Abstract
Excited state intramolecular proton transfer inspired 3-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde, showing solid state fluorescence has been synthesized. Existence of excited state intramolecular proton transfer process between carbonyl group and phenolic OH group has been theoretically predicted using computational method. Density functional theory and time dependent density functional theory computations have been used to investigate structural parameters and understand the photophysical properties of the synthesized carbaldehyde. The photophysical properties of carbaldehyde were evaluated using UV–Visible and fluorescence spectroscopy and are found to be very sensitive to the microenvironment such as solvent polarity and pH. The experimental absorption–emission a results are correlated with the computed values. The increase in the dipole moment of A2-Keto* than A2-Enol* suggested the presence of keto form in the excited state and which is responsible for the single fluorescence emission with a large Stokes shift in all solvents.
