Static and dynamic model fluorescence quenching of laser dye by carbon tetrachloride in binary mixtures.

The fluorescence quenching of laser dye namely 4,4(‴)-Bis (2-butyloctyl-oxy)-p-quaterphenyl [BIBUQ] by carbon tetrachloride has been studied in different solvent mixtures of 1-4 dioxane (DN) and acetonitrile (AN) at room temperature. The quenching is found to be appreciable and a positive deviation from linearity was observed in the Stern-Volmer plot in all the solvent mixtures. Various parameters for the quenching process have been determined by sphere of action static quenching model and finite sink approximation model. The magnitudes of these rate parameters indicate that positive deviation in the Stern-Volmer (S-V) plot is both due to static and dynamic processes.

Estimation of ground and excited state dipole moments of aryl boronic acid derivative by solvatochromic shift method

In the present work, the absorption and fluorescence spectra of newly synthesized aryl boronic acid derivative namely 2-Methylphenyl boronic acid (2MPBA) have been recorded in various solvents of different polarities. The ground state dipole moment of 2MPBA was obtained from quantum chemical calculations. Solvatochromic correlations were used to estimate the ground state (μg) and excited state (μe) dipole moments. The excited state dipole moments are observed to be greater than the ground state dipole moment and ground and excited state dipole moments are not parallel but subtend by an angle of 880. Further, the changes in dipole moment (Δμ) were calculated both from solvatochromic shift method and microscopic solvent polarity parameter (ETN), and the value are compared. The spectral variations were analyzed by Kamlet-Taft parameters.

The ground state dipole moment of PBA was obtained from quantum chemical calculations. Solvatochromic correlations were used to estimate the ground state (μg) and excited state (μe) dipole moments. The excited state dipole moments are observed to be greater than the ground state dipole moments. Further, the ground and excited state dipole moments are not parallel but subtend by an angle of 70°. The changes in dipole moment (Δμ) were calculated both from solvatochromic shift method and microscopic solvent polarity parameter (ET(N)), and the values are compared. Solvent effects on the absorption and fluorescence spectra were quantified using Reichardts and bulk solvent polarity parameters were complemented by the results of the Kamlet-Taft treatment.

Specific interactions of alcohols and non‐alcohols with a biologically active boronic acid derivative: a spectroscopic study

The photophysical properties of 4-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl boronic acid (4FMPBA) are characterized using absorption and fluorescence techniques in series of non-alcohols and alcohols. The results are analyzed using different solvent polarity functions and Kamlet and Catalans multiple regression approaches. The excited state dipole moment and change in dipole moment are calculated using both the solvatochromic shift method and Reichardts microscopic solvent polarity parameter ETN. The ground state dipole moment is evaluated using quantum chemical calculations. It is found that general solute-solvent and hydrogen bond interactions are operative in this system. A red shift of ~ 9 nm in the emission spectra is observed with an increase in the solvent polarity, which depicts π→π(*) transitions, as well as the possibility of an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character in the emitting singlet state of 4FMPBA. The relative quantum yield, radiative and non-radiative decay constants are calculated in alkanes and alcohols using the single point method. It is found that the quantum yield of the molecule varies from 16.81% to 50.79% with the change in solvent polarity, indicating the dependence of fluorescence on the solvent environment. Copyright

An experimental and theoretical study of molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 2-methylphenyl boronic acid by density functional theory calculations

This paper reports the experimental and theoretical study on the structure and vibrations of 2-Methylphenyl boronic acid (2MPBA). The different spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR (4000-400 cm−1) and FT-Raman (4000-50 cm−1) of the title molecule in the solid phase were recorded. The geometry of the molecule was fully optimized using density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP) with 6-311++G(d, p) basis set calculations. The vibrational wavenumbers were also corrected with scale factor to take better results for the calculated data. Vibrational spectra were calculated and fundamental vibrations were assigned on the basis of the potential energy distribution (PED) of the vibrational modes obtained from VEDA 4 program. The calculated wavenumbers showed the best agreement with the experimental results. Whereas, it is observed that, the theoretical frequencies are more than the experimental one for O-H stretching vibration modes of the title molecule.

Synthesis of 5-(5-methyl-benzofuran-3-ylmethyl)-3H- [1, 3, 4] oxadiazole-2-thione and investigation of its spectroscopic, reactivity, optoelectronic and drug likeness properties by combined computational and experimental approach

This paper reports the synthesis of 5-(5-methyl-benzofuran-3-ylmethyl)-3H- [1, 3, 4] oxadiazole-2-thione (5MBOT) and characterization by FT-IR, FT-Raman, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and UV spectral studies. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been executed for the 5MBOT using B3LYP/6-31++G (d, p) basis set. The fundamental modes of the vibrations were designated by the potential energy distribution (PED), and the computed and experimental values support each other. The 1H NMR and 13C NMR chemical shifts of 5MBOT were estimated by gauge-including atomic orbitals (GIAO) method and compared with the experimental chemical shifts. The UV-Vis method used to study the visible absorption maxima (λmax) by using Time-Dependent DFT. Further, the Mulliken population analysis (MPA), natural population analysis (NPA) charges, thermodynamic properties at different temperatures were presented. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer within the molecule. The natural bonds orbital (NBO) also computed. Optoelectronic properties have been carried out by combination of DFT calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, in order to assess the potential of this structure for applications in organic electronics. Further, the study encompassed calculations of reorganization energies for holes and electrons and charge transfer rates. DFT calculations have been also used in order to identify locations possibly sensitive towards the autoxidation mechanism, which correlates between bond dissociation energy for hydrogen abstraction and the mechanism. The MD simulations have been used to understand interaction of 5MBOT with water molecules. Molecular docking studies reveals the antifungal activity of 5MBOT may be due to hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with different antifungal proteins.

Solvent effects on the photophysical properties of coumarin dye

The absorption and emission spectrum of fluorescent coumarin dye namely, 3-Hydroxy-3-[2-oxo-2-(3-oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromen-2-yl)-ethyl]-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one [3HBCD] has been recorded at room temperature in solvents of different polarities. The exited state dipole moments (μe) were estimated from Lippert’s, Bakhshiev’s and Kawski-Chamma-Viallet’s equations using the variation of Stoke’s shift with the solvent dielectric constant and refractive index. The geometry of the molecule was fully optimized and the μg was also calculated theoretically by Gaussian 03 software using B3LYP/6-31g* level of theory. The μg and μg were calculated by means of solvatochromic shift method. It was observed that μe was higher than μg, indicating a substantial redistribution of the π-electron densities in a more polar excited state for the selected coumarin dye. Further, the changes in the dipole moment (Δμ) was calculated from solvatochromic shift method.The absorption and emission spectrum of fluorescent coumarin dye namely, 3-Hydroxy-3-[2-oxo-2-(3-oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromen-2-yl)-ethyl]-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one [3HBCD] has been recorded at room temperature in solvents of different polarities.

Bimolecular fluorescence quenching reactions of the biologically active coumarin composite 2-acetyl-3H-benzo[f]chromen-3-one in different solvents

A study on fluorescence quenching was carried out for the coumarin derivative 2-acetyl-3H-benzo[f]chromen-3-one (2AHBC) with aniline at room temperature. Efficient fluorescence quenching was observed and Stern-Volmer (S-V) plots showed upward curves from linearity in all solvents of different polarities. For the solute 2AHBC, ground state complex formation does not hold in our study. The kinetic distance (r) value was found to be greater than the encounter distance (R) and indicated that the quenching reaction was held within the sphere of action. Diffusion-limited reactions were found to be more prominent in high polarity solvents, namely dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), DMF, ACN, methanol, ethanol, propanol and DCM. The relationships between quenching constant (KSV ) and dielectric constants (ε) of the different solvents were studied.
