The effect of structural modifications on the fluorescence properties of a specific dye molecule can vary depending on the type of dye and the specific modifications made. However, some general trends can be observed in the literature of photochemistry of fluorescent dyes:1. Substitution of functional groups: The introduction or substitution of functional groups, such as electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups, can significantly affect the fluorescence properties of a dye molecule. These changes can lead to shifts in the absorption and emission wavelengths, as well as changes in the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime.2. Extension or contraction of the conjugated system: Modifying the conjugated system of a dye molecule, either by extending or contracting it, can alter the electronic structure and, consequently, the fluorescence properties. Generally, extending the conjugated system results in a redshift longer wavelength in the absorption and emission spectra, while contracting the system leads to a blueshift shorter wavelength .3. Formation of intramolecular charge transfer ICT states: The introduction of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups in the same dye molecule can lead to the formation of ICT states, which can significantly affect the fluorescence properties. ICT states can result in large Stokes shifts the difference between the absorption and emission maxima , increased solvatochromism dependence of the fluorescence properties on the solvent polarity , and changes in the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime.4. Steric effects: The introduction of bulky substituents or structural modifications that affect the conformation of the dye molecule can lead to changes in the fluorescence properties. Steric effects can influence the rigidity of the dye molecule, which can affect the non-radiative decay pathways and, consequently, the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime.5. Aggregation-induced emission AIE : Some dye molecules exhibit enhanced fluorescence in the aggregated state compared to the monomeric state. Structural modifications that promote aggregation, such as the introduction of hydrophobic groups or the formation of hydrogen bonding networks, can lead to AIE behavior and significantly affect the fluorescence properties.In summary, structural modifications can have a profound impact on the fluorescence properties of dye molecules, including changes in the absorption and emission wavelengths, fluorescence quantum yield, lifetime, solvatochromism, and aggregation behavior. The specific effects depend on the type of dye and the nature of the structural modifications.
