Theoretical rationalisation of the photophysics of a TICT excited state of cinnamoyl–coumarin derivatives in homogeneous and biological membrane models
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new hybrid cinnamoyl-coumarin probe was synthesised to study the formation and dynamics of a twisted internal charge transfer (TICT) excited state in homogeneous and biological membrane models. This probe showed a large bathochromic shift of the fluorescence band with the solvent polarity, which is associated with the decrease in the fluorescence intensity due to fast non-radiative deactivation pathways, ascribed to TICT excited state formation in polar solvents. The calculated potential energy surfaces using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent-DFT (TD-DFT) along with the energetic barriers calculated using the ABF methodology established the energy requirements for a rotational twisting of the cinnamoyl-coumarin bond for TICT excited state formation. This strategy has allowed estimating the role of the ground state conformation and excited state distribution that, concomitant with fluorescence lifetime measurements, describes in detail dual fluorescence emission from TICT and ICT excited states. Moreover, the high sensitivity of fluorescence lifetimes of the TICT excited state in liposomes allows us to propose the use of this type of probes as a powerful tool for the study of gel and crystalline liquid phases in lipid membrane models. The development of this new approach will allow rationalizing and understanding the photochemical behavior of fluorescent TICT-based probes in constrained biological environments.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
