Abstract
AbstractThe electronic structure and photophysical properties of several acrylaldehyde‐bridged deazaflavin derivatives (cFLs) were investigated theoretically. The impact of acrylaldehyde bridging on photophysical properties of deazaflavin (cFL) is strongly site‐dependent. Specifically, the change of adiabatic energy of electronic transitions(ΔEad) and vibronic coupling promote fluorescent emission to be comparable to internal conversion of cFL and cFL4 (both C5−C6 and C9−N10 bridged, but C9−N10 bridged by propene), turning them eligible as fluorescent sensors. As El‐Sayed's rule is satisfied in cFL1(C5−C6 bridged), cFL2(C9−N10 bridged) and cFL3(both C5−C6 and C9−N10 bridged), intersystem crossing from first singlet excited state to triplet excited states (Tn) become dominant and the evolution of excited cFLs from T1 appears vital. The rate constants of photophysical processes indicate these cFLs are of dominantly high steady state T1 concentration and are potential triplet sensitizers. We expect the findings would pave the way for rational design of novel cFLs with extraordinary photophysical properties.
