Solvatochromic donor-π -acceptor (D-π -A) charge transfer dyes have been great attention from the viewpoint of their applicability as probes for the determination of solvent polarity and colorimetric chemosensors. In this work, novel solvatochromic fluorophore dyes based on D-π -A charge transfer system were designed and synthesized containing a strong electron-donating unit as a carbazole moiety and three different strong electronwithdrawing units. The corresponding molecular design and the optical properties of the D-π -A dyes were examined in various solutions with widely different polarity. The prepared dyes were found to exhibit a positive fluorescence solvatochromism. Furthermore, the energy properties of these dyes were also computationally optimized and calculated by computational simulation approaches using Material Studio 4.3 and electrochemical measurement.
Recently, photophysical property with fluorescence function has been attracted and studied because there are promising potentials in academic and industrial applications. Organic materials having fluorescence effect, especially fluorochromism can be utilized in the sensing or probing with absorption/emission changes. Herein, the prepared dye chromophore can be changed to their optical properties with polar/non-polar environmental media. In this work, we synthesized a new fluorochromism dye, namely 5-[2-(4-diphenylamino-phenyl)-vinyl]-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxane-4,6-dione using 3-formyl triphenylamine and 2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxane-4,6-dione. We investigated absorption and fluorescent emission in various solvent media. Furthermore, cyclovoltammogram was used to determine energy levels of HOMO/LUMO from their redox onset potentials. Measured energy levels of HOMO/LUMO were compared with the results of simulated computational calculation.
