Abstract
To elucidate the relationship between the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism of 9,10-dihydroxybenzo[h]quinoline (9-10-HBQ) and the influence of solvents, for better application. This paper focuses on the investigation of hydrogen bond geometric changes, the ESIPT mechanism, and its behavior modulated by solvent polarity. The structural parameters of the ground-state (S0) and excited-state (S1) related to the hydrogen bond (O1H2⋯O3), along with the infrared vibrational spectra, core-valence bifurcation (CVB) index, hydrogen bond bond-critical point (BCP) parameters, RDG function isosurfaces, and scatter plots, reveal that the enhanced hydrogen bond strength in the S1 state promotes the ESIPT behavior of 9-10-HBQ-PT1. Further frontier molecular orbital and natural Population Analysis (NPA) charge analyses indicate that intramolecular charge redistribution facilitates the ESIPT process. Based on the analysis of potential energy curves, transition states (TS), and intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) pathways, we found that the reaction energy barriers can be tuned by the solvent. For example, in cyclohexane (Cy), toluene (Tol), chloroform (TCM), and acetonitrile (ACN), the reaction energy barriers were 7.12 kcal/mol, 7.25 kcal/mol, 7.65 kcal/mol, and 8.15 kcal/mol, respectively.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
