At the room temperature, fluorescence intensities of these chemosensors in acetonitrile without transition metal ions were found to be very weak, due to the process of the efficient intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer （PET）. However, after addition of the transition metal ions, the chemoscnsor 1-3 exhibits obvious fluorescence enhancement. Moreover, the intensity of the fluorescence emission of chemosensors increases significantly in the presence of Zn^2＋ and Cd^2＋. The fluorescent chemosensors with different polyamine as receptors show diverse affinity abilities to the transition metal ions and signal the receptor-metal ion interaction by the intensity change of fluorescence emission.展开更多

Four functionals and ten basis sets are employed for 1 to calculate the electron transition energies, which were compared with the experimental observations. Our results reveal that the B3LYP/6-311＋G（d,p） method is the best choice to reproduce the experimental spectra. Moreover, the effects of substituents on the molecular geometries, electronic structures, absorption and emission spectra are also studied at the B3LYP/6-311＋G（d,p） level. We find that the gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital（HOMO） and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital（LUMO） decreases with increasing the number of tert-butyl substituents onto the phenoxy groups, suggesting red-shift of the absorption and emission bands. This is related to the increase of conjugation from 1 to 2 and 3. Our calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results.展开更多

The substituent at C-4 position was double bromine, which defined that the halogen as an alkylating reagent should be further researched and detected for Hg2＋. Therefore, the N-n-butyl-4-[di（bromoethyl）]amino-1,8-naphthalimide has been synthesized to detect some metal ions. The title compound has been prepared via substitute reaction and was characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13 C NMR, and MS. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.0071（18）, b = 9.804（2）, c = 13.073（3）A, α = 73.17（3）, β = 71.73（3）, γ = 62.95（3）°, Z = 2, V = 961.5（3） A3, Dc = 1.666 g/cm3, F（000） = 484, μ（Mo Kα） = 4.232 mm-1, R = 0.0429 and w R = 0.1004. The presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds as well as π-π stacking interaction led to the stability of the compound. The fluorescence intensity was obviously lower than that of other ions when Hg2＋ was added with the concentration of 1 × 10^-5 mol·L-1.展开更多

For the two compounds, density functional theory（DFT） calculations of the structures and natural population atomic charge analysis have been performed at the B3LYP/6-311G＊＊ level of theory. Based on Onsager reaction filed model and by using TD-DFT method at the B3LYP/6-311G＊＊ level, electron spectra of 1 and 2 with solvent effect in CHCl3 solvent have been predicted, which are in agreement with the experimental ones. Comparative studies on 1 and 2 indicate that introducing an electron-withdrawing group of Br into the 4-position of naphthalene ring in 2 does not significantly make the molecular geometry of 2 different from that of 1, but evidently changes the atomic charge redistribution, moves the positive-negative charges center and then changes the dipole moment in 2. Additionally, for compound 2, the existence of Br atom has also influenced the peak intensity and peak locations in both electron and fluorescence spectra.展开更多
