Photophysical characteristics of polyaniline with photochromic azobenzene side groups

Photochromic characteristics and optical molecular reorientation in conducting polymer such as polyaniline derivatives containing photochromic azobenzene moieties (PAPNPAPOA) in side chain are studied. Changes in the UV—vis absorption, refractive index, thickness, contact angle and morphology of these films after irradiation of a linearly polarized light with a wavelength of 365nm are measured. The trans-cis isomerization of PAPNPAPOA is proved irreversible even after withdrawing the UV light for a long time. That the structure of main-chain attends by the trans-cis isomerization of side-chain is confirmed by the absorption and the solution colour during the UV irradiation. These effects are discussed by taking the trans-cis isomerization of azobenzene into consideration.     

Time-resolved studies on the photoisomerization of a phenylene-silylene-vinylene type compound in its first singlet excited state

In femtosecond laser-flash photolysis experiments, the first singlet excited state of trans-ST, ((E,E)-{1,4-bis(2-dimethylphenylsilyl)ethenyl}benzene) showed a strong S1(π,π^?)-Sn absorption band at 540 nm in acetonitrile and at 550 nm in hexane. The lifetime of this state was determined to be 13.2±2.0 and 11.1±1.5 ps, respectively. Intersystem crossing was shown not to be a principal route for the deactivation of this S1 state of trans-ST. Evidence for this conclusion involved two complementary nanosecond laser-flash photolysis experiments. In one experiment involving direct excitation, no transient absorption spectrum was detected in the 350-650 nm spectral range. Yet, in the second experiment, on triplet sensitization, using xanthone, a transient absorption at 400 nm was tentatively assigned to the triplet state absorption of trans-ST. Photoisomerization was monitored in nanosecond time-resolved bleaching experiments. From these experiments the trans-cis photoisomerization quantum yield was determined to be 0.23 on direct trans-ST excitation. In a xanthone-sensitized stationary-state excitation experiment, the trans-cis isomerization quantum yield was determined to be 0.32. The main deactivation route of trans-ST in its S1 state is repopulation of the ground state directly through internal conversion or with the intermediacy of conformers with twisted geometry.     

Theory of Direct Photoisomerization of Stilbene

A microscopic model for describing the direct trans-cis photoisomerization of stilbene is developed and an interpretation of the experimental results found from time-resolved fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy of stilbene in solution is given. According to this model the photoisomerization of trans-stilbene is proposed to involve the radiationless transition from the trans singlet state S₁(trans), prepared by direct optical excitation, into the perp singlet state S₁ (perp) and the radiationless decay of this state into the quasi-isoenergetic trans triplet state T₄ (trans).     

Fluorescence excitation spectroscopic characterisation of F2 - colour centers in a LiF crystal

LiF crystals with F₂ ^- centers contain a whole series of F-based colour centers with spectrally overlapping absorption spectra. On the short-wavelength side the absorption spectrum of the F₂ ^- centers is overlapping with the absorption spectra of other colour centers and is therefore not directly accessible by transmission measurements. Fluorescence excitation spectroscopy is employed here to gain information on the absorption spectrum of F₂ ^- centers in spectral regions where the absorption by other centers is present. The fluorescence signal emitted beyond 1200 nm is detected as a function of the excitation wavelength in the range from 350 nm to 1100 nm. The F₂ ^- center absorption cross-section spectrum in the wavelength range from 690 nm to 1100 nm and from 350 nm to 410 nm is determined from the fluorescence excitation quantum distribution and the transmission spectrum. Influences of fluorescence re-absorption and Förster-type energy transfer on the fluorescence excitation quantum distribution and the subsequent F₂ ^- center absorption cross-section determination are discussed.

Dynamics of fluorescence of solid solutions of quantum dots and the organic dye DODCI: Experiment and numerical simulation

The fluorescence of solid solutions of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and the organic dye DODCI is investigated. It is shown that nonradiative transfer of electronic excitation energy to dye molecules, which with some probability lose their acceptor properties as a result of photoisomerization or photodegradation, is responsible for a significant increase in the fluorescence intensity of a donor. The degree of polarization of the donor fluorescence attains values exceeding 0.5, which is due to the difference in the fluorescence quantum yields of donors with different orientations of the oscillator with respect to the electric vector of an excitation light wave. A numerical simulation of the experimentally observed dependences is performed.

Fluorescence of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">cis</Emphasis>-dimers of porphyrins containing ethylene bridges

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of solutions of the porphyrin dimers containing ethylene bridges, binding two Zn(II)octaethylporphyrin molecules or one Zn(II)octaethylporphyrin and one octaethylporphyrin molecule into cis conformation, were studied. For both studied cis-dimers, structureless absorption spectra were observed, only in general resembling the spectra of initial molecules, as well as weak fluorescence with a wide bell-shaped spectrum with a maximum at 680–700 nm and a quantum yield of about Φ_f≈3×10^?5, which is three orders of magnitude lower as compared to the fluorescence of initial monomeric porphyrins. A strong dependence of the fluorescence yield on a medium viscosity was revealed. In addition, low-yield irreversible cis-trans photoisomerization of cis-dimers was detected. A mechanism responsible for the strong intramolecular quenching of fluorescence of the porphyrin dimers containing ethylene bridges is suggested to be a conformation transformation in the region of the ethylene bridge, leading the molecular system to the region of “conic crossing” of the energy surfaces of excited and ground electron states.     

Quick Microwave Assisted Synthesis and <Emphasis Type="Italic">In Vitro</Emphasis> Imaging Application of Oxygen Doped Fluorescent Carbon Dots

In this paper, a fast and simplest one-pot tactic was used to synthesis fluorescent oxygen doped carbon dots from Tween-20 (TTO-CDs) is reported. The TTO-CDs were microwavically synthesized by using Tween-20 as both the carbon precursor and the oxygen dopant as well. The surface morphology, crystalline and/or amorphous nature, composition and optical assets of synthesized TTO-CDs were studied by means of existing techniques. From the results, it was confirmed that the as-synthesized TTO-CDs are amorphous in nature, monodispersed, sphere-shaped and the typical particle size range is 5?±?1.5 nm. The synthesized TTO-CDs emits strong blue fluorescence at 390 nm under excitation of 335 nm. Most interestingly, the excitation dependent emission property of synthesized TTO-CDs was exposed from fluorescence results. The synthesized TTO-CDs have quantum yield of about 14% against quinine sulfate as reference standard. The biotoxicity of synthesized TTO-CDs on HeLa cells was assessed through cytotoxicity assay. These results implied that the fluorescent TTO-CDs showed less biotoxicity, and further which was efficaciously applied as a multicolor staining and bioimaging probe for the confocal imaging of HeLa cells.

Indole photodissociation in the gas phase

Kinetic characteristics of the growth in delayed luminescence intensity of indole in the gas phase have been measured with excitation of the molecules in the spectral region 250–287 nm. The luminescence build-up kinetics show two components with characteristic lifetimes of about 1 and 10 μs that are associated with the formation of free radicals due to N–H bond dissociation. Two basic mechanisms for photodissociation of indole in the gas phase have been identified based on an analysis of the dependence of the kinetic characteristics for these components on the excitation radiation wavelength/intensity and the vapor pressures of indole and foreign gases. The fast component results from the dissociation of an N–H bond of vibrationally excited molecules in the ground state that is populated through internal conversion. The slow component is associated with the generation of free radicals because of annihilation of two triplet indole molecules. A dependence of the quantum yield of intersystem crossing on the excitation wavelength in the spectral region 260–287 nm has been found. It is shown that the fluorescence quantum yield drop with a decrease of the excitation radiation wavelength is caused by an increase in the internal conversion quantum yield to the electronic ground state.     

Optically and thermally induced molecular switching processes at metal surfaces

Using light to control the switching of functional properties of surface-bound species is an attractive strategy for the development of new technologies with possible applications in molecular electronics and functional surfaces and interfaces. Molecular switches are promising systems for such a route, since they possess the ability to undergo reversible changes between different molecular states and accordingly molecular properties by excitation with light or other external stimuli. In this review, recent experiments on photo- and thermally induced molecular switching processes at noble metal surfaces utilizing two-photon photoemission and surface vibrational spectroscopies are reported. The investigated molecular switches can either undergo a trans-cis?isomerization or a ring opening-closure reaction. Two approaches concerning the connection of the switches to the surface are applied: physisorbed switches, i.e.?molecules in direct contact with the substrate, and surface-decoupled switches incorporated in self-assembled monolayers. Elementary processes in molecular switches at surfaces, such as excitation mechanisms in photoisomerization and kinetic parameters for thermally driven reactions, which are essential for a microscopic understanding of molecular switching at surfaces, are presented. This in turn is needed for designing an appropriate adsorbate-substrate system with the desired switchable functionality controlled by external stimuli.
