2,4,5-Triaryl imidazole probes for the selective chromo-fluorogenic detection of Cu(II). Prospective use of the Cu(II) complexes for the optical reco…

2019

The sensing behaviour toward metal cations and biothiols of two 2,4,5-triarylimidazole probes (3a and 3b) is tested in acetonitrile and in acetonitrile-water. In acetonitrile the two probes present charge-transfer absorption bands in the 320-350 nm interval. Among all cations tested only Cu(11) is able to induce bathochromic shifts of the absorption band in the two probes, which is reflected in marked colour changes. Colour modulations are ascribed to the formation of 1:1 Cu(II)-probe complexes in which the cation interacts with the imidazole acceptor heterocycle. Besides, the two probes present intense emission bands (at 404 and 437 nm for 3a and 3b respectively) in acetonitrile that are q…

A dual channel sulphur-containing a macrocycle functionalised BODIPY probe for the detection of Hg(II) in a mixed aqueous solution

2018

We report herein the synthesis and chromo-fluorogenic behaviour of a new probe 1 containing a boron-dipirromethene (BODIPY) unit electronically connected with a dithia-dioxa-aza macrocycle. Acetonitrile and water-acetonitrile 95:5 v/v solutions of the probe showed an ICT band in the visible zone and are nearly non-emissive. When acetonitrile was used as solvent, addition of Hg(II) and trivalent metal cations induced an hypsochromic shift of the absorption band and moderate emission enhancements. A highly selective response was obtained when using competitive media such as wateracetonitrile 95:5 v/v. In this case only Hg(II) induced a hypsochromic shift of the absorption band and a marked em…

Chromo-Fluorogenic Detection of Nerve-Agent Mimics Using Triggered Cyclization Reactions in Push-Pull Dyes

2010

A family of azo and stilbene derivatives (1-9) are synthesized, and their chromo-fluorogenic behavior in the presence of nerve-agent simulants, diethylchlorophosphate (DCP), diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), and diethylcyanophosphate (DCNP) in acetonitrile and mixed solution of water/acetonitrile (3:1 v/v) buffered at pH 5.6 with MES, is investigated. The prepared compounds contain 2-(2-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)ethanol or 2-[(2-N,N-dimethylamino)phenoxy]ethanol reactive groups, which are part of the conjugated pi-system of the dyes and are able to give acylation reactions with phosphonate substrates followed by a rapid intramolecular N-alkylation. The nerve-agent mimic-triggered cyclization …

Extension of Conjugation Leading to Bathochromic or Hypsochromic Effects in OPV Series

2004

Four OPV series 1-4 (a-d) with a terminal dialkylamino group as electron donor were prepared by Wittig-Horner reactions. To study the influence of the push-pull effect on the long-wavelength absorption, three of the four series contained terminal acceptor groups (CN, CHO, NO(2)). The length of the chromophores strongly affects the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-an effect which superimposes upon the extension of the conjugation. Increasing numbers n of repeat units cause an overall bathochromic shift for the purely donor-substituted series 1 a-4 a and the series 1 b-4 b with CN as weak acceptor. The two effects annihilate each other in the series 1 c-4 c with terminal CHO groups, so th…

"Though It Be but Little, It Is Fierce": Excited State Engineering of Conjugated Organic Materials by Fluorination.

2016

Fluorination is frequently used to significantly change the properties of conjugated organic materials due to fluorine’s exceptional properties; well-known is its impact on electronic structure, but it also impacts the geometry despite fluorine’s small size. Less known, the changes in the electronic and geometrical properties may provoke drastic changes of the excited state properties like batho- and hypsochromic shifts of absorption and emission bands (inter alia leading to excited state switching), hypo- and hyperchromic effects, spectral broadening, and changes of the nonradiative deactivation pathways. The state of the art on these issues is summarized in the current Perspective to stim…

Oligo(phenylenevinylene)s with reactive side chains: amine- and amide-bound alkoxysilanes

2002

Strongly luminescent oligo(phenylenevinylene) chromophores with monodisperse chain lengths are connected via short spacers containing a secondary amine or amide with di- and tri-ethoxysilane groups. The alkoxysilanes can be hydrolysed and condensed to cyclic and linear oligomers with high film forming capability and are also interesting functional units for hybrid materials for electro-optical applications. The luminescence properties in the solid state are influenced by hydrogen bonding of the amides resulting in strong hypsochromic shifts. The synthesis of the title compounds, their oligomerisation and the electronic spectra in the solution and solid state are presented.

Optical sensing responses of CrIIICl(TPP)(H2O)-based coatings obtained by an atmospheric pressure plasma method – Application to the detection of vol…

2014

Food spoilage processes are a considerable concern for both the food industry and the consumer, due to financial, food quality and food safety aspects. A primary issue is the prevention/monitoring of the formation of biogenic and volatile amines, such as occurring in fish and in other microbiologically unstable food items rich in proteins, produced by e.g. oxidative decarboxylation of amino acids. One strategy for their monitoring is the development of films with colorimetric sensing properties that are able to indicate food spoilage. The aim of this investigation was the development of a novel metalloporphyrin-based coating allowing the sensitive detection of typical volatile amines, such …

Physicochemical properties of Ru(bpy)32+ entrapped in silicate bulks and fiber thin films prepared by the sol–gel method

1999

Silicate porous xerogels doped with ruthenium bipyridine (Ru(bpy)32+) complex have been obtained in the bulk form and in thin films on optical fibers. The hypsochromic shifts in the absorption and emission maxima are accompanied by fourfold increase in the lifetimes of the entrapped complex. The temperature-dependent lifetimes reveal that silicate xerogels induce two competing thermally activated processes in the excited state decay of the immobilized complex. The excited state lifetimes of the doped bulk xerogels and the fibers coated with thin films containing Ru(bpy)32+ are virtually identical to those obtained for the fibers coated with additional gas-impermeable layers.
