The spectroscopic properties of 1-phenyl-3-benzothiazol-2-yl-5-(4-R-phenyl)-2-pyrazolines are strongly dependent on both the electronic nature of the substituent R and solvent polarity. As revealed by spectroscopic studies as a function of solvent polarity as well as temperature, for electron-rich amino donor substituents in polar solvents, deactivation of the strongly emissive charge transfer (CT) state of the basic 1-phenyl-3-benzothiazol-2-yl-2-pyrazoline chromophore has to compete with a fast intramolecular electron transfer (ET) quenching reaction. In the case of the dimethylamino derivative (R = DMA), the rate constant of ET in acetonitrile was determined to ket = 3 × 1010 s-1. This ET process can be utilized for metal ion sensing by introducing nitrogen containing aza crown ether receptor units to the 4-position of the 5-phenyl group. The spectroscopically determined ET rates of the 5-(N-alkyl)anilino substituents, a DMA, a tetrathia- (AT415C5), and a tetraoxa-monoaza-15-crown-5 (A15C5) group, correlate with electrochemical data and increase in the order AT415C5 < A15C5 < DMA. The metal ion sensing abilities of the two crowned derivatives are presented, and the different signaling mechanisms include binding to the crown ether in the 4-R-position, chelate formation in the 3-benzothiazol-2-yl-2-pyrazoline moiety, and electrophotochemical detection. Furthermore, the rigid "pseudo spiro" geometry of the molecules, which holds the three substituents of the central 2-pyrazoline ring in a fixed prearrangement, was confirmed by X-ray structure analysis.
For the fluorescent ligand 1-(9-anthrylcarbonyl)-3,3-tetramethylenethiourea with Cu(ClO4)2 or strong acids an unusual rearrangement reaction occurred yielding a highly emissive S-(9-anthryl)isothiouronium salt. This rearrangement product was characterised by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis as well as absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Additionally, the chemical and complexation behaviour of the N-anthrylcarbonylthiourea derivative is compared to that of its naphthyl and phenyl analogues.
The photophysical properties of several newly synthesized 1-benzothiazole-3-(4-donor)-phenyl-substituted prop-2-en-1-ones (substituted chalcones) are studied as a function of solvent polarity, temperature, and metal ion by employing steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy. To investigate the effect of bulkiness and donor strength of the anilino moiety on the spectroscopic properties of these dyes, the spectroscopic behavior of the 4-N-dimethylamino (DMA), the 4-N-tetraoxa-monoaza-15-crown-5 (A15C5), and the 4-N-tetrathia-monoaza-15-crown-5 (AT415C5) derivatives as well as the 3-julolidino (Jul) analogue is compared. Absorption and fluorescence measurements reveal that the strength of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process increases on the order of AT415C5 < A15C5 ~ DMA < Jul. The slight but significant differences between the two crowned dyes are well-supported by the results of the X-ray structure analysis, where oxa aza and thia aza crowns show essentially different geometries. For both fluoroionophores, this variation of heteroatom substitution pattern of the receptor induces specific cation selectivities. The spectroscopic effects accompanying complexation and the different binding sites are studied by steady-state and time-resolved optical spectroscopy as well as NMR spectroscopy. Whereas the probe carrying a tetraoxa monoaza 15-crown-5 receptor shows cation-induced fluorescence enhancement in the presence of alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions, its tetrathia analogue binds selectively to HgII, AgI, and CuII in acetonitrile. Moreover, an increase in fluorescence is observed for the latter probe even upon coordination to the widely known fluorescence quencher HgII. Besides receptor complexation, chelate formation in the benzothiazole-carbonyl acceptor part of these intrinsic fluorescent probes is possible, leading to a chromoionophoric signaling behavior in the near-infrared (NIR).
