Abstract

Symmetrically substituted curcumin analogue compounds possess electron donor moieties at both ends of the conjugated systems; their difluoroboron complexes were synthesized, and their structures were fully characterized. A novel compound with enhanced photophysical properties bearing phenothiazine moieties is reported. The introduction of BF2 into the molecular structures resulted in bathochromic shifts both in the absorption and emission spectra, indicating that the π-conjugation was more extended than the one in the initial compounds. The solvatochromic effects were studied, which in case of the phenothiazinyl-curcumin BF2 complex was the most notable. Theoretical study of the investigated compounds was carried out using DFT and TD-DFT methods to evaluate the ground state geometries and vertical excitation energies.
