RESUMO
Polarized IR spectra of 2-thiopheneacetic acid and of 2-thiopheneacrylic acid crystals were measured at 293 and 77 K in the υ(O-H) and υ(O-D) band frequency ranges. The corresponding spectra of the two individual systems strongly differ, one from the other, by the corresponding band shapes as well as by the temperature effect characterizing the bands. The crystal spectral properties remain in close relation with the electronic structure of the two different molecular systems. We show that a vibronic coupling mechanism involving the hydrogen bond protons and the electrons on the π- electronic systems in the molecules determines the way in which the vibrational exciton coupling between the hydrogen bonds in the carboxylic acid dimers occurs. Strong coupling in 2-thiopheneacrylic acid dimers prefers a "tail-to-head"-type Davydov coupling widespread by the π- electrons. A weak through-space coupling in 2-thiopheneacetic acid dimers, of a van der Waals type, is responsible for a "side-to-side"-type coupling. The relative contribution of each exciton coupling mechanism in the dimer spectra generation is temperature and the molecular electronic structure dependent. This explains the observed difference in the temperature- induced evolution of the compared spectra.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT: A series of mono-alkylcarboxylic acid derivatives of tetraphenylporphyrin have been prepared. All the porphyrins were completely characterized by use of mass, 1H NMR, UV-visible, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Experimental log P were determined by use of reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography with use of log PRekker. These porphyrins are potential photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy.
