Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are an excellent alternative solar cell technology that is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The geometry, reactivity descriptors, light-harvesting efficiency, molecular radii, diffusion coefficient, and excited oxidation state potential of the proposed complex were investigated. The calculations in this study were performed using DFT/TDDFT method with B3LYP functional employed on the Gaussian 09 software package. The calculations were used the 6-311 + + G(d, p) basis set for the C, H, N, O, Cl atoms and the LANL2DZ basis set for the Re atom, with the B3LYP functional.. The balance of hole and electron in this complex has increased the efficiency and lifetime of DSSCs for photovoltaic cell applications. The investigated compound shows that the addition of the TPA substituent marginally changes the geometric structures of the 2, 2'-bipyridine ligand in the T1 state. As EDsubstituents were added to the compound, the energy gap widened and moved from ELUMO (- 2.904 eV) (substituted TPA) to ELUMO (- 3.122 eV) (unsubstituted). In the studying of solvent affects; when the polarity of the solvent decreases, red shifts appears in the lowest energy an absorption and emission band. Good light-harvesting efficiency, molecular radii, diffusion coefficient, excited state oxidation potential, emission quantum yield, and DSSC reorganization energy, the complex is well suited for use as an emitter in dye-sensitized solar cells. Among the investigated complexes mentioned in literature, the proposed complex was a suitable candidate for phosphorescent DSSC.

Exploring the impact of novel thiazole-pyrazole fused benzo-coumarin derivatives on human serum albumin: Synthesis, photophysical properties, anti-cholinergic activity, and interaction studies. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 308:123669. [PMID: 38006865 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
Derivatives of thiazole-pyrazole fused benzo-coumarin compounds were successfully synthesized and characterized, followed by a comprehensive spectroscopic investigation on various photophysical properties in different media. The multipronged approach using steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy pointed out the impact of substitution in the estimated spectroscopic and other physicochemical properties of the systems. Further, the evaluation of anti-acetylcholinesterase (anti-AChE) activity yielded significant insight into the therapeutic potential of the synthesized coumarinyl compounds for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The findings revealed a non-competitive mode of inhibition mechanism, with an estimated IC50 value of 67.72 ± 2.00 nM observed for one of the investigated systems as AChE inhibitor. Notably, this value is even lower than that of an FDA-approved AD drug Donepezil (DON), indicating the enhanced potency of the coumarin derivatives in inhibiting AChE. Interestingly, significant diminution in inhibition was observed in presence of human serum albumin (HSA) as evidenced by the relative increase in IC50 value by 8 ∼ 39 % in different cases, which emphasized the role of albumin proteins to control therapeutic efficacies of potential medications. In-depth spectroscopic and in-silico analysis quantified the nature of interactions of the investigated systems with HSA and AChE. Overall, the outcomes of this study provide significant understanding into the biophysical characteristics of novel thiazole-pyrazole fused benzo-coumarin systems, which could aid in the development of new cholinergic agents for the treatment of AD and materials based on coumarin motifs.

Abstract
Excited state deactivation properties and the effects of solvent hydrogen bonding (HB) on the photophysical behavior of 2,2'-dypyridylamine (DPyA) were investigated by steady state and time-resolved fluorescence experiments, molecular docking, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In addition to the polarity effect, the contributions of solvent HB donation (HBD) acidity and HB acceptance (HBA) basicity to modulate the solvatochromic spectral properties were estimated from multiparametric linear regression analysis using Kamlet-Taft (KT) and Catalán formalisms. The importance of C-N bond torsion, leading to the trans → cis conversion, was manifested by substantial increase in DPyA fluorescence yield in the presence of cyclodextrin (CD) and glycerol. The unusually low fluorescence yield in aqueous medium was explained on the basis of synergistic effect of solvent hydrogen bonding combined with excited state conformational isomerization, which renders DPyA to be an excellent environment sensitive fluorescence reporter. The experimental results were verified with structural insights obtained from DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level and construction of potential energy surface (PES) in the ground state as well as in the excited states.

Abstract
2,2'-Dipyridylamines (dpa) and related compounds belong to the family of polydentate nitrogen ligands. More than a century has passed since their first report but new complexes and applications have been emerging in recent years owing to the versatility of dpa-based architectures. This review aims to present and highlight the main achievements attained with dpa-containing metal complexes in the domains of homogeneous catalysis and luminescent materials.

Abstract
Methylene bridged 2,2'-dipyridylamine (dpa) derivatives and their metal complexes possess outstanding properties due to their inherent structural flexibility. Synthesis of such complexes typically involves derivatization of dpa followed by coordination on metals, and may not always be very efficient. In this work, an alternative synthetic approach, involving the derivatization step after - rather than prior to - coordination of dpa on metal center, is proposed and applied to synthesis of a number of platinum(ii) complexes with substituted benzyldi(2-pyridyl)amines. Comparison with the more conventional synthetic route reveals greater efficiency and versatility of the proposed approach. The obtained complexes are not luminescent in solution at room temperature, but display blue phosphorescence emission (ca. 415 nm) with the lifetimes of μs order in glassy matrix at 77 K, with additional green (ca. 485 nm) and relatively long living (τ = 3.7 ms) emission in the case of iodine substituted derivative.
