Abstract A novel intramolecular donor-acceptor system of four isomers consisting of 7H-benzimidazo(2,1-a)benz(d,e)isoquinolin-7-ones and diarylamine units was synthesized and characterized: the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the system in a variety of solvents were investigated. Intramolecular charge transfer was confirmed within the system by virtue of shifts in emission maximum with increasing solvent polarity; a high dipole moment for the intramolecular excited State Was calculated using the Lippert equation. Shorter lifetimes were observed in polar solvents compared with those in non-polar solvents, indicating strong dipole-dipole interactions occurred. The ground-state geometry, lowest energy transition and the UV-vis spectrum Of the system Were Studied using density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31G' level, which showed that the Calculated outcomes were in good agreement with experimental data.
