A DFT-based comparative study on the excited states intramolecular proton transfer in 1-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-3-naphthaldehyde

چکیده
Potential energy (PE) curves for the intramolecular proton transfer in the ground (GSIPT) and excited (ESIPT) states of 1-hydroxy-2naphthaldehyde (1H2NA) and 2-hydroxy-3-naphthaldehyde (2H3NA) were studied using DFT/B3LYP(6-31G) and TD-DFT/ B3LYP(6-31G) level of theory, respectively. Our calculations suggest the non-viability of ground state intramolecular proton transfer for both the compounds. Excited states PE calculations support the ESIPT process to both 1H2NA and 2H3NA. The wide difference in ESIPT emission process of 1H2NA and 2H3NA have been explained in terms of HOMO and LUMO electron density of the enol and keto tautomer of these two compounds. 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Photophysics of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde semicarbazone (2HNS) and the corresponding thiosemicarbazone (2HNT) are explored in n-heptane and methanol as solvents, focusing on the intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in the ground (S0) and the first excited singlet (S1) states using absorption, steady state and time-resolved fluorometric techniques. The feasibility of the IPT process in the two ...
متن کامل4-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydes: proton transfer or deprotonation.
A series of naphthaldehydes, including a Mannich base, have been investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, NMR and theoretical methods to explore their potential tautomerism. In the case of 4-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde concentration dependent deprotonation has been detected in methanol and acetonitrile. For 4-hydroxy-3-(piperidin-1-ylmethyl)-1-naphthaldehyde (a Mannich base) an intramolecular proton t...

Schiff bases derived from hydroxyl naphthaldehydes and o-substituted anilines have been prepared and their tautomerism assessed by spectroscopic, crystallographic, and computational methods. Tautomeric equilibria have also been studied and reveal in most cases a slight preference of imine tautomers in solution; a fact supported by DFT calculations in the gas phase as well as incorporating solve...
