Abstract
5-(tert-Butyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-isophthalaldehyde (5-tBHI) is a photochromic material susceptible to either excited state proton transfer or excited state intramolecular proton transfer, depending upon the solvent. However, it has also been found to aggregate in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. In this current study, based on the steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, supported by crystallography, quantum chemical density functional theory calculation, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, we report on the aggregation of this potential single benzene-based emitter (SBBE) in neat solvents as well as solid phase to modulate its photophysics. It has been found that 5-tBHI forms mixed aggregates of different orders, owing to the presence of both enolic and tautomeric forms, to yield tunable emission, although the emission intensity is quenched. These findings suggest that the intramolecular hydrogen bonding of 5-tBHI not only limits intermolecular interactions but also promotes nonradiative deactivation pathways. Hence, designing and structural engineering, with a focus to suppressing intramolecular hydrogen bonding as well as increasing through space conjugation by replacing the aldehydic moieties with bulky aliphatic or aromatic ketonic groups, can be a plausible approach to yielding improved probes with tunable emission and higher fluorescence quantum yields.

Abstract
The design, synthesis, and characterization of seven novel steroid-coumarin conjugates with diverse steroidal nuclei as lipophilic fluorescent materials for bioimaging applications are presented. The conjugates were synthesized through amidation, characterized using spectroscopic and spectrometric methods, and their main photophysical properties were determined. Dioxane : water titration experiments revealed their ability to self-assemble, forming J-aggregates as evidenced by new spectral bands at higher wavelengths. Monocrystal X-ray diffraction analysis disclosed distinctive aggregation patterns exhibiting J- or H-aggregates for selected compounds. Bioimaging studies demonstrated cell membrane localization for most conjugates, with some of them displaying an interesting selectivity for lipid droplets. Notably, the presence of the steroid fragments significantly influenced both the self-assembly patterns and the cellular localization of the fluorescent probes.

Liu H, Chang Y, Li Y, Cao C, Li R. Role of Alkyl Chain Length in Surfactant-Induced Precipitation of Reactive Brilliant Blue KN-R. Molecules 2024; 29:619. [PMID: 38338364 PMCID: PMC10856036 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29030619] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
To develop a cost-effective method for the effective removal of reactive brilliant blue KN-R (RBB KN-R) from wastewater, we investigated the interactions between RBB KN-R and three cationic surfactants with different alkyl chain lengths, namely dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB), and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Employing a conductivity analysis, surface tension analysis, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and molecular dynamics simulation, we ascertained that RBB KN-R formed a 1:1 molar ratio dye-surfactant complex with each surfactant through electrostatic attraction. Notably, an augmentation in alkyl chain length correlated with increased binding strength between RBB KN-R and the surfactant. The resulting dye-surfactant complex exhibited heightened surface activity, enabling interactions through hydrophobic forces to generate dye-surfactant aggregates when the molar ratio was below 1:1. Within these mixed aggregates, self-assembly of RBB KN-R molecules occurred, leading to the formation of dye aggregates. Due to the improved hydrophobicity with increased alkyl chain length, TTAB and CTAB could encapsulate dye aggregates within the mixed aggregates, but DTAB could not. The RBB KN-R aggregates tended to distribute on the surface of the RBB KN-R-DTAB mixed aggregates, resulting in low stability. Thus, at a DTAB concentration lower than CMC, insoluble particles readily formed and separated from surfactant aggregates at an RBB KN-R and DTAB molar ratio of 1:4. Analyzing the RBB KN-R precipitate through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and measuring the DTAB concentration in the supernate revealed that, at this molar ratio, all RBB KN-R precipitated from the dye-surfactant mixed solution, with only 7.5 ± 0.5% of DTAB present in the precipitate. Furthermore, the removal ratio of RBB KN-R reached nearly 100% within a pH range of 1.0 to 9.0 and standing time of 6 h. The salt type and concentration did not significantly affect the precipitation process. Therefore, this simultaneous achievement of successful RBB KN-R removal and effective separation from DTAB underscores the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Abstract
The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) processes of coumarin 307 (C307) in different solvents were investigated by performing steady-state/time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopic and steady-state photoluminescence spectroscopic characterizations in combination with time-dependent density functional theoretical calculation (TDDFT). The study unveiled the remarkable influence of solvent polarity and the strength of intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed between the solutes and solvents on the relaxation dynamics of the electronic excited state. Significantly, the emergence of the TICT state was observed in polar solvents, specifically dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxidemethanol (DMSO), owing to their inherent polarity as well as the enhanced intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. Interestingly, even in a weak polar solvent such as methanol (MeOH), the TICT state was also observed due to the intensified hydrogen bonding effects. Conversely, nonpolar solvents, exemplified by 1,4-dioxane (Diox), resulted in the stabilization of the ICT state due to the augmented N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding interactions. The experimental findings were corroborated by the computational calculations, thus ensuring the reliability of the conclusions drawn. Furthermore, schematic diagrams were presented to illustrate the mechanisms underlying the excited-state deactivation. Overall, this investigation contributes valuable mechanistic insights and provides a comprehensive understanding of the photochemical and photophysical properties exhibited by coumarin dyes.

Abstract
Understanding and controlling exciton coupling in dye aggregates has become a greater focus as potential applications such as coherent exciton devices, nanophotonics, and biosensing have been proposed. DNA nanostructure templates allow for a powerful modular approach. Using DNA Holliday junction (HJ) templates variations of dye combinations and precision dye positions can be rapidly assayed, as well as creating aggregates of dyes that could not be prepared (either due to excess or lack of solubility) through alternative means. Indodicarbocyanines (Cy5) have been studied in coupled systems due to their large transition dipole moment, which contributes to strong coupling. Cy5-R dyes were recently prepared by chemically modifying the 5,5'-substituents of indole rings, resulting in varying dye hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, steric considerations, and electron-donating/withdrawing character. We utilized Cy5-R dyes to examine the formation and properties of 30 unique DNA templated homodimers. We find that in our system the sterics of Cy5-R dyes play the determining factor in orientation and coupling strength of dimers, with coupling strengths ranging from 50-138 meV. The hydrophobic properties of the Cy5-R modify the percentage of dimers formed, and have a secondary role in determining the packing characteristics of the dimers when sterics are equivalent. Similar to other reports, we find that positioning of the Cy5-R within the HJ template can favor particular dimer interactions, specifically oblique or H-type dimers.

Abstract
In this study we have investigated 2-ethylamino-4-nitro-6-methyl pyridine N-oxide (2E6M) molecule that belongs to important group of Proton Coupled Electron Transfer (PCET) compounds where both the charge transfer (CT) and proton transfer processes in excited states may proceed. In this case, this is possible due to the donors and acceptors of electrons and protons in this system, as well as due to the presence of intramolecular {N-H… O [2,566(3) Å}, hydrogen bond.Using stationary and time-resolved spectroscopy, as well as quantum chemical calculations on the DFT and TD DFT B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level of theory, a partial CT nature of the S0 → S1 transition in both tautomeric forms (N and T) has been revealed. Additionally, the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process shown to be more favorable in apolar and weakly polar solvents than in strongly polar acetonitrile (EN(S1) > ET(S1). The displacement of charge from the amine group and the ring to the nitro group has been observed on the changing shapes of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals involved in this transition what further quantitatively allowed to realize the increase in the dipole moment of both forms in the electronic excited state. The calculations show that in two solvents with radically different polarity (heptane, acetonitrile), dipole moments of both forms are very similar [in acetonitrile uN(S1) and uT(S1) are 11.0 D and 11.5 D, respectively]. Hence, in polar media both forms can be stabilized in a comparable manner. This made it difficult for us to assign a single fluorescent band in acetonitrile to one of the tautomeric forms. However, it seems that due to application of time-resolved spectroscopy, this problem has been clarified. The TCSPC decay curve in acetonitrile with an ultrafast lifetime assigned to the (N) form, along with the femtosecond up-conversion signals that demonstrated only an ultrafast decay without any rise-time of a new excited (T) species, allowed us to conclude that in 2E6M in strongly polar solvent the ESIPT does not occur.The unique fluorescence band origins from the (N) form. In protic solvents, the significant kinetic isotopic effects have provided us with conclusive evidence for the presence of the solvent-assisted ESIPT process. Furthermore, it was noticed that the fluorescence lifetime in D2O (100-120 fs) estimated from the up-conversion signals is about 40 times shorter relative to methanol. This may suggest that the sine qua non for the ESIPT process in 2E6M in protic solvents is the formation of a complex with a solvent molecule in the hydrogen bridge between the proton donor and proton acceptor, respectively.

Abstract
Steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic studies demonstrate that two members of the coumarin class of dyes, coumarin 7 (C7) and coumarin 30 (C30), undergo self-aggregation in water. The development of hypsochromically shifted new absorption bands in addition to the existing monomer bands with an increase in concentration of the dyes in an aqueous medium suggests that the aggregates are of H-type. An absorption-based kinetic study reveals that the rate of aggregation of C30 is an order of magnitude faster than that of C7. Second-order rate kinetics, as obtained from the half-life (t1/2) data, implies that the aggregates are dimeric in nature. Observations of isosbestic points in area-normalized absorption spectra (ANAS) and isoemissive points in area-normalized fluorescence excitation spectra (ANFES) and time-resolved area-normalized emission spectra (TRANES) establish that ground-state monomer ⇌ dimer equilibria for both of the systems are preserved in the photoexcited state. The present study further establishes that β-cyclodextrin is the most efficient of the three common cyclodextrins in shifting the equilibria toward the monomer by encapsulating the monomers within its cavity, making β-CD a convenient modulator to control the self-aggregation process. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), quantum chemical calculations, and molecular docking studies provide further support to our propositions.

Abstract
The aggregation of dyes is a common phenomenon in solutions, particularly concentrated solutions, which seriously affects the dyeing and printing processes. In this study, the effects of alkylamine solvents on the reactive dye aggregation behavior in highly concentrated solutions was studied. Typical cases were conducted with two slightly toxic and environmentally friendly solvents, namely diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA), and two reactive dyes, namely C. I. Reactive Red 218 (R-218) and C. I. Reactive Orange 13 (O-13). Aggregation states were studied by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, Gaussian-peak-fitting method and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that both the additives DEA and TEA could reduce the dye aggregation because the solvents, DEA and TEA, can break the iceberg structure and allow easy entry of the molecules into the dye aggregates. Also, the disaggregation caused by DEA was higher as compared with TEA, which may be caused by the weaker hydrogen bond and the relatively smaller steric hindrance effects of DEA. The schematic of disaggregation between R-218 and DEA was also discussed. For R-218, the dimers were disaggregated to monomer, while the higher-ordered aggregates were disaggregated to trimers and dimers for O-13. Moreover, physical properties such as viscosity and surface tension of the solutions were measured. This investigation is instructive for the further dyeing progress with organic bases in the textile industries.

Abstract
Fecal matter is considered to be one of the primary sources of water pollution. Understanding the aggregation behavior of the fecal pigments (FPs) could play a critical role in their detection and analysis. This work shows that in aqueous media, the fluorescence of FPs indicates the presence of multiple emitting species, which have been assigned to monomers, lower-order H-aggregates (dimers), and higher-order H-aggregates. Steady-state absorbance, fluorescence and time-resolved fluorescence decay studies conclude that the emission of FPs in aqueous medium indicates H-type of aggregation, even up to nanomolar and sub-nanomolar concentrations. Four sets of independent experiments involving the variation of (i) concentration of FPs, (ii) temperature, (iii) pH, and (iv) ethanol/water composition as solvent media suggest the presence of monomer (540 nm), dimer (516 nm), and higher-order aggregates (500 nm) of FPs in aqueous solutions. The dimeric FP species appear to be present in the entire concentration range of 1 pM to 1 μM. Fluorescence lifetimes of H-aggregates are relatively longer as compared to the corresponding monomers. Hydrogen bonding appears to play an important role in forming H-aggregates in the aqueous phase of FPs as observed in the IR spectra of the FPs in dichloromethane. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the B3LYP functional and the LANL2DZ basis set show the contributions of π-π stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions toward the formation of H-aggregated dimer of FPs in aqueous media.

Abstract
Protein oligomers, which are formed due to the aggregation of protein molecules under physiological stress, are neurotoxic and responsible for several neurological diseases. Early detection of protein oligomers is essential for the timely intervention in the associated diseases. Although several probes have been developed for the detection of insoluble matured protein fibrils, fluorescent probes with emission in the near infrared (NIR) region for probing protein oligomers are very rare. In the present study we have designed and synthesized a glucose-conjugated BODIPY dye with emission in the NIR spectral range. Our detailed studies show that the new probe is not only capable of detecting matured fibrils but can also probe the formation of oligomers from the native protein. The new probe shows a large increase in its emission intensity upon association with oligomers and matured fibrils. Hence, the present probe has a great potential for the in vivo imaging of protein oligomers and matured fibrils. Detailed spectroscopic properties of the new probes in molecular solvents have been performed to understand its oligomers- and fibril- sensing mechanism.

Abstract
Despite the promise of nanomedicine in the fight against complex diseases, the enthusiasm for its pharmaceutical development is backed by the elevated costs associated with the R&D process. Therefore, as a compromise solution, nanotechnology was mainly applied as a drug delivery system to improve bioavailability and controllability of pharmaceutical drugs. Attempting to break the restrictions without elevating potential costs, we multiply the functions of excipients in the nanodelivery system by endowing subcellular-targeting ability. To prove the concept, fluorescent endoplasmic reticulum-targeted short peptides were covalently connected to chemotherapy medication chlorambucil achieving enhanced drug-loading efficiency. Via visualized intracellular dynamic enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis, the ER-targeting excipient and nucleus-targeting chlorambucil are released simultaneously, achieving a synergistic anticancer effect and elucidating the influence of intracellular self-assembly transition on enzymatic reactions.

Abstract
Transfecting nucleic acids into various cells is a key procedure in biological research also envisioned for therapeutic applications. In our effort to obtain simple reagents that would be readily accessible from commercial building blocks, we recently reported peptide dendrimers as single component siRNA transfection reagents accessible in pure form by solid-phase peptide synthesis. Here, we extend our studies of these dendrimers by identifying analogs bearing a coumarin or BODIPY fluorescent label in their core and displaying comparable siRNA transfection efficiencies, pH dependent aggregation, siRNA binding, and secondary structures. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies show that the dendrimers are tightly associated with siRNA within the formed nanoparticles at pH 7.4 but are released into solution at pH 5.0 and can participate in endosome escape by destabilizing the membrane at this pH value. Colocalization studies furthermore suggest that peptide dendrimers and siRNA remain tightly associated throughout the transfection process.

Abstract
The aggregation structure of dye molecules has a great influence on the properties of dye solutions, especially in high concentration. Here, the dye molecular aggregation structures were investigated systemically in aqueous solutions with high concentration using three reactive dyes (O-13, R-24:1 and R-218). O-13 showed stronger aggregation than R-24:1 and R-218. This is because of the small non-conjugate side chain and its β-linked position on the naphthalene of O-13. Compared with R-218, R-24:1 showed relatively weaker aggregation due to the good solution of R-24:1. The change of different aggregate distributions in the solutions were also investigated by splitting the absorption curves. Moreover, it is found that the surface tension of solutions can be modified by the combined effect of both aggregation and the position of the hydrophilic group, which, however, also have an effect on viscosity. This exploration will provide guidance for the study of high concentration solutions.

Abstract
Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to study a solution comprised of coumarin 153 (C153)+ trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([P6,6,6,14]+ [Tf2N]−)+ supercritical CO2 (scCO2). We compare the spectroscopy of C153 in neat scCO2 to that of C153/scCO2 with the addition of ionic liquid (IL). Excitation and emission peak frequencies of C153 in scCO2 and in IL/scCO2 diverged at reduced densities (ρr = ρ/ρc) below the CO2 critical density. At low fluid density, spectral changes in the IL/scCO2 solutions showed evidence that C153 experiences a very different microenvironment—one that is unlike neat scCO2. The data show that the presence of IL clearly influences the C153 excitation and emission profiles. Excitation was broadened and red shifted by >2000 cm−1 and the presence of an additional low-energy emission component that was red shifted by ~3000 cm−1 was clearly visible and not observed in neat scCO2. The solution heterogeneity was controlled by changing the scCO2 density and at high fluid density, both the excitation and emission spectra were more similar to those in neat scCO2. Steady-state anisotropy also showed that at low fluid density, the C153 emission was significantly polarized. Aggregation of C153 has been reported in the literature and this led us to hypothesize the possibility that C153 dimer (aggregation) formation may be occurring in scCO2. Another possible explanation is that dye–IL aggregates may dissolve into the scCO2 phase due to C153 acting as a “co-solvent” for the IL. Time-resolved intensity decay measurements yielded only slightly non-exponential decays with accompanying time constants of ~3–4 ns that were significantly shorter than the 5–6 ns time constants in neat scCO2, which are suggestive of C153–IL interactions. However, these data did not conclusively support dimer formation. Pre-exponential factors of the time constants showed that almost all of the emission was due to monomeric C153.

Abstract
The twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state plays an important role in determining the performance of optoelectronic devices. However, for some nonfluorescent TICT molecules, the "invisible" TICT state could only be visualized by modifying the molecular structure. Here, we introduce a new facile pressure-induced approach to light up the TICT state through the use of a pressure-related liquid-solid phase transition of the surrounding solvent. Combining ultrafast spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations, it reveals that the "invisible" TICT state can emit fluorescence when the rotation of a donor group is restricted by the frozen acetonitrile solution. Furthermore, the TICT process can even be effectively regulated by the external pressure. Our study offers a unique strategy to achieve dual fluorescence behavior in charge transfer molecules and is of significance for optoelectronic and biomedical applications.

Abstract
The photophysical properties of a newly synthesized unsymmetrically substituted zinc phthalocyanine derivative (1) bearing in its peripheral positions six n-hexylsulfanyl substituents and one amino-terminated n-hexylsulfanyl substituent were investigated. This mono-amino phthalocyanine exhibited a high tendency to form H-type aggregates in all of the investigated solvents: dichloromethane (DCM), tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Several species of H-aggregates were present together in relatively broad concentration ranges in THF and DCM, whereas in DMSO they were observed separately depending on the concentration used. Despite the widely accepted non-emissive character of H-type dimers, the H-type aggregates of phthalocyanine 1 were highly emissive in all solvents: the fluorescence quantum yield in DMSO for the n-aggregate is equal to 0.05, whereas for the (n + 1)-aggregate it is 0.11. Upon (n + 1)-aggregation, the fluorescence lifetime of the n-aggregate increased from ca. 2.5 ns to 3.3 ns. Based on these results, the radiative lifetimes of both species were computed: 48 ns for the n-aggregate and 29 ns for the (n + 1)-aggregate. The determined oscillator strengths for the n-aggregate and the (n + 1)-aggregate in DMSO were 0.04 and 0.12, respectively. The observed emission of the H-type (n + 1)-aggregate was assigned to the radiative transition from the upper exciton state to the ground state, which could be rationalized by a constant thermal repopulation of the upper exciton state. The experimental findings were supported by theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Thiazole orange (TO) exists mainly as a monomer in aqueous medium, where its fluorescence is negligibly small due to intramolecular movements. In the present study, it has been shown that in presence of giant unilamellar vesicles, produced from anionic lipid molecules, TO prefers to form H-dimer and H-aggregates at low lipid concentrations. The nonfluorescent form of TO (monomer) starts fluorescing in the aggregated or dimeric forms. At higher 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) concentration, the TO aggregates disintegrate to the monomeric variants. This is principally due to generation of more surface of residence for the TO molecules. The dye molecules/aggregates reside on the outer surface as well as percolate inside the lipid vesicles toward the inner water pool due to the presence of anionic charges at the interface. We adopted fluorescence lifetime imaging to find out the heterogeneity in photophysics of the different forms of TO inside the lipid vesicles supported by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to characterize the formation or disintegration of the TO aggregates.

Abstract
Fatty acids are known to form different supramolecular aggregates in aqueous solutions depending on the pH of the medium. The dynamics of the transformation of oleate micelles into oleic acid/oleate vesicles has been investigated using a pH-sensitive intramolecular proton transfer fluorophore, 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-diol [BP(OH)2]. Different prototropic forms of BP(OH)2 exist in different pH values of the system, and thus, the ground state and the excited state dynamics of BP(OH)2 have been modulated in these confined media. The formation of different tautomeric forms of BP(OH)2 in oleate micelles (at basic pH) is confirmed using time-resolved emission spectra and fluorescence anisotropy measurements. The hydrophobic environment provided by these assemblies reduces the water-assisted nonradiative decay channels and lengthens the fluorescence lifetime of BP(OH)2. The rotational relaxation time in the micellar assembly is higher than that in the vesicle, which may be due to the higher microviscosity sensed by the fluorophore in the micelle. Besides, we have shown for the first time that BP(OH)2 can be used as a membrane-bound fluorophore, using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). A broad distribution in the size of the vesicle is observed from the FLIM image. Further, we have used multiwavelength FLIM to collect the FLIM images of a single vesicle at different emission wavelengths, and the lifetime distribution obtained from the FLIM images at different emission wavelengths in a single vesicle correlates well with the lifetime values obtained from the ensemble average measurements in the bulk solution.

Abstract
Photophysical studies have been carried out to explore the aggregation behavior of coumarin-153 (C153) dye in polar organic solvents of both aprotic and protic nature, namely acetonitrile (ACN) and ethanol (EtOH). No unusual behavior is observed in aprotic ACN solvent, suggesting only the monomers of the dye as the single emitting species in the solution. In protic EtOH solvent, however, the dye shows the presence of multiple emitting species in the solution. The concentration-, temperature- and wavelength-dependent changes in the fluorescence decays, and the time-resolved emission spectra (TRES) and area-normalized emission spectra (TRANES) suggest the coexistence of dye aggregates along with the dye monomers in the EtOH solution. Observed results indicate that the emission spectra of the aggregates are substantially blue-shifted compared to the spectra of the monomers, suggesting the H-aggregation of the dye in the present cases. Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy, ultrafast fluorescence up-conversion measurements and scanning electron microscopy studies support the aggregation of the dye in EtOH solution. Strong dipole-dipole interaction is supposedly responsible for the aggregation of C153 dye (dipole moment ∼6.4 D) and the polar protic solvent EtOH apparently stabilizes the aggregates through solute-solvent hydrogen bonding interaction, which is not possible in aprotic ACN solvent. This is further supported by the time-resolved fluorescence results in a strongly hydrogen bond donating solvent, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. Aggregation of C153 dye observed in the present study in polar protic organic solvent is an intriguing finding, as the dye is widely used as a fluorescent probe for various photochemical studies, where overlooking such aggregation will definitely mislead the observed results.

Abstract
The photophysics of a hydrophilic molecule, 7-(diethylamino)-coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (7-DCCA), was studied in the presence of two macrocycles, (2-hydroxypropyl)-γ-cyclodextrin and cucurbit[7]uril. We have used steady-state absorption, fluorescence, and time-resolved fluorescence emission spectroscopy; Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy; (1)H NMR spectroscopy; and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to confirm the supramolecular host-guest complex formation. The spectral properties of 7-DCCA were modulated in the presence of both macrocycles. It was assigned that 7-DCCA forms a 1:2 complex with (2-hydroxypropyl)-γ-cyclodextrin and cucurbit[7]uril. The large modulation of the emission properties of 7-DCCA in the presence of the macrocycles indicates the formation of supramolecular complexes. A significant shift in the bond vibration frequencies in the FTIR studies showed encapsulation of the dyes in the hydrophobic cavity of the macrocycles. This is further substantiated by the (1)H NMR studies, in which the upfield and downfield shifts of the protons were observed in both the aliphatic and aromatic region in the presence of macrocycles. The time-resolved anisotropy measurements further reinforce the conception of host-guest supramolecular complex formation because, in both cases, the rotational relaxation time increases significantly compared to that in water. A deeper understanding between the differences in interaction of an anionic molecule with cucurbit[7]uril and (2-hydroxypropyl)-γ-cyclodextrin will be achieved through this work. From the ITC measurement, we have formulated the forces due to complex formation.

Abstract
This study reported the photophysics of 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxylic acid N-succinimidyl ester (7-DCCAE) in different neat solvents of varying polarity using steady-state absorption, fluorescence emission and picosecond time-resolved spectroscopy. In nonpolar solvents, the dye molecule predominantly exists in nonpolar structure and exhibits very low value of nonradiative decay rate constant (k(nr)), demonstrating the emission takes place from S(1) -LE to S(0) ground state. The fluorescence quantum yields, lifetime values of 7-DCCAE in different solvents are rationalized on the basis of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) followed by twisted intramolecular charge transfer state formation (TICT) as well as specific solute-solvent interactions. Several solvatochromic models (such as Lippert, Dimroth, Kamlet-Taft, Catalán 3P and Catalán 4P models) were used to analyze the solvatochromic shift of 7-DCCAE in different solvents. The different empirical models show that the observed results are better correlate for nonchlorinated solvents and provide statistically significant best-fit result. A comparison was done between comparatively new solvatochromic model (Catalán 3P and Catalán 4P model) with Kamlet-Taft model. The ground state structure of the said molecule was optimized by using Density Functional Theory (DFT).

Abstract
Coumarin-481 (C481) dye shows intriguing time-resolved (TR) fluorescence behavior in polar organic solvents of both protic and aprotic nature, namely, ethanol (EtOH) and acetonitrile (ACN), demonstrating the presence of multiple emitting species in the solution. Following concentration-dependent and wavelength-dependent TR fluorescence measurements and the time-resolved emission spectra (TRES) and time-resolved area-normalized emission spectra (TRANES) subsequently constructed using wavelength dependent decay parameters, we convincingly conclude that in the studied solvents a part of the dissolved dye undergoes H-type of aggregation, even at a very low dye concentration. This is quite an unusual finding because the dye C481 apparently shows reasonably good solubility in these organic solvents. As the TR measurements indicate, major contribution in the fluorescence decays is due to monomeric dye, having reasonably short lifetime (∼0.64-0.68 ns), which is in accordance with the conversion of fluorescent intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state to nonfluorescent twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state suggested for the dye in high polarity solvents, causing an efficient nonradiative deexcitation. The minor contributions arising from the aggregated dyes show its clear presence in the decays at the blue edge of the emission spectra and have relatively longer lifetimes (∼1.2-5.2 ns) because the steric hindrance caused by the stacked dyes resists the ICT to TICT conversion. Aggregation of C481 dye as observed in the present study in polar organic solvents is an intriguing finding, as the dye is a widely used fluorescent probe for various photochemical studies, where overlooking such aggregation can mislead the observed results.

Abstract
The photophysical properties of 7-(dimethylamino)coumarin-3-carbaldehyde 3 and its phenylsemicarbazone 4 were investigated in solvents of various polarity and in differing solvent mixtures. The different fluorescent quantum yield (ΦF) behavior of 3 and 4 in highly polar solvents is discussed in terms of Twisted Intramolecular Charge-Tranfer (TICT) state formation and the specific solute-solvent interactions. Because of the weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding ability of both the radiative ICT and nonradiative TICT excited state of 3 and the linear steep decrease in ΦF from a medium to high polarity region, coumarin 3 could be a useful polarity probe for microenvironments containing hydrogen bonding groups. Compared to 3, coumarin 4 exhibits the highest ΦF values in highly polar solvents with strong hydrogen bond acceptor ability. The high quantum yield of fluorescence in DMSO, DMF, and alcohols qualifies coumarin 4 as a laser dye in the given medium, with kF higher than k(nr). Contrary to previous reports that many H-aggregates are nonfluorescent in nature, coumarin 3 forms highly fluorescent H-aggregates in MeOH and EtOH. On the basis of the restrictions of the Kasha-exciton theory model, we assume that the formation of fluorescent H-dimer aggregates of 3 is driven by π(+)-π(-) interactions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on aggregation of coumarin dye in alcoholic solutions. In addition, restrictions in the fitting procedure relating to determination of the solvation number, n, using the Covington-Newman model of preferential solvation and also the solvent nonideality parameter, h', are discussed in this article.

Synthesis and antibacterial activities of novel 4-hydroxy-7-hydroxy- and 3-carboxycoumarin derivatives. Molecules 2012; 17:10846-63. [PMID: 22964501 PMCID: PMC6268400 DOI: 10.3390/molecules170910846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2012] [Revised: 08/20/2012] [Accepted: 09/03/2012] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Coumarin derivatives are used as fluorescent dyes and medicines. They also have some notable physiological effects, including the acute hepatoxicity and carcinogenicity of certain aflatoxins, the anticoagulant action of dicoumarol, and the antibiotic activity of novobicin and coumerymycin A1. Because the number of drug resistant strains is increasing at present, the synthesis of new antibacterial compounds is one of the critical methods for treating infectious diseases. Therefore, a series of coumarin-substituted derivatives, namely 4-hydroxy- and 7-hydroxycoumarins, and 3-carboxycoumarins were synthesized. 4-Hydroxycoumarin derivatives 4a–c underwent rearrangement reactions. Both 4- and 7-hydroxycoumarins were treated with activated aziridines which produced series of ring-opened products 7, 8, 10, and 11. 3-Carboxy-coumarin amide dimer derivatives 14–21 were prepared by reacting aliphatic alkylamines and alkyldiamines with PyBOP and DIEA. In this study, we use a new technique called modified micro-plate antibiotic susceptibility test method (MMAST), which is more convenient, more efficient, and more accurate than previous methods and only a small amount of the sample is required for the test. Some of the compounds were produced by reactions with acid anhydrides and demonstrated the ability to inhibit Gram-positive microorganisms. The dimer derivatives displayed lower antibacterial activities.
