It has been observed experimentally that donor−acceptor systems of the same familly as 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzonitrile (4DMAB−CN) exhibit increased dual fluorescence activity as their alkyl chain length becomes longer. In the present study, the dual fluorescence activity of 4-(N,N-diethylamino)benzonitrile (4DEAB−CN) and 4-(N,N-diisopropylamino)benzonitrile (4DIAB−CN) molecules is investigated using time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). Absorption and emission energies have been computed with the MPW1PW91 and the Becke three-parameter Lee−Yang−Parr (B3LYP) hybrid functionals in combination with the 6-311+G(2d,p) basis set. The ground-state geometry has been optimized at the B3LYP level with the 6-31G(d) basis set. The formation of the charge-transfer excited state has been examined from the point of view of the twisting intramolecular charge-transfer (TICT) and planar intramolecular charge-transfer (PICT) models previously proposed in the literature to explain the dual fluorescence behavior ...
