Three new 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives M1–M3 with different substituents at the C-4 position have been synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical properties have been investigated in organic solvents of different polarity, and their fluorescence intensity was found to depend strongly on both the polarity of the solvents and the type of substituent at C-4. For compounds M1 and M2 having a tertiary amino group linked via an ethylene bridge to the chromophore system, high quantum yield was observed only in non-polar media, whereas for compound M3, the quantum efficiency did not depend on the medium polarity. The effect of different metal ions (Ag+, Ba2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Mg2+, Pb2+, Sr2+, Fe3+, and Sn2+) on the fluorescence emission of compounds M1 and M2 was investigated. A significant enhancement has been observed in the presence of Ag+, Pb2+, Sn2+, Co2+, Fe3+, as this effect is expressed more preferably in the case of M2. Both compounds have shown significant pH dependence, as the fluorescence intensity was low in alkaline medium and has been enhanced more than 20-fold in acidic medium. The metal ions and pH do not affect the fluorescence intensity of M3. Density-functional theory (DFT) and Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) quantum chemical calculations are employed in deciphering the intimate mechanism of sensor mechanism. The functional properties of M1 and M2 were compared with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers of different generations modified with 1,8-naphthalimide.

AbstractIn the present study, a chromene-appended pyrimidone derivative (PBA) has been synthesized in order to account for the relationship between chemical structure and charge transport properties. The optical properties of PBA were studied in different solvents; it displays a weak emission profile in polar protic solvents but is highly emissive in polar aprotic solvents. Quantum chemical approaches on this molecule were performed in detail to highlight the importance of and to better understand the structural and electronic effects of introducing substituted pyrimidone rings in a polyaromatic molecule to support the development of new optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. We shed light on the frontier molecular orbital, electron injection, electronic coupling constant, light harvesting efficiency, and photophysical properties of PBA by using density functional theory and time domain density functional theory. The absorption spectra (λa) and fluorescence emission spectra (λf) were computed in different solvents (Methanol, Ethanol, Butanol, Hexane, Chloroform and DMF) at the TD-B3LYP/6-31G** and TD-PBE/6-31G** levels of theory, and it was determined that the TD-B3LYP/6-31G** level is more accurate in the reproduction of experimental λa and λf in various solvents. Furthermore, no significant effect was observed on the λa and λf by changing the solvent polarity.

The crystal structure of the title bifunctional silicon-bridged compound, C35H31NSi, (I), has been determined. The compound crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space groupP21/c. In the crystal structure, the pairs of aryl rings in the two different chromophores,i.e.9-phenyl-9H-carbazole and 9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene, are positioned orthogonally. In the crystal packing, no classical hydrogen bonding is observed. UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra show that the central Si atom successfully breaks the electronic conjugation between the two different chromophores, and this was further analysed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
