Abstract
Solvent effects on the UV-vis spectra of 3-hydroxyflavone and other structurally related molecules (3-hydroxychromen-4-one, 3-hydroxy-4-pyrone, and 4-pyrone) have been studied by combining time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and the polarizable continuum method (PCM). Among the first five excited states of the four considered molecules, electronic states of n → π* and π → π* nature appear. In general, the stability of the n → π* states decreases as the π space becomes larger in such a way that only for 4-pyrone and 3-hydroxy-4-pyrone are they the first excited states. In addition, they become less stabilized in ethanol solution than the ground state, and this causes blueshift transitions in solution. The opposite trend is found for the π → π* excited states. They are less energetic with the π-system size and when passing from gas phase to solution. The solvent shift also depends strongly on the size of the π systems and on the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond; thus, it decreases when going from 4-pyrone to 3-hydroxyflavone. The performance of the three versions (cLR, cLR2, and IBSF) of the specific-state PCM method in predicting transition energies are compared.

Abstract
Excited-state chemistry relies on the communication between molecules, making it a crucial aspect of the field. One important question that arises is whether intermolecular communication and its rate can be modified when a molecule is confined. To explore the interaction in such systems, we investigated the ground and excited states of 4'-N,N-diethylaminoflavonol (DEA3HF) in an octa acid-based (OA) confined medium and in ethanolic solution, both in the presence of Rhodamine 6G (R6G). Despite the observed spectral overlap between the flavonol emission and the R6G absorption, as well as the fluorescence quenching of the flavonol in the presence of R6G, the almost constant fluorescence lifetime at different amounts of R6G discards the presence of FRET in the studied systems. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence indicate the formation of an emissive complex between the proton transfer dye encapsulated within water-soluble supramolecular host octa acid (DEA3HF@(OA)2) and R6G. A similar result was observed between DEA3HF:R6G in ethanolic solution. The respective Stern-Volmer plots corroborate with these observations, suggesting a static quenching mechanism for both systems.

Abstract
The 3-hydroxyflavone (3-HF) is one of the common fluorescence probes. It has two distinct fluorescence bands: normal form and tautomer form. However, 3-hydroxyflavone has poor performance in water because of hydrogen bonding perturbation. The utilization of supramolecular chemistry would improve the fluorescence performance of 3-hydroxyflavone in water. In this paper, it reviews supramolecular chemistry of 3-hydroxyflavone with cyclodextrin and octa acid. Past research has found that the addition of β-cyclodextrin to 3-hydroxyflavone in water would slightly improve the fluorescence intensity of the tautomer form. When adding γ-cyclodextrin to 3-hydroxyflavone in water, the green fluorescence intensity would be enhanced. Finally, the addition of octa acid creates a dry environment for the 3-hydroxyflavone, and it would only have a tautomer form. The ONIOM calculation shows the ways of self-assembly of β- and γ-cyclodextrin. It can explain the difference in ratio between the tautomer form and normal form after understanding the interaction.

Abstract
The excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes and photophysical features of 3-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzaldehyde (BOHMB) and 3-(benzo[d]selenazole-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzaldehyde (BSeHMB) molecules were investigated in detail by using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods. The strengthened excited state hydrogen bonds (H-bond) of the title compounds are favorable to ESIPT process according to the analyses of structural parameter, infrared vibration frequency, electron density and reduced density gradient. The atomic substitution changes the intramolecular H-bond O1-H2…O3 and O1-H2…N4 and the fluorescence emission peaks of BOHMB-N and BSeHMB-N in normal and tautomer forms. The potential energy curves indicate that the ESIPT energy barriers of BOHMB-O, BTHMB-O and BSeHMB-O increase as the electron-withdrawing abilities of atoms (from O to S and Se) are gradually weakened. However, the ESIPT energy barriers of BOHMB-N and BTHMB-N follow the totally opposite order. For BOHMB and BSeHMB, ESIPT process prefers to occur in the direction from O-H group to the O atom.

Abstract
A naphthylthioic-based emissive probe (M) bearing a hydroxyl and amine group was designed and synthesized via a one-step Schiff base reaction process. The probe was characterized spectroscopically using 1H NMR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrophotometers. The probe turned out to be spectroscopically and colorimetrically selective and sensitive to multiple cations and anions. Interestingly, the probe displayed characteristics of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)-driven dual emissive channels; experiencing fluorescence enhancement upon the molar additions of Al3+ as well as the anions used, events presumably ascribed to chelation fluorescence enhancement (CHEF), hydrogen bonding and deprotonation effects. Moreover, the fluorometric titration with Hg2+ resulted in ratiometric spectral behaviors of M, with the disappearance of the peak at 450 nm, concomitant with the appearance of a new peak at 520 nm, distinguished by a clear isosbestic point, the same behaviors exhibited by Sn2+ and Ag+ analytes towards M. The introduction of all other cations used, resulted in fluorescence quenching, attributable to chelation enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ), thereby inhibiting the ESIPT process. The experiments were all carried out in the aqueous environment medium of DMSO–H2O (9 : 1) at ambient temperature. Theoretical density functional theory calculations were carried out to gain insight into the interaction of M with cations and anions, and their influence on the HOMO–LUMO energy gaps. A naphthylthioic-based emissive probe (M) bearing a hydroxyl and amine group was designed and synthesized via a one-step Schiff base reaction process.![]()

Effect of Water Microsolvation on the Excited-State Proton Transfer of 3-Hydroxyflavone Enclosed in γ-Cyclodextrin. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26040843.

Abstract
The effect of microsolvation on excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) reaction of 3-hydroxyflavone (3HF) and its inclusion complex with γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) was studied using computational approaches. From molecular dynamics simulations, two possible inclusion complexes formed by the chromone ring (C-ring, Form I) and the phenyl ring (P-ring, Form II) of 3HF insertion to γ-CD were observed. Form II is likely more stable because of lower fluctuation of 3HF inside the hydrophobic cavity and lower water accessibility to the encapsulated 3HF. Next, the conformation analysis of these models in the ground (S0) and the first excited (S1) states was carried out by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations, respectively, to reveal the photophysical properties of 3HF influenced by the γ-CD. The results show that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding (interHB) between 3HF and γ-CD, and intramolecular hydrogen bonding (intraHB) within 3HF are strengthened in the S1 state confirmed by the shorter interHB and intraHB distances and the red-shift of O–H vibrational modes involving in the ESPT process. The simulated absorption and emission spectra are in good agreement with the experimental data. Significantly, in the S1 state, the keto form of 3HF is stabilized by γ-CD, explaining the increased quantum yield of keto emission of 3HF when complexing with γ-CD in the experiment. In the other word, ESPT of 3HF is more favorable in the γ-CD hydrophobic cavity than in aqueous solution.

Abstract
In this work, we investigated for the first time morin in MeOH at different pH values by picosecond time-resolved fluorescence. We identified the two species responsible for the fluorescence at low and high pH. The solvated morin-solvent hydrogen-bonded complex has been experimentally observed for the first time. We give also the typical fluorescence spectra as well as the fluorescence lifetimes of the probable emitting species. In this work we put forward new insights concerning the contribution of free morin to the fluorescence. We hope that these new data improve the accuracy of the interpretation of the cation:morin complexes titration using fluorescence signal.

Abstract
The fluorescence properties of 4'-diethylamino-3-hydroxyflavone (FET), a dye probe sensitive to the polarity as well as the hydrogen bonding ability of its environment, have been studied in acetone-water mixtures by measuring spectra and decay curves over the whole composition range and analyzing the results on the basis of theoretical calculations. In acetone, like in most of organic solvents, the dye showed dual fluorescence, due to an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), in which a quasi-equilibrium between the two excited species, N* and T*, was reached. In acetone-water mixtures with lower molar fractions of water, where the water molecules are largely dispersed, only one type of hydrate could be detected, a complex with 1:1 composition, showing only N* emission, but with a high (0.45) fluorescence quantum yield. At higher water concentrations, the interaction of FET with the hydrogen-bonded water clusters resulted in fluorescence quenching. In neat water the fluorescence quantum yield fell to ~0.001. Theoretical calculations on a FET-acetone complex, a FET-water complex and a FET-water-acetone triple complex (the latter as model for the samples with low water concentrations) concluded that ESIPT was energetically favored in all the models, but the E(N*)-E(T*) energy difference for the water complexes was much lower. The kinetic barrier of ESIPT was found greatly higher in the FET-water complex than in the isolated solute. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the water complexes became significantly stronger following the excitation, stabilizing the N* form of the hydrated dye.

Abstract
A detailed account on the photophysics of 3-hydroxyflavone (3HF) in 27 organic solvents is reported. Dual fluorescence of neutral 3HF was observed in protic, polar, and weakly polar solvents, endowed with sufficiently high hydrogen bond accepting and/or donating capabilities. Ground-state solvent-induced 3HF deprotonation was reported in 14 cases. 3HF anion photophysics was investigated, and the deprotonation constant Kdep calculated. Previously reported models (based on solute-solvent intermolecular hydrogen bonds) to explain solvent effects on Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) and on solvent-induced deprotonation have been re-examined and improved in order to rationalize the observed photophysical behaviour in all the studied solvents. Hydrogen bond donor acidity and hydrogen bond acceptor basicity are shown to be key parameters. The results are discussed in the framework of the use of 3HF as an environment-sensitive fluorescent sensor in several research fields, and as a model system in the study of ESIPT reactions. Solvent effects on 3HF reactivity are also discussed, as the role of the surrounding media on the chemistry of flavonols is an emerging topic in natural product research.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles are increasingly used as biocompatible carriers for drugs and imaging agents. Understanding their self-assembly dynamics and morphology is of ultimate importance to develop nanoformulations with optimal characteristics. To achieve better performance, it is vital to account for cargo-carrier interactions at the molecular level. The self-assembly dynamics were studied and the internal structure of nanoparticles derived from a series of hydrophobically modified hyaluronic acid was revealed. Environment-sensitive ratiometric fluorescent probes provide valuable information about the nanoparticle's interior morphology, and molecular dynamics simulations complement the overall picture with insights into intramolecular and intermolecular interactions of the polymer, as well as its interactions with the small-molecule load. van der Waals and π-π interactions of the hydrophobic side fragments play a leading role in self-assembly and loading of hydrophobic small molecules. Aliphatic substituents form more extensive hydrophobic domains, while aromatic moieties allow more interaction of the loaded small molecules with the surrounding solvent.

Abstract
3-Hydroxyflavone derivatives have great potential as fluorescent probes for bio-labeling in aqueous medium. They were extensively studied in various organic solvents for the "excited state intramolecular proton transfer" process, but seldom addressed in aqueous solution due to the poor water solubility. Herein, an amphiphilic molecule bearing 3-hydroxyflavone and oligo(ethylene oxide) (denoted as 3HF-EO) was designed and synthesized. Different from the fluorescence in organic solvents, 3HF-EO in aqueous solution showed a remarkable single fluorescence emission, which is ascribed to the fluorescence of its anionic species. We found that the fluorescence intensity could be efficiently tuned via host-guest complexation. α-CD has little effect on the emission, while β-CD and γ-CD lead to enhanced and reduced emissions of 3HF-EO, respectively. The 1H NMR and 2D NOESY NMR spectra indicate that α-CD barely had any interaction with 3HF-EO, while β-CD and γ-CD formed complexes with one and two 3HF-EO molecules, respectively. These results provide a sound explanation for the modulated fluorescence intensity.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable identification of pathogenic microorganisms is of great importance for human and animal health. Most conventional approaches are time-consuming and require expensive reagents, sophisticated equipment, trained personnel, and special storage and handling conditions. Sensor arrays based on small molecules offer a chemically stable and cost-effective alternative. Here we present a ratiometric fluorescent sensor array based on the derivatives of 2-(4'- N, N-dimethylamino)-3-hydroxyflavone and investigate its ability to provide a dual-channel ratiometric response. We demonstrate that, by using discriminant analysis of the sensor array responses, it is possible to effectively distinguish between eight bacterial species and recognize their Gram status. Thus, multiple parameters can be derived from the same data set. Moreover, the predictive potential of this sensor array is discussed, and its ability to analyze unknown samples beyond the list of species used for the training matrix is demonstrated. The proposed sensor array and analysis strategies open new avenues for the development of advanced ratiometric sensors for multiparametric analysis.

Abstract
The article presents the results of fluorescence analyses of 2-methylamino-5-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (MDFT) in an aqueous environment. MDFT dissolved in aqueous solutions with a pH value in the range from 1 to 4.5 yielded an interesting effect of two clearly separated fluorescence emissions. In turn, a single fluorescence was observed in MDFT dissolved in water solutions with a pH value from 4.5 to 12. As it was suggested in the previous investigations of other 1,3,4-thiadiazole compounds, these effects may be associated with conformational changes in the structure of the analysed molecule accompanied by aggregation effects. Crystallographic data showed that the effect of the two separated fluorescence emissions occurred in a conformation with the –OH group in the resorcyl ring bound on the side of the sulphur atom from the 1,3,4-thiadiazole ring. The hypothesis of aggregation as the mechanism involved in the change in the spectral properties at low pH is supported by the results of (Time-Dependent) Density Functional Theory calculations. The possibility of rapid analysis of conformational changes with the fluorescence spectroscopy technique may be rather important outcome obtained from the spectroscopic studies presented in this article. Additionally, the presented results seem to be highly important as they can be easily observed in solutions and biologically important samples.

Abstract
The new competitive mechanism of intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bond can be proposed with an improved mixed model. Upon the photoinduced process, the twisting intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) structure of the hydroxyphenyl imidazo [1, 2-a] pyridine (HPIP) can be obtained. TICT character prompts the fluorescent inactivation via non-radiative decay process. For exploring the photochemical and photophysical properties, the electronic spectra and the infrared (IR) vibrational spectra of titled compounds have been detailedly investigated. In addition, the frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) analysis visually reveals that the unbalanced electron population can give rise to the torsion of molecular structure. To further give an attractive insight into the non-radiative decay process, the potential energy curves have been depicted on the ground state (S0), the first excited state (S1) and the triple excited state (T1). Minimum energy crossing point (MECP) has been found in the S1 and T1 state. On the MECP, the intersystem crossing (ISC) might be dominant channel. The density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods have been throughout employed in the S0 state, T1 state and S1 state, respectively. The theoretical results are consistent with experiment in mixed and PCM model.
