Dipole moments of 4′-aminoflavonols determined using electro-optical absorption measurements or molecular Stark-effect spectroscopy
The electro-optical absorption measurements (EOAM) were used to measure the dipole moments of the normal form of 4 � -(methoxy)-3hydroxyflavone (FOM), 4 � -(dimethylamino)-3-hydroxyflavone (FME), and 4 � -N-(15-azacrown-5)-3-hydroxyflavone (FCR). For these probes the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) takes place. For comparison, the dipole moments of 4 � -(dimethylamino)-3methoxyflavone (FME3ME), for which ESIPT is lacking, were measured. In the case of FCR, FME, and FME3ME the equilibrated ground (µg) and excited Franck–Condon state (µ FC ) electrical dipole moments are parallel to each other and also parallel to the transition dipole moment. The electrical dipole moment…
Site selectivity in excited-state intramolecular proton transfer in flavonols
Abstract To investigate 4′-(diethylamino) (FET) and 4′-N-(15-azacrown-5) (FCR) derivatives of 3-hydroxyflavone in binary solvents and erythrocyte ghosts, we used the red-edge excitation spectroscopy (REES). The results obtained prove the existence of spectral heterogeneity of flavonols in the studied systems. The effect manifests itself in the dependence of the efficiency of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) on the excitation frequency. The electro-optical absorption method (EOAM) was used to measure the dipole moments of the normal form of FET. The electric dipole moments in the ground (μg) and excited Franck–Condon ( μ e FC ) states have the values 22.7×10−30 and 53.3×1…
Specific orientation of dipole moments in azocrown cetocyanine dyes determined by electrooptical absorption measurements (EOAM)
Abstract From electrooptical absorption measurements (EOAM) follows that the dipole moments of azacrown ketocyanine dyes 2,5-di{(E)-1-[4-(4,7,10,13-tetraoxa-1-azacyclopentadecyl)phenyl]methylidene}-1-cyclopentanone (Compound 1) and (E)-1-(2-hydroxy-4methoxyphenyl)-3-[4-(4,7,10,13-tetraoxa-1-azacyclopentadecyl)phenyl]-2-propen-1-one (Compound 2) in the equilibrium ground state μg and the change of dipole moments upon transition to the excited Franck–Condon state Δaμ are large. This alteration causes a significant long-wavelength shift of the absorption and emission spectra, as well as large fluorescence Stokes shift with increasing polarity of the solvent. From the DFT calculations follows t…
