  • 为探究双α位非对称大位阻取代对二苯乙烯激发态动力学的影响,本文选取三苯基溴基乙烯作为研究对象,其结构特征为在二苯乙烯双α位置分别引入苯环与溴原子。采用飞秒瞬态吸收光谱结合量子化学计算,系统研究了该分子在乙腈和正己烷溶液中的激发态动力学。实验发现,三苯基溴基乙烯分子被320nm的紫外光激发至S1态后,其激发态吸收峰呈现快速蓝移,弛豫过程遵循“Franck-Condon态(乙腈: 0.13ps;正己烷: 0.16ps)→FC弛豫态(乙腈: 0.41ps;正己烷: 0.3ps) →扭曲态(乙腈: 46ps;正己烷: 16.5ps)”三步路径。研究表明,溶剂极性对扭曲态寿命具有显著影响:在极性较强的乙腈中,τ3明显延长。由于溴原子的吸电子效应,扭曲态具有较大偶极矩,因而极性溶剂的稳定化作用就变得更为明显,而前两步快速的弛豫过程则不受溶剂极性的影响。本研究揭示了非对称大位阻取代对二苯乙烯类衍生物弛豫路径的调控作用,阐明了溶剂极性对激发态动力学的影响,为分子光开关的设计提供了实验依据。

     

    To investigate the effect of asymmetric bulky substitution at the dual α-positions on the excitedstate dynamics, bromotriphenylethylene was selected as the model compound, which is structurally characterized by the introduction of a phenyl ring and a bromine atom at the two α-positions of stilbene. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy combined with quantum chemical calculations was employed to systematically investigate the excited-state dynamics of this molecule in acetonitrile and n-hexane solutions. The experimental results revealed that upon 320 nm photoexcitation to the S1 state, the transient absorption spectra exhibited a rapid blue-shift feature, and the relaxation process followed a three-step pathway: "Franck-Condon state (acetonitrile: 0.13 ps; n-hexane: 0.16 ps) → FC relaxed state (acetonitrile: 0.41 ps; n-hexane: 0.3 ps) → twisted state (acetonitrile: 46 ps; n-hexane: 16.5 ps)." Further investigation indicated that solvent polarity significantly influences the lifetimes of the twisted state: τ3 was notably prolonged in polar acetonitrile but shorter in nonpolar n-hexane. Due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the bromine atom, the twisted state owns a larger dipole moment, thereby it is likely to be stabilized by polar solvents. In contrast, the first two relaxation steps are not sensitive to solvent polarity. This study elucidates the special role of asymmetric bulky substitution on the relaxation pathway of stilbene derivatives and highlights the critical influence of solvent polarity, providing new insights for the rational design of photoswitchable molecular systems.
