Abstract:
Two new chromophores with carbazole as molecular focal point bearing either one o-pyridine-benzothiadiazole unit or two o-pyridine-benzothiadiazole units at the periphery respectively, named as 2,8-(o-pyridine-benzothiadiazole)-N-ethyl-carbazole (CPTZ1) and 2,8-bis(o-pyridine-benzothiadiazole)-N-ethyl-carbazole (CPTZ2), were synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, 1H NMR spectra and MS. The influence of proton upon one-photon and two-photon fluorescence about these two compounds was discussed. Stern-Volmer equation gives that the S-V constants (k(SV)(1P)) of one-photon fluorescence (1PF) of CPTZ1 and CPTZ2 are 0.04 and 0.10 L mol(-1), respectively; while the k(SV)(2P) of two-photon fluorescence (2PF) of CPTZ1 and CPTZ2 are 0.20 and 0.22 L mol(-1), respectively. Obviously, two-photon (2P) fluorescence detection presented more sensitivity than one-photon (1P) fluorescence response, which exhibits the potential application of two-photon sensor in PH detection.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
