Abstract
Small organic molecules with interesting optical and electrochemical properties find applications as organic luminescent materials. In this work, we report the synthesis of novel chalcones with D-A-D and D-A-D-A architecture, followed by their optical, electrochemical, and computational studies. The absorption band of these compounds occurs at 360-480 nm with emission maxima appearing around 513-552 nm. The large Stokes shifts (Δλ) for all compounds (90-132 nm) suggest intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the excited states. The molar absorptivity and fluorescence quantum yields were found to be in the range of 1.7-4.26 × 104 M-1 cm-1 and 0.29-0.39, respectively. The electrochemical parameters were determined by using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of all compounds were made by using B3LYP/G (d,p) functionals in chloroform and were found to have a good correlation with experimental results. Preliminary studies of absorption, photoluminescence, CV, and their theoretical correlation suggest that these compounds may be optimized for their applications in optoelectronics, sensing, and bioimaging.

Abstract
Apigenin is an important flavonoids due to its antidiabetic bioactivity. It was reported experimentally that the 7-substituent derivative of apigenin has higher biological activity than 4'- and 5-substituted derivatives while introducing sole carboxyalkyl group -(CH2)7COOH into the parent structure. Molecular docking studies indicated that the other two derivatives have lower binding affinities than the 7-substituent derivative (-7.52 kcal mol-1), which is considered to be a better inhibitor than the parent molecule. Almost all of the carbon atoms and oxygen atoms are coplaner for all three molecules in solution phase, however, all carboxyalkyl groups bend inside into the parent molecules in the active site, and the jagged geometries of the carbon chains are destroyed correspondingly. In addition, most of the electron densities of the chemical bonds for all molecules are decreased, especially the 7-substituent derivative. In contrast, most of the Laplacian values for three molecules are increased in the active site, which suggests that the charge densities at the bond critical point (bcp) are much more depleted than the solution phase. Dipole moments of derivatives are all increased in the active site, suggesting strong intermolecular interactions. After interacting with the S. cerevisiae α-glucosidase, only the 7-substituent derivative has the lowest energy gap ΔE HOMO-LUMO, which indicates the lowest stability and the highest inhibition activity.
