Protonation induced shifting of electron-accepting centers in intramolecular charge transfer chromophores: a theoretical study
Literature Information
Tao Tang, Hong Chi, Tingting Lin
A new series of chameleonic molecules containing azulene and benzothiadiazole (BT) were designed and synthesized. In the neutral state, BT functions as an electron accepting center, while upon protonation, the electron accepting center shifts to azulene moieties, leading to a remarkable extension of absorption to the NIR region, i.e. up to 2.5 μm. The interchange between donor and acceptor characters upon protonation was confirmed by UV-vis-NIR spectral studies and supported by DFT calculations. Furthermore, the HOMO–LUMO level of ICT chromophores could be finely tailored by a different arrangement of azulenes and BTs in the molecules. The interchange between donor and acceptor characters upon protonation provides an alternative yet effective approach to fine tune optical and electronic properties of NIR chromophores.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
