Excited State Rotational Freedom Impacts Viscosity Sensitivity in Arylcyanoamide Fluorescent Molecular Rotor Dyes.
Journal of Physical Chemistry. B 2024 April 17
The microviscosity of intracellular environments plays an important role in monitoring cellular function. Thus, the capability of detecting changes in viscosity can be utilized for the detection of different disease states. Viscosity-sensitive fluorescent molecular rotors are potentially excellent probes for these applications; however, the predictable relationships between chemical structural features and viscosity sensitivity are poorly understood. Here, we investigate a set of arylcyanoamide-based fluorescent probes and the effect of small aliphatic substituents on their viscosity sensitivity. We found that the location of the substituents and the type of π-network of the fluorophore can significantly affect the viscosity sensitivity of these fluorophores. Computational analysis supported the notion that the excited state rotational energy barrier plays a dominant role in the relative viscosity sensitivity of these fluorophores. These findings provide valuable insight into the design of molecular rotor-based fluorophores for viscosity measurement.
