Abstract
Diphenyl fumarate is synthesized from maleic anhydride and phenol under solvent-free conditions. The structure of the product is characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. The molecular structure is optimized using the density functional theory approach at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level and the structural parameters are analyzed. Theoretical vibrational frequencies are investigated at the same level; the 1H NMR and 13C NMR are simulated using the default gauge-independent atomic orbital method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level and the solvation model density implicit continuum solvation model for chloroform; chemical shifts are scaled using scaling factors available on the cheshirenmr.info website (accessed 12 September 2021). In addition, the UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence emission are simulated using the time-dependent method at the PBE38/6-311G(d,p) level. All the calculated spectral values are compared with the experimental data. A generally good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results is found. The results reveal diphenyl fumarate as a candidate substrate for small-molecule organic fluorophores with a large Stokes shift. This work provides a detailed experimental and theoretical study on the structural and spectral properties of diphenyl fumarate, and thus provides proof for the novel applications of diphenyl fumarate and its derivatives.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Research is a peer reviewed journal that publishes full-length review and research papers in all branches of experimental chemistry. The journal fills a niche by also publishing short papers, a format which favours particular types of work, e.g. the scope of new reagents or methodology, and the elucidation of the structure of novel compounds. Though welcome, short papers should not result in fragmentation of publication, they should describe a completed piece of work. The Journal is not intended as a vehicle for preliminary publications. The work must meet all the normal criteria for acceptance as regards scientific standards. Papers that contain extensive biological results or material relating to other areas of science may be diverted to more appropriate specialist journals. Areas of coverage include: Organic Chemistry; Inorganic Chemistry; Materials Chemistry; Crystallography; Computational Chemistry.
