CHANGES IN SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF CHLOROPHYLL DURING GREENING OF BARLEY LEAVES

Abstract— In order to study the formation of photochemical systems in the early phase of greening of barley leaves, we examined the changes in chlorophyll (Chl) spectral components of the absorption spectrum of greening tissues using a curvc analysis method. Peak positions of the fourth-derivative spectrum were changing during the first 30 min of illumination hut became stable thereafter. Results of curve analysis showed that about half of the spectral components of mature leaves were already found at 30 min after onset of illumination, and the rest appeared by 4 h. After 30 min the half widths of some spectral componcnts changed slightly. The 683 nm form of Chl a of the photosystem 11 (PSII) core was present after 30 min of illumination and increased up to 2 h, followed by a decrease. The 641 nm form of Chl u of photosystem I (PSI) appeared at 30 min and increased until 2.5 h. The 699 nm form of Chl a also appeared at 1.5 h. The 640 nm form of Chl b appeared at 2 h, while the 649 nm Chl b form was found earlier (1.5 h). Both components were increasing with prolonged time of illumination. Finally, the 704 nm form of Chl a characteristic of the PSI peripheral antenna appeared at 4 h of greening. Ruorescence of PSI and PSII began to appear at 1 and 2 h, respectively. These spectral changes were discussed in relation to the formation of chlorophyll-protein complexes and the development of photochemical activities.     

Synthesis and characterization of a cadmium-dichloro compound of N,N , O -di-2-pyridyl ketone thiophene-2-carboxylic acid hydrazone (η 3-dpktch). The structure of [CdCl2(η 3-dpktch)]

The reaction between dpktch and CdCl₂ in refluxing acetonitrile gave [CdCl₂(η³-dpktch)] in good yield. Spectroscopic measurements divulge the coordination of dpktch and the elemental analysis confirmed its formulation. Optical measurements in N,N-dimethylformamide (dmf) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in the absence and presence of a proton donor/acceptor disclosed two highly sensitivity interlocked intra-ligand-charge-transfer transitions (ILCT) that are sensitive to their surroundings. Under basic conditions, a low-energy electronic transition with an extinction coefficient of 17,400?±?2000?M^?1cm^?1 appeared at ～403?nm and a peak minimum appeared at 326?nm. Under acidic conditions, a high energy electronic transition with extinction coefficient of 13,500?±?2000?M^?1cm^?1 appeared at ～330?nm and a shoulder appeared at ～400?nm. The addition of an acid to a dmf solution of [CdCl₂(η³-dpktch)] caused the disappearance of the low energy absorption band at 403?nm and a peak maximum appeared at 330?nm. The reverse was observed when a base was added to a DMSO solution of [CdCl₂(η³-dpktch)]. Electrochemical measurements reveal reduction of coordinated CdCl₂ and oxidation of electrodeposited cadmium metal along with ligand-based redox processes. X-ray crystallographic analysis on a monoclinic, P2₁/n single crystal of [CdCl₂(η³-dpktch)], confirmed the N,N,O-coordination of dpktch and revealed digitated units of [CdCl₂(η³-dpktch)] interlocked via a web of hydrogen bonds.

Synthesis of multifunctional copolymers of poly(methylphenylsilane) with (R)-N-(1-phenylethyl)methacrylamide,disperse red 1 methacrylate and their optical and photoluminescence properties

Abstract

We report the synthesis and characterization of multifunctional polysilane copolymers containing chiral and azobenzene chromophore as a pendant group. Multifunctional polymers of poly(methylphenylsilane) (PMPS) with (R)-N-(1-phenylethyl)methacrylamide (R-NPEMAM) and disperse red 1 methacrylate (DR1MA) were synthesized in a quartz tube using UV-technique. The molecular weights of such synthesized copolymers were found to be in the order of 10³. The appearance of two glass transition temperatures in DSC indicated that the synthesized copolymers are block copolymers. The electronic absorbance of synthesized polymers was observed at 272?nm (π-π* transition of aromatic ring), 330?nm (σ-σ* transition of Si-Si chain of PMPS) and 475?nm (n-π* with π-π* transition due to azobenzene chromophore of DR1MA unit). The chirality of the synthesized polymer was confirmed through circular dichroism observed at 261?nm. Induced chirality appeared at 330?nm and 470?nm due to the association of the Si-Si chain of PMPS and the presence of azobenzene chromophore of the DR1MA unit respectively. The photoluminescence (PL) properties of the synthesized copolymers (SCDRDM-1B, SCDRDM-2B, and SCDRDM-3B) were observed at 307?nm and 415?nm when excited at 275?nm. The λem was also observed at 415?nm when excited by 325?nm. The multi-emission spectra appeared at 500?nm, 550 and 590?nm are presumed to be due to exciton coupling between azobenzene chromophore of DR1MA, and Si-Si σ-conjugation in association with the aromatic ring of PMPS and chiral unit R-NPEMAM block.     

Formation of an exciplex with mixed ligands in the mercury-photosensitized luminescence of alcohol-amine mixtures in the liquid phase

The liquid-phase mercury-photosensitized luminescence of tert-butyl alcohol (TL)-tert-butylamine (TM) mixtures has been investigated by a steady-state illumination method over a wide range of substrate concentrations. The emission bands from exciplexes (HgTL* and HgTM*) between an excited mercury atom and an alcohol or an amine molecule were observed at about 330 nm and 370 nm, respectively, in TL and TM solutions in cyclohexane. Two other bands appeared at 405 nm and 455 nm for TM at high concentrations. These bands were previously assigned to two types of 1:2 exciplexes (HgTM(2)* and HgTM(2)**). In TL-TM mixed solutions, a new band appeared at about 400 nm. The intensity of this band increased with increasing concentrations of TL and TM. This band was attributed to an exciplex with mixed ligands (HgTLTM*). This band was observed for the first time in this study. The energized intermediate, (HgTLTM*)(not equal), formed between HgAL* and AM can be effectively stabilized by collisions with solvent molecules in solution, while it decomposes to HgAM* and AL in the gas phase. The results for TL-TM mixtures can be explained by the proposed reaction mechanism.     

Ferrocene-based heteroditopic receptors displaying high selectivity toward lead and mercury metal cations through different channels

The synthesis and electrochemical, optical, and ion-sensing properties of ferrocene-imidazophenazine dyads are presented. Dyad 4 behaves as a highly selective chemosensor molecule for Pb(2+) cations in CH(3)-CN/H(2)O (9:1). The emission spectrum (λ(exc) = 317 nm) undergoes an important chelation-enhanced fluorescence effect (CHEF = 47) in the presence of Pb(2+) cations, a new low-energy band appeared at 502 nm, in its UV/vis spectrun, and the oxidation redox peak is anodically shifted (ΔE(1/2) = 230 mV). The presence of Hg(2+) cations also induced a perturbation of the redox potencial although in less extension than those found with Pb(2+) cations. Dyad 7, bearing two fused pyridine rings, has shown its ability for sensing Hg(2+) cations selectively through three channels: electrochemical, optical, and fluorescent; the oxidation redox peak is anodically shifted (ΔE(1/2) = 200 mV), a new low-energy band of the absorption spectrum appeared at 485 nm, and the emission spectrum (λ(exc) = 340 nm) is red-shifted by 32 nm accompanied by a remarkable chelation-enhanced fluorescent effect (CHEF = 165). Linear sweep voltammetry revealed that Cu(2+) cations induced oxidation of the ferrocene unit in both dyads. (1)H NMR studies have been carried out to obtain information about the molecular sites which are involved in the binding process.

Li2SrSiO4:Ce3+,Tb3+荧光粉的发光特性及Ce3+→Tb3+的能量传递

用固相反应法合成了具有单相的Li2EuSiO4结构的Li2Sr1-x-ySiO4:xCe3+,yTb3+系列样品。荧光光谱研究表明,Li2SrSiO4:Ce3+发射很强的蓝光,最强的激发峰位于360 nm;而Li2SrSiO4:Tb3+发射很强的绿光,最强的激发激发峰位于243 nm,但在350～410 nm的激发非常微弱。在Ce3+,Tb3+共掺杂的样品Li2Sr0.99-ySiO4:0.01Ce3+,yTb3+中,观察到Ce3+对Tb3+的共振能量传递。由于Ce3+对Tb3+能量传递,Tb3+的激发光谱中出现360 nm附近的宽激发峰。控制Tb3+/Ce3+掺杂浓度比可以实现绿蓝双基色的调制。这种双基色的荧光粉有望在紫外激发的白光LED中获得应用。     

Multiphoton Ionization of Monosilane

The (3 + 1) photon ionization spectra of SiH_4 have been measured. A basically continuous spectrum was recorded in laser wavelengths from 428 to 458 nm.Two vibrational progressions were found in the UV laser region of 347-392 nm, anda fine structure of the band at 363.5 nm was assigned.The fragment ions were detected by a time-offlight mass spectrometer. No parent ion SiH_4~+ was observed whereas SiH_2~+ and SiH_3~+ were the major products. The ratio of SiH_2~+/SiH_3~+ was approximately equal to that of single photon ionization at the same energy, but the fraction of Si~+ was increased. Some additional bands appeared in Si~+ spectrum in the range of 384-390 nm implicating that the increased Si~+ might be generated from SiH_2~+ and SiH~+ ions.     

Synthesis of pendant-type anthraquinone-bridged cofacial dinuclear platinum(II) complexes and their emission properties

Anthraquinone-bridged mononuclear and dinuclear complexes, [PtCl(AQ-amide-tpy)](PF6) (1), [Pt2Cl2(AQ-amide-tpy2)](PF6)2 (2), and [Pt2Cl2(AQ-eth-tpy2)](PF6)2 (3), were synthesized and their photochemical properties were investigated. Amide-bound mononuclear complex 1 exhibited only metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption and emission, whereas dinuclear complex 2 exhibited a low-energy emission around 700 nm at room temperature. Emission lifetime analysis indicated that this emission was originated from the metal-metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MMLCT) excited state, implying the existence of an intramolecular Pt-Pt interaction at the photoexcited state. 3 with rigid ethynylene linkers showed a low-energy absorption around 520 nm (epsilon = approximately 1100 M(-1) cm(-1)) in addition to an 1MLCT absorption, which was ascribed to a 3MLCT absorption from the consideration of the Pt-Pt distance on a geometry-optimized structure. The emission of 3 appeared at 600 nm, which is higher in energy compared with the emission of 2. It is postulated that the restriction of the Pt-Pt distance flexibility in the rigid structure of 3 prevents the significant increase of the Pt-Pt interaction at the excited state.     

Reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+ in Xerogels Prepared from (3-Aminopropyl)Trimethoxysilane

Silica gels doped with Cu²⁺ ions were prepared from the (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMOS)/tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) systems. Sols showed a broad absorption peak at 640 nm, suggesting 3–5 coordination of the aminopropyl groups to Cu²⁺. For gels prepared from APTMOS and dried at room temperature, the 640 nm peak decreased and a red-shifted absorption appeared below 400 nm within a few months. The luminescence spectra of the xerogels showed emission bands at 430–470 and 510 nm. The former and latter bands are ascribed to Cu⁺ monomer and dimer emissions, respectively. These results indicate that Cu²⁺ ions are reduced to Cu⁺. When xerogels were prepared from APTMOS/TEOS = 1 (vol/vol), the color of xerogels was blue with an absorption peak at around 670 nm, indicating no reduction of Cu²⁺ ions.     

Adsorption and co-adsorption of ethylene and carbon monoxide on silica-supported monodisperse Pt nanoparticles: volumetric adsorption and infrared spectroscopy studies

The adsorption of carbon monoxide and ethylene, and their sequential adsorption, was studied over a series of Pt/SBA-15 catalysts with monodisperse particle sizes ranging from 1.7 to 7.1 nm by diffuse-reflectance infrared spectroscopy and chemisorption. Gas adsorption was dependent on the Pt particle size, temperature, and sequence of gas exposure. Adsorption of CO at room temperature on Pt/SBA-15 gives rise to a spectroscopic feature assigned to the C-O stretch: nu(CO) = 2075 cm-1 (1.9 nm); 2079 cm-1 (2.9 nm); 2082 cm-1 (3.6 nm); and 2090 cm-1 (7.1 nm). The intensity of the signal decreased in a sigmoidal fashion with increasing temperature, thereby providing semiquantitative surface coverage information. Adsorption of ethylene on Pt/SBA-15 gave rise to spectroscopic features at approximately 1340, approximately 1420, and approximately 1500 cm-1 assigned to ethylidyne, di-sigma-bonded ethylene, and pi-bonded ethylene, respectively. The ratio of these surface species is highly dependent on the Pt particle size. At room temperature, Pt particles stabilize ethylidyne as well as di-sigma- and pi-bonded ethylene; however, ethylidyne predominated on the surfaces of larger particles. Ethylidyne was the only identifiable species at 403 K, with its formation being more facile on larger particles. Co-adsorption experiments reveal that the composition of the surface layer is dependent on the order of exposure to gases. Exposure of a C2H4-covered Pt surface to CO resulted in an approximately 50% decrease in chemisorbed CO compared to a fresh Pt surface. The nu(CO) appeared at 2050 cm-1 on Pt/SBA-15 pretreated with C2H4 at room temperature. The di-sigma-bonded and pi-bonded species are the most susceptible to displacement from the surface by CO. The formation of ethylidyne appeared to be less sensitive to the presence of adsorbed carbon monoxide, especially on larger particles. Upon exposure of C2H4 to a CO-covered Pt surface, little irreversible uptake occurred due to nearly 100% site blocking. These results demonstrate that carbon monoxide competes directly with ethylene for surface sites, which will have direct implications on the poisoning of the heterogeneously catalyzed conversion of hydrocarbons.     

Synthesis and characterization of functional photoactive organic-inorganic block copolymers of poly(methylphenylsilane) and disperse red 1 methacrylate and study of their optical and photophysical properties

Functional photoactive organic-inorganic block copolymers of poly(methylphenylsilane) (PMPS) and disperse red 1 methacrylate (DR1MA) were synthesized in a quartz tube using UV-technique. The synthesized block copolymers were characterized by FTIR, NMR, GPC and thermal analyses and studied for their optical and photoluminescence properties. The weight average and number average molecular weights of such a synthesized block copolymer are 2.47 × 10³ and 2.27 × 10³, respectively. The appearance of two glass transition temperatures indicated the synthesized polymers as block copolymers. The functional organic-inorganic block copolymers exhibited optical absorbance at 276 nm due to aromatic ring associated with both the blocks and at 325 nm due to σ-electron delocalization of Si-Si chain of PMPS block. Also, the optical absorbance appeared at 472 nm is due to combining the contribution of n-π* and first π-π* charge transfer electronic transition of the azobenzene chromophore of DR1MA unit. Two photoemissions were observed at 307 nm and 415 nm when such a polymer was excited at 275 nm. The photoluminescence was also observed at 415 nm when excited by 325 nm. The multi-emission spectra appeared between 510 nm to 580 nm are presumed to be due to exciton coupling between azobenzene chromophore of DR1MA and and Si-Si σ-conjugation of PMPS block. The synthesized copolymers are thermally stable up to 260°C. Such functional photoactive block copolymers may find novel optoelectronic application.

Ratiometric Fluorescent Determination of the Zinc Ion Using a Terpyridine Derivative

Zinc is essential for normal growth and development, and hence selective recognition and detection for zinc has been a significant area of research. Here 4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine is described for the ratiometric fluorescence quantification of zinc ion with high selectivity. The fluorescence of 4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine at 406?nm was quenched in the presence of zinc, and a new emission band appeared at 452?nm. The ratiometric method for the determination of zinc ion was based on the dual fluorescence measurements at 406 and 452?nm. This fluorescence response is caused by the formation of a 1:1 complex between 4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine and the zinc(II) ion. The analytical figures of merit for the protocol were obtained. The linear dynamic range extended for zinc concentrations from 3.0 to 40.0?µmol/L with a limit of detection of 0.28?µmol/L. Zinc was determined in water with satisfactory results.

Highly selective mercury(II) cations detection in mixed-aqueous media by a ferrocene-based fluorescent receptor

A new chemosensor molecule 3 based on a ferrocene-imidazophenanthrophenazine dyad effectively recognizes Hg(2+) in an aqueous environment through three different channels. Upon recognition, an anodic shift of the ferrocene-ferrocenium oxidation potential (ΔE(1/2) = 240 mV) and a progressive red shift (Δλ = 17 nm) of the low energy band in its absorption spectrum is produced. The emission spectrum of 3 in an aqueous environment, CH(3)CN-EtOH-H(2)O (65:25:10), and conducted at pH = 7.4 (20 × 10(-3) M HEPES) (Φ = 0.003), is perturbed after addition of Hg(2+) cations and an intense and structureless red shift emission band at 494 nm (Δλ = 92 nm) appeared along with an increase of the intensity of the emission band (CHEF = 77), the quantum yield (Φ = 0.054) resulted in a 18-fold increase. The combined (1)H NMR data of the complex and the theoretical calculations suggest the proposed bridging coordination mode.
