Synthesis of 2-methyl-5-(5-phenyl substituted-1,3,4 oxadiazole-2-yl) quinazolin-4-one fluorescent brightening agent: Computational and experimental comparison of photophysical structure

Report is about the synthesized new range of oxadiazole substituted quinazoline and studied its electronic distribution to attribute fluorescent properties. B3LYP Density Functional Theory (DFT) computational optimization was studied to observe the effect of electron donor and acceptor substituent's on photophysical properties, electronic state and energy level. DFT computational optimization was performed by Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) of solvation strictly in the gas phase and DMF maintaining C1 symmetry in ground state geometry structure. UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopic methods help in understanding the relationship between the electron donor and acceptor functional groups on the photophysical properties. Eventually comparing experimental spectral emission and DFT computations were envisage understanding the changes of the electronic transition, energy levels, and electronic orbital distribution in the substituted quinazoline structure. These compounds have good fluorescent brightening properties hence studied and applied as fluorescent brightening agent on polyester fiber.

A Theoretical Study on Electronically Excited States of the Hydrogen-Bonded Clusters for Fluorenone and Fluorenone Derivatives in Methanol Solvent

The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method has been carried out to study the hydrogen-bonding of fluorenone (FN) and FN derivatives (FODs) in hydrogen-donating methanol solvent. The ground-state geometry structure optimizations, electronic excitation energies and corresponding oscillation strengths of the low-lying electronically excited states for the isolated FN, FODs and methanol monomers and their corresponding complexes have been calculated using DFT and TDDFT methods respectively. Comparing FODs with FN, we have obtained the strength change of the hydrogen bonds and the electronic spectral shift in different excited states. At the same time, the nature of the FODs in the electronic excited states and the influence of the different substituent group have been summed up.
