The excellent photostability of the trichromophoric rhodamine dyes (TCR-1 and TCR-2) containing two 1,8-naphthalimides as antennas had been observed for the solid lasing operation using the dyes in methacrylate. Further understanding of the stabilization mechanism operating in these compounds would require a study of photophysical properties. The fluorescence lifetimes of TCR-1 and TCR-2 have been measured by the single-photon counting technique and the intramolecular singlet energy transfer from the naphthalimide moiety (NA) to the rhodamine moiety (Rh) has been observed. In order to obtain laser dye polymer materials with a high laser-radiation-damage threshold, modified rhodamine 6G molecules (Rh-Al or Rh-Aln) with polymerizable double bonds have been copolymerized with 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives. The absorption spectra of these new copolymers indicate there is little or no interaction between the two NA and the Rh moieties in their ground state, however, the fluorescent spectra indicate that energy transfer from the NA group to the Rh-Al or Rh-Aln group in the copolymers does occur. In comparison, energy transfer was not observed in an equal molar mixture of monomers corresponding to the copolymers, which demonstrated that intramolecular energy transfer in the copolymer synthesized in this study occurred mainly along the polymeric chain.
含有两个1,8-萘酰亚胺作为天线的三色颜料罗丹明染料(TCR-1和TCR-2)在甲基丙烯酸酯中进行固态激光操作时,观察到了其优秀的光稳定性。要进一步理解这些化合物中运行的稳定机制,需要对其光物理特性进行研究。通过单光子计数技术测量了TCR-1和TCR-2的荧光寿命,并观察到了从萘酰亚胺部分(NA)到罗丹明部分(Rh)的分子内单态能量转移。为了获得具有高激光辐射损伤阈值的激光染料聚合物材料,已将改性罗丹明6G分子(Rh-Al或Rh-Aln)与可聚合双键与1,8-萘酰亚胺衍生物共聚合。这些新共聚物的吸收光谱表明,在其基态中,两个NA与Rh部分之间几乎没有或没有相互作用,然而荧光光谱表明,在共聚物中,NA基团向Rh-Al或Rh-Aln基团的能量转移是确实发生的。相比之下,未观察到对应于共聚物的单体等摩尔混合物中能量转移,这表明在本研究合成的共聚物中,分子内能量转移主要沿着聚合物链发生。
