Abstract
We studied the effects of spacer length on the fluorescence quantum yields (Φ) of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) reagents, using nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) derivatives that have the –NMe2 moiety and NBD–NH– fluorophore as electron donor (D) and electron acceptor (A), respectively. The Φ values were reduced as the spacer length became shorter (n ≤ 4; n is the number of methylene units of the spacer) and the fluorescence recovered by suppression of the PET process. It is necessary for the useful PET reagents to link D and A with a short spacer to obtain a difference in the Φ values between fluorescent ‘off‐state’ and ‘on‐state’.
