Abstract
Inspired by distinguished characteristics of novel optical materials, there has been significant research interest in organic molecules that present excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) properties. Given the vital effects of substituent effect on molecular designs, in this study, we focus on probing into excited state behaviors of NHBQ-NO2 (i.e., submitted by strong electron-withdrawing group -NO2) and NHBQ-NH2 (i.e., submitted by strong electron-donating group -NH2). Exploring hydrogen bonding effects via photoexcitation, we verify the impact of substituent effect (-NO2 and -NH2) on interactions involving photo-induced hydrogen bonding effects, redistribution of charges, and associated phenomena related to ESIPT reaction. By comparing and quantifying the barriers for reactions in relative excited state, our results indicate electron-donating substituent -NH2 enhances the ESIPT reaction for NHBQ fluorophore.
