AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on twenty dyes that have a structure consisting of an electron-donor phenolate and an electron-withdrawing nitro-substituted phenyl ring.
- It examines how structural variations affect the difference in electrophilic strength between the donor and acceptor parts of the dyes.
- These variations lead to greater sensitivity to changes in solvent polarity, causing the dyes to absorb light at longer wavelengths (red-shift) in different solvents.
Article Abstract
The inverted solvatochromism of twenty dyes containing an electron-donor phenolate conjugated with an electron-withdrawing nitro-substituted phenyl ring was analyzed in terms of the dye structure and substituents. Structural factors that increased the difference between the electrophilicities of the donor and acceptor moieties, or the donor-acceptor strength of the phenolate dyes, also increased the sensitivity of the dyes to solvent-polarity changes and red-shifted their solvatochromic absorption bands.

Article Synopsis
- Three aminocarbonyl compounds were created and analyzed for their light-emitting properties in different solvent polarities.
- The study revealed significant inverted solvatofluorochromism, where the emission energy changes based on the solvent used.
- This inversion happens at moderate polarities and is caused by a shift in how the solute interacts with the solvent, impacting the stability of the excited state of the dyes.

Polarizable continuum methods (PCM) have been widely employed for simulating solvent effects, in spite of the fact that they either ignore specific interactions in solution or only partially reproduce non-specific contributions. Examples of three solvatochromic dyes with a negative, a positive and a reverse behavior illustrate the achievements and shortcomings of PCM calculations and the causes for their variable success. Even when qualitatively mimicking non-specific solvent effects, departures of calculated values from experimental data may be significant (20-30%).

Solvents influence the structure, aggregation and folding behaviors of solvatochromic compounds. Ultrasensitive solvent mediated chiroptical response is conducive to the fabrication of molecular platform for sensing and recognition, which however, remains great challenges in conceptual or applicable design. Here we report a cysteine-based single benzene chromophore system that shows ultrasensitivity to solvents.

Three bipyridinium phenolates were synthesized, and their spectral behavior was recorded at various solvent polarities and compared to a classic pyridinium phenolate dye possessing only one pyridinium acceptor ring in its structure. The addition of a second pyridinium unit to the classic solvatochromic core results in an unexpected change in the spectral behavior from negative solvatochromism (displacement of the absorption band to shorter wavelengths) to inverted solvatochromism, characterized by the transition from negative to positive solvatochromism (displacement of the absorption band to longer wavelengths) at moderate solvent polarities.

Organic phototheranostics simultaneously having fluorescence in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window, and photothermal and photodynamic functions possess great prospects in tumor diagnosis and therapy. However, such phototheranostics generally suffer from low brightness and poor photodynamic performance due to severe solvatochromism. Herein, an organic NIR-II fluorophore AS1, which possesses an inverted dependence of fluorescence quantum yield on polarity, is reported to serve as potent phototheranostics for tumor diagnosis and therapy.
