摘要
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction has been studied in a molecule showing dual fluorescence, the 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)-4-methoxyphenol (BBMP), and its isotopomers, where the methoxy, and alternatively, the OH group has been deuterated. Attention is focused on the influence of electron donating OCH3 substituent on fast excited state reaction. Comparison between the resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectrum and the laser-induced excitation of the primary and phototautomeric emissions has been done. The geometry, electron density distribution, vibrational structure as well as the potential energy profiles in the S-0 and S-1 states of four possible rotameric forms of BBMP were calculated with application of the density functional theory (DFT). It allowed identifying the most probable conformer and assessing the role of low-frequency motions for the ESIPT efficiency. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3609759]
