Abstract

In this manuscript, we report the first synthesis of an organic monomolecular emitter, which behaves as a circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-based ratiometric probe. The enantiopure helical ortho-oligo(phenylene)ethynylene (o-OPE) core has been prepared by a new and efficient macrocyclization reaction. The combination of such o-OPE helical skeleton and a pyrene couple leads to two different CPL emission features in a single structure whose ratio linearly responds to silver(I) concentration.

Fluorescence spectroscopy is nowadays one of the most versatile techniques for the detection of analytes thanks to its high sensitivity and noninvasiveness. Nevertheless, fluorescence is quite limited when quantitative information is required, since molecular emission intensity can be altered by multiple factors, such as photobleaching, phototransformation, and/or diffusive processes, which may modify the local probe concentration. As a result of this, there has been an effort to develop fluorescence probes that do not depend on the intrinsic intensity of the signal. One approach is the use of ratiometric probes, (1) which are based on a self-calibration process: the ratio of two excitation or emission signals is used for quantitative detection. The relationship between the two emission responses is maintained and is independent of the probe concentration, minimizing the above-mentioned interferences. The difficulty relies on the selection of suitable fluorophores that work together in a proper manner.
Fluorescence spectroscopy in complex mixtures, as living systems, is particularly challenging owing to the fluorescence background. To avoid this, many researchers have been recently focused on the study of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-active organic molecules, (2,3) which can potentially behave as more selective fluorescent probes. CPL response depends on the preferential emission of circularly polarized light of one handedness and is usually represented as using (ILIR), ΔI, as a function of the wavelength, with IL and IR being the intensities of the left and right circularly polarized light. The dimensionless value glum, defined as 2(ILIR)/(IL + IR), serves to characterized the dissymmetry of the transition. Although many interesting CPL active systems have been described, the use of the CPL emission as quantitative signal in a ratiometric probe has never been demonstrated.
Therefore, we wondered if the ratiometric probe concept could be extended to CPL-active molecules. First, a hypothetical CPL probe should present two different CPL emitters in a single structure, with at least one of them being able to interact with an external stimulus and respond to it. Second, a (usually linear) relationship between the ratio of their chiroptical responses and the analyte concentration is also required. The combination of both requirements in a single structure is highly challenging since the very limited ability of CPL emitters to interact with different species. (4) Noteworthy, CPL spectroscopy provides another level of resolution compared with the unpolarized emission spectrum. Thus, for example, two peaks may overlap in the total emission spectrum, but the electronic transitions involved may have opposite rotational strengths and, therefore, could be clearly distinguished in the CPL spectrum.
Within this context, we have recently described a new family of easy-to-tune CPL emitters based on stapled ortho-oligo(phenylene)ethynylenes (o-OPEs), presenting C2 symmetry ((P,1S,2S)-1, Figure 1), which showed glum values up to 10–2, one of the highest values described for an organic molecule. (5) Besides, they act as a CPL switch based on carbophilic interactions with Ag(I) cations. (5) Interestingly, the pyrene functionalization of the C1 and C2 stereogenic carbons might result in a second CPL emitter unit in the same structure, and therefore a ratio between both chiroptical responses is expected (Figure 1). Moreover, this CPL ratio could be related to the concentration of Ag(I) cations due to their interaction with the o-OPE moiety. Considering this hypothesis, we have synthesized enantiopure (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 (Figure 1) giving rise to the first ratiometric probe based on CPL, a step beyond a simple switch between two structures. A new enantioespecific synthetic strategy to obtain these helical structures with an intense CPL emission has also been developed, widening the possibility of future exploration of the chemical space of these enantiopure helical compounds by incorporating new functionalities.

Although our previously reported approach toward enantiopure stapled o-OPEs was straightforward, the key stereochemical control was completed by a final chiral HPLC resolution, which is not possible in all cases. On route to (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3, we then decided to develop a more versatile convergent approach using a macrocyclization reaction of known bisphenol 4 and a commercially available chiral ditosylate 5 (Scheme 1). (6) With this strategy, both enantiomers (P,1S,2S)-1 and (M,1R,2R)-1 are now easily available at a large scale from the corresponding (1S,2S)/(1R,2R)-5. In this work, we focused our attention in (P,1S,2S)-1, which was further functionalized using 1-chloromethylpyrene and 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid to yield enantiopure (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 in good yields.

aReaction conditions: (a) (1S,2S)-5, Cs2CO3, MeCN, 80 °C, 22 h, 77%; (b) p-TsOH, EtOH/H2O, reflux, 85%; (c) 1-chloromethylpyrene, NaH, DMF, rt, 12 h, 58%; (d) 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid, DCC, DMAP, rt, 24 h, 85%.

In these systems, the P/M helical chirality is controlled by the chirality of the oxygenated tether. Therefore, the flexibility of the macrocyclic backbone allows a “biased” equilibrium between P and M configurations. In the case of a (S,S)-diol, the observed helicity is P. A total bias of such equilibrium is desired in order to maximize the chiroptical responses as they mainly depend on the helix. An exploration of this effect in simple derivatives led us to conclude that the very robust glum value around 10–2 of (P,1S,2S)-1 was retained and was independent of any substitution in the diol. (7) This observed relationship between the helix and the tether suggests that they were stereochemically coupled. That is, strong variations of the OPE helicity could, in principle, affect the spatial arrangement of a pyrene-functionalized tether and vice versa. The controlled translation of this dynamism into chiroptical properties could result in a ratiometric probe. In this case, the anticipated interaction of Ag(I) cation with the OPE will probably be the driving force for the change in the spatial arrangement of the whole molecule.
To this end, we prepared the alkyl-(P,1S,2S)-2 and acyl-(P,1S,2S)-3 derivatives (Scheme 1). In this case, the pyrene moieties included in the oxygenated tether can interact with each other, resulting in interesting photophysical properties. (8) Remarkably, such optical responses are transported to chiroptical properties (CD and CPL signals) once the environment is chiral. (9)
Compounds (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 are fluorescent with solvent dependent quantum yields (QY) going from 0.14 to 0.55 and from 0.18 to 0.44, respectively (Table S1). When exciting at 350 nm, the emission is controlled by two main contributions: one broad emission band around 410 nm, where the emission from both the helix and monomer pyrene appears overlapped, and other one corresponding to the pyrene excimer (a broad unstructured band centered around 520–540 nm) (Figure S4). The relative contribution of these bands is highly dependent on the solvent. (See Figures S5 and S6.) The presence of a pyrene excimer band confirmed the close proximity of the two pyrene units, for an intramolecular excited-state interaction. Time-resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES) allowed following the time evolution of the spectral profiles. For (P,1S,2S)-2, a red shift of the emission maximum in the first 15 ns of decay indicates a slow solvent reorganization upon excitation (Figure 2a and Figure S7). This is consistent with the slow dynamics of the helix and the large size of the molecule. The species-associated emission spectra (SAEMS) allowed differentiating three species with lifetimes of 1, 8.1, and 21.3 ns, showing the solvent relaxation-mediated red shift in the emission maximum, and the latter exhibiting the pyrene excimer emission between 510 and 650 nm. A fourth species, with a lifetime of 24.4 ns exhibited a maximum at 450 nm with a typical structure of the helix emission (Figure 2b). This lifetime was longer than the one previously described for this kind of helices due to the pyrenes excimer contribution to the main transitions.

More interesting results were obtained for (P,1S,2S)-3, which presents features of excited-state dynamics as the emission of the pyrene excimer is formed from other species (Figures 3a and S5). The spectral decomposition (SAEMS, Figure 3b) showed three species with the typical emission of pyrenes and lifetimes of 1.0, 6.1, and 22.1 ns. These species exhibited negative contributions in the pyrene excimer region, clearly supporting that the excimer emission (fourth species with a lifetime of 43.9 ns) builds up from the others through an excited-state reaction. The o-OPE emission appears as a shoulder overlapping the pyrene excimer species of a 22.1 ns lifetime.

Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 were also recorded (Figure 4). For (P,1S,2S)-2, overlapped absorption signals corresponding to the absorption of the o-OPE (at 345 nm) and pyrene subunits (at 365 nm) could be clearly observed. Remarkably, the opposite signs allowed us to discern between the contributions of each substructure throughout the entire spectra, which might be very relevant for a potential chiroptical ratiometric probe, as we commented before. In the case of (P,1S,2S)-3, the presence of the carbonyl group red shifts the absorption of the pyrenes and their CD signals were partially resolved (λ = 387 nm).

Right: CD titration of compound (P,1S,2S)-3. Offsets of 15 nm have been applied to theoretical data.

The CD spectra of (P,1S,2S)-2 in the presence of Ag(I) showed a decrease in the CD intensity as Ag(I) concentration increased (Figure 4a and Figures S9 and S10). This phenomenon, already described by us, (5a) is due to the planar arrangement of the OPE alkynes to accommodate the cation in nonpolar solvents. (10,11)
The same behavior is observed for (P,1S,2S)-3 silver coordination, causing again the disappearance of the OPE helicity due to the planarization of the structure and the corresponding CD signal disappearance (345 nm) (Figure 4b and Figures S11–S13). However, such a strong structural change affected to a much lesser extent the chiral environment of the pyrenes, remaining the corresponding CD signal (387 nm) (Figure 4b, right). This result supports the idea that the geometry of the two subunits may be independent in the ground state, and therefore, (P,1S,2S)-3 could be used as a Ag(I) ratiometric probe based on CD. In fact, a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.96) was obtained between the ratio of Δε intensities at 345 and 387 nm and Ag(I) concentration. (See the inset in Figures 4b and S12 for more details.) Fitting of Δε value at 345 nm at different silver concentrations gives a binding constant of K(P,S,S)-3 = 6360 ± 5% M–1. (12)
To gain some insights into these different behaviors, we performed theoretical calculations at the DFT level. In all of the cases, the calculated CD spectra reproduced the experimental sign taking into account the chiral synthon used. For (P,1S,2S)-2, several conformers were analyzed, and a majority of P conformations of the OPE moiety was obtained (a total of 77% of population). Moreover, among the conformers with the same helicity, differences were only found in the pyrene orientation and not in the shape of the OPE backbone. (See the Supporting Information for details.) In all of the cases, the interaction with Ag(I) changes the shape of the OPE, which lost the helicoidal shape as was previously described for analogous p,p-substituted compounds (Figure 5). (10)

Figure 5

Figure 5. (a) Calculated first two conformers of (P,1S,2S)-2 in the absence (light blue) and presence (blue) of Ag(I).

Considering the orbitals involved in the first principal transition for major conformers in the absence of Ag(I), a main difference can be observed between compounds (P,1S,2S)-2 and 3. Alkyl derivative (P,1S,2S)-2 presents orbitals localized just on the pyrene rings, just on the OPE backbone, and some delocalized on the whole molecule. However, for compound (P,1S,2S)-3, there is a clear separation between pyrene and OPE moieties (Figure 6).

Figure 6

Figure 6. Examples of different orbitals of the main conformer of (P,1S,2S)-2 (left) and (P,1S,2S)-3 (right) in the absence of Ag(I).

The rotational strengths of different conformers and the orbitals involved in the first main transitions were also analyzed to assign the observed features to either the OPE or the pyrene chromophore. (See the Supporting Information for details.) In this sense, a good agreement between experimental and theory both in absorption and CD spectra was observed. As it can be seen in Figure 4a, the calculated CD response reproduces quite satisfactorily the observed spectra and also their variations upon silver addition; only the intensity of the narrow bands attributed to pyrene are overestimated by calculations. The same kind of calculations were carried out for compound (P,1S,2S)-3. As was previously mentioned, the main observed difference is related with the orbitals responsible for the main transitions in the absence of Ag(I), which are localized either in the pyrene subunit or in the OPE moiety, whereas for the ether derivative 2 there was not a clear separation between the two moieties. (See Figures S19 and S24). Again, we obtained a good fitting between calculated and experimental CD spectra (Figure 4b).
CPL responses of both compounds were recorded in the absence and presence of Ag(I). (P,1S,2S)-2 presented a differential emission with two different signals, which can be attributed to the two decoupled subunits (Figure 7a). The first one, corresponding to the OPE subunit, presented glum values of 1.2 × 10–2 at around 390 nm (Figure S14), as it was previously observed for diol (P,1S,2S)-1. The second signal, with a negative sign derived from the pyrenes, presented a glum value around −5 × 10–3 (around 515 nm). These two values can be reasonably detected by CPL equipment. Unexpectedly, (P,1S,2S)-3 presented a very different behavior (Figure 7b). In this case, the fluorescent o-OPE subunit showed no CPL emission, being only detectable by the response of the pyrenes excimer with a glum value around −3 × 10–2 at 540 nm and +0.7 × 10–2 at about 480 nm (Figure S14) to prevent the use of (P,1S,2S)-3 as a ratiometric probe based on CPL measurements. (9c,f) This signal observed in the emissive region of the pyrene groups is a couplet. The interpretation of such couplet is not an easy task, although some explanations of the bisignated signals in CPL have been described: (5a,13,14) one may invoke the presence of different conformers, with different geometries in their ground state and also different S1 excited states, (5a) or one may find that the dominant conformer in the ground state presents a S1 state with two minima (like in camphor). (13a) Considering the TRES results and the OPE emissive bands observed in the other studied compounds containing the same moiety, both CPL features may be assigned to pyrene fluorophore with different arrangements. In any case, it seems that once the pyrene unit is excited, the excimer with the second pyrene unit, in close proximity, is formed within 1 ns, as evidenced by the negative pre-exponential factor of the shortest lifetime in the fluorescence decay traces. This fast formation of the excimer and the subsequent change in geometry forced a planarization of the OPE.

Inset: linear fitting of the ratio between left–right fluorescence intensity (ΔI) at 400 and 500 nm versus Ag(I) concentration.

Thus, we proceeded with the study of the CPL response of compound (P,1S,2S)-2 in the presence of Ag(I). The CPL response in terms of ΔI diminishes in the presence of increasing amounts of Ag(I) for both signals (Figure 7c). Moreover, the different sign of the two CPL responses was ideal for the quantification. In fact, the ratio between absolute values of ΔI (400 nm)/ΔI (500 nm) showed a linear response with the Ag(I) content as required for a ratiometric probe (Figure 7c, inset). (15)

Conclusion

In summary, we have synthesized two compounds, each one bearing two moieties with a characteristic chiroptical and fluorescent activity. The OPE moiety structure is sensitive to Ag; on the contrary, the pyrene reciprocal orientation appears to be preserved also in the Ag complex. We developed and demonstrated that compound (P,1S,2S)-2 with two CPL emissions can behave as the first example reported of a ratiometric probe based on CPL emission. Although the described example presents limitations, the expected superiority in terms of sensitivity and selectivity of CPL probes for future applications in CPL-based microscopes relies in the assumption that the translation of the usual fluorescent-based analytic techniques is possible. (16) In this sense, the synthesis of novel CPL probes able to carry different functions is a prerequisite for the full development of this technique into a standard analytical technique. Development of ratiometric probes with more balanced CPL emissions and better signal-to-noise ratios is underway.

General Section

All reagents were used as purchased from standard chemical suppliers and used without further purification. TLC was performed on aluminum-backed plates coated with silica gel 60 (230–240 mesh) with the F254 indicator. The spots were visualized with UV light (254 nm). All chromatography purifications were performed with silica gel 60 (40–60 μm). NMR spectra were measured at room temperature. 1H NMR spectra were recorded at 400 and 500 MHz. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm using the residual solvent peak as a reference (CHCl3 δ = 7.26 ppm, CH2Cl2 δ = 5.32 ppm). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, quint = quintuplet, m = multiplet, dd = doublet of doublets, dt = doublet of triplets, dq = doublet of quartets, td = triplet of doublets, bs = broad singlet), coupling constant (J in Hz), and integration. 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 100 and 125 MHz using broad-band proton decoupling, and chemical shifts are reported in ppm using residual solvent peaks as a reference (CHCl3 δ = 77.16 ppm, CH2Cl2 δ = 54.0 ppm). Carbon multiplicities were assigned by DEPT techniques. High resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded on a mass spectrometer using atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization (APCI+) or electrospray ionization (ESI). Known compound 4 was isolated as a pure sample and showed NMR spectra matching those of previously reported data. (5a)

Steady-State and Time-Resolved Emission Spectroscopy

Steady-State Fluorescence Spectra Were Recorded Using a JASCO FP-8300 Spectrofluorometer in 10 × 10 mm Cuvettes

Time-resolved fluorescence decay traces were collected via the time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) method using a FluoTime 200 fluoromoter (PicoQuant, GmbH). The excitation source was a 375 nm pulsed diode laser (LDH-P-C-375B PicoQuant, GmbH) using a 20 MHz excitation frequency for measurements at 400 nm and 5 MHz frequency for excimer measurements at 540 nm. The full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of the laser pulses was around 40 ps. The fluorescence emission was collected at a 90° geometry, focused at the detector after crossing through a polarizer (set at the magic angle), 2 mm slits, and a 2 nm bandwidth monochromator. TCSPC was achieved by a TimeHarp200 board, set at 36 ps/channel. Fluorescence decay traces were collected for the necessary time to reach 20 000 counts at the peak channel. For both compounds (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 decay traces were collected at 398, 400, and 402 nm, where the maximum of emission was observed (corresponding to OPE and pyrene structures) and at 536, 538, and 540 nm, where excimer emission is observed.
Time-resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES) of compounds (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 dissolved in CH2Cl2 was performed by collecting 66 fluorescence decay traces in the 390–650 nm emission range (Δλem = 4 nm) at 5 MHz excitation frequency during a fixed amount of time (500 s), to maintain the overall intensity information.

Circular Dichroism and Circularly Polarized Luminiscence Measurements

CD titrations were performed in an Olis DSM172 spectrophotometer with a xenon lamp of 150 W with a 1.0 cm path-length quartz cell. In all of the cases, a fixed slit width of 1 mm and integration time of 0.2 s were selected. Titrations of compounds (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 were carried out by the addition of progressive quantities of a 2.5 × 10–4 M solution of AgBF4 salt, which was commercially available, to a 2.5 × 10–5 M solution of the corresponding compound in a 95:5 mixture of CH2Cl2/acetone. To make the fitting of the kinetic constant easier, the concentration of ligands (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 was kept constant during the titration. To ensure this, a 2.5 × 10–5 M solution of these compounds was used as a solvent to prepare the AgBF4 solution.
Circularly polarized luminiscence (CPL) measurements were recorded in an Olis DSM172 spectrophotometer. The spectra were recorded at 1 × 10–5 M concentrations in HPLC grade solvents. A fixed wavelength LED (372 nm) as the excitation source was used.

    Unfortunately, we could not follow the binding process using NMR spectroscopy as in previous cases (refs (5a) and (9)) owing to the insolubility of (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 in the presence of Ag(I) cation at usual NMR concentrations.

    Due to the complexity of the molecular system and also the limitation of the TD-DFT approximation, a calculation explaining the observed rotational strengths is beyond the scope of this work:Levine, B. G.; Ko, C.; Quenneville, J.; Martinez, T. J. Mol. Phys. 2006, 104, 10391051,  DOI: 10.1080/00268970500417762
  15. 15

    The linear response is observed up to 3 Ag(I) equivalents, taking into account that two fluorophores with different quantum yields must be recorded at the same time and the most intense peak determines the detector saturation and optimization process was carried out to minimize the spectral noise. Beyond such equivalents, the signals (ΔI) became too low that the errors in the measurement did not guarantee a reliable value of the ratio. With this limitation in the linear range, the resulted profile was exactly the expected one for a ratiometric probe.

      Unfortunately, we could not follow the binding process using NMR spectroscopy as in previous cases (refs (5a) and (9)) owing to the insolubility of (P,1S,2S)-2 and (P,1S,2S)-3 in the presence of Ag(I) cation at usual NMR concentrations.

      Due to the complexity of the molecular system and also the limitation of the TD-DFT approximation, a calculation explaining the observed rotational strengths is beyond the scope of this work:Levine, B. G.; Ko, C.; Quenneville, J.; Martinez, T. J. Mol. Phys. 2006, 104, 10391051,  DOI: 10.1080/00268970500417762

      The linear response is observed up to 3 Ag(I) equivalents, taking into account that two fluorophores with different quantum yields must be recorded at the same time and the most intense peak determines the detector saturation and optimization process was carried out to minimize the spectral noise. Beyond such equivalents, the signals (ΔI) became too low that the errors in the measurement did not guarantee a reliable value of the ratio. With this limitation in the linear range, the resulted profile was exactly the expected one for a ratiometric probe.
