Abstract
Photochromism through excited-state intermolecular proton transfer (ESInterPT) processes based on keto-enol tautomerization was found in phenazine-2,3-diol PD1 and its monoalkoxy derivative PD2 in a glassy matrix at 77 K: the colorless solutions of enol forms PD1-E and PD2-E at 298 K transformed into orange-colored solutions of keto forms PD1-K and PD2-K upon photoirradiation (λ = 385 nm) at 77 K. Furthermore, this report is the first to achieve the single-crystal X-ray structural analyses of phenazine-2,3-diol PD1 and its monoalkoxy derivative PD2, since the report on the synthesis of PD1 70 years ago. Indeed, it was found that PD1 and PD2 molecules exist in the keto form (PD1-K) and the enol form (PD2-E), respectively, in the crystal, and the neighboring PD1-K and PD2-E molecules are linked by one-dimensional intermolecular NH⋯O and OH⋯N hydrogen bonding, respectively. The fact suggests strongly that for PD1 and PD2, the formation of continuous intermolecular hydrogen bonding in aggregates such as in a glassy matrix at 77 K is involved in the keto-enol tautomerization of phenazine-2,3-diol derivatives based on ESInterPT. More interestingly, the color and the photoabsorption spectrum of the solids obtained by sublimation of crystals of PD2-E are similar to those for the crystals of PD1-K, indicating that the PD2 molecule exists in the keto form (PD2-K) in the solid of the sublimate. Therefore, this study provides a valuable insight for a greater understanding of the keto-enol tautomerization of diazaacene-diol derivatives and their photophysical properties in the solution and in the solid state.

Experimental and theoretical comprehension of ESIPT fluorophores based on a 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3'-dimethylindole (HDMI) scaffold. Chem Sci 2024; 15:7206-7218.

Abstract
Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) emission is associated with intense single or multiple fluorescence in the solid-state, along with enhanced photostability and sensitivity to the close environment. As a result, ESIPT probes are attractive candidates for ratiometric sensing of a variety of substrates. A new family of ESIPT fluorophores is described herein, inspired by the well-known 2-(2'hydroxyphenyl)benzazole (HBX) organic scaffold. The connection of 3,3'-dimethylindole (or 3H-indole) derivatives with phenol rings triggers the formation of novel 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3'-dimethylindole (HDMI) fluorophores, capable of stimuli-responsive ESIPT emission. This brand new family of dyes displays redshifted emission, as compared to HBX, along with an unprecedented acid/base-mediated stabilization of different rotamers, owing to supramolecular interactions with methyl groups. These compounds are therefore highly sensitive to external stimuli, such as the presence of acid or base, where protonated and deprotonated species have specific optical signatures. Moreover, a new pyridine-functionalized HDMI dye displays acid-sensitive AIE properties. The photophysical properties of all compounds have also been studied using ab initio calculations to support experiments in deciphering the nature of the various radiative transitions observed and the related excited rotameric species.

Abstract
Our main focus is to explore the atomic electronegativity-dependent photoinduced behavior of styryl derivatives (HBO, HBS, and HBSe). The results of structural parameter calculation by the DFT method show that the intramolecular hydrogen bonds of normal and tautomer form are strengthened and weakened, respectively, in an excited state (S1), which is conducive to the excited intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. The enhancement of excited hydrogen bond is beneficial to the ESIPT process from the aspects of infrared vibration frequency (IR), Mulliken's charge analysis, and density gradient reduction (RDG). Additionally, by determining the bond energy with the band critical point (BCP) parameter, we found that the lower the electronegativity of the atom, the larger the hydrogen bond strength at the excited state and the more likely ESIPT reaction occurs. Meanwhile, the intramolecular H-bonds O-H…N in HBO, HBS, and HBSe are enhanced with the weakened electron-withdrawing capacity of the atom (from O to S and Se). Subsequently, frontier molecular orbital (FMOs) and charge density difference (CDD) analyses essentially revealed that electron redistribution induces the ESIPT process. Low atomic electronegativity exhibits the high chemical activity of the excited state. Furthermore, to demonstrate the electronegativity-dependent ESIPT behavior of the system, we built potential energy curves (PECs) and located the transition states (TS) of proton transfer processes.

Abstract
Theoretical design of several proton cranes, based on 7-hydroxyquinoline and 3-hydroxypyridine as proton-transfer frames, has been attempted using ground and excited-state density functional theory (DFT) calculations in various environments. Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and benzimidazole were considered as proton crane units. The proton crane action requires the existence of a single enol-like form in the ground state, which under excitation goes to the end keto-like one through a series of consecutive excited-state intramolecular proton transfers (ESIPT) and twisting steps with the participation of a crane unit, resulting in a long-range intramolecular proton transfer. The results suggest that 3-hydroxypyridine is not suitable for a proton-transfer frame and 8-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)quinolin-7-ol and 8-(pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-yl)quinolin-7-ol behave as non-conjugated proton cranes, instead of tautomeric re-arrangement in the latter, which was thought to be possible.

Abstract
The photophysical studies of fluorescent probes in micellar medium can give a better insight about their interaction with biological membranes. This study attempts to access the photophysical properties of the dual emitting azine based probe diethylamino salicylidene azine dimer (DEASAD) in micellar media. DEASAD showed dual charge transfer emission due to the presence of open enol (480 nm) and closed enol (510 nm) forms in polar protic solvents. Upon increasing the concentration of ionic surfactants, there is a significant increase in the emission intensity of both the enol forms of DEASAD until premicellar concentration. After micellization, occurrence of a new anomalous keto form emission through excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) was observed around 530 nm in ionic micelles and its intensity changes depend on the micellar surface charge. The emission studies revealed the position and interaction of DEASAD with the charge of micellar stern layer as confirmed through interaction of metal ion with the probe and control molecules with and without ESIPT and ICT moieties. In contrast, the new anomalous longer wavelength keto form of DEASAD emission was absent in neutral micelles like Triton X-100.

Abstract
A rare example of pyrimidine-based ESIPT-capable compounds, 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methylpyrimidine (HLH), was synthesized (ESIPT─excited state intramolecular proton transfer). Its reactions with zinc(II) salts under basic or acidic conditions afforded a dinuclear [Zn2LH2Cl2] complex and an ionic (H2LH)4[ZnCl4]2·3H2O solid. Another ionic solid, (H2LH)Br, was obtained from the solution of HLH acidified with HBr. In both ionic solids, the H+ ion protonates the same pyrimidinic N atom that accepts the O-H···N intramolecular hydrogen bond in the structure of free HLH, which breaks this hydrogen bond and switches off ESIPT in these compounds. This series of compounds which includes neutral HLH molecules and ionic (LH)- and (H2LH)+ species allowed us to elucidate the impact of protonation and coordination coupled deprotonation of HLH on the photoluminescence response and on altering the emission mechanism. The neutral HLH compound exhibits yellow emission as a result of the coexistence of two radiative decay channels: (i) T1 → S0 phosphorescence of the enol form and (ii) anti-Kasha S2 → S0 fluorescence of the keto form, which if feasible due to the large S2-S1 energy gap. However, owing to the efficient nonradiative decay through an energetically favorable conical intersection, the photoluminescence quantum yield of HLH is low. Protonation or deprotonation of the HLH ligand results in the significant blue-shift of the emission bands by more than 100 nm and boosts the quantum efficiency up to ca. 20% in the case of [Zn2LH2Cl2] and (H2LH)4[ZnCl4]2·3H2O. Despite both (H2LH)4[ZnCl4]2·3H2O and (H2LH)Br have the same (H2LH)+ cation in the structures, their emission properties differ significantly, whereas (H2LH)Br shows dual emission associated with two radiative decay channels: (i) S1 → S0 fluorescence and (ii) T1 → S0 phosphorescence, (H2LH)4[ZnCl4]2·3H2O exhibits only fluorescence. This difference in the emission properties can be associated with the external heavy atom effect in (H2LH)Br, which leads to faster intersystem crossing in this compound. Finally, a huge increase in the intensity of the phosphorescence of (H2LH)Br on cooling leads to pronounced luminescence thermochromism (violet emission at 300 K, sky-blue emission at 77 K).

Abstract
The effective utilization of luminescent dyes often relies on a comprehensive understanding of their excitation and relaxation pathways. One such pathway, Excited-State Proton Transfer (ESPT), involves the tautomerization of the dye in its excited state, resulting in a new structure that exhibits distinct emission properties, such as a very large Stokes' shift or dual-emission. Although the ESPT phenomenon is well-explained theoretically, its experimental demonstration can be challenging due to the presence of numerous other phenomena that can yield similar experimental observations. In this review, we propose that an all-encompassing methodology, integrating experimental findings, computational analyses, and a thorough evaluation of diverse mechanisms, is essential for verifying the occurrence of ESPT in luminescent dyes. Investigations have offered significant understanding of the elements impacting the ESPT process and the array of approaches that can be used to validate the existence of ESPT. These discoveries hold crucial ramifications for the advancement of molecular probes, sensors, and other applications that depend on ESPT as a detection mechanism.

Abstract
Zinc is a vital metal element with extensive applications in various fields such as industry, metallurgy, agriculture, food, and healthcare. For living organisms, zinc ions are indispensable, and their deficiency can lead to physiological and metabolic abnormalities that cause multiple diseases. Hence, there is a significant need for selective recognition and effective detection of free zinc ions. As a probe method with high sensitivity, high selectivity, real-time monitoring, safety, harmlessness and ease of operation, fluorescent probes have been widely used in metal ion identification studies, and many convenient, low-cost and easy-to-operate fluorescent probes for Zn2+ detection have been developed. This article reviews the latest research advances in fluorescent chemosensors for Zn2+ detection from 2019 to 2023. In particular, sensors working through photo-induced electron transfer (PET), excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF), and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanisms are described. We discuss the use of various recognition mechanisms in detecting zinc ions through specific cases, some of which have been validated through theoretical calculations.

Abstract
We detail the synthesis of a series of fluorophores containing triphenylamine derivatives along with their photophysical, electrochemical, and electronic structure properties. These compounds include molecular structures derived from imino-phenol (anil) and hydroxybenzoxazole scaffolds originating from similar salicylaldehyde derivatives and display excited-state intramolecular proton transfer. We show that depending on the nature of the π-conjugated scaffold, different photophysical processes are observed: aggregation-induced emission or dual-state emission, with a modulation of the fluorescence color and redox properties. The photophysical properties are further rationalized with the help of ab initio calculations.

Abstract
Four tris(salicylideneanilines) (TSANs) with gradually increased steric interactions between the keto-enamine moiety and neighbouring phenyl substituent are presented. The steric interactions are induced by placing two alkyl groups at the ortho position in the N-aryl substituent. The impact of the steric effect over the radiative channels of deactivation of the excited state was evaluated through spectroscopic measurements and theoretical calculations using ab initio techniques. Our results show that the emission occurring after excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) is favoured by placing the bulky groups in the ortho position of the N-phenyl ring of the TSAN. However, our TSANs seem to offer the opportunity to obtain a pronounced emission band at higher energy, significantly increasing the coverage of the visible spectrum, resulting in the enhancement of the dual emissive properties of tris(salicylideneanilines). Thus, TSANs may be promising molecules capable of white-like emission for use in organic electronic devices such as white OLEDs.

Abstract
The two-step synthesis, structural, and photophysical properties of a series of heteroaryl-substituted bis-anil derivatives presenting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) coupled with an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process is described. The fluorescence color of the aggregates can be fine tuned by changing the electronic nature of the peripheral substitution, leading to a wide range of emission wavelengths (from green to the near infra-red). Moreover, upon introduction of strong electron-withdrawing groups such as cyano (CN), a competition between ESIPT and deprotonation is observed leading to the emission of the anionic species at low water percentage. This observation led to the synthesis of an additional mixed AIE fluorophore, functionalized by methoxy groups on one side and cyano groups on the other side. Upon addition of water, this dye displays first anionic emission, followed by typical AIE/ESIPT red fluorescence upon formation of the aggregates. TD-DFT calculations on selected AIE dyes were performed to rationalize the nature of the emissive transitions in these derivatives.

Abstract
1H-Imidazole derivatives establish one of the iconic classes of ESIPT-capable compounds (ESIPT = excited state intramolecular proton transfer). This work presents the synthesis of 1-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazole (LOH,OH) as the first example of ESIPT-capable imidazole derivatives wherein the imidazole moiety simultaneously acts as a proton acceptor and a proton donor. The reaction of LOH,OH with chloroacetone leads to the selective reduction of the imidazolic OH group (whereas the phenolic OH group remains unaffected) and to the isolation of 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazole (LH,OH), a monohydroxy congener of LOH,OH. Both LOH,OH and LH,OH demonstrate luminescence in the solid state. The number of OH···N proton transfer sites in these compounds (one for LH,OH and two for LOH,OH) strongly affects the luminescence mechanism and color of the emission: LH,OH emits in the light green region, whereas LOH,OH luminesces in the orange region. According to joint experimental and theoretical studies, the main emission pathway of both compounds is associated with T1 → S0 phosphorescence and not related to ESIPT. At the same time, LOH,OH also exhibits S1 → S0 fluorescence associated with ESIPT with one proton transferred from the hydroxyimidazole moiety to the pyridine moiety, which is not possible for LH,OH due to the absence of the hydroxy group in the imidazole moiety.

Abstract
The emission of ESIPT-fluorophores is known to be sensitive to various external and internal stimuli and can be fine-tuned through substitution in the proton-donating and proton-accepting groups. The incorporation of metal ions in the molecules of ESIPT fluorophores without their deprotonation is an emerging area of research in coordination chemistry which provides chemists with a new factor affecting the ESIPT reaction and ESIPT-coupled luminescence. In this paper we present 1-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-(quinolin-2-yl)-1H-imidazole (HLq) as a new ESIPT-capable ligand. Due to the spatial separation of metal binding and ESIPT sites this ligand can coordinate metal ions without being deprotonated. The reactions of ZnHal2 with HLq afford ESIPT-capable [Zn(HLq)Hal2] (Hal = Cl, Br, I) complexes. In the solid state HLq and [Zn(HLq)Hal2] luminesce in the orange region (λmax = 600-650 nm). The coordination of HLq by Zn2+ ions leads to the increase in the photoluminescence quantum yield due to the chelation-enhanced fluorescence effect. The ESIPT process is barrierless in the S1 state, leading to the only possible fluorescence channel in the tautomeric form (T), S1T → S0T. The emission of [Zn(HLq)Hal2] in the solid state is blue-shifted as compared with HLq due to the stabilization of the ground state and destabilization of the excited state. In CH2Cl2 solutions, the compounds demonstrate dual emission in the UV (λmax = 358 nm) and green (λmax = 530 nm) regions. This dual emission is associated with two radiative deactivation channels in the normal (N) and tautomeric (T) forms, S1N → S0N and S1T → S0T, originating from two minima on the excited state potential energy surfaces. High energy barriers for the GSIPT process allow the trapping of molecules in the minimum of the tautomeric form, S0T, resulting in the possibility of the S0T → S1T photoexcitation and extraordinarily small Stokes shifts in the solid state. Finally, the π-system of quinolin-2-yl group facilitates the delocalization of the positive charge in the proton-accepting part of the molecule and promotes the ESIPT reaction.

Abstract
The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer chromophores were regarded as good materials for laser action generation due to their inherent four-level photocycle. The excitation-dependent properties of these compounds enable light amplification from two distinct forms: both enol and keto, making it possible to obtain dual fluorescence emission. Herein, we report that a third option is possible for the first time stimulated emission was realized with a deprotonated ESIPT molecule based on a novel rigidified 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole derivative, triggering the possibility to fabricate real-time tunable active material. Through the rational engineering of the ratio of each emissive species, a red-green-blue device was fabricated with the possibility of white light generation. The degenerated two-wave mixing setup was applied to construct a continuously tunable distributed feedback laser.

Abstract
This article describes the synthetic efforts towards the solubilization of organic fluorescent emitters based on a 2-(2'-hydroxybenzofuranyl)benzazole (HBBX) scaffold in aqueous media under physiological conditions (PBS, pH 7.4). These dyes are well-known to display the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process which leads to a Stokes-shifted fluorescence with enhanced photostability and strong environment dependent features. Organic dyes are hydrophobic by nature and their vectorization into aqueous media usually necessitates amphiphilic polymers. In this study, we show that the incorporation of one or two sulfobetaine fragments, a highly biocompatible zwitterionic unit leads to the vectorization in buffer solution at pH 7.4 while keeping a reasonable ESIPT fluorescence emission. The photophysical properties of all dyes were studied in multiple solvents and showed that, depending on structure and environment, different excited-state species are observed: normal or tautomeric species, as well as a competitive anionic fluorescent derivative. This study shows that it is not only possible to solubilize fluorescent ESIPT dyes in water using sulfobetaine(s) but also that the optical properties can be finely tuned depending on small structural inputs.

Abstract
The development of fluorescence materials with switched on/off emission has attracted great attention owing to the potential application of these materials in chemical sensing. In this work, the photophysical properties of a series of original 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)pyrimidines were thoroughly studied. The compounds were prepared by following well-established and straightforward methodologies and showed very little or null photoluminescence both in solution and in the solid state. This absence of emission can be explained by a fast proton transfer from the OH group to the nitrogen atoms of the pyrimidine ring to yield an excited tautomer that deactivates through a nonradiative pathway. The key role of the OH group in the emission quenching was demonstrated by the preparation of 2'-unsubstituted derivatives, all of which exhibited violet or blue luminescence. Single crystals of some compounds suitable for an X-ray diffraction analysis could be obtained, which permitted us to investigate inter- and intramolecular interactions and molecular packing structures. The protonation of the pyrimidine ring by an addition of trifluoroacetic acid inhibited the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process, causing a reversible switch on fluorescence response detectable by the naked eye. This acidochromic behavior allows 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)pyrimidines to be used as solid-state acid-base vapor sensors and anticounterfeiting agents. Extensive density functional theory and its time-dependent counterpart calculations at the M06-2X/6-31+G** level of theory were performed to rationalize all the experimental results and understand the impact of protonation on the different optical transitions.

Abstract
Dual-state emissive (DSE) fluorophores are organic dyes displaying fluorescence emission both in dilute and concentrated solution and in the solid-state, as amorphous, single crystal, polycrystalline samples or thin films. This comes in contrast to the vast majority of organic fluorescent dyes which typically show intense fluorescence in solution but are quenched in concentrated media and in the solid-state owing to π-stacking interactions; a well-known phenomenon called aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). On the contrary, molecular rotors with a significant number of free rotations have been engineered to show quenched emission in solution but strong fluorescence in the aggregated-state thanks to restriction of the intramolecular motions. This is the concept of aggregation-induced emission (AIE). DSE fluorophores have been far less explored despite the fact that they are at the crossroad of ACQ and AIE phenomena and allow targeting applications both in solution (bio-conjugation, sensing, imaging) and solid-state (organic electronics, data encryption, lasing, luminescent displays). Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) fluorescence is particularly suitable to engineer DSE dyes. Indeed, ESIPT fluorescence, which relies on a phototautomerism between normal and tautomeric species, is characterized by a strong emission in the solid-state along with a large Stokes’ shift, an enhanced photostability and a strong sensitivity to the close environment, a feature prone to be used in bio-sensing. A drawback that needs to be overcome is their weak emission intensity in solution, owing to detrimental molecular motions in the excited-state. Several strategies have been proposed in that regard. In the past few years, a growing number of examples of DSE-ESIPT dyes have indeed emerged in the literature, enriching the database of such attractive dyes. This review aims at a brief but concise overview on the exploitation of ESIPT luminescence for the optimization of DSE dyes properties. In that perspective, a synergistic approach between organic synthesis, fluorescence spectroscopy and ab initio calculations has proven to be an efficient tool for the construction and optimization of DSE-ESIPT fluorophores.

Abstract
This article describes the synthesis, spectroscopic studies, and theoretical calculations of nine original fluorophores based on the 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzazole (HBX) scaffold, functionalized at the 4-position of the phenol ring by ethynyl-extended aniline moieties. HBX dyes are well-known to display an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process, owing to a strong six-membered hydrogen bond in their structure that allows for an enol/keto tautomerism after photoexcitation. Appropriate electronic substitution can perturb the ESIPT process, leading to dual fluorescence, both excited tautomers emitting at specific wavelengths. In the examples described herein, it is demonstrated that the proton transfer can be finely frustrated by a modification of the constitutive heteroring, leading to a single emission band from the excited enol or keto tautomer or a dual emission with relative intensities highly dependent on the environment. Moreover, the nature of the functionalization of the N-alkylated aniline moiety also has a significant importance on the relative excited-state stabilities of the two tautomers in solution. To shed more light on these features, quantum chemical calculations by the density functional theory are used to determine the excited-state energies and rationalize the experimental spectroscopic data.

Abstract
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) dyes typically show strong solid-state emission, but faint fluorescence intensity is observed in the solution state owing to detrimental molecular motions. This article investigates the influence of direct (hetero)arylation on the optical properties of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole ESIPT emitters. The synthesis of two series of ESIPT emitters bearing substituted neutral or charged aryl, thiophene, or pyridine rings is reported herein along with full photophysical studies in solution and solid states, demonstrating the dual solution-/solid-state emission behavior. Depending on the nature of substitution, several excited-state dynamics are observed: quantitative or partially frustrated ESIPT process or deprotonation of the excited species. Protonation studies revealed that pyridine substitution triggered a strong increase of quantum yield in the solution state for the protonated species owing to favorable quinoidal stabilization. These attractive features led to the development of a second series of dyes with alkyl or aryl pyridinium moieties showing strong tunable solution/solid fluorescence intensity. For each series, ab initio calculations helped rationalize and ascertain their behavior in the excited state and the nature of the emission observed by the experimental results.

Abstract
Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) has drawn much attention for its important applications in a variety of areas. Here, the steady-state and time-resolved absorption spectroscopic experiments as well as DFT/TD-DFT calculations are employed to study the photophysical properties and photochemical reaction mechanisms of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazole (HBO) and selected derivatives (compounds 1-3). Because of their larger π-conjugation framework, compounds 1-3 display red-shifted absorbance but blue-shifted fluorescence compared with HBO. A fast ESIPT process is observed directly for HBO while compound 3 has an enol/keto equilibrium type of ESIPT that exhibits dual emission. Interestingly, only the emission of the enol form is observed for compounds 1 and 2 which suggests that the ESIPT process is strongly inhibited. These results indicate the decoration with electron-withdrawing groups such as thiadiazol and pyrazine on the hydroxyphenyl ring (compounds 1 and 2) apparently suppresses the proton-transfer processes in their excited states. Whereas the ESIPT process is rarely increased for compound 3 that modified with the phenanthrol ring, because the effective conjugation is reduced for compound 3 compared with HBO. The work here provides fundamental insights that may be useful for designing novel ESIPT molecules in the future.

Insight into dual fluorescence effects induced by molecular aggregation occurring in membrane model systems containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. EUROPEAN BIOPHYSICS JOURNAL : EBJ 2021; 50:1083-1101. [PMID: 34515830 PMCID: PMC8566415 DOI: 10.1007/s00249-021-01569-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 05/23/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
This work reports on biophysical insights into the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes taking place in three 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives that served as model compounds, on which electronic absorption, fluorescence, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies were performed. The fluorescence spectra recorded in various solvents revealed an interesting dual fluorescence effect. In molecules in their monomeric form, the effect is associated with the ESIPT phenomenon, and may be further enhanced by aggregation-related effects, such as aggregation-induced emissions. Other spectroscopic studies on the selected molecules in a liposomal medium as a model revealed that, in a biomimetic environment, they can exist in both monomeric and aggregated forms. In both cases, however, the effects observed are closely related to the lipid's main phase transition temperature and the structure of the molecule. Introduction of specific substituents to the phenyl moiety either allows or prevents proton transfer from occurring in the excited state. The hydrophobicity changes in a lipid environment may result in an emergence of specific molecular forms and therefore either facilitate or hinder ESIPT processes. SPR and EIS confirmed the significant hydrophobicity changes in the model lipid systems, while FTIR measurements revealed a notable influence of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles on the fluidity of liposomal membranes. The results obtained clearly show that the thiadiazole derivatives are very good model molecules for studying hydrophobic-hydrophilic environments, and particularly with polymers or liposomes used as drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Multifunctional stimuli-responsive fluorophores showing bright environment-sensitive emissions have fueled intense research due to their innovative applications in the fields of biotechnologies, optoelectronics, and materials. A strong structural diversity is observed among molecular materials, which has been enriched over the years with a growing responsiveness to stimuli. Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes have long been the flagship of emissive boron complexes due to their outstanding properties until a decade ago when analogues based on N^O, N^N, or N^C π-conjugated chelates emerged. The finality of developing borate dyes was to compensate for BODIPYs’ lack of solid-state fluorescence and small Stokes shifts while keeping their excellent optical properties in solution. Among them, the borate complexes based on a salicylaldimine ligand, called by the acronym boranils appear as the most promising, owing to their facile synthesis and dual-state emission properties. Boranil dyes have proven to be good alternatives to BODIPY dyes and have been applied in applications such as bioimaging, bioconjugation, and detection of biosubstrates. Meanwhile, ab initio calculations have rationalized experimental results and provided insightful feedback for future designs. This review article aims at providing a concise yet representative overview of the chemistry around the boranil core with the subsequent applications.

Remarkable Increase of Fluorescence Quantum Efficiency by Cyano Substitution on an ESIPT Molecule 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole: A Highly Photoluminescent Liquid Crystal Dopant. CRYSTALS 2021.

Abstract
Fluorescent molecules with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) character allow the efficient solid-state luminescence with large Stokes shift that is important for various applications, such as organic electronics, photonics, and bio-imaging fields. However, the lower fluorescence quantum yields (ΦFL) in the solution or viscous media, due to their structural relaxations in the excited state to reach the S0/S1 conical intersection, shackle further applications of ESIPT-active luminophores. Here we report that the introduction of a cyano group (-CN) into the phenyl group of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), a representative ESIPT compound, remarkably increase its fluorescence quantum yield (ΦFL) from 0.01 (without -CN) to 0.49 (with -CN) in CH2Cl2, without disturbing its high ΦFL (=0.52) in the solid state. The large increase of the solution-state ΦFL of the cyano-substituted HBT (CN-HBT) is remarkable, comparing with our previously reported ΦFL values of 0.05 (with 4-pentylphenyl), 0.07 (with 1-hexynyl), and 0.15 (with 4-pentylphenylethynyl). Of interest, the newly-synthesized compound, CN-HBT, is miscible in a conventional room-temperature nematic liquid crystal (LC), 4-pentyl-4′-cyano biphenyl (5CB), up to 1 wt% (~1 mol%), and exhibits a large ΦFL of 0.57 in the viscous LC medium. A similar ΦFL value of ΦFL = 0.53 was also recorded in another room-temperature LC, trans-4-(4-pentylcyclohexyl)benzonitrile (PCH5), with a doping ratio of 0.5 wt% (~0.5 mol%). These 5CB/CN-HBT and PCH5/CN-HBT mixtures serve as light-emitting room-temperature LCs, and show anisotropic fluorescence with the dichroic ratio of 3.1 upon polarized excitation, as well as electric field response of luminescence intensity changes.

Abstract
A fluorescently labeled peptide that exhibited fast excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) was synthesized, and the nature of its electronic properties was comprehensively investigated, including linear photophysical and photochemical characterization, specific relaxation processes in the excited state, and its stimulated emission ability. The steady-state absorption, fluorescence, and excitation anisotropy spectra, along with fluorescence lifetimes and emission quantum yields, were obtained in liquid media and analyzed based on density functional theory quantum-chemical calculations. The nature of ESIPT processes of the peptide's chromophore moiety was explored using a femtosecond transient absorption pump-probe technique, revealing relatively fast ESIPT velocity (∼10 ps) in protic MeOH at room temperature. Efficient superluminescence properties of the peptide were realized upon femtosecond excitation in the main long-wavelength absorption band with a corresponding threshold of the pump pulse energy of ∼1.5 μJ. Quantum-chemical analysis of the electronic structure of the peptide was performed using the density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory level of theory, affording good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract
2-(2'-Hydroxyphenyl)benzazole (HBX) fluorophores are well-known excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) emitters largely studied for their synthetic versatility, photostability, strong solid-state fluorescence and ability to engineer dual emission, thus paving the way to applications as white emitters, ratiometric sensors, and cryptographic dyes. However, they are heavily quenched in solution, due to efficient non-radiative pathways taking place as a consequence of the proton transfer in the excited-state. In this contribution, the nature of the heteroring constitutive of these rigidified HBX dyes was modified and we demonstrate that this simple structural modification triggers major optical changes in terms of emission color, dual emission engineering, and importantly, fluorescent quantum yield. Investigation of the photophysical properties in solution and in the solid state of a series of ethynyl-TIPS extended HBX fluorophores, along with ab initio calculations demonstrate the very promising abilities of these dyes to act as bright dual-state emitters, in both solution (even in protic environments) and solid state.

Abstract
Abstract
The crystals of N-salicylideneaniline (SA) and SA derivatives are classic functional materials that exhibit reversible colour changes (photochromism) and/or excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) fluorescence emission under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. In this study, a novel SA derivative was synthesised with an extended alkyl chain, N-(5-bromo-salicylidene)-3-aminoethylpyridine (5Br-SAEP). The photophysical properties of 5Br-SAEP were characterised in the crystalline state. The monohydrated crystal (1H) of 5Br-SAEP was dehydrated to form the anhydrous crystal (1A) at a relative humidity of less than 76%. The photochromic activity was switched by the dehydration phase transition from the non-photochromic 1H to the photochromic 1A. The quantum yield of fluorescence decreased significantly from 8% in 1H to 3% in 1A. The in situ change of photophysical properties occurred due to the change in the crystal structure. This indicated the potential of the solvated crystals of the SAEP derivatives for applications in novel switching or smart materials.

Abstract
Organic compounds capable of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) show fluorescence with a large Stokes shift and serve as solid-state emitters, luminescent dopants, and fluorescence-based sensing materials. Fluorescence of ESIPT molecules is usually increased in the solid state, but is weak in solvents due to the accelerated non-radiative decays by rotational motions of a part of the molecular core in these environments. Here we report, using a representative ESIPT motif 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), the extended-conjugation strategy of keeping sufficient fluorescence efficiency both in the solid state and in organic media. The introduction of an alkyl-terminated phenylene-ethynylene group into the HBT molecule dramatically enhances the fluorescence quantum yield from 0.01 to 0.20 in toluene and from 0.07 to 0.32 in a representative room-temperature nematic liquid crystal, 4-pentyl-4'-cyano biphenyl (5CB). The newly-synthesized CnP-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-HBT (n = 5 or 8) serves as a fluorescent dopant in 5CB and exhibits anisotropic fluorescence with the order parameter of 0.48, where the luminescence is controlled by the applied electric-field. The enhanced emission efficiency is rationalized by the larger height of energy barrier for the ESIPT process due to the introduction of phenylene-ethynylene groups.

Abstract
We investigated the fluorescent properties, including the excited-state intermolecular proton transfer, of urea derivatives comprising a coumarin ring, which is a widely used fluorophore. We prepared two different coumarin-urea derivatives, 6CU and 7CU, which bear a urea-based substituent at the 6 and 7 positions of a coumarin ring, respectively. In the presence of the acetate ion, 7CU showed additional tautomer fluorescence emission with respect to 6CU, indicating that tautomer formation depends on the positions of the urea-based substituent on the coumarin ring. Thus, the resonance structures of urea derivatives might play an important role in the behavior of dual fluorescence, which is an important phenomenon applicable to photochemical anion sensing. Moreover, in order to further improve the fluorescence properties of the mentioned derivatives, a CF3 group was introduced in a phenyl ring opposite to a coumarin ring. The fluorescence quantum yield of 7CUCF3 thus synthesized was 65 times as large as that of 7CU, an observation that renders 7CUCF3 a suitable anion sensor candidate. The results of this study will contribute to the development of new molecular designs for highly fluorescent sensing.

Abstract
A series of five excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) emitters based on a 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazole (HBO) scaffold, functionalized with a mono-or bis-(trialkylsilyl) acetylene extended spacer are presented. Investigation of their photophysical properties in solution and in the solid-state in different matrix, along with ab initio calculations gave useful insights into their optical behavior. Random lasing studies were conducted on a series of PMMA doped thin films, showing the presence of stimulated emission above the threshold of pumping energy density (ρth ≈ 0.5–2.6 mJ cm−2). In this work, the similarity of four level laser systems is discussed in light of the ESIPT photocycle.
