Abstract
Organophosphonates are biogenic and xenobiotic compounds extensively utilized in a range of technological applications associated with agricultural, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. In this regard, three novel mono/di/tri α-aminophosphonate-functionalized triphenylamines (mono- = CPMP, di- = CPDP, and tri- = CPTP) were synthesized through the formation of CP bonds. All the products were structurally characterized by spectroscopic and analytical techniques, including the single-crystal XRD analysis of CPMP. Furthermore, these newly identified probes showed remarkable photophysical properties in an array of organic solvents with high quantum yields. A unique and extremely high range of Stokes shifts (179–194 nm) was observed for these molecules. A notable aggregation behavior for CPMP, CPDP, and CPTP in the binary mixture (H2O: THF, v/v) was observed through atomic force microscopic and scanning electron microscopic techniques by analyzing the particle topography and size of aggregated species. The data revealed that CPMP (70 % H2O/THF), CPDP (70 % H2O/THF), and CPTP (30 % H2O/THF) exhibited significant emission levels. Additionally, the fluorophores were evaluated for MCF-7 (breast cancer cells), revealing an efficacy of IC50 (37–49 μM) in inhibiting the growth of these cancer cells. The experimental validation was substantiated by the implementation of DFT calculations.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
