Abstract
Quadrupolar bis-coumarins bearing dialkylamino groups, prepared by a double Pechmann reaction and subsequent oxidation, strongly emit yellow-orange light. Comparison with non-substituted analogs reveals that, the photophysical properties of the conjugated bis-coumarins are controlled both by the dialkylamino substituents and by the π-system. Analogous but non-conjugated bis-coumarins emit blue light both in solution and in crystalline state. Unusually fast oxidation process in the crystalline state is responsible for the presence of two bands in their solid-state emission. Two-center, charge-transfer transition from an orbital delocalized on the entire molecule to the central benzene ring is responsible for photophysical properties.

Janus-Type AIE Fluorophores: Synthesis and Properties of π-Extended Coumarin-Bearing Triskelions. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27217450. [DOI: 10.3390/molecules27217450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Janus-type triskelion-shaped fluorophores comprising coumarins bearing various electron-donating substituents (1aad, 1add, 1ccd, and 1cdd) were successfully synthesized via an intramolecular Ullmann coupling. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that all the compounds presented two different molecular surfaces, similar to Janus-type molecules. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of asymmetrical derivatives 1aad, 1add, 1ccd, and 1cdd exhibited a bathochromic shift due to their narrow highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) –lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) gap. Natural transition orbital (NTO) analysis indicated that the excited state orbital overlaps differ among the C3 symmetrical and asymmetrical dyes. These triskelion-shaped fluorophores were found to form molecular nanoaggregates in THF/H2O mixtures and demonstrated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) enhancement characteristics as a result of restricting their molecular inversion. These results indicate that Janus-type AIE fluorophores are potentially applicable as solid-state fluorescent chiral materials, which can be optimized by controlling their molecular rearrangement in the solid state.

Abstract
![]()
Eleven conjoined
coumarins possessing a chromeno[3,4-c]chromene-6,7-dione
skeleton have been synthesized via the reaction
of electron-rich phenols with esters of coumarin-3-carboxylic acids,
catalyzed by either Lewis acids or 4-dimethylaminopyridine. Furthermore,
Michael-type addition to angular benzo[f]coumarins
is possible, leading to conjugated helical systems. Arrangement of
the electron-donating amino groups at diverse positions on this heterocyclic
skeleton makes it possible to obtain π-expanded coumarins with
emission either sensitive to, or entirely independent of, solvent
polarity with large Stokes shifts. Computational studies have provided
a rationale for moderate solvatochromic effects unveiling the lack
of collinearity of the dipole moments in the ground and excited states.
Depending on the functional groups present, the obtained dyes are
highly polarized with dipole moments of ∼14 D in the ground
state and ∼20–25 D in the excited state. Strong emission
in nonpolar solvents, in spite of the inclusion of a NO2 group, is rationalized by the fact that the intramolecular charge
transfer introduced into these molecules is strong enough to suppress
intersystem crossing yet weak enough to prevent the formation of dark
twisted intramolecular charge transfer states. Photochemical transformation
of the dye possessing a chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-4,5-dione
scaffold led to the formation of a spirocyclic benzo[g]coumarin.

Abstract
A non-planar π-enlarged coronene-embedded coumarin achieved via pyranone annulation and its cyanated derivative possess bright orange to red emission in both solution and solid states, with scope for bioimaging applications. The multiple redox states, frontier molecular orbital energy levels and strong cofacial π-stacking ability point towards applications in organic optoelectronics.
