Abstract
Spectroscopic and photophysical properties have been measured in a variety of solvents for (2E,5E)-2-(p-cyanobenzylidene)-5-(p-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-cyclopentanone ( I), an asymmetrically substituted 2,5-diarylidene-cyclopentanone known to have potential for applications utilizing two-photon absorption (TPA). Compound I was synthesized by a simple procedure utilizing DIMCARB catalyst. Absorption and fluorescence maxima have been correlated with the E T(30) solvent polarity scale. Theoretical TD-DFT calculations and Lippert–Mataga analysis demonstrate the internal charge transfer (ICT) nature of the S 0 → S 1 excitation. Radiative and nonradiative decay constants have been determined from fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes. Substantial variation with solvent in the rate of nonradiative decay is interpreted in terms of a competition between internal conversion and intersystem crossing.
