Abstract [en]

A novel DPyDB-CN-18C6 compound was synthesised by linking a pyrene moiety to each phenyl group of dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether, the crown ether, through –HCN– bonds and characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, TGA, and DSC techniques. The quantitative 13C-NMR analysis revealed the presence of two position isomers. The electronic structure of the DPyDB-CN-18C6 molecule was characterized by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies in four solvents with different polarities to observe particular behavior of isomers, as well as to demonstrate a possible non-bonding chemical association (such as ground- and excited-state associations, namely, to probe if there were forming dimers/excimers). The interpretation of the electronic structure was realized through QM calculations. The TD-CAM-B3LYP functional, at the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set, indicated the presence of predominant π → π* and mixed π → π* + n → π* transitions, in line with the UV-vis experimental data. Even though DPyDB-CN-18C6 computational studies revealed a π-extended conjugation effect with predominantly π → π* transitions, thorough fluorescence analysis was observed a weak emission, as an effect of PET and ACQ. In particular, the WAXD analysis of powder and thin films obtained from n-hexane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and ethanol indicated an amorphous organization, whereas from toluene a smectic ordering was obtained. These results were correlated with MD simulation, and it was observed that the molecular geometry of DPyDB-CN-18C6 molecule played a defining role in the pyrene stacking arrangement.
