Relation between delayed luminescence and functional state in soya seeds

Summary The possibility of using the parameters connected to delayed luminescence to detect thermal stress conditions in soya seeds is discussed here and the results of the measurement of photoinduced emission conducted on soya seeds characterized by a different vegetative vigour are presented. A phenomenological relationship between the total re-emission and the growth velocity was found. The distributions of the decay times relative to the different conditions of stress on the seeds have given indications towards the existence of different dynamics. On the basis of the results it seems that a correlation exists between the functional state of the seeds and delayed luminescence. The authors of this paper have agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.     

Relative photodissociation cross-section of NaCs molecule,using argon ion laser lines

Laser-induced photodissociation of NaCs molecule has been observed when a mixture of Na and Cs metal vapour in a glass cell was irradiated by most of the lines of an argon ion laser. The photodissociation results in the 3P state of Na atoms which is correlated with theF ¹Σ⁺ and G¹π molecular states of NaCs. Distribution of photofragments over fine structure components 3² P _3/2 and 3² P _1/2 of Na has been studied. The ratio of intensity ofD ₂ line (5890 Å) toD ₁ line (5896 Å) of Na varies from around 2 at 5145 Å to about 3.5 at 4579 Å. The relative photodissociation cross-section increases monotonically as the wave-length of laser light decreases from 5145 Å to 4579 Å. It is seen that the 4579 Å photon is about 200 times more effective than the 5145 Å photon in causing the photoreaction NaCs + (Ar⁺ photon) → Na*(3P) + Cs(6S).     

Multireference Calculation of the Photodissociation of Benzyl Chloride

The photodissociation mechanism of benzyl chloride （BzCl） under 248 nm has been investigated by the complete active space SCF （CASSCF） method by calculating the geometries of the ground （S0） and lower excited states, the vertical （Tv） and adiabatic （T0） excitation energies of the lower states, and the dissociation reaction pathways on the potential energy surfaces （PES） of SI, TI and T2 states. The calculated results clearly elucidated the photodissociation mechanism of BzCl, and indicated that the photodissociation on the PES of T1 state is the most favorable.     

Dynamic behavior of highly excited molecular states in the strong monochromatic laser fields

The dynamic behavior of highly excited molecular states in an external monochromatic field has been investigated in order to establish the general trends in the Rydberg state manifestations in collisional and radiative processes. The effects of interference between direct (background) and resonant interactions and coupling between the continua on the fine structure of collision cross sections and near-threshold photoabsorption spectra are discussed. Analytical expressions for the widths and intensities of the Rydberg lines induced by mixing the field with other quasistationary states are derived and their dependence on the external field strength and frequency are analyzed. It was found that the appreciable stabilization of isolated Rydberg levels observed previously in superstrong fields is also possible in fields much weaker than atomic fields. The possibility of laser control for the energy averaged cross sections and reaction rate constants are considered. All effects are illustrated for thee ^– + H₂ ⁺ system.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and properties of azidostyrylquinolines

Isomeric azidostyrylquinolines with a 4-azidostyryl group in position 2 or 4 of the quinoline ring have been synthesized. In the neutral form the azidostyrylquinolines absorb in the near UV but the protonated species absorb in the short wavelength region of the visible spectrum. In both forms the azides are lightsensitive and decompose under the influence of light with a quantum yield close to 1. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 555–561, April, 2007.

Ab initio studies for the photodissociation mechanism of hydroxyacetone

The reaction pathways for CH(3)COCH(2)OH (hydroxyacetone) photodissociation on the low-lying electronic states have been studied with use of the CASSCF energy gradient techniques. The S(0)/S(1) and S(1)/T(1) intersection points were determined by the state-average CASSCF method. Two main reaction pathways, which are possible to the photodissociation, have been studied. It has been found that the mechanism is stepwise, and belongs to Norrish type-I reaction. The n --> pi* excitation leads to the first excited singlet state, followed by the intersystem crossing from S(1) to T(1). On the T(1) potential energy surface, the system can dissociate adiabatically to CH(3)(x) +COCH(2)OH( x) and CH(3)CO(x)+CH(2)OH(x). The COCH(2)OH(x) and CH(3)CO(x) radicals can further dissociate into CO, OH, and other fragments. Our calculated results are in good agreement with recent experimental results.     

Production of CH （A2△） by multi-photon dissociation of （CH3）2CO,CH3NO2, CH2Br2, and CHBr3 at 213 nm

In order to realize electrostatic Stark deceleration of CH radicals and study cold chemistry, the fifth harmonic of a YAG laser is used to prepare CH(A2△) molecules through using the multi-photon dissociation of(CH3)2CO, CH3NO2, CH2Br2,and CHBr3 at ～ 213 nm. The CH product intensity is measured by using the emission spectrum of CH(A2△→ X2Π). The dependence of fluorescence intensity on laser power is studied, and the probable dissociation channels are analyzed. The relationship between the fluorescence intensity and some parameters, such as the temperature of the beam source, stagnation pressure, and the time delay between the opening of pulse valve and the photolysis laser, are also studied. The influence of three different carrier gases on CH signal intensity is investigated. The vibrational and rotational temperatures of the CH(A2△) product are obtained by comparing experimental data with the simulated ones from the LIFBASE program.
