Abstract

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) has many important potential applications. In this paper, the geometries of a series of amide-based N H⋯N hydrogen-bonding compounds in their ground S 0 states and first excited singlet S 1 states were optimized with density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) approaches. Both topological analysis and noncovalent interactions analysis show strong intramolecular hydrogen-bonds in the studied five systems and the electron density function ρ ( r ) exhibits good linear relationship with the distance of H⋯N 2 . The potential energy curves of the S 0 and S 1 states were scanned by using of DFT and TD-DFT to elucidate the ESIPT process. It reveals that all the systems considered here can undergo an ultrafast ESIPT reaction, with energy barrier of less than 0.05 eV, giving rise to the single fluorescence emission from the proton-transfer tautomer. It is also found that the shorter the hydrogen bond in the normal-form S 1 state, the easier the ESIPT takes place. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
