The potential energy surfaces (PESs) of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) reactions in the ground state and excited state of N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-[2-(3',4'-diaminophenyl)benzthiazole] (BTS) were constructed. It was found that the IPT reactions in the ground state were inhibited, while the excited-state IPT reaction was barrierless and exothermic. The Cu(II) inhibitor in the IPT reaction played a major role in fluorescence quenching. The calculated vertical excitation energies of BTS and its photoisomerization products reproduced the experimental absorption and emission spectra, and the triple fluorescence emission profile was redefined.
The intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) reaction potential energy surfaces (PESs) of N,N '-bis(salicylidene)-[2-(3 ',4 '-diaminophenyl)benzthiazole] (BTS) in the S0 state and S1 state are constructed. It is found that the IPT reactions in the ground state hardly take place due to the high reaction energy barrier for single-proton (6.3 kcal/mol) and double-proton transfer (14.1 kcal/mol) reactions and low backward reaction energy barriers for single-proton (1.9 kcal/mol) and double-proton transfer (1.2 kcal/mol) reactions. In comparison, an excited-state intramolecular single-proton transfer reaction is a barrierless and exothermic process, and thus, single-proton transfer tautomer T1H contributes most to the fluorescence emission. Based on the analysis of PESs, the experimental absorption and emission spectra are reproduced well by the calculated vertical excitation energies of BTS and its photoisomerization products, and the triple fluorescence emission profile in the experiment is reassigned unequivocally. Furthermore, thermodynamic analysis of the BTS- Cu(II) complex shows that the dinuclear complex (C1) with Cu(II) coordinating with O and N atoms of the hydrogen bonds is the most thermodynamically stable structure, and the intramolecular hydrogen bonding structure in BTS is destroyed due to the chelation of Cu(II) and BTS; as a result, the IPT reaction of C1 in S0 and S1 states is significantly inhibited. The inhibitor of Cu(II) in the IPT reaction plays a major role in fluorescence quenching.
