WASHINGTON
The electronic structure of a series of beta-hydroxymimes, with different aromatic cores (naphthalene, pyrene, coumarin, pyridine) between the oxime and the hydroxyl groups, has been investigated by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and of the naphthalene-based oxime, in addition, by resolution-of-identity second-order perturbative coupled cluster (RICC2) calculations with basis sets up to augmented triple-zeta quality. The particular systems have been proposed as fluorescent sensors of organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents, with enhancement of fluorescence accompanying the sensing of OP agents. It is found that the experimentally observed fluorescence quenching of the oxime sensors in their initial form can be attributed to intramolecular proton transfer upon excitation from the beta-hydroxyl group to the nitrogen atom, thus forming a weakly emitting hydroxylaminoquinoid.
