Abstract

Theoretical calculations at HF/6-31G(d) level were carried out on a series of fully conjugated compounds (4-ethynylbenzaldehyde, β,β-dibromo-4-ethynylstyrene, β,β-Di(4'-formylphenylethynyl)-4-ethynylstyrene and its dimmer) to understand the source of blue emission observed in oligomers of the first and second generation in chloroform solutions. The frontier orbitals are distributed through the framework of the molecules (benzene rings, double and triple bonds and chromophores). Additionally, a configuration interaction approach was applied over β,β-Di(4'-formylphenylethynyl)-4-ethynylstyrene (compound 3) at CIS/6-31G(d) level to modeling excited states and simulate the UV-VIS spectrum experimentally obtained. Calculated transitions corresponded to S0→S1 which are, presumably, responsible for the fluorescence observed.
