Two-photon spectroscopy of inductively perturbed naphthalenes by Richard Dwight Jones A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Montana State University © Copyright by Richard Dwight Jones (1987) Abstract: Perturbative effects on the one - and two -photon spectra of naphthalene caused by fluorine, chlorine and aza (nitrogen in the place of carbon) substitution are investigated. The results are in general accord with the pseudoparity selection rules of Callis, Scott and Albrecht J. Chem. Phys. 7 8, 16 (1983). Enhancement of two-photon absorptivity in the second excited singlet state (La) by fluorine substitution is not as dramatic in the fluoronaphthalenes, as it is in fluorobenzene. As seen in the one-photon spectra, fluorine substitution has a greater inductive effect in the 2- position of naphthalene, but has less than aza substitution. Polarized two-photon fluorescence excitation spectra in the laser wavelength range 450-650 nm are compared to one-photon absorption spectra for solution-phase naphthalene, 1- and 2 fluoronaphthalenes , 1- and 2-chloronaphthalenes, isoquinoline and its cation. Results of INDO/S calculations using singly as well as singly and doubly excited configuration interaction are presented for naphthalene, vibrationally distorted naphthalenes, the fluoronaphthalenes, the azanaphthalenes and their cations. The calculations underestimate the inductive effect of fluorine, especially in the 2position. A method is developed for properly normalizing two-photon spectral data which greatly reduces the uncertainties involved in matching spectral segments from different laser dyes. The usual linear reference detector is replaced with a quadratic detector based on powders of nonlinear optical materials such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). The source of the uncertainties resulting from normalizing two-photon excited fluorescence to the square of a linear reference is due primarily to changes in laser temporal pulse widths as the dye laser is scanned.

The following of theories section recounts explaining the the historical development spectral features of these and related m o l e c u l e s . Historical Background In the early 1940's , patterns began to appear in the OP electronic absorption spectra of aromatic hydrocarbons and their substituted derivatives bands were observed in most of (I - 3). Three types of these ultraviolet absorp­ tion spectra: 1) w e a k b a n d s , usually of lowest e n e r g y , with complex vibrational s t r u c t u r e , having intensities and positions sensitive to substituents, 2) moderately intense bands unchanged by s u b s t i t u e n t s , w ith regular vibrational s t r u c t u r e , and . 3) strong bands of highest energy wit h little vibrational structure. 5 Theoretical descriptions of benzene's excited states (4,5) and the effects of substituents on its least intense band (6,7) were complex and could not be applied to larger molecules. Not until a simple unified theory was developed could these spectral features be understood. Platt (8), describing and b e n z e n e -Iike present in 1949, introduced an classifying the electronic hydrocarbons, which understanding.
