A New Candidate Laser Dye Based 1,4-Bis[β-(2-Naphthothiazolyle)Vinyl]Benzene. Spectroscopic Behavior, Laser Parameters and Excitation Energy Transfer
A new candidate laser dye based 1,4-bis[β-(2-naphthothisolyl) vinyl] benzene (BNTVB) were prepared, and characterized in various organic solvents. The center polarity is less sensitive than electronic absorption. A red shift was noticed in the fluorescence spectra (ca. 40 nm) with increment in the solvent’s polarity, this means that BNTVB’s polarity appreciates upon excitation. The dipole moment of ground state (μ{sub g}) and the excited singlet state dipole moment (μ{sub e}) are determined from Kawski – Chamma and Bakshiev–Viallet equations using the disparity of Stokes shift with solvent polarity function of ε (dielectric constant) and n (refractive index) of the solvent. The result was found to be 0.019D and 5.13D for ground and exited state, in succession. DFT/TD-DFT manners were used to understand the electronic structures and geometric of BNTVB in other solvents. The experimental and theoretical results showed a good agreement. The photochemical quantum yield (Ф{sub c}) of BNTVB was calculated in variable organic reagents such as Dioxane, CHCl{sub 3}, EtOH and MeOH at room temperature. The values of φ{sub c} were calculated as 2.3 × 10{sup −4}, 3.3 × 10{sup −3}, 9.7 × 10{sup −5} and 6.2 × 10{sup −5} in Dioxane, CHCl{sub 3}, EtOH and MeOH, respectively. The dye solutions (2 × 10{sup −4} M) in DMF, MeOH and EtOH give laser emission in the blue-green region. The green zone is excited by nitrogen pulse 337.1 nm. The tuning range, gain coefficient (α) and cross – section emission (σ{sub e}) of laser were also estimated. Excitation energy transfer from BNTVB to rhodamine-6G (R6G) and N,N-bis(2,6-dimethyphenyl)-3,4:9,10-perylenebis-(dicarboximide) (BDP) was also studied in EtOH to increase the laser emission output from R6G and BDP when excited by nitrogen laser. The dye-transfer power laser system (ETDL) obeys the Foster Power Transmission (FERT) mechanism with a critical transmission distance, R{sub o} of 40 and 32 A and k{sub ET} equals 2.6 × 10{sup 13} and 1.06 × 10{sup 13} M{sup −1} s{sup −1} for BNTVB / R6G and BNTVB / BDP pair, respectively.
