Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional materials technology, specifically to a quinoxaline-based organoboron dye, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Organic fluorescent dyes play an irreplaceable role in optical detection, bioimaging, and photomedicine due to their excellent photophysical properties and structural tunability. Among them, BODIPY (fluorinated boron dipyrrole) dyes have attracted widespread attention due to their high molar absorptivity, high fluorescence quantum yield, and excellent photochemical stability (Chem. Soc. Rev., 2014, 43, 4778; Coord. Chem. Rev., 2025, 545, 217030). However, these dyes still face two major bottlenecks in practical applications: (1) severe self-absorption effect: BODIPY dyes generally have a small Stokes shift (usually less than 30 nm), which easily leads to the overlap of emission and absorption spectra, resulting in severe self-absorption; (2) aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ): the traditional planar rigid structure makes them prone to fluorescence quenching in condensed matter systems or high-concentration environments, which significantly limits their application in solid-state luminescent materials and biodetection. Therefore, overcoming this bottleneck through molecular design has become an important research direction in this field in recent years. Existing technologies already include some fluorescent dyes that utilize quinoxalin groups as the core framework, such as the quinoxalin-based difluoroboron fluorescent compound disclosed in CN202410484855.X. Its core structure is a difluoroboron (BF2) compound based on the coordination of quinoxalin nitrogen and oxygen atoms, with two fluorine atoms attached to the boron atom. The molecular spatial configuration tends towards a planar rigid structure. This planar structure is highly susceptible to aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ), limiting its application in solid-state or high-concentration biological environments.
[0003] In recent years, constructing N,O-type chelate ligands and introducing aromatic groups along the boron atom axis has become an effective strategy for suppressing dye aggregation quenching (Coord. Chem. Rev., 2024, 513, 215892). However, such methods typically rely on structurally complex ligand systems, involve cumbersome synthetic steps, and often result in compounds existing in a single configuration, making it difficult to achieve controllable construction and separation of different spatial isomers. Furthermore, the impact of cis / trans configuration differences on photophysical properties lacks systematic research. In addition, existing modification strategies have limited effectiveness in enhancing the Stokes shift, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve a large Stokes shift and excellent solid-state luminescence performance.
[0004] Therefore, developing a novel organic boron fluorescent dye system with a novel structure, a simple synthesis route, and the ability to precisely regulate photophysical properties through spatial configuration control remains a pressing technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a quinoxaline-based organoboron dye, its preparation method, and its applications. The aim is to solve the problems of small Stokes shift and aggregation-induced quenching in existing organoboron dyes by constructing a novel N,O-type polydentate ligand framework based on 2,3-dihydrazinoquinoxaline and utilizing its unique spatial geometric properties.

[0011]
[0012] As a preferred option, Ar 1 Each is independently selected from, but not limited to, a benzene ring, a benzothiophene ring, a benzofuran ring, a naphthalene ring, a juulonidin ring, a quinoline ring, a pyrene ring, or a derivative thereof; Ar 2 Each is independently selected from, but not limited to, one of phenyl, thiophene, furanyl, pyridyl, biphenyl, naphthyl, pyrene, or their derivatives.
[0013] Preferably, the substitution is silicon-based.
[0014] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned organoboron dye, comprising the following steps:
[0015] Step (1): Add 2,3-dihydrazinoquinoxaline to the first solvent, dissolve it, add aromatic aldehyde or its derivative, add acid to react, and obtain intermediate N,O type ligand I;
[0016]
[0017] Step (2): Dissolve intermediate N,O type ligand I in a second solvent, add alkali and organoboronic acid compound to react and obtain the above-mentioned quinoxalin-based organoboronic dye BOSQUIs;
[0018]

The base comprises an organic base or an inorganic base; the organic base is selected from one or more of triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), or 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene; the inorganic base is selected from one or more of sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0026] This invention successfully constructed a novel N,O-type ligand platform through the condensation reaction of 2,3-dihydrazinoquinoxaline with salicylaldehyde compounds. Further coordination with boric acid derivatives introduced aromatic groups along the boron atom axis, forming a three-dimensional structure composed of a "ligand plane" and "axial aryl groups." Utilizing the steric hindrance of substituents and the difference in benzene ring orientation, the precise construction and separation of cis (syn-) and anti- isomers were achieved. Studies show that due to the steric hindrance generated by the axial aryl groups and the restricted intramolecular motion mechanism, this series of compounds exhibits excellent photostability and high molar absorbance. Furthermore, the two isomers show significant structure-activity differences in solid-state luminescence performance: the anti-isomer exhibits a significant aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect and viscosity response, with a significantly enhanced fluorescence signal intensity. Both types achieve Stokes shifts exceeding 100 nm, effectively reducing self-absorption interference. Thanks to its simple synthetic process and easily modifiable structure, this novel organoboron dye shows promising application prospects in imaging complex biological environments.
[0027] This invention employs a one-pot, two-step method, where intermediate ligands can be obtained with high-purity products through in-situ precipitation, greatly improving production efficiency and industrial feasibility. Attached Figure Description

After the solid was completely dissolved, salicylaldehyde (2.5 mmol) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.5 mL) were added. At this point, the reaction solution gradually darkened in color, accompanied by the formation of a precipitate. The reaction was stopped after 1 hour, and intermediate I-1 was collected by filtration under reduced pressure. This intermediate did not require further purification and was used directly in the next coordination reaction. Intermediate I-1 (1 mmol) was dispersed in toluene (35 mL), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.5 mL) was added. After the system became clear, 4-biphenylboronic acid (2.5 mmol) was added, and the mixture was heated to 110 °C under reflux for 8 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the target products A-1e (35% yield) and B-1e (28% yield).

[0123] Performance tests were performed on some of the products from the above embodiments.
[0124] This invention employs a slow solvent diffusion method to cultivate single crystals of the target compound to confirm its precise spatial configuration. Specifically, the pure A-4a or B-4a obtained by column chromatography in Example 11 is dissolved in dichloromethane to prepare a near-saturated solution. After filtration through a microporous membrane, the solution is transferred into a clean single crystal tube. Hexane is then added very slowly along the tube wall as a poor solvent, creating a clear liquid-liquid interface between the good and poor solvents. The container is then sealed and placed in a constant-temperature, light-proof, and vibration-proof environment. After 3 to 7 days of solvent interdiffusion, transparent, blocky single crystals with regular geometric shapes precipitate on the tube wall or bottom. Single crystals of suitable size are then selected for X-ray single-crystal diffraction testing and structural analysis.
[0125] Single-crystal structure analysis confirmed that the BOSQUIs dye is based on an N,O-type six-membered chelate ring structure formed by the 2,3-dihydrazinoquinoxaline ligand and the central boron atom, with the boron atoms exhibiting a typical tetrahedral coordination geometry. As shown in Figure 1, the two axial benzene rings of A-4a are located on the same side of the quinoxaline core plane, arranged in a cis configuration, exhibiting a confined saddle-shaped topology. Strong π-π interactions exist between the dimer molecules, with conjugated planes coupling with an overlap of up to 50% and an interlayer spacing of 3.45 Å. This highly overlapping "parallel sandwich" stacking greatly promotes nonradiative transitions between excitons, leading to severe fluorescence quenching. In contrast, the trans-isomer B-4a shown in Figure 2 adopts a step-like dislocation stacking, with significant dislocation between molecules, resulting in a significantly reduced conjugated plane overlap of 19% and an increased average interlayer spacing of 3.53 Å. This "loose" and interlaced arrangement effectively suppresses concentration quenching and restricts intramolecular rotation in the aggregated state, thus endowing the trans isomer with excellent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect.
[0126] Weigh out each target organoboron dye compound (A-4a, B-4a, A-4b, B-6b, A-6a, B-6a), dissolve and quantitatively dilute them in spectroscopically pure dichloromethane to prepare a solution with a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. -5 The test solution M was used. Absorption spectra were measured using a JASCO V-670 UV-Vis spectrophotometer, emission spectra were measured using a HITACHI F-4700 fluorescence spectrometer, and fluorescence quantum efficiency was measured using a Quantaurus-QY Plus UV-NIR absolute quantum efficiency meter. The efficiency was calculated using the formula SS = λ. em max −λ abs max The Stokes shifts of each dye were calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0129] As shown in Table 1 and Figure 3, the maximum absorption peaks (λ) of compounds A-4a, B-4a, A-4b, and B-4b are... abs max The emission peak is concentrated at 493–514 nm, corresponding to the maximum emission peak (λ). em maxLocated in the 594–597 nm region, these dyes exhibit remarkably large Stokes shifts (SS), generally exceeding 100 nm (e.g., A-4a reaches 104 nm), far superior to conventional planar BF2 fluorescent molecules (e.g., BODIPY, ~10 nm). The large SS effectively avoids overlap between excitation and emission spectra, completely eliminating fluorescence self-absorption interference, thus greatly improving the accuracy and sensitivity of optical detection. The fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) of these dyes in dilute DCM solutions is... F The initial background luminescence is extremely low, almost "silent". This ultra-large Stokes shift, combined with extremely low initial background luminescence, not only effectively avoids the fluorescence self-absorption effect, but also lays the physical foundation for subsequent high signal-to-noise ratio environmental response imaging.
[0130] To investigate the luminescence enhancement characteristics of BOSQUIs dyes in the aggregated state, this invention uses A-4a and B-4a as examples to examine the influence of the cis and trans configurations of these organoboron dyes on AIE behavior. As shown in Figure 4, in the THF / H2O mixed system, A-4a and A-4b show almost no luminescence in pure THF; with the increase of the undesirable solvent (water) volume fraction (f... w As the concentration increased from 10% to 50%, the fluorescence intensity of the cis-configuration A-4a exhibited a significant monotonic decreasing trend, and at f w When f = 50%, it drops to its lowest point, exhibiting typical aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ) characteristics, attributed to the nonradiative transition of excitons induced by the tight π-π packing of the cis isomers in the early stages of aggregation. w When the concentration is further increased to over 60%, the fluorescence intensity rebounds and slightly exceeds the initial intensity due to the intramolecular restricted irradiation (RIR) effect becoming dominant, exhibiting weak AIE activity. In contrast, the trans configuration B-4b exhibits a significantly different performance advantage. With f w As the concentration increased from 10% to 70%, the fluorescence intensity showed a significant upward trend, with a maximum enhancement factor approaching 10-fold. This significant improvement stemmed from the wider interlayer spacing (3.53 Å) and extremely low orbital overlap (19%) of the trans configuration, effectively suppressing concentration quenching in the aggregated state and achieving efficient radiative attenuation through rotational restriction of axial groups in a space-constrained environment. w Once the aggregate size exceeds 70%, the fluorescence intensity decreases due to severe Mie scattering or kinetic precipitation caused by excessive aggregate size growth.
[0131] To further verify the effect of environmental viscosity on the excited-state deactivation pathway, this invention investigated the fluorescence response characteristics of BOSQUIs dyes in a glycerol / methanol (Glycerol / MeOH) mixed solvent system.Figure 5 As shown, the cis-A-4a and trans-A-4b isomers exhibit consistent viscosity-response behavior, with their fluorescence intensity monotonically increasing with increasing medium viscosity, and showing increasing intensity at glycerol volume fraction f. g The intensity peaks at 70% and 80%, followed by a signal decline due to excessive aggregate size growth or precipitation. This cross-configurational response synchronicity strongly confirms the dominant role of intramolecular motion-restricted mechanisms in the luminescence enhancement process: increased environmental viscosity suppresses the free rotation of axial aryl groups around single bonds through hydrodynamic resistance, thereby significantly blocking non-radiative energy transition channels. This characteristic endows the dye with great application potential in lipid droplet imaging. By utilizing the high-viscosity and strongly hydrophobic microenvironment inside the lipid droplet to synergistically trigger AIE and viscosity response, high-contrast in-situ "on" imaging under a "silent" polar cytoplasmic background is achieved.
