Abstract
In this study, we have formulated and synthesized two compounds, HPHNP and HPOMNP, by engaging in chemical reactions that involve pyrimidine bishydrazides with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde, respectively. The compound HPHNP displays partial excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) characteristics in non-polar aprotic solvents due to a phenolic group. Both HPHNP and HPOMNP exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior in DMF-water mixtures, with varying water fractions. We investigated how HPHNP and HPOMNP behave when exposed to mechanical pressure and found a remarkable effect called molecular motion or self-recovery. Solid-state emission experiments, PXRD measurements, and theoretical analyses support this observation. Moreover, HPHNP serves as an efficient fluorescent probe for detecting Al3+ and pyrophosphate (PPi) ions in a DMF-water mixture with an 80% water fraction. The potential for solid-state motion is expected to have a crucial role in advancing molecular machines, and we anticipate that our findings will inspire other researchers by highlighting the utilization of intermolecular forces to achieve solid-state motion.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
