A series of light-emitting analogues, TPA-DPQ and TPA-DPP, were synthesized and characterized. These compounds displayed similar donor-acceptor structures but showed different emission properties and mechanochromic luminescence behaviors. Crystallographic analysis revealed that intermolecular interactions were responsible for the distinct mechanochromic luminescence behaviors. This work provides guidance for rational design of mechanochromic luminescent fluorophores.
A series of light-emitting analogues, [4-(2,3-diphenyl-quinoxalin-6-yl)-phenyl]-diphenyl-amine (TPA-DPQ) and [4-(2,3-diphenyl-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-7-yl)-phenyl]-diphenyl-amine (TPA-DPP) are synthesized and characterized. TPA-DPQ and TPA-DPP possess similar donor-acceptor structures, in which triphenylamine is used as an electron donor while 2,3-diphenyl-quinoxaline (DPQ) and its analogue 2,3-diphenyl-pyridine[2,3-b]pyrazine (DPP) serve as electron acceptors. Due to the stronger electron-withdrawing ability of DPP compared with DPQ, TPA-DPP exhibits longer but weaker emission than TPA-DPQ as expected. However, TPA-DPQ and TPA-DPP show different mechanochromic luminescence (MCL) properties with emission color changes of 42 and 10 nm, respectively. Crystallographic analysis demonstrates that changes of CH center dot center dot center dot pi and CH center dot center dot center dot N intermolecular interactions are responsible for the significantly different MCL behaviors of the two compounds. This work will provide some guidance for the rational design of MCL-active fluorophores.
