The paper deals with the spectral properties of dyes with interfragmental charge transfer, in particular, derivatives of 2-(3-coumaroyl)benzopyrylium (CBP) perchlorates. The positions of long-wavelength absorption and emission bands, quantum yields, and lifetimes of fluorescence were measured, mostly in aprotic solvents. Regression analysis of the relationship between the spectral characteristics of CBP and the main solvent parameters (polarity, polarisability, nucleophilicity, and electrophilicity) was carried out. It was found that the characteristics of CBP depend mainly on two solvent parameters—polarity and/or nucleophilicity. An increase in these parameters results in a hypsochromic shift of absorption bands and a decrease of lifetimes and fluorescence intensity. The positions of the emission bands can demonstrate either hypsochromism or bathochromism, depending on the nature of the substituents. The solvatofluorochromic effects are not as strong as the solvatochromic ones. We believe that the spectral behaviour of CBP can be explained by cation depolarisation and by a decrease in the stability of nucleophilic complexes with solvent molecules that is associated with interfragmental charge transfer following excitation, relaxation, and radiative deactivation of the excited state.

With the focus of designing new fluorescent probes, four new 3-hydroxy-chromone derivatives bearing benzofuran and naphthofuran groups were synthesized. They show bathochromic absorption shifts relative to 3-hydroxyflavone with the ability of retention to display the excited-state proton transfer. Disruption of the planarity by the methyl group in the furan ring leads to a decrease of both the extinction coefficient and the contribution of long wavelength absorption band, while molecules without a methyl group showed two distinct absorption bands. Shifts to longer wavelengths are also observed in fluorescent spectra, and the absence of the methyl group results in a dramatic increase of fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime. Of the extended 3-hydroxychromone derivatives, 3-hydroxy-2-naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-chromone has shown comparable, and in some cases better, absorption and fluorescence properties than the 3-hydroxychromones synthesized so far, which make it a highly promising candidate as molecular probe for analytical chemistry, biophysics, and cellular biology.Key words: benzo- and naphthofuryl-3-hydroxyflavone, synthesis, electronic spectra, fluorescence, excited state proton transfer.

The π-electrons of a linear conjugated system are considered in terms of two simple models for the potential energy, (A) a rectangular well and (B) a " cosine-squared " well. In each case it is possible to account quantitatively for the positions of long wavelength absorption bands, their intensities, and the ionization energies in ethylene, butadiene, hexatriene, and octatetraene with the use of two parameters, the breadth and depth of the well. By comparing the models with actual periodic potential energies calculated along the long axes of polyene molecules, it is shown that an effective nuclear charge of carbon of Z?≈1 is appropriate for the models under consideration. The assumptions involved in the application of simple one-dimensional potential energy functions to linear conjugated systems are considered in detail.

The intense long-wavelength absorption of Naphthol Green B at λmax = 712 nm is assigned to a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (MLCT) transition. LMCT excitation of the complex in aqueous solution leads to the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) with a quantum yield of ϕ = 1.14×10−3 at λirr = 577 nm.

The complex CuI(COD)(hfac) with COD = 1,5- cyclooctadiene and hfac = hexafluoroacetyl-acetonate shows two long-wavelength absorptions at λmax = 308 and 241 nm which are assigned to hfac intraligand (IL) and CuI →COD metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transitions, respectively. The photolysis of CuI(COD)(hfac) in hexane leads to the release of the olefin and the subsequent disproportionation of CuI(hfac) to elemental copper and CuII(hfac)2 with the quantum yields Φ = 10−3 at λirr =313 nm and Φ = 3×10−3 at λirr = 254 nm. It is suggested that the reactive excited state is of the MLCT type.

A novel class of quinolinol-based dimeric indium complexes (1–6) was synthesized and characterized using 1H and 13C(1H) NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Compounds 1–6 exhibited typical low-energy absorption bands assignable to quinolinol-centered π–π* charge transfer (CT) transition. The emission spectra of 1–6 exhibited slight bathochromic shifts with increasing solvent polarity (p-xylene < tetrahydrofuran (THF) < dichloromethane (DCM)). The emission bands also showed a gradual redshift, with an increase in the electron-donating effect of substituents at the C5 position of the quinoline groups. The absolute emission quantum yields (ΦPL) of compounds 1 (11.2% in THF and 17.2% in film) and 4 (17.8% in THF and 36.2% in film) with methyl substituents at the C5 position of the quinoline moieties were higher than those of the indium complexes with other substituents.

Abstract The electronic spectrum of Cp2TiS5 shows a long-wavelength absorption at λ max = 492 nm which is assigned to the lowest-energy S52- → TiIV ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transition. The photolysis of the complex in CH2CI2 leads to the formation of Cp2TiCl2 and elemental sulfur. It is suggested that LMCT excitation initiates a reductive elimination with the extrusion of S5 while the reduced titanocene is reoxidized by the solvent.
