Photophysical Properties of Rufloxacin in Neutral Aqueous Solution

The photophysical properties of rufloxacin, 9-fluoro-2_r3-dihydro-10-(4-methyl-l-pyrazinyl)-7-oxo-7-H-pyri-do[l,2,3-de]-l,4-benzothiazin-6-carboxylic acid, a fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug exhibiting photosensitizing action toward biological substrates, were studied in aqueous solutions at neutral pH. The lowest excited electronic states of the zwitterion were characterized by both experimental techniques and theoretical methods. Steady-state and time-resolved emission, triplet-state absorption and singlet oxygen production were investigated. The results indicate that the lowest excited singlet is a fluorescent, relatively long-lived state (φ_r= 0.075, T_r? 4.5 ns) with an efficient intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold (φ_isc? 0-⁷)- The lowest triplet is a long-lived state (T_T? 10 μs at 295 K in 0.01 M phosphate buffer), with properties that make it a good candidate for being the precursor of the photodecarboxylation of the drug. It is quenched by oxygen at a rate of 1.7 times 10⁹M^-1 s-¹ and singlet oxygen is formed with a quantum yield of 0.32 in air-saturated solutions.

Four cationic cyclometalated Ir^III complexes [(MeOPCz)₂Ir(bpy)]PF₆ ( 3 ), [(MeOPCz)₂Ir(dtb-bpy)]PF₆ ( 4 ), [(TFPCz)₂Ir(bpy)]PF₆ ( 5 ), and [(TFPCz)₂Ir(dtb-bpy)]PF₆ ( 6 ) were successfully synthesized using two new cyclometalated ligands 9-phenyl-3-(4-methoxypyridin-2-yl)-9H-carbazole (MeOPCz) 1 and 9-phenyl-3-(4-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-yl)-9H-carbazole (TFPCz) 2 in combination with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) and 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dtb-bpy) as ancillary ligands. These complexes adopt the distorted octahedral configuration, and the complexes 5 and 6 crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group C2/c. Emission wavelength of these complexes can be tuned from 583 nm to 628 nm by the substituents (methoxy, trifluoromethyl and tert-butyl groups) in ligands. All of these complexes show relatively high emission efficiencies (0.28–0.41) and short lifetimes (0.242–0.461 μs).     

Photophysical Properties of Pyrazinocoumarin Derivatives

Pyrazinocoumarin (PzC), 7-methoxypyrazinocoumarin (7-MOPzC) and 5,7-dimethoxypyrazinocoumarin (5,7-DMPzC) show the similar UV-visible absorption spectra as the corresponding coumarins except for more distinct shoulders in the near UV absorption band (300–350 nm), probably due to n * transition. Fluorescence excitation spectra of PzC derivatives in nonpolar solvents have the lowest energy maxima in the region of the shoulders of UV-visible absorption, indicating the lowest fluorescent state to have the same energy as these shoulders. Fluorescence quantum yields (ρF) of pyrazinocoumarins are on the order of 10 2-10-4, much lower than the corresponding coumarins. The activation energies (Ea(nr)) for nonradiative processes (internal conversion, intersystem crossing, etc.) determined by the temperature effect on the fluorescence are 10.2, 6.35 and 6.57 kj/mol for PzC, 7-MOPzC and 5,7-DMPzC, respectively. Phosphorescence emission spectra of PzC and 7-MOPzC are structureless with φP of 0.12 and 0.17, respectively     

Dual Solvatochromism of Neutral Red

Abstract— The effect of solvent polarity on the electronic absorption and fluorescence properties of neutral red (NR), a phenazine-based dye of biological importance has been investigated in several neat and mixed solvents. An unusual dual solvatochromic behavior has been observed that reveals the existence of two closely spaced electronic excited states in NR. In low-polarity solvents the fluorescence of the NR is mainly emitted from the localized excited state, whereas in high-polarity solvents the emission from the charge transfer state dominates. The dipole moments of the localized and charge transfer states of NR have been estimated from the solvatochromic shifts. The dipole moment of the localized excited state (4.8 D) is only slightly higher than that of the ground state (2.0 D), while that of the charge transfer state is drastically higher (17.5 D). Fluorescence quantum yields and the life-times of NR have been determined in different solvents and correlated with the solvatochromic shifts.

Absorption and Fluorescence Studies on Neutral and Cationic Isoalloxazines

The electronic properties of a variety of methylated isoalloxazine derivatives have been investigated with absorption and fluorescece techniques (Table 1). The spectral effects of methyl substitution at different positions in the isoalloxazine ring are interpreted in terms of different bond orders between the C-atoms of the methyl groups and of the aromatic ring. Methyl groups at C(6) or C(9) induce quenching of the fluorescence and shortening of the lifetime whereas a methyl group at C(7) has an opposite effect. The quenching effect might be due to strain in the molecular framework caused by the methyl groups. The lowest energy levels of the isoalloxazine cations are shifted to higher energy as compared to the neutral isoalloxazines. Apart from these shifts the trends in spectral behaviour upon methylation are similar to those observed for the neutral isoalloxazine (cf. Table 2). The fluorescence of the isoalloxazine cations is strongly quenched in auqeous solution and their lifetime much shortened. These observations indicated that there is substantial interaction between the charged fluorophore and the water dipoles and that this interaction produces efficient radiationless deactivation of the first excited singlet state.

Photophysical Investigations of Carmoisine Interacting with Conventional Cationic Surfactants Under Different pH Conditions

The present study describes the extent of interactions of an efficient food dye, Carmoisine (CAR), with conventional cationic surfactants, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and ethylhexadecyldimethylammonium bromide (EHDAB). The study was carried out by quantifying the spectral changes of CAR as a function of premicellar to postmicellar surfactant concentrations at various pH conditions. The quantification of CAR molecules entrapped by cationic micellar systems has been estimated with the help of mathematical models. Binding parameters of each surfactant were calculated using differential spectroscopic method. The enhanced solubilization of dye by switching the pH was observed. In support of the electrostatic forces, the larger and more hydrophobic head group favors the promising solubilization of CAR in the outer region of the micellar interior. These findings extend the proficiency of dye molecule as a reporter for sensing electrostatic environment in lipidic membranes and related organized assemblies.     

Degradation Mechanism of Cationic Red X-GRL by Ozonation

The degradation mechanism of Cationic Red X-GRL was investigated when the intermediates, the nitrate ion and the pH were analyzed in the ozonation. The degradation of the Cationic Red X-GRL includes the de-auxochrome stage, the decolour stage, and the decomposition of fragment stage. During the degradation process, among the six nitrogen atoms of Cationic Red X-GRL, one is transferred into a nitrate ion, one becomes the form of an amine compound, and the rest four are transformed into two molecules of nitrogen. In the course of the ozonation of Cationic Red X-GRL, the direct attack of ozone is the main decolour effect.
