RESUMO
Polycyclic aromatic azaborines have potential applications as luminophores, novel fluorescent materials, organic light-emitting diodes, and fluorescent sensors. Additionally, their relative structural simplicity should allow the use of computational techniques to design and screen novel compounds in a rapid manner. Herein, the absorption and emission maxima of twelve polycyclic aromatic BN-1,2-azaborine analogues containing the N-BOH moiety were examined to determine a methodology for reliably predicting both the energy and character (local excitation [LE] vs charge transfer [CT]) of the absorption and emission maxima for these compounds. The necessity of implicit solvation models was also investigated. The cam-QTP(01) functional with a small, double-ζ quality basis set provides reliable data compared to EOM-CCSD/cc-pVDZ single-point computations. Of note, commonly used functionals for these applications (B3LYP and ωB97xD) struggle to provide reliable results for both the energy and LE character of the transitions relative to EOM-CCSD computations.
RESUMO
Nine new polycyclic aromatic BN-1,2-azaborine analogues containing the N-BOH moiety were synthesized using a convenient two-step, one-pot procedure. Characterization of the prepared compounds show the luminescence wavelength and the quantum yields of the azaborines were tunable by controlling the power and location of the donor and acceptor substituents on the chromophore. UV-visible spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) computations revealed that the addition of electron-donating moieties to the isoindolinone hemisphere raised the energy of the HOMO, resulting in the reduction of the HOMO-LUMO gap. The addition of an electron-accepting moiety to the isoindolinone hemisphere and an electron-donating group to the boronic acid hemisphere decreased the HOMO-LUMO gap considerably, leading to emission properties from partial intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states. The combined effect of an acceptor on the isoindolinone side and a donor on the boronic acid side (strong acceptor-π-donor) gave the most red-shifted absorption. The polycyclic aromatic BN-1,2-azaborines emitted strong fluorescence in solution and in the solid-state with the largest red-shifted emission at 640 nm and a Stokes shift of Δλ = 218 nm, or Δν = 8070 cm-1.
RESUMO
Six new heteroaromatic polycyclic azaborine chromophores were designed, synthesized, and investigated as easily tunable high-luminescent organic materials. The impact of the nitrogen-boron-hydroxy (N-BOH) unit in the azaborines was investigated by comparison with their N-carbonyl analogs. Insertion of the N-B(OH)-C unit into heteroaromatic polycyclic compounds resulted in strong visible absorption and sharp fluorescence with efficient quantum yields. The solid-state fluorescence of the heteroaromatic polycyclic compounds displayed a large Stokes shift compared to being in solution. The large Stokes shifts observed offset the self-quench effect in the solid state.
RESUMO
An N,N-carbonyl-bridged dipyrrinone oxime has been synthesized and studied as a potential sensor for organophosphates. The molecular sensor underwent a drastic colorimetric response upon formation of the adduct. The pesticide dimethoate was found to produce the biggest spectral response, with a limit of detection equal to 4.0 ppm using UV-visible spectroscopy. Minimal fluorescence "turn on" via a PET mechanism was seen, and molecular modeling studies were used to explain the lower than expected PET response. The X-ray crystal structure of the fluorescent dipyrrinone oxime was also obtained.

The geometries and relative energies of new N,N carbonyl dipyrrinone-derived oxime molecules (E/Z-s-cis 4a and E/Z-s-cis 4b) have been investigated. The calculated energies, molecular geometries, and (1) H/(13) C NMR chemical shifts agree with experimental data, and the results are presented herein. The E-s-cis conformations of 4a and 4b and the Z-s-cis conformation of 5b were found to be the thermodynamically most stable isomers with the oxime hydrogen atom or the methyl functional group adopting an anti-orientation with respect to the dipyrrinone group. This conformation was unambiguously supported by a number of 2D NMR experiments.
