Comparing the crystal structures and spectroscopic properties of a p-hydroxy styrylquinolinium dye with those of its p-dimethylamino analogue

Two previously synthesized styrylquinolinium dyes, namely (E)-1-butyl-4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)quinolinium iodide (D36) and (E)-1-butyl-4-(4-hydroxystyryl)quinolinium iodide (D34), were compared in terms of their properties by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), Hirshfeld surface analysis, Fou...

description Two previously synthesized styrylquinolinium dyes, namely (E)-1-butyl-4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)quinolinium iodide (D36) and (E)-1-butyl-4-(4-hydroxystyryl)quinolinium iodide (D34), were compared in terms of their properties by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), Hirshfeld surface analysis, Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), fluorescence, and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, and 1H- and 13C-NMR methods. Both dyes D36 and D34 crystallized in the triclinic and monoclinic systems in the centrosymmetric space groups P-1 and P21/n, respectively. The unit cell of D36 contains two molecules of the dye, participating in weak intermolecular interactions, whereas that of D34 contains four formula units. The phenolic hydroxy group of D34 participates in the formation of a hydrogen bond with the iodide anion. The 4-styrylquinolinium moieties of the cationic dye molecules are nearly planar. The dihedral angle between the mean planes through the ten-membered quinolinium system and the benzene ring is 7.5° in D36 and 5.9(1)° in D34. The structural parameters planarity and bond length alternation (BLA) are discussed, which are important for the evaluation of the first hyperpolarizability β at the molecular level, even in a centrosymmetric crystal. The UV–visible spectra of the dyes in 14 solvents of different polarities were investigated. The reversible solvatochromic behavior of the dyes is demonstrated experimentally and compared with known “binuclear dyes” by evaluating the Rezende model. Dye D36 does not fluoresce, and D34 has a very low emission in the solvents tested.
