Quantitative determination by temperature dependent near-infrared spectra

Near-infrared (NIR) spectra are sensitive to the variation of experimental conditions, such as temperature. In this work, the relationship between NIR absorption spectra and temperature was quantitatively analyzed and applied to the quantitative determination of the compositions in mixtures. It was found that, for the solvents such as water and ethanol, a quantitative spectra-temperature relationship (QSTR) model between NIR spectra and temperature can be established by using partial least squares (PLS) regression. Therefore, the temperature of a solution can be predicted by using the model and NIR spectrum. Furthermore, it was also found that the difference between the predicted results of different solutions is a quantitative reflection of concentration. The variation of intercept in the relationship of the predicted and measured temperature can be used to determine the concentration of the compositions. The mixtures of water, methanol, ethanol and ethylenediamine in a concentration range of 5-80% (v/v) were studied. The calibration curves are found to be reliable with the correlation coefficients (R) higher than 0.99. Both the QSTR and calibration model may extend the application of NIR spectroscopy and provide novel techniques for analytical chemistry.     

Study of the absorption and emission spectroscopy of "A-B" type photosensitive compounds including two-photon chromophore and benzophenone moiety

"A-B" type photosensitive compounds including two-photon chromophore and benzophenone moiety have been designed, synthesized and characterized. The UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission of the compounds have been extensively studied in various solvents. The results show that the absorption of "A-B" type compounds displays obvious double absorption bands, one of which at short-wavelength is related to the benzophenone moiety, the other at long-wavelength is mainly contributed by chromophore. The emission of "A-B" type compounds at 500-700nm shows an "unexpected" blue-shift comparing with that of the sole chromophore. The photosensitive compounds with amino group display strong emission in apolar solvents and have a low fluorescence quantum yields in polar solvents. In contrast, the compounds without amino group exhibit strong fluorescence emission in polar solvents, and low fluorescence quantum yields in apolar solvents. The fluorescence quantum yields of "A-B" type compounds are higher than those of the sole chromophore. The discoveries suggest that charge redistribution induced by the introduction of benzophenone moiety plays a key role on the absorption and emission spectroscopy.     

Calculations of the absorption and emission spectra of p-N,N-dimethylaminobenzonitrile and analogues in solution

Summary A self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method that accounts for full electronic relaxation of the initial and final state in an electron transition is derived. The absorption and emission spectra of p-N,N-dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMABN) and 6-cyanobenzquinuclidine (CBQ) are calculated in different solvents as a test of the method. The results from the fully relaxed SCRF method compare very well with results from a first-order relaxation SCRF model as well as with the experimental absorption and emission spectra of the two molecules considered in detail in this work.     

Quantitative determination by temperature dependent near-infrared spectra: a further study

Quantitative spectra-temperature relationship (QSTR) between near-infrared (NIR) spectra and temperature has been studied in our previous work (Talanta, 2010, 82, 1017-1021). In this study, applicability of the QSTR model for quantitative determination is further studied using the spectra of aqueous ethanol samples in the temperature range of 31-40 °C and the concentration range of 1-99%. The results show that QSTR model can be built by using the spectra in a small temperature range and the quantitative analysis can be achieved by only two spectra at different temperatures. Moreover, calibration curves for different concentration ranges (1-5%, 20-70%, 95-99%, v/v) are investigated by using linear and nonlinear curve fitting, respectively. Both of the linear and nonlinear curves are found to be applicable within these concentration ranges. Therefore, the temperature dependent NIR spectra may provide a new way for quantitative determination and may have high potential in bio-fluids analysis or industrial practices.

A bifunctional rhodamine derivative as chemosensor for recognizing Cu~(2+) and Hg~(2+) ions via different spectra

Synthesis,chemical reactivity,and photophysical properties of 2′,7′ phenylated rhodamine dyes

While exploring water soluble rhodamine based fluorescent polymeric systems for biological imaging applications we came across new rhodamine derivatives that possess interesting optical properties. We report the synthesis of three different 2′,7′-diphenylated rhodamine derivatives (1–3) with distinct photophysical properties. The three rhodamine derivatives differ by the number of methyl groups present on the nitrogens and their absorption maxima are red-shifted on increased methylation. We observed an unusual inertness of these compounds toward traditional DCC–DMAP esterification conditions, which we attribute to the ease of lactonization in the presence of even minute amounts of the nucleophile/base DMAP (pK_a = 9.2). Synthesis of acrylate esters was successfully accomplished using MSNT (1-(Mesitylene-2-sulfonyl)-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole) coupling conditions using a much milder nucleophile/base, for example, N-methyl imidazole (pK_a = 6.95).

A new rhodamine B-based lysosomal pH fluorescent indicator

We designed and synthesized a new pH fluorescent probe, RCE, based on structural changes of rhodamine dye at different pH values. The probe exhibits high selectivity, high sensitivity and quick response to acidic pH, as well as low cytotoxicity, excellent photostability, reversibility and cell membrane permeability. Fluorescence intensity at 584 nm was increased more than 150-fold within pH range 7.51–3.53. This probe has pK_a value 4.71, which is valuable for studying acidic organelles. Because of its long absorption and emission wavelengths, RCE can avoid associated cell damage. The probe can selectively stain lysosomes and monitor lysosomal pH changes in living cells.     

Synthesis and optical behaviors of 2-(9-phenanthrenyl)-, 2-(9-anthryl)-, and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1-alkylimidazole homologues

Eight 2-(9-phenanthrenyl)-, 2-(9-anthryl)- and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1-alkyl-benzimidazole compounds, three 2-(9-anthryl)-1-alkylphenanthroimidazole compounds and five 4,5-diphenyl-1-alkyl-2-(9-anthryl)imidazole compounds were synthesized by alkylation reactions of the corresponding benzimidazole, phenanthroimidazole or imidazole compounds. 2-(10-Bromo-9-anthryl)-1-alkyl-benzimidazole compounds were prepared by bromination reaction of 2-(9-anthryl)-1-alkylbenzimidazole compounds. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS or HRMS; their absorption coefficients (), maximum absorption λ_amax, fluorescence emission maximum λ_em, Stokes shifts and fluorescence quantum yields (Φ_F) in ethyl acetate were determined; their fluorescent lifetimes (T₁ and T₂) were measured in ethyl acetate and in solid state, respectively. The crystal structure of 2-(9-anthryl)-1-n-butyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole (12a) was determined to be triclinic, space group P-1 types, using single crystal X-ray crystallography technique. The results showed that these compounds exhibited moderate fluorescence-emission abilities and higher solubility in most organic solvents than their corresponding starting materials. The relationships between the optical behaviors and structures for these compounds were discussed.     

Surface-enhanced Raman spectra of rhodamine 19 octadecylamide

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of the cationic and the neutral form of rhodamine 19 octadecylamide (R19OA) has been studied in the silver citrate colloid using NIR excitation at 1064 nm. Cationic molecules readily adsorb onto negatively charged silver nanoparticles through a positively charged xanthene part of the molecules resulting in surface enhancement of Raman scattering. Due to a lack of the positive charge in molecular structure, SERS spectrum of neutral molecules is not observed. Nevertheless, a broad band appearing at 1240 cm^?1 in the spectrum of the cationic form indicates conversion of the cationic into the neutral species occurring close to the silver surface. The observed band most likely arises from a vibration of the ring formed in the molecular structure after conversion, but before complete desorption of the neutral molecules from the metal surface. Upon addition of HCl and NaOH in the silver sol, equilibrium is shifted toward the cationic and the neutral form of R19OA, respectively, followed by corresponding changes in the Raman spectrum. In addition, FT-SERS spectra of two rhodamine dyes, rhodamine 19 (R19) and rhodamine 6G (R6G), that are structurally related to R19OA, have been studied under the same experimental conditions for comparison.     

Kinetic studies of the polymerization of an epoxy resin modified with rhodamine B

Novel fluorescent materials were satisfactorily synthesized. With this aim, an epoxy resin based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) was reacted with a laser dye, rhodamine B (RB), to achieve an epoxy-based prepolymer. Then, a diamine, m-xylylenediamine (MXDA), was used as hardener with the purpose of obtaining a crosslinked polymer. The curing conditions strongly influence the intended final properties and the optimization of the curing requires a reliable kinetic model. For that reason, this work presents the kinetic study of the polymerization of the epoxy resin by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in isothermal mode as well as by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). DSC data were fitted using a Kamal autocatalytic equation. Conversion as a function of reaction time curves obtained by means of both techniques agreed well. In addition, the synthesized epoxy-based materials were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H NMR) and their fluorescent properties were also analysed.

Heteroatom-substituted rhodamine dyes: Structure and spectroscopic properties

Rhodamine is one class of most popular dyes used in fluorescence imaging due to the outstanding photoproperties including high brightness and photostability. In recent years, replacement the xanthene oxygen with other elements, especially silicon, has attracted great attentions in the development of new rhodamine derivatives. This review summarized the structures and photophysical properties of heteroatom-substituted rhodamines. We hope this review can help to understand the structure-property relationships of rhodamine dyes and then elucidate the way to create derivatives with improved photoproperties.
