylene as an anisotropic solvent. The observed polarization data provide information on the transition moment directions of the observed spectral features. The investigation covers the range 15,000-58,000 cm-1 (667-172 nm), thereby providing new information on the transitions of DSB in the vacuum UV region. The observed spectrum is characterized by four main band systems centered at 27,600, 41,000, 49,800, and 57,500 cm-1 (362, 244, 201, and 174 nm). In general, the observed bands and their polarization directions are well predicted by the results of quantum chemical calculations using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) with the functional CAM-B3LYP, and with the semiempirical all-valence-electrons method LCOAO.

Abstract
This work describes the synthesis and aggregation behavior of a dimeric bile acid derivative in which two steroid cores are bridged by a p-di(phenylethynyl)phenylene fluorophore. The studied compound contains three key characteristics: (a) restricted conformational equilibrium in solution, (b) efficient fluorescence conferred by the bridge, and (c) medium responsiveness encoded in the steroid fragments. The incorporation of the three components afforded a compound that generates nano- and micrometric spherical particles with aggregation-responsive fluorescence emission. The observed self-assembly process of the featured molecule was induced by the gradual addition of water to the tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution. This aggregation led to significant changes in fluorescence that went from two bands at λem values of 370 and 390 nm in pure THF to a new spectrum with two maxima at λem values of 395 and 418 nm at high water contents, without a decrease in emission. The observed changes can be ascribed to weakly coupled aggregation, a hypothesis supported by multiscale molecular modeling, which sheds light on the mechanism of the self-assembly of this unconventional amphiphile.

Abstract
Strong coupling plays a significant role in influencing chemical reactions and tuning material properties by modifying the energy landscapes of the systems. Here we study the effect of vibrational strong coupling (VSC) on supramolecular organization. For this purpose, a rigid-rod conjugated polymer known to form gels was strongly coupled together with its solvent in a microfluidic IR Fabry-Perot cavity. Absorption and fluorescence studies indicate a large modification of the self-assembly under such cooperative VSC. Electron microscopy confirms that in this case, the supramolecular morphology is totally different from that observed in the absence of strong coupling. In addition, the self-assembly kinetics are altered and depend on the solvent vibration under VSC. The results are compared to kinetic isotope effects on the self-assembly to help clarify the role of different parameters under strong coupling. These findings indicate that VSC is a valuable new tool for controlling supramolecular assemblies with broad implications for the molecular and material sciences.

Abstract
Oligophenyleneethynylenes (OPEs) are prominent building blocks with exciting optical and supramolecular properties. However, their generally small spectroscopic changes upon aggregation make the analysis of their self-assembly challenging, especially in the absence of additional hydrogen bonds. Herein, by investigating a series of OPEs of increasing size, we have unravelled the role of the conjugation length on the self-assembly properties of OPEs.

Abstract
We report four new luminescent tetracationic bis-triarylborane DNA and RNA sensors that show high binding affinities, in several cases even in the nanomolar range. Three of the compounds contain substituted, highly emissive and structurally flexible bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl-4-ethynyl)arene linkers (3: arene=5,5'-2,2'-bithiophene; 4: arene=1,4-benzene; 5: arene=9,10-anthracene) between the two boryl moieties and serve as efficient dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores. The shorter analogue 6 employs 9,10-anthracene as the linker and demonstrates the importance of an adequate linker length with a certain level of flexibility by exhibiting generally lower binding affinities than 3-5. Pronounced aggregation-deaggregation processes are observed in fluorimetric titration experiments with DNA for compounds 3 and 5. Molecular modelling of complexes of 5 with AT-DNA, suggest the minor groove as the dominant binding site for monomeric 5, but demonstrate that dimers of 5 can also be accommodated. Strong SERS responses for 3-5 versus a very weak response for 6, particularly the strong signals from anthracene itself observed for 5 but not for 6, demonstrate the importance of triple bonds for strong Raman activity in molecules of this compound class. The energy of the characteristic stretching vibration of the C≡C bonds is significantly dependent on the aromatic moiety between the triple bonds. The insertion of aromatic moieties between two C≡C bonds thus offers an alternative design for dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores, applicable in multiplex biological Raman imaging.

Abstract
Herein, we exploit coordination geometry as a new tool to regulate the non-covalent interactions, photophysical properties and energy landscape of supramolecular polymers. To this end, we have designed two self-assembled Pt(ii) complexes 1 and 2 that feature an identical aromatic surface, but differ in the coordination and molecular geometry (linear vs. V-shaped) as a result of judicious ligand choice (monodentate pyridine vs. bidentate bipyridine). Even though both complexes form cooperative supramolecular polymers in methylcyclohexane, their supramolecular and photophysical behaviour differ significantly: while the high preorganization of the bipyridine-based complex 1 enables an H-type 1D stacking with short Pt⋯Pt contacts via a two-step consecutive process, the existence of increased steric effects for the pyridyl-based derivative 2 hinders the formation of metal–metal contacts and induces a single aggregation process into large bundles of fibers. Ultimately, this fine control of Pt⋯Pt distances leads to tuneable luminescence—red for 1vs. blue for 2, which highlights the relevance of coordination geometry for the development of functional supramolecular materials. In this article, we exploit coordination geometry as a new tool to control the energy landscape and photophysical properties (red vs. blue luminescence) of supramolecular polymers.![]()

Abstract
The synthesis of a doubly bridged 1,4‐bis(phenylethynyl)benzene is reported. The target displays photophysical properties, distinctly different from that of its congeners, the singly bridged tolans. Quantum‐chemical calculations suggest a lack of planarization of the bridged bis(phenylethynyl)benzene in the first excited state.

Abstract
This work reports the first observation of circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) in thin films of self-organized oligothiophenes. Four new 1,4-phenylene and 9H-carbazole-based oligothiophenes were ad hoc designed to ensure efficient spontaneous formation of chiral supramolecular order. They were easily synthesized and their chiroptical properties in thin films were measured. Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectra revealed glum in the order of 10-2 on a wide wavelengths range, originating from their self-organized chiral supramolecular organization. These molecules have reasonable properties as organic semiconductors and for this reason they can constitute the active layer of circularly-polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs). Thus, we could investigate directly their electroluminescence (EL) and CPEL, without resorting to blends, but rather in a simple multilayer device with basic architecture. This is the first example of a CP-OLED with active layer made only of a small organic compound.

Abstract
Control over the photochemical outcome of photochromic molecules in solution represents a major challenge, as photoexcitation often leads to multiple competing photochemical and/or supramolecular pathways resulting in complex product mixtures. Herein, we demonstrate precise and efficient control over the photochemical behaviour of cyanostilbenes in solution using a straightforward solvent-controlled approach based on supramolecular polymerization. To this end, we designed a π-extended cyanostilbene bolaamphiphile that exhibits tuneable solvent-dependent photochemical behaviour. Photoirradiation of the system in a monomeric state (in organic solvents) exclusively leads to a highly reversible and efficient E/Z photoisomerization, whereas a nearly quantitative [2 + 2] photocycloaddition into a single cyclobutane (anti head-to-tail) occurs in aqueous solutions. These results can be rationalized by a highly regular and preorganized antiparallel J-type arrangement of the cyanostilbene units that is driven by aqueous supramolecular polymerization. The presented concept demonstrates a novel approach towards solvent-selective and environmentally friendly photochemical transformations, which is expected to broaden the scope of supramolecular polymerization.

Abstract
Chiral π-conjugated molecules provide new materials with outstanding features for current and perspective applications, especially in the field of optoelectronic devices. In thin films, processes such as charge conduction, light absorption, and emission are governed not only by the structure of the individual molecules but also by their supramolecular structures and intermolecular interactions to a large extent. Electronic circular dichroism, ECD, and its emission counterpart, circularly polarized luminescence, CPL, provide tools for studying aggregated states and the key properties to be sought for designing innovative devices. In this review, we shall present a comprehensive coverage of chiroptical properties measured on thin films of organic π-conjugated molecules. In the first part, we shall discuss some general concepts of ECD, CPL, and other chiroptical spectroscopies, with a focus on their applications to thin film samples. In the following, we will overview the existing literature on chiral π-conjugated systems whose thin films have been characterized by ECD and/or CPL, as well other chiroptical spectroscopies. Special emphasis will be put on systems with large dissymmetry factors (gabs and glum) and on the application of ECD and CPL to derive structural information on aggregated states.

Abstract
Conformational changes of linker units in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are often responsible for gate-opening phenomena in selective gas adsorption and stimuli-responsive optical and electrical sensing behaviour. Herein, we show that pressure-induced bathochromic shifts in both fluorescence emission and UV/Vis absorption spectra of a two-fold interpenetrated Hf MOF, linked by 1,4-phenylene-bis(4-ethynylbenzoate) ligands (Hf-peb), are induced by rotation of the central phenyl ring of the linker, from a coplanar arrangement to a twisted, previously unseen conformer. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, alongside in situ fluorescence and UV/Vis absorption spectroscopies, measured up to 2.1 GPa in a diamond anvil cell on single crystals, are in excellent agreement, correlating linker rotation with modulation of emission. Topologically isolating the 1,4-phenylene-bis(4-ethynylbenzoate) units within a MOF facilitates concurrent structural and spectroscopic studies in the absence of intermolecular perturbation, allowing characterisation of the luminescence properties of a high-energy, twisted conformation of the previously well-studied chromophore. We expect the unique environment provided by network solids, and the capability of combining crystallographic and spectroscopic analysis, will greatly enhance understanding of luminescent molecules and lead to the development of novel sensors and adsorbents.

Abstract
Molecular dimers, oligomers, and polymers are versatile components in photophysical and optoelectronic architectures that could impact a variety of applications. We present a perspective on such systems in the field of singlet fission, which effectively multiplies excitons and produces a unique excited state species, the triplet pair. The choice of chromophore and the nature of the attachment between units, both geometrical and chemical, play a defining role in the dynamical scheme that evolves upon photoexcitation. Specific final outcomes (e.g., separated and uncorrelated triplet pairs) are being sought through rational design of covalently bound chromophore architectures built with guidance from recent fundamental studies that correlate structure with excited state population flow kinetics.

Abstract
pH-Tunable nanoscale morphology and self-assembly mechanism of a series of oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE)-based bolaamphiphiles featuring poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) side chains of different length and degree of hydrolysis are described. Protonation and deprotonation of the PEI chains by changing the pH alters the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance of the systems and, in turn, the strength of intermolecular interactions between the hydrophobic OPE moieties. Low pH values (3) lead to weak interaction between the OPEs and result in spherical nanoparticles, in which aggregation follows an isodesmic mechanism. In contrast, higher pH values (11) induce deprotonation of the polymer chains and lead to a stronger, cooperative aggregation into anisotropic nanostructures. Our results demonstrate that pH-responsive chains can be exploited as a tool to tune self-assembly mechanisms, which opens exciting possibilities to develop new stimuli-responsive materials.

Abstract
Organic luminescent materials have a wide range of practical applications, but the understanding of the relationship between molecular structure and luminescent behavior is lacking. Herein, we synthesized fluorinated bistolanes with an electron-donating alkoxy substituent at one terminal and an electron-withdrawing substituent at the other to realize systematic control of the electron-density distribution. Evaluation of the phase transition behavior revealed that most of the fluorinated bistolanes showed liquid-crystalline (LC) behavior, with the phase transition temperature depending on the terminal substituents. Additionally, the fluorinated luminophores displayed intense photoluminescence (PL) in solution and in their crystal phases. Remarkably, the PL color shifted dramatically depending on the dipole moment (μ||) along the long molecular axis; thus, PL tuning can be achieved through electronic modulation by precise control of the μ|| of the luminophore. Interestingly, in the LC phases under thermal conditions, the maximum PL band shifted by 0.210 eV upon phase transition from the crystal to smectic A LC phases, indicating that PL tuning can also be achieved by controlling the aggregated structure. These results offer a new molecular design for easily tunable PL materials using the molecular properties or external stimuli for promising applications, including light-emitting displays and PL sensing materials.

Abstract
Cooperative π-π interactions and H-bonding are frequently exploited in supramolecular polymerization; however, close scrutiny of their mutual interplay has been largely unexplored. Herein, we compare the self-assembly behavior of a series of C2 - and C3 -symmetrical oligophenyleneethynylenes differing in their amide topology (N- or C-centered). This subtle structural modification brings about drastic changes in their photophysical and supramolecular properties, highlighting the reciprocal impact of H-bonding vs. preorganization on the evolution and final outcome of supramolecular systems.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the synthesis of novel light-emitting liquid-crystalline (LC) compounds bearing pentafluorinated bistolane-based luminophores with a V- or a Y-shaped molecular geometry and the evaluation of their LC and photophysical characteristics. The V- or Y-shaped compounds exhibited a unique LC phase and showed photoluminescence (PL) behavior under various circumstances, such as in dilute solution or in the solid state. Notably, PL characteristics were observed even under high-temperature conditions with a crystal (Cr) to LC phase transition, although the PL efficiency (Φ PL) was gradually reduced because of thermal molecular motion. Interestingly, Φ PL was found to be completely recovered through the LC → Cr phase transition during the cooling process; the PL characteristics of the V- or Y-shaped compounds were sensitively changed by external thermal stress, giving these compounds the ability to act as thermoresponsive PL sensing materials.

Abstract
Seven three-ring phenylene-ethynylene (PE) structural analogs, differing only in the lengths of alkyl chains on terminal aniline substituents, show 50-62 nm bathochromic shifts in emission maxima in response to mechanical force (mechanofluorochromism, MC). These shifts are fully reversible with heat or solvent fuming. Shearing of these solids yields a transition from green-emitting crystalline phases to orange-emitting amorphous phases as established by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Molecules with shorter alkyl chain lengths required higher temperatures to recover the hypsochromically shifted crystalline phases after grinding, while the recovery with chain lengths longer than butyl occurred at room temperature. In addition to this structure-dependent thermochromism, these compounds retain their MC properties in polymer hosts to various extents. The crystalline phases of these materials have PE chromophores that are twisted due to non-covalent perfluoroarene-arene (ArF-ArH) interactions involving perfluorophenyl pendants and the terminal rings of the PE chromophore, resulting in interrupted conjugation and an absence of chromophore aggregation. The MC behavior of an analog without the perfluoroarene rings is severely attenuated. This work demonstrates the general utility of twisted PEs as stimuli-responsive moieties and reveals clear structure-property relationships regarding the effects of alkyl chain length on these materials.

Abstract
Excited-state interchromophoric couplings in π-conjugated polymers present a daunting challenge to study as their spectroscopic signatures are difficult to separate from structure-dependent intrachromophoric spectral characteristics. Using custom-designed molecular model systems in combination with single-molecule spectroscopy, a controlled coupling of the excited states between cofacially arranged π-conjugated oligomers is shown to be possible. Multiscale molecular dynamics simulations allow us to generate a representative ensemble of molecular structures of the model molecule embedded in a polymer matrix and examine the connection between structural fluctuations of the molecule with theoretically predicted and measured spectral signatures. The single molecules in the embedding matrix polymer can be assigned to specific conformational features with the help of computer-based "virtual spectroscopy". By combining a quantum chemical approach with an analytical approach, we show that the coupling between the chromophores is well-described by transition dipole coupling above an interchromophoric separation of ∼4.5 Å. Even for aligned chromophores, however, twisting between repeat units of the π-system and bending of the individual π-systems can lead to a decoupling of the chromophores to a degree far beyond what their equilibrium structures would suggest: tiny displacements of the molecular constituents can dramatically impact excited-state interactions. This observation has profound implications for the design of future tunable organic optoelectronic materials.

Abstract
Change of the permanent molecular electric dipole moment, Δμ, in a series of nominally centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmteric ferrocene-phenyleneethynylene oligomers was estimated by measuring the two-photon absorption cross-section spectra of the lower energy metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions using femtosecond nonlinear transmission method and was found to vary in the range up to 12 D, with the highest value corresponding to the most nonsymmetric system. Calculations of the Δμ performed by the TD-DFT method show quantitative agreement with the experimental values and reveal that facile rotation of the ferrocene moieties relative to the organic ligand breaks the ground-state inversion symmetry in the nominally symmetric structures.

Abstract
A multipass transmembrane (MTM) structure is prevalent in membrane proteins for a wide range of functions. Typically, the MTM structure is constructed of bundled multiple α-helices spanning the membrane which are connected by flexible domains. One characteristic feature of MTM proteins is dynamic functions such as stimuli responses and conformational changes. In this review, the development of synthetic molecules forming an MTM structure in membranes is highlighted. The MTM folded structure is developed using an amphiphilic molecular design with a multiblock strategy between rigid hydrophobic components and flexible hydrophilic units. Such synthetic amphiphiles not only form the MTM structure by folding but also self-assemble to construct supramolecular ion channels. An elaborated molecular design of the MTM structure with a ligand-binding pocket allows for ligand-gated regulation of ion transport. Light-triggered membrane deformation for vesicle budding is also demonstrated.

Abstract
We synthesised a series of dissymmetric bistolane derivatives and evaluated their liquid-crystalline (LC) and photoluminescence properties in detail. In measuring LC behaviours, rational structural design based on the dissymmetric molecular structure and electron-density distribution facilitated the production of the LC phase with a wide temperature range (up to 97 °C). In addition, dissymmetric bistolane derivatives were shown to strongly emit blue-photoluminescence in dilute solution and in crystalline states. It was found that dissymmetric bistolanes possess emissive features in even the LC phase and photoluminescence behaviours such as emission intensity and colour were sensitively switched depending on the molecular aggregate structure caused by applying a thermal stimulus.
