Intramolecular charge transfer and dual fluorescence of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile: ultrafast branching followed by a two-fold decay mechanism.

چکیده
In this contribution we present new experimental and theoretical results for the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) reaction underlying the dual fluorescence of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN), which indicate that the fully twisted ICT (TICT) state is responsible for the time-resolved transient absorption spectrum while a distinct partially twisted ICT (pTICT) structure is suggested for the fluorescent ICT state.

A theoretical study of the intramolecular charge transfer in 4-(dimethylamino)benzethyne.
We have investigated the non-adiabatic relaxation processes occurring in the singlet manifold of 4-(dimethylamino)benzethyne (DMABE), a molecule isoelectronic with 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN) but lacking its characteristic dual fluorescence, using multireference perturbation theory methods. The results obtained point out to the existence of a two-fold decay mechanism in which the popu...
متن کاملFluorescence of crystalline 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile. Absence of dual fluorescence and observation of single-exponential fluorescence decays
The fluorescence spectrum of crystals grown from newly synthesized 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN), measured from 25 down to )112 C, consists of a single emission band originating from a locally excited (LE) state. The fluorescence decay of the DMABN crystals is single exponential at all temperatures investigated. These results show that intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) does not occur...

The structural processes leading to dual fluorescence of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile in the gas phase and in acetonitrile solvent were investigated using a combination of multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) and the second-order algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC(2)) methods. Solvent effects were included on the basis of the conductor-like screening model. The MRCI method was...
متن کاملIntramolecular charge transfer of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile probed by time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption: No evidence for two ICT states and a pisigma( *) reaction intermediate.
For the double exponential fluorescence decays of the locally excited (LE) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN) in acetonitrile (MeCN) the same times tau(1) and tau(2) are observed. This means that the reversible LE<==>ICT reaction, starting from the initially excited LE state, can be adequately described by a two state mechanism. The most imp...

During the past several years, the field of electro optical organic and nonlinear optical material has received extensive attention [1-3] because of their possible application as fluorescence probes, electro optical switches and chemical sensors. Due to the electron donating and accepting groups on opposite sides, such material, which is connected by a highly delocalized electron system, is imp...
