Abstract

To understand the photophysical properties of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) states on a gold nanoparticle (Au NP) surface, we have designed and synthesized a new coumarin molecule (C3) that exists both as ICT and TICT states in its excited state in a polar environment. On a Au NP surface, an excited C3 molecule only exists as an ICT state owing to restricted molecular rotation of a diethylamino group; as a result, no conversion from the ICT to TICT state was observed. Selection of the preferential state of a molecule with dual emitting states can be helpful for selected biological applications.
