Oligo(phenothiazine)s: Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer and Aggregation-Induced Emission

Abstract

Two 9,10-divinylanthracene oligomers containing phenothiazines (AnPHZ2 and AnPHZ4) are synthesized, and their intramolecular charge transfer as well as aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties are investigated. Both oligomers show typical AIE properties as well as solvent polarity dependent emission. Time-resolved fluorescence spectra revealed that the twisted intramolecular charge transfer state formed in polar solvents accounts for the weak emission with large Stokes shifts, and the interactions between solvent and solutes facilitate the nonradiative decay. The restriction of intramolecular torsion induced by supramolecular interactions in aggregates eliminates the charge transfer state, thus resulting in efficient AIE.

Novel 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives used as selective fluorescent and colorimetric sensors for fluoride ion

“…[35][36][37] As shown in Fig. 9, the compounds (CBT-NH or PBT-NH) may exhibit an excited state intramolecular transfer (ESIPT) process [25,32], a similar phenomenon also has been reported by L. Wang [25] and Y. Pang [32]. When tetrabutylammonium fluoride was added to the system, the hydrogen bond would be destroyed by fluoride anion, and N-H proton would be captured by fluoride anion, this result could be proved by the addition of iodoethane.…”

Biotemplated synthesis of Au loaded Sn-doped TiO2 hierarchical nanorods using nanocrystalline cellulose and their applications in photocatalysis

“…Among them, Sn-doped TiO 2 (SDT) nanomaterials hold exciting implications for the phase transition and improving the stability of photocatalytic reaction. 16,17 But, how to enhance the photocatalytic effect of SDT remains a challenge. Recently, noble metal-TiO 2 heterostructure photocatalysts have attracted more attention owing to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and the effective charge carrier separation by forming a Schottky barrier at the metal/TiO 2 interface.…”
