Summary: | The photophysical studies of two phenols, derivatives of 3-hydroxybenzo[c]coumarin, were performed in n-nonane matrix at 5 K. Unstructured fluorescence spectrum of the derivative bearing a salicylaldehyde moiety, whose onset is shifted by ca. 3000 cm–1 to lower energy in respect to that of absorption, and short decay time of this emission (0.75 ns) suggested the occurrence of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). The experimental results were interpreted with the aid of quantum chemistry calculations performed with the DFT and TDDFT/B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) methods. |
