摘要
Two new red emitting difluoro-boradiazaindacene fluorophores have been synthesized, and their photophysical and hyperpolarizability properties in various microenvironments were evaluated experimentally and characterized in detail with respect to DFT and TD-DFT using B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. The dyes possess reasonable first order hyperpolarizabilities in solvents of different polarities. The photophysical properties of the difluoro-boradiazaindacene cores are found to be highly sensitive towards change in polarity of microenvironments because of twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) characteristics. The dyes show unusually very large Stokes shifts and their photophysical properties such as emission maxima and fluorescence intensity were altered to a great extent in the presence of trace amount of TFA in chloroform. These dyes can be used as promising candidates for pH probes and non-linear optical materials. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
