Popis: | Fluorescent response to pH has been studied on water-soluble pyrene-based bichromophores, (edtapy)H2 and (dtpapy)H3, in which two pyrenyl groups are linked by an ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) and a diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA) unit, respectively, through amide linkages. The excimer emission of the EDTA derivative is strengthened sharply with increasing pH at two steps; the first step is associated with the dissociation of acidic hydrogen from amino nitrogen in partially protonated species (edtapy)H− and the second step is attributable to the amide group. The excitation spectra have evidenced the formation of a static excimer in the ground state of completely deprotonated species (edtapy)2 − . The close contact between pyrenyl groups in (edtapy)2 − has been confirmed by density functional theory, which has also shown that the close contact is broken when amino nitrogen is protonated. The DTPA derivative exhibits a strong excimer emission, which shows an intensity–pH profile of an ‘off–on–of... |
