Effects of organic and aqueous solvents on the electronic absorption and fluorescence of chloroaluminum (III) tetrasulphonated naphthalocyanine

The effects of various solvents on the ground and excited states of chloroaluminum (III) tetrasulphonated naphthalocyanine (AlNcS(4)) were studied. Both the absorbance and fluorescence spectra were found to be influenced by the hydrogen bond donating ability of various solvents. As the hydrogen bond donating ability of the solvent increased, hypsochromic and bathochromic shifts in the absorbance and fluorescence spectra were observed in protic and aprotic solvents respectively. Plots of the absorbance and fluorescence maxima versus the E(T)(30) solvent parameter showed linear relationships in binary mixtures of protic-protic (methanol-H(2)O) and aprotic-protic (DMSO-H(2)O) solvents. Aggregation was indicated by a broad band in the ground state absorption spectra and a low quantum efficiency 0.04 relative to the efficiency observed in organic solvents. A face-to-face conformation of the monomeric subunits of the dimer is suggested due to the red-shifted absorbance band. The acid-base properties of the dye were studied and were indicative of a multi-step process. In acidic conditions (pH 1), protonation of the bridging nitrogen atoms was identified by a broad band appearing red-shifted to those obtained at higher pH values. Under slightly acidic conditions a pKa value of 6.7 was determined for one of the meso-nitrogen. In alkaline conditions a pKa of 11.5 was determined for another meso-nitrogen and a second fluorescence band emerged at 804 nm, red-shifted to the emission maxima.     

Spectroscopic analysis of naphtholazobenzimidazole in organised solution

Micelle–water partition coefficient (K_x ) of naphtholazobenzimidazole dye (NAB) in aqueous solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) has been determined spectrophotometerically. Changes in absorption patterns of dye caused by surfactants and solvents were quantified in terms of dye–surfactant ratio (n _D/n _S) and solvent water partition coefficients (P), respectively. Multiple residence sites have been suggested for dye molecules within micelles, based on shifts in azo-hydrazone tautomeric equilibrium. Micelle–water partition coefficients were used to evaluate the influence of dye on critical micelle concentration of CTAB and SDS. At same micelle concentration, M, the relative solubility of NAB was greater in cationic surfactant CTAB than in anionic surfactant SDS.     

Solubilization of two organic dyes by cationic ester-containing gemini surfactants

Solubilization of two different types of organic dyes, Quinizarin with an anthraquinone structure and Sudan I with an azo structure, has been studied in aqueous solutions of a series of cationic gemini surfactants and of a conventional monomeric cationic surfactant, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). Surfactant concentrations both above and below the critical micelle concentration were used. The concentration of solubilized dye at equilibrium was determined from the absorbance of the solution at λ(max) with the aid of a calibration curve. The solubilization power of the gemini surfactants was higher than that of DTAB and increased with increasing alkyl chain length. An increase in length of the spacer unit resulted in increased solubilization power while a hydroxyl group in the spacer did not have much effect. Ester bonds in the alkyl chains reduced the solubilization power with respect to both dyes. A comparison between the absorbance spectra of the dyes in micellar solution with spectra in a range of solvents of different polarity indicated that the dye is situated in a relatively polar environment. One may therefore assume that the dye is located just below the head group region of the micelle. Attractive π-cation interactions may play a role for orienting the dye to the outer region of the micelle.     

Fluorescence decay of singlet excited-state of safranine T and its interaction with ground-state of pyridinthiones in micelles and homogeneous media

The fluorescence decays of safranine T were studied in different homogeneous solvents and heterogeneous micellar solutions. It has been found that micellization leads to an increase in the lifetime. The lifetime distributions were studied in micelles and homogeneous media. It was found that the different half-width distributions of the dye in different micelles are related to the different orientation of the dye in different micelles. Also, the fluorescence quenching of safranine T by 4,6-disubstituted-3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-thiones was studied in chloroform, methanol and acetonitrile as well as in different micelles. In heterogeneous media the kq values for quenching of safranine T by thiones in various micelles increase on the following order: kq(CTAB) < kq(TX-100) < kq(SDS). This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the anionic SDS and the cationic moiety of safranine T and therefore the quenching process will be less significant.     

Investigation of the spectral properties of a squarylium near-infrared dye and its complexation with Fe(III) and Co(II) ions.

The spectral features of the squarylium dye NN525 in different solutions and its complexation with several metal ions were investigated. The absorbance maximum of the dye is at 669 nm in tetrahydrofuran. This value matches the output of a commercially available laser diode (650 nm), thus making use of such a source practical for excitation. The emission maximum of the dye in tetrahydrofuran is at 676 nm. The addition of either Fe(III) ion or Co(II) ion resulted in fluorescence quenching of the dye. The detection limit is 6.24 x 10(-8) M for Fe(III) ion and 1.55 x 10(-8) M for Co(II) ion. The molar ratio of the metal to the dye was established to be 1:1 for both metal ions. The stability constant Ks of the metal-dye complex was calculated to be 3.14 x 10(6) M(-1) for the Fe-dye complex and 2.64 x 10(5) M(-1) for the Co-dye complex.     

The kinetics of electron transfer reaction of methylene green and titanium trichloride in different solvents

The kinetics of the electron transfer reaction of methylene green and titanium trichloride was investigated in different solvents by spectrophotometry at different temperatures. The the reaction rate was determined by monitoring the absorbance as a function of time at λ_max 655 nm. The reaction is pseudo-first order, dependent only on the concentration of titanium trichloride at a fixed concentration of methylene green.     

Spectroscopic studies of the interaction between methylene blue-naphthol orange complex and anionic and cationic surfactants

Initially, the absorbance of MB at 665 nm decreased rapidly with increasing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration, but increased gradually above about 2.3x10(-3) M. However, the absorbance of MB was almost independent of the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) concentration. On the other hand, the absorbance of NpO was affected by addition of CTAB in a similar manner to the change in MB-SDS system, but not by addition of SDS. The absorption band of MB showed a small red-shift and a decrease in intensity upon addition of NpO, while that of NpO showed only the decrease in the intensity upon the addition of MB. These spectral changes were attributed to the formation of complexes between these dyes. The effects of anionic and cationic surfactants on the absorption spectra of mixtures of MB and NpO were also examined. Contrary to the effects on the absorption spectrum of MB and NpO, respectively, the absorbances of MB and NpO in the mixtures were changed with the additions of both anionic and cationic surfactants. The spectral changes were explained by changes in the forms of MB and NpO in the solutions with increasing surfactant concentrations.     

Hydrogen-bonding molecular ruler surfactants as probes of specific solvation at liquid/liquid interfaces

Resonance-enhanced, second harmonic generation (SHG) is used to measure the electronic structure of solutes sensitive to specific solvation adsorbed to liquid/liquid and liquid/solid interfaces. Here, specific solvation refers to solvent–solute interactions that are directional and localized. N-methyl-p-methoxyaniline (NMMA) is a solute whose first allowed electronic transition wavelength remains almost constant (∼315 nm) in non-hydrogen-bonding solvents regardless of solvent polarity. However, in hydrogen-bond-accepting solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide, NMMA’s absorbance shifts to longer wavelengths (320 nm), whereas in hydrogen-bond-donating solvents (e.g., water), the absorbance shifts to shorter wavelengths (∼300 nm). SHG experiments show that at alkane/silica interfaces, surface silanol groups serve as moderately strong hydrogen-bond donors as evidenced by NMMA’s absorbance of 307 nm. At the carbon tetrachloride/water interface, NMMA absorbance also shifts to slightly shorter wavelengths (298 nm) implying that water molecules at this liquid/liquid interface are donating strong hydrogen bonds to the adsorbed NMMA solutes. In contrast, experiments using newly developed molecular ruler surfactants with NMMA as a model hydrophobic solute and a hydrophilic, cationic headgroup imply that, as NMMA migrates across an aqueous/alkane interface, it carries with it water that functions as a hydrogen-bond-accepting partner.
