The majority of dyes belong to the chromophoric class known as donor-acceptor systems, the essential structural feature of such systems being the presence of one or more electron donating groups conjugated to one or more electron withdrawing groups via an unsaturated bridge. The indigo molecule may be formally divided into two identical electron donor/acceptor subsystems, each containing an add number of pi electrons, two subsystems being joined by carbon-carbon double bond. Indigoid type dyes which show a strong colour change on protonation or dissociation have many potential functional applications, for example as analytical pH indicators, solvent polarity indicators, and in various imaging and reprographic systems.

3,7-bis(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-5-phenyl-5H-benzo[b]phosphinedole 5-sulfide (DBPPS-TPA) and 3,7-bis(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-5-phenyl-5H-benzo[b]phosphinedole 5-selenide (DBPPSe-TPA) are newly synthesized D-A-D type molecules based on dibenzophospholes and their physic-chemical properties are studied in comparison with a P=O type compouond, 3,7-bis(4-(diphenylamino)-5-phenyl-5H-benzo[b]phosphinedole 5-oxide (DBPPO-TPA). Fluorescence emission and electrochemical redox properties of these compounds are investigated regarding results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, X-ray crystallographic structures and UV-vis absorption spectra. These results exhibit systematic variation in optical properties of these compounds having P=O, P=S, and P=Se units. LUMO energy level is systematically modulated with different chalcogenide atoms.
