Abstract:
In view of the distinguished photochemical and photobiological characteristics of oxazolinyl-substituted hydroxyfluorene and its derivatives, herein, we mainly focus on probing into excited state behaviors of the novel 9,9-dimethyl-3,6-dihydroxy-2,7-bis(4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolyl) fluorene (Oxa-OH) derivatives. In light of the significant effects resulting from substituting oxygen elements, three Oxa-OH derivatives (i.e., Oxa-OO, Oxa-SS and Oxa-SeSe fluorophores) are considered in this work. For these three different fluorophores, we detangle the effects of atomic electronegativity and charge recombination related to oxygen elements in excited state double proton transfer (ESDPT) processes. Because of the low potential energy barriers, we confirm the ESDPT happens by the sequential type. Based on heterosubstituted Oxa-OS and Oxa-OSe compounds, we further verify the chalcogen atomic-electronegativity-regulated stepwise ESDPT mechanism. We sincerely wish our work could provide a theoretical reference for proving this novel mechanism of ESDPT experimentally.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
