- Photophysical Properties of Silyl-Substituted Stilbene Derivatives
-
The effects of silyl groups on the structural, absorption, fluorescence, and photoisomerization properties of stilbenes were investigated. In comparison to that of the parent stilbene (1), fluorescence quantum yields (Φf) of Me3Si-substituted stilbenes 2–4 and 6 in solution were higher. Derivative 5, in which Me3Si groups are present at all ortho positions of the arene moieties, did not fluoresce at room temperature. The absorption and fluorescence wavelength maxima of Me3SiMe2Si-substituted stilbene 7 occurred at longer wavelengths compared to those of the Me3Si analog 2. The results of theoretical calculations showed that this difference is a consequence of an increase in the HOMO energy of 7 caused by orbital interaction between π-system and the σ(Si–Si) orbital. Stilbene 14, with two Me3Si-C≡C groups at both para positions, had a high Φf (0.95). The calculated transition dipole moment (μ) was well correlated with Φf. Derivative 21, which contains Ph2N and Me3SiC≡C groups exhibited solvatofluorochromism because it possesses a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) excited state in which the Ph2N group and the aromatic ring are orthogonal.

- Convenient methods for preparing ?-conjugated linkers as building blocks for modular chemistry
-
Simple, straightforward and optimized procedures for preparing extended ?-conjugated linkers are described. Either unsubstituted or 4-donor substituted ?-linkers bearing a styryl, biphenyl, phenylethenylphenyl, and phenylethynylphenyl ?-conjugated backbone are functionalized with boronic pinacol esters as well as with terminal acetylene moieties allowing their further use as building blocks in Suzuki-Miyaura or Sonogashira coupling reactions.

- Trivalent Boron as an Acceptor in Donor - π - Acceptor-Type Compounds for Single- and Two-Photon Excited Fluorescence
-
The synthesis, structure, and fluorescence properties of a series of new donor - π - acceptor (D - π - A) type compounds, with a trivalent boron, protected by two mesityl groups, as acceptor, and with various typical donors and different π-conjugated bridges, are reported. All these stable organoboron compounds show intense single-photon excited fluorescence (SPEF) and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) in a wide spectral range from blue to green, with the spectral peak position of the SPEF being basically the same as that of the TPEF. The remarkably strong C-B(mesityl)2 bonding, and the well-conjugated π-system, shown in X-ray crystal structures of two compounds, indicate some charge transfer features of the ground state. Meanwhile, spectral data indicate that the charge transfer from donor to acceptor is greatly enhanced in the excited states. Based on typical structural data and comprehensive spectral data, the following structure - property relationships can be drawn: 1) the moderate arylamino donor can more effectively enhance the SPEF and TPEF intensities than can the strong alkylamino donor; 2) stilbene is a better π-bridge than styrylthiophene for its capability of enhancing and blue-shifting the SPEF and TPEF of the corresponding D - π - A compounds; and 3) when compared to its boron-free precursors and other analogues, -B(mesityl)2 invariably and consistently acts as an effective SPEF and TPEF fluorophore in all this series of organoboron compounds, which may result from its strong π -electron-withdrawing and charge transfer-inducing nature in the ground-state and, more dominantly, in the excited-state. Combining all the above positive structure factors, trans-4′-N,N-diphenylamino-4-dimesitylborylstilbene (compound 3) stands out as the optimized green SPEF and TPEF emitter. This compound exhibits an SPEF quantum yield φ of 0.91 at 522 nm in THF, a TPEF cross-section σ′ that is an order of magnitude larger than that of its boron-free precursor upon excitation by 800 nm femto-second laser pulses, and a two-photon absorption section a of 3.0 × 10-48 cm 4 s. In the blue light region, trans-4′ -N-carbazolyl-4-dimesitylborylstilbene (compound 4) shows significant SPEF and TPEF properties, with φ = 0.79 at 464 nm in THF and a large σ′ value, which is five times that of fluorescein upon excitation by 740 nm femto-second laser pulses.

A series of 4'-substituted 4-dimethylamino trans-stilbenes 1-5 was investigated by UPS, in connection with conjugated donor-acceptor substituted double bond photochemistry.The measured and assigned spectra indicate a high sensitivity, depending on the changed electronic structure by 4'-substituents of compounds 1-5.Correlation of ionization energies in LFE-relationship with Hammett's ?p-values and other ground state data was proved, demonstrating UPS a powerful tool for substituent effect studies in conjugated double bond systems.
