A series of triphenylamino (TPA)-chalcones and triphenylamino-β-arylchalcones, displaying either D-π-D or D-π-A architecture, were synthesized through aldol condensations and Heck reactions. The chalcone derivatives display intense absorption bands ranging from 389 to 432 nm and molar extinction coefficients of ca. 10 L mol cm corresponding to π-π* electronic transitions. The photoluminescence emissions are peaked between 470 and 563 nm with large Stokes shifts (80-131 nm), attributed to charge transfer in the excited state. The dyes present low fluorescence quantum yields, which is attributed to radiationless excited state deactivation related to aryl rings rotation. Spectroscopic and electrochemical methods were used to determine the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels. Both optical and electrochemical properties of the TPA-chalcone derivatives are considerably affected by the substitution pattern of the chalcones aryl rings and also by the β-arylation of the olefin moiety.
