`Energy Transfer in Mixtures of Water-Soluble
`Oligomers: Effect of Charge, Aggregation, and
`Surfactant Complexati0n**
`
`By Martin Stork, Brent S. Gaylord, Alan J. Heeger,
`and Guillermo C. Bazan*
`
`Emissive conjugated polymers are under intense investiga-
`tion for their potential role in chemicallll and biologicallzl sen-
`sors. Intrachain and interchain energy transfer processesl3l al—
`low excitations to sample multiple environmentsl‘ll If one of
`these sites is in close proximity to a fluorescence quencher
`molecule,
`the result
`is an enhancement of the quenching
`event. If removal of the quencher molecule from the vicinity
`of the conjugated polymer can be coupled to the presence of a
`target analyte, one obtains the platform for optical sensing. It
`is difficult for isolated fluorophores to exhibit similar amplifi-
`cation.
`
`Water-soluble conjugated polymerslsl are of particular inter-
`est in biosensor schemeslf’l To compensate for the hydropho-
`bic nature of the backbone, these polymers contain charged
`groups for solubility in aqueous media. The dependence of in-
`terchain aggregation and the coil conformation ShOW behavior
`typical of polyelectrolytes.
`Indeed, many of
`the lessons
`learned from the complexation of surfactants to polyelectro-
`lytesm have been used to tune the optical properties of poly-
`mers such as p01y(2,5-methoxy-propyloxysulfonate phenyl—
`eneVinylene)
`(MPS—PPV).l8l The relationship between the
`charge of the quencher molecule and the efficiency of quench—
`ing has also been studied for a polymer similar to MP8—
`PPV.l9l

`
`More recently, energy transfer between oppositely charged
`polyelectrolytes has been used to obtain fluorescence super-
`quenchinglml These mixtures offer possibilities of “charge re-
`versal”, where it is possible to encourage interactions between
`a given polyelectrolyte and a fluorescence quencher with simi—
`lar charge. For example, mixing MPS—PPV with a cationic
`poly-L-lysine with appended cyanine dyes results in a complex
`where energy transfer from MPS—PPV to the dye takes place
`followed by quenching with a negatively charged anthraqui-
`none derivativelml
`im—
`Despite much success in demonstrating applications,
`portant structure—optical properties relationships in water
`soluble conjugated polymer mixtures remain lacking. In an
`analogy to the elucidation of optical properties as a function
`of chainlength for many conjugated polymers,[‘” we com-
`pared the properties of MPS-PPV against those of pentaso—
`dium 1,4—bis(4’(2”,4”—bis(butoxysu1fonate)—styryl)styryl)-2—
`(butoxysulfonate)-5-meth0xybenzene (1).“21 In water,
`the
`fluorescence quenching by methylviologen is less effective by
`a factor of ~50, when compared to similar experiments with
`MPS—PPV. However,
`in the presence of
`the surfactant
`dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, methylviologen
`is
`more effective at quenching the fluorescence of 1, relative to
`MPS—PPV. Since surfactants are often required to stabilize
`deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/protein, protein/protein, and
`DNA/DNA recognition eventsml these results suggest the
`use of discrete molecules such as 1 in the design of fluores—
`cence-based biosensors.

`(4) was prepared to
`provide a comparison against a polymer structure. Together,
`these molecules can be used to examine the chain dependence
`of optical processes in cationic water soluble conjugated poly—
`mersml Additionally, mixtures of 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 can be used
`to probe the impact of a surfactant on energy transfer pro-
`cesses in aqueous media.

`Compound 2 is obtained by the sequence of reactions shown
`in Scheme 1. The first step consists of deprotonation of 2-bro—
`mofluorene with NaOH in a two-phase mixture of water and
`1,6—dibromohexane (1:1 ratio). Extraction with dichlorometh-
`ane and distillation of unreacted 1,6-dibromohexane provides

`less oil. Purification by chromatography provides 5 in 83 0/o
`yield. Addition of dimethylamine to 5[151 in tetrahydrofuran
`(THF) at —15 °C followed by reaction over a 24 h period pro—
`vides 2-bromo—9,9-bis(6’—(N,N—dimethylamino)hexyl)fluorene
`(6) in 97 0/o yield. Coupling two equivalents of 6 with 1,4-phe-
`nyldiboronic acid under Suzuki conditions with Pd(dppf)C12
`(dppf = 1,1’—bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene)l16] in refluxing
`THF over 48 h gives, after purification by chromatography,
`1,4-bis(9’,9’-bis(6”—(N,N-dimethylamino)hexyl)—2’-fluorenyl)-
`benzene (7) in 77 % yield. The final step in the synthesis is
`quarternization of the tertiary amines by using methyliodide in
`THF/dimethylformamide (DMF). Water needs to be added
`after a few minutes of reaction to redissolve the reaction mix-
`ture. Compound 2 is purified by precipitation from ethanol.
`The larger chromophore 3 is obtained by a similar set of
`reactions and building blocks to that used for 2, as shown in
`Scheme 2.
`2,7-Dibromo-9,9—bis(6’—(N,N-dimethylamino)hex-

`with 2,7—dibr0mofluorene by reaction of 1,6—dibrom0hexane
`followed by treatment with dimethylamine. An excess of 8
`was added to 1,4-phenyldiboronic acid under Suzuki condi-
`tions to give 1,4-bis(7’—bromo-9’,9’-bis(6”-(MN—dimethylami-
`no)hexyl)-2’-fluorenyl)benzene (9). Purification by chroma—
`tography is required at this stage to separate 9 from small

`mine~lithium exchange using n-butyl
`lithium, followed by

`nyl)benzene (11). Quarternization with methyliodide in THF/
`DMF/HZO gives the desired 3.
`The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of 2
`and 3 show broad resonance peaks that are difficult to distin-
`guish at room temperature. However, at 90 °C, the peaks be-
`come sharp, which allows for routine structural assignment.
`All of the methyl signals correspond to quarternized amine
`groups by both 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Further struc-
`tural assignment can be obtained by electrospray mass spec-
`trometry (MS). For example, the electrospray ionisation mass
`spectrum (ESI—MS) of 2 shows data corresponding to
`M(1355.50, 2 — 1'): M(614.31; 2 — 2132+, M(367.25; 2 — 3 r)“,
`M(243.70; 2 — 41’)“, and a fragment M(265.15; 2 — fluorene
`— 21‘)“. Interestingly, in the case of 3, an additional fragmen—
`tation mechanism, involving elimination of methyliodide, was
`observed. Thus, one observes a series of fragments, which
`have lost between one and three units of methyliodide.
`The synthesis of polymer 4 utilizes the same building blocks
`(8 and 1,4-phenyldiboronic acid) and reaction conditions as
`for the synthesis of 9, but using a stoichiometric ratio of the
`two, as shown in Scheme 3. Poly(9,9-bis(6’—(N,N-dimethylami-
`no)hexyl)—fluorenephenylene) is obtained in 47 % yield after
`precipitation from methanol. Structural assignment can be

`
`chromatography (GPC) analysis shows a molecular weight of
`Mn 2 8600 g/mol and a polydispersity of 1.9. Quarternization
`of poly(9,9-bis(6’-(MN—dimethylamino)hexyl)-fluorenephenyl-
`ene) with methyliodide in THF/DMF/water gives the desired
`4, as determined by elemental analysis.
`In water the absorption maximum of 2 occurs at 333 nm
`(8333 : 6.6 x 104 Lmol'1 cm’l) and is identical to that observed
`for the neutral precursor 7 in chloroform. In cyclohexane, 7
`shows an absorption maximum at 328 nm. The photolumines—
`cence spectrum of 2 in water, with two maxima at 377 nm and
`397 nm, is nearly identical to that of 7 in chloroform. Thus,
`the chromophore core in 2 shows a negligible solvatochromic
`shift. Comparison against 9,10-diphenylanthracene in cyclo-
`hexane as a standard showed the emission efficiency of 2 in
`water to be 92 i 5 0/0. The spectra of 3 in water show similar
`features to those of 2, except for a 31 nm bathochromic shift
`(labS = 364 nm; 8364 = 1.3 X 105 Lmol’1 cm‘l; lfiu = 408 nm and
`426 nm), brought about by the additional conjugated units.
`Compound 3 displays a fluorescence efficiency of 53 % i 5 "/o.
`Polymer 4 exhibits an absorption maximum at 369 nm
`(8369 = 3.1 x 104 Lmol’l cm‘1 per repeat unit). The photolumi-
`nescence spectrum of 4 in water is broader than the spectra of
`2 and 3 and is centered at 417 nm (labS = 370 nm). Extension
`in repeat units from 3 to 4 therefore does not shift the absorp-
`tion and photoluminescence spectra significantly. The fluores-
`cence efficiency of 4 (32 i 5 0/o) is lower than that of 3, prob—
`ably as a result of functionalities at the ends of the chain and
`additional intrachain self quenching.
`The absorption spectrum of 1 in water overlaps with the
`emission spectra of 2, 3, and 4, thus we would expect effi-
`cient Forster energy transfer between these molecules.[18‘19]
`Indeed, when 1 is added to a solution of 2, one observes a
`decrease in the emission of 2, with a concomitant increase
`in the emission of 1 (Fig. 1). For the spectra shown in
`Figure 1, [2] = 2 x 104‘ M, while [1] varies in the range from

`these mixtures decreases, consistent with the lower fluores-
`
`cence efficiency of 1 (10 i 5 %), relative to 2. Mixtures of 1
`and 3 yield spectra similar to those shown in Figure 1.

`the rate for quenching or energy transfer. The Stern—Volmer
`plot in Figure 2 is typical for those obtained with mixtures of
`1 and 2, as well as 1/3 and 1/4. A linear region is observed at
`low quencher concentrations, followed by an up-sloping non-
`linear (“superlinear”) region where the energy transfer may
`be best described by a “sphere-of—action” mechanismlzml
`Similar behavior of PLO/PL versus fluorescence quencher is
`observed with anionic conjugated polymers and cationic
`quenchers such as methylviologen.[22]
`The linear region of Figure 2 provides a KSV value of
`3.2 x 10" M'l. Using the fluorescence lifetime of a chromo-
`phore similar to 2,931 one 'can provide a conservative estimate
`for the fluorescence lifetime of 2 to be 0.7 ns. Assuming a
`
`dynamic quenching mechanism, one would estimate the
`dynamic quenching rate constant to be kq = KSV/rf ~ 4.6 x
`1016 M’1 s'l, which is several orders of magnitude above values
`for diffusion—controlled quenchingml Static quenching by
`formation of ground state complexes therefore dominates and
`is favored by the Coulombic stabilization by ion pairing
`between 1 and 2.
`
`As the concentration of the cationic chromophore de—
`creases,
`the magnitude of the KSV value for fluorescence
`quenching with 1 increases significantly. Figure 3 compares
`this effect for both 2 and 3, as a function of fluorene repeat
`
`unit (RU). Note that at [2] = 1 x 10‘8 M, KSV approaches val-

`ues of 1 x 108 M‘l, which reflects very efficient fluorescence
`quenching.[8“z‘”l Under these circumstances, the presence of
`10'9 M 1 causes a 20% drop in emission intensity. which is
`easily detected using standard instrumentation. It is also sig—
`nificant that. within experimental certainty,
`the st/repeat
`unit values for 2 and 3 are identical.
`
`To understand the increase in quenching efficiency as a
`function of concentration we consider a molecule of 2 in solu—
`
`tion. A greater entropic driving force exists at lower concen-
`trations for the dissociation of iodide ions away from the posi-
`
`tively charged oligomer. This removal of ions decreases
`electrostatic screening around 2 and favors close proximity
`between 1 and 2. Similar arguments apply for the larger KSV
`values observed for 3 and 4 at low concentrations.
`
`Figure 3 also shows st values obtained for energy transfer
`between the polymer 4 and 1. These values are ~3—4 times
`larger than those observed with 2 and 3. Fluorescence quench-
`ing of MPS-PPV is also greater than that of the oligomeric
`counterpart 1112] Intermolecular and/or intramolecular energy
`transfer processes between oligophenylene units in the poly-
`mer chain must take place and the larger st reflects the
`macromolecular aspect of 4114]
`As mentioned earlier, molecules with surfactant properties
`
`are often present in buffers that stabilize biochemical recogni-
`tion eventsml Addition of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) to 2.
`3, and 4 causes a broadening of the absorption spectra and a
`reduction in the optical density. The 8 values at the absorption
`maximum are decreased by a factor of three. The emission
`efficiency under these conditions changes slightly (:10%),
`once the drop in absorption is taken into account. Figure 4
`summarizes the effect of [SDS] on the st for energy transfer
`to 1. Correlating the ratio of SDS equivalents against
`the
`number of charge units (CU) allows a straightforward com-
`parison as a function of molecular structure.
`Two distinct regions for the three chromophores can be
`observed in Figure 4. In the range 0 ——> 0.75 [SDS]/[CU] there
`is little change in the KSV values for 2 and 3. but a decrease
`occurs with polymer 4. Interestingly, at [SDS]/[CU] = 0.75, the
`st values for the three cationic species are very close in
`magnitude. Increasing [SDS]/[CU] after this point reveals no-
`ticeable differences as function of structure. In the case of 2,
`
`st increases slightly in the l —> 2 [SDS]/[CU] range. and

`
`then decreases, ultimately reaching a value similar to that ob-
`served in the absence of surfactant. A more pronounced in-
`crease in KSV occurs for 3, at [SDS]/[CU] = 1, KSV : 4 x
`107 M“. A decrease follows and when [SDS]/[CU] = 5, Le.
`40 equivalents of SDS relative to 3, the KSV is substantially
`higher than in the absence of surfactant. Finally. for the larg-
`est molecule 4, the increase in st is the largest (from 5 x
`106 M‘1 to 5.2 x 107 M‘l) and no decrease in magnitude is ob—
`served at [SDS]/[CU] = 5.
`Maximum sensitivity for the energy transfer to 1 is thus ob—
`tained for the polymer 4 in the presence of a large excess of
`surfactant. The data in Figure 4 reveal how sensitive the effi—
`ciency of this process is to the number of repeat units in the
`donor chromophore. We suspect that quenching efficiencies
`depend on the aggregation of the chromophores in water and
`to the extent to which these supramolecular structures influ—
`ence electronic coupling between optical subunits and the
`average donor/acceptor distance. It is also interesting to note
`that the fluorescence quenching of MPS—PPV with methylvio-
`logen decreases in the presence of the surfactant dodecyltri—
`methylammoniumbromide (DTA). A similar trend occurs for
`1/4 at [SDS]/[CU] < 0.75. However, with MPS—PPV and DTA
`precipitation occurs at [DTA]/[CU] = 1. This system cannot
`access the regime of efficient quenching with additional sur-
`factant, as in SDS with 4.
`
`The synthesis and optical studies of 2, 3, and 4 provide a
`framework for future work with conjugated water soluble
`polymers and their respective oligomeric counterparts. Design
`of new optical platforms will require balancing the properties
`of size with the corresponding solvent environment. The
`smaller chromophores have larger quantum yields and are less
`sensitive by solvent media, yet show lower quenching efficien—
`cies, or sensitivity, when compared to their larger counter-
`parts.
