The sensing mechanism of the aqueous fluoride chemosensor N-(3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-(tert-butyldiphenyl silyloxy)phenyl)-benzamide (BTTPB) has been studied in detail by DFT/TDDFT methods. The desilylation reaction which has a moderate transition barrier of 17.6 kcal mol(-1) and the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of the desilylation reaction product (3-BTHPB) work together for the fluorescent sensing mechanism. The constructed potential energy curves among the optimized 3-BTHPB (enol form) and 3-BTHPB-e (keto form) geometries on the S-0 and S-1 states, indicated that the ESIPT is a low barrier process (0.1 kcal mol(-1)), and the energies of the optimized geometries showed that the ESIPT process is exothermic. The calculated vertical excitation energies in the ground state and the first singlet excited state reproduced the experimental UV-Vis absorbance and fluorescence emission spectra well.
