Comparing the crystal structures and spectroscopic properties of a p-hydroxy styrylquinolinium dye with those of its p-dimethylamino analogue. Heliyon 2024; 10:e29315. [PMID: 38681551 PMCID: PMC11046227 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Two previously synthesized styrylquinolinium dyes, namely (E)-1-butyl-4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)quinolinium iodide (D36) and (E)-1-butyl-4-(4-hydroxystyryl)quinolinium iodide (D34), were compared in terms of their properties by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), Hirshfeld surface analysis, Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), fluorescence, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and 1H- and 13C-NMR methods. Both dyes D36 and D34 crystallized in the triclinic and monoclinic systems in the centrosymmetric space groups P-1 and P21/n, respectively. The unit cell of D36 contains two molecules of the dye, participating in weak intermolecular interactions, whereas that of D34 contains four formula units. The phenolic hydroxy group of D34 participates in the formation of a hydrogen bond with the iodide anion. The 4-styrylquinolinium moieties of the cationic dye molecules are nearly planar. The dihedral angle between the mean planes through the ten-membered quinolinium system and the benzene ring is 7.5° in D36 and 5.9(1)° in D34. The structural parameters planarity and bond length alternation (BLA) are discussed, which are important for the evaluation of the first hyperpolarizability β at the molecular level, even in a centrosymmetric crystal. The UV-visible spectra of the dyes in 14 solvents of different polarities were investigated. The reversible solvatochromic behavior of the dyes is demonstrated experimentally and compared with known "binuclear dyes" by evaluating the Rezende model. Dye D36 does not fluoresce, and D34 has a very low emission in the solvents tested.

Front Chem 2023; 11:1124705.

Abstract
The widespread conversion of synthetic receptors into luminescent sensors has been achieved via the use of fluorescent-indicator displacement assays (F-IDAs). Due to their rigid structures and efficient binding affinities, cucurbit[n]urils, combined with a variety of fluorescent guests, have gained extensive utilization in fluorescent-indicator displacement assays for sensing non-fluorescent or weakly fluorescent organic compounds (analytes) in a selective and specific manner. This mini-review summarizes recent advances in the design of cucurbit[n]uril-based fluorescent-indicator displacement assays and discusses the current challenges and future prospects in this area.

Changes in Protonation Sites of 3-Styryl Derivatives of 7-(dialkylamino)-aza-coumarin Dyes Induced by Cucurbit[7]uril. Front Chem 2022; 10:870137.

Abstract
The incorporation of a guest, with different basic sites, into an organized system (host), such as macrocycles, could stabilize, detect, or promote the formation of a certain protomer. In this context, this work aimed to study the influence of cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) on dyes such as 7-(dimethylamino)-aza-coumarins, which have more than one basic site along their molecular structure. For this, three 3-styryl derivatives of 7-(dialkylamino)-aza-coumarin dyes (SAC1-3) were synthesized and characterized by NMR, ESI-HRMS and IR. The spectral behaviour of the SACs in the absence and presence of CB7 was studied. The results showed large shifts in the UV-vis spectrum in acid medium: a hypsochromic shift of ≈5400 cm−1 (SAC1-2) and ≈3500 cm−1 (SAC3) in the absence of CB7 and a bathochromic shift of ≈4500 cm−1 (SAC1-3) in the presence of CB7. The new absorptions at long and short wavelengths were assigned to the corresponding protomers by computational calculations at the density functional theory (DFT) level. Additionally, the binding mode was corroborated by molecular dynamics simulations. Findings revealed that in the presence of CB7 the heterocyclic nitrogen was preferably protonated instead of the dialkylamino group. Namely, CB7 induces a change in the protonation preference at the basic sites of the SACs, as consequence of the molecular recognition by the macrocycle.
