ABSTRACT
Benzimidazolyl pyridine based fluorescent probe molecule L1 is high-selectivity and high-sensitivity for formaldehyde. The optimal structure, infrared spectroscopy and frontier molecular orbitals of the molecule are calculated by using a high-precision quantum chemical calculation method with density functional theory and suitable basis sets. By comparing with experimental data, the calculated molecular configuration is reasonable and effective. Through the frontier molecular orbital energy analysis, the electron transfer mechanism of the fluorescence quenching of the L1 fluorescent probe with the formaldehyde molecule is clarified. This work is a preliminary exploration of quantum chemical calculation methods in the field of molecular fluorescent probes for photophysical properties analysis, and can provide valuable theoretical references for this field.
