A series of N-bonded donor-acceptor derivatives of phenothiazine containing phenyl (PHPZ), anisyl (ANPZ), pyridyl (PYPZ), naphthyl (NAPZ), acetylphenyl (APPZ), and cyanophenyl (CPPZ) as an electron acceptor have been synthesized. Their photophysical properties were investigated in solvents of different polarities by absorption and emission techniques. These studies clearly revealed the existence of an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited state in the latter four compounds. The solvent dependent Stokes shift values were analyzed by the modified Lippert-Mataga equation to obtain the excited state dipole moment values. The large excited state dipole moment suggests that the full (or nearly full) electron transfer take place in the A-D systems. In the system of A-D phenothiazine derivatives, the transition dipole moments M flu were determined mainly by direct interactions between the solvent-equilibrated fluorescence 1 CT state and ground state because of their lack of significant change with increase of the solvent polarity. The electron structure and molecular conformation of phenothiazine derivatives will be significantly changed with the increase of the electron affinity of the N-10 substituent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
