Steric effect on fluorescence quenching

In this communication we have reported the steric effect on the fluorescence quenching rate constants of the electron transfer (ET) process. We have done a comparative study using donor (D)-acceptor (A) systems with different exergonicity (-deltaG(f)). Different carbazole derivatives (CZ): 1,4-dicyanobenzene (DCB) systems (-deltaG(f) = 0.7-0.8 eV) were found to be among those limiting systems that show a clear-cut steric dominance in the process of fluorescence quenching. It is known that with increasing exergonicity the ET distance increases and hence steric dependence becomes insignificant. On the other hand, with decreasing exergonicity the ET distance decreases and a pronounced steric dominance should be observed. However, in the D-A systems having lower exergonicity compared to CZ-DCB systems, this steric dominance is observed only in polar medium. In non-polar medium due to exciplex formation the D-A distance effectively becomes much longer and therefore no steric dominance is observed.     

Thioamide quenching of intrinsic protein fluorescence

Thioamides quench tryptophan and tyrosine fluorescence in a distance-dependent manner and thus can be used to monitor the binding of thioamide-containing peptides to proteins. Since thioamide analogs of the natural amino acids can be synthetically incorporated into peptides, they can function as minimally-perturbing probes of protein/peptide interactions.     

Measurement of glucose using fluorescence quenching

A new spectroscopic procedure for the measurement of glucose concentrations is described which is based on substrate induced quenching (SIQ) of an indicator fluorescence. The method exploits a novel photo reaction between thionine and NADH, the latter being generated due to the reduction of NAD⁺ in an enzymic reaction between glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) and glucose. The observed SIQ data was analysed using an empirical relation. A quenching constant of 1.8×10³ (±100) M⁻¹ is obtained for the substrate induced quenching of thionine by glucose. The reported method, which was investigated over the range 0–1000 μM, offers a glucose detection limit of 2.2 μM. Various applications of the proposed scheme are discussed, including its use to construct a fibre optic biosensor for glucose.     

Stimulated fluorescence and fluorescence quenching in chlorophyll a and bacteriochlorophyll a

This communication deals with the photophysical processes that take place in chlorophyll solutions under intense nitrogen laser irradiation. The effect of the pump photon density on the fluorescence yield depends strongly on the geometry of the irradiation and the sampling set-up. If the fluorescence cell and sampling probe are placed close to the transverse arrangement used for obtaining laser output, line narrowing and gain, which are processes associated with high population inversions and stimulated fluorescence, are observed. A normal fluorescence spectrum and a decrease in fluorescence quantum yield with increasing pump power are observed in the fluorescence cells in oriented at an angle of 20–40° with respect to the transverse axis of the exciting beam. The decrease in quantum yield appears to result from absorption of the pump photons by the excited singlet of the chlorophylls, and it is suggested that an analogous mechanism may be responsible for the anomalous fluorescence quantum yield reported for in in vivo Chlorella vulgaris algae.     

Structural and fluorescence quenching characterization of hematite nanoparticles

Nanoparticles of the dominant hematite form (α-Fe(2)O(3)) of iron oxide have been prepared by a simple route of dropping FeCl(3) solution into boiling water. The nanoparticles have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible electronic absorption spectroscopy, chemical stoichiometry, thermal analysis methods (TGA, DSC and DTA), XRD, FTIR and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Kinetic analysis of the DSC calorigram of thermal dehydration of the nanoparticles reveals one stage of the dehydration process of energy of activation of 29.0 kJ mol(-1). The role of iron oxide nanoparticles in fluorescence quenching of coumarin thiourea derivatives (I-IV) was investigated at room temperature (296 K) by means of steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The quenching process was characterized by Stern-Volmer (S-V) plots which display a positive deviation from linearity. This could be explained by static and dynamic quenching models. The positive deviation in the S-V plot is interpreted in terms of ground-state complex formation model and sphere of action static quenching model. Various rate parameters for the ?uorescence quenching process were determined by using the modi?ed Stern-Volmer equation. The sphere of action static quenching model agrees very well with experimental results. Quenching constants for iron oxide nanoparticles are about four orders of magnitudes higher than quenching by Fe(3+) ions.     

Pyrene fluorescence quenching by aromatic azides

Pyrene fluorescence quenching by phenylazide derivatives with donor and acceptor substituents has been studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and flash photolysis. The rate constants of quenching (k _q) in acetonitrile ((0.2–1.2) × 10¹⁰ l mol^?1 s^?1) are found to be close to a diffusion limit; the rate constants were somewhat higher for perfluoro-substituted arylazides. It is found that k _q does not depend on solvent polarity; the formation of the pyrene cation in the course of pyrene fluorescence quenching by tolylazide was not detected. Pyrene fluorescence quenching occurred by an energy-transfer mechanism; this is supported by the coincidence of the quantum yields of the direct and sensitized photodecomposition of tolylazide. As estimated, energy transfer in rigid media occurs at characteristic distances of about 10 Å.     

Iodide fluorescence quenching of sol-gel immobilized BSA

Several potential applications of sol-gel immobilized proteins may require drying the gel before use. The attendant shrinkage may sterically restrict the penetration of solutes to the entrapped protein. In this study, collisional quenching of intrinsic bovine serum albumin (BSA) fluorescence by dissolved iodide was used to quantitatively compare the accessibility of protein molecules entrapped in hydrated and dried sol-gel monoliths. The results show that iodide penetration to immobilized BSA is sterically restricted by approximately 25% in hydrated gels and 50% in dried gels, relative to the quenching behavior of dissolved BSA. The further decrease upon drying is consistent with the overall degree of monolith shrinkage.     

Reduced fluorescence quenching of cyclodextrin-acetylene dye rotaxanes

An acetylene dye rotaxane with alpha-CD has been synthesized using the Heck-Cassar-Sonogashira-Hagihara-type reaction in aqueous solution. Free dye with tetracarboxylic acids is found to be highly sensitive to various metal ions, showing high Stern-Volmer constants, KSV. As CD encapsulation protects and stabilizes the threaded chromophore against an outside quencher, metal-insensitive biological tags are an obvious application for this class of molecules.     

Photophysicochemical and fluorescence quenching studies of benzyloxyphenoxy-substituted zinc phthalocyanines

Photochemical and photophysical measurements were conducted on peripheral and non-peripheral tetrakis- and octakis(4-benzyloxyphenoxy)-substituted zinc phthalocyanines (1, 2 and 3). General trends are described for photodegradation, and fluorescence quantum yields, triplet lifetimes and triplet quantum yields as well as singlet oxygen quantum yields of these compounds in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and toluene. The fluorescence of the complexes is quenched by benzoquinone (BQ), and fluorescence quenching properties are investigated in DMSO and toluene. The effects of the solvents on the photophysical and photochemical parameters of the zinc(II) phthalocyanines (1, 2 and 3) are also reported. Photophysical and photochemical properties of phthalocyanine complexes are very useful for PDT applications.
