ABSTRACT
Novel fluorescent strigolactone derivatives that contain the piperidine-substituted 1,8-naphthalimide ring system connected through an ether link to a bioactive 3-methyl-furan-2-one unit were synthesized and their spectroscopic properties investigated. The solvatochromic behavior of these piperidine-naphthalimides was monitored in solvents of different polarity using the electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra. These compounds exhibited a strong positive solvatochromism taking into account the change of solvent polarity, and the response mechanism was analyzed by fluorescence lifetime measurements. According to Catalan and [f(n), f(ε), ß, α] solvent scales, the dipolarity and polarizability are relevant to describe the solute-solvent interactions. The emission chemosensing activity was discussed in order to determine the water content in organic environments. The emission intensity of these compounds decreased rapidly in dioxane, increasing water level up to 10%. Measuring of quantum yield indicated that the highest values of quantum efficiency were obtained in nonpolar solvents, while in polar solvents these derivatives revealed the lowest quantum yield. The fluorescence decay can be described by a monoexponential model for low water levels, and for higher water contents a biexponential model was valid.
