Tiyofen Bazlı Bir Floren Türevinin Sentezi, Karakterizasyonu ve Spektroskopik Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Floren bazlı bileşikler, çeşitli biyolojik aktiviteleri ve zengin fotofiziksel özellikleri nedeniyle son yıllarda önemli ölçüde ilgi görmektedir. Bu çalışmada, tiyofen içeren bir floren türevi sentezlenmiş ve yapısal olarak ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FT-IR ve GC-MS spektroskopik teknikleri kullanılarak karakterize edilmiştir. Sentezlenen bileşiğin spektroskopik özellikleri UV–Vis absorpsiyon ve floresans spektroskopisi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Farklı polariteye sahip çözücülerde kaydedilen UV–Vis spektrumları, absorpsiyon bantlarının büyük ölçüde değişmeden kaldığını ortaya koymuştur. Buna karşılık, floresans ölçümleri bileşiğin özellikle DMSO’da dikkate değer derecede güçlü bir emisyon sergilediğini göstermiştir. Çözücü–bileşik etkileşimlerinin floresans davranışı üzerindeki etkisi de incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, sentezlenen floren türevinin çözücü ortamına bağlı olarak belirgin uyarılmış hâl özellikleri sergilediğini göstermekte olup, bu tür yapıların gelecekteki fotofiziksel ve floresans tabanlı çalışmalar için umut verici yapı taşları olarak hizmet edebileceğini düşündürmektedir.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Spectroscopic Properties of a Thiophene-Based Fluorene Derivative

Abstract

Fluorene-based compounds have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their diverse biological activities and rich photophysical properties. In this study, a thiophene-containing fluorene derivative was synthesized and structurally characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FT-IR, and GC-MS spectroscopic techniques. The spectroscopic properties of the synthesized compound were investigated using UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The UV–Vis spectra recorded in solvents of different polarity revealed that the absorption bands remain largely unchanged. In contrast, fluorescence measurements showed that the compound 1 exhibits remarkably strong emission, particularly in DMSO, clearly visible to the naked eye. Also, the high emission intensity in DMSO was found to be remarkably stable, with no significant degradation observed over 2 hours of continuous monitoring. High photostability, a large Stokes shift, and a significant emission difference observed in DMSO under UV light make compound 1 an ideal candidate for fluorescence-based studies and imaging applications.
