Zeaxanthin is a xanthophyll pigment that plays important physiological functions both in the plant and in the animal kingdom. All-trans is a stereochemical conformation of zeaxanthin reported as specific for the thylakoid membranes of the photosynthetic apparatus and the retina of an eye. On the other hand, the pigment is subjected, in natural environment, to the conditions that promote stereochemical isomerization, such as illumination and elevated temperature. In the present work, the light-induced and heat-induced (the temperature range 35-95 degrees C) isomerization of all-trans zeaxanthin in organic solvent environment has been analyzed by means of the HPLC technique. The 13-cis conformation has been identified as a major one among the isomerization products. The activation energy of the all-trans to 13-cis isomerization has been determined as 83 +/- 4 kJ/mol and the activation energy of the back reaction as 30 +/- 7 kJ/mol. The reaction of isomerization of the all-trans zeaxanthin at 25 degrees C was substantially more efficient upon illumination. Four different wavelengths of light have been selected for photo-isomerization experiments: 450, 540, 580 and 670 nm, corresponding to the electronic transitions of zeaxanthin from the ground state to the singlet excited states: 1(1)Bu+,3(1)Ag-,1(1)Bu- and 2(1)Ag-, respectively. The quantum efficiency of the all-trans zeaxanthin isomerization induced by light at different wavelengths: 450, 540, 580 and 670 nm was found to differ considerably and was in the ratio as 1:15:160:29. The sequence of the quantum efficiency values suggests that the carotenoid triplet state 1(3)Bu, populated via the internal conversion from the 1(3)Ag triplet state which is generated by the intersystem crossing from the 1(1)Bu- state may be involved in the light-induced isomerization. A physiological importance of the isomerization of zeaxanthin in the retina of an eye, photosynthetic apparatus and of the pigment active as a blue light photoreceptor in stomata is briefly discussed. 相似文献

The isomerization of singlet, nitryl hydride (HNO2) has been studied by using ab initio method at MP2 level with 6-31G* basis set. The calculation indicates that the reaction is exothermic by 10.8kJ.mol-1, the energy barrier is 227.9kJ•mol-1, and nitryl hydride is not easily isomerized to trans-HONO. 相似文献

Steady-state fluorescence has been used to study the excited singlet state of ofloxacin (OFLX) in aqueous solutions. Fluorescence emission was found to be pH dependent, with a maximum quantum yield of 0.17 at pH 7. Two pKa*s of around 2 and 8.5 were obtained for the excited singlet state. Laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis have been used to study the excited states and free radicals of OFLX in aqueous solutions. OFLX undergoes monophotonic photoionization from the excited singlet state with a quantum yield of 0.2. The cation radical so produced absorbs maximally at 770 nm with an extinction coefficient of 5000 +/- 500 dm3 mol-1 cm-1. This is confirmed by one-electron oxidation in the pulse radiolysis experiments. The hydrated electron produced in the photoionization process reacts with ground state OFLX with a rate constant of 2.0 +/- 0.2 x 10(10) dm3 mol-1 s-1, and the anion thus produced has two absorption bands at 410 nm (extinction coefficient = 3000 +/- 300 dm3 mol-1 cm-1) and at 530 nm. Triplet-triplet absorption has a maximum at 610 nm with an extinction coefficient of 11,000 +/- 1500 dm3 mol-1 cm-1. The quantum yield of triplet formation has been determined to be 0.33 +/- 0.05. In the presence of oxygen, the triplet reacts to form both excited singlet oxygen and superoxide anion with quantum yields of 0.13 and < or = 0.2, respectively. Moreover, superoxide anion is also formed by the reaction of oxygen with the hydrated electron from photoionization. Hence the photosensitivity due to OFLX could be initiated by the oxygen radicals and/or by OFLX radicals acting as haptens. 相似文献

The photophysical properties of 1,1'-diethyl-4,4'-carbocyanine chloride (kryptocyanine) have been measured in methanol solution and for the dye bound to human serum albumin, incorporated in neutral micelles and after incubation with leukemia cells. In all cases, it is found that formation of the triplet state of the dye occurs with low efficiency and that illumination of the dye under aerobic conditions does not produce significant yields of O2(1 delta g). Instead, the only efficient photoprocess involves rapid internal conversion from the first excited singlet state to the ground state, probably via isomerization of the polymethine sequence. These findings are discussed with respect to the demonstrated ability of kryptocyanine to photodestroy leukemic cells. 相似文献

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the G2(MP2) level have been carried out on cyclopropylsilylene C3H5SiH. Four equilibrium structures were located. Like H2Si, the ground state of C3H5SiH is singlet and the triplet is the low‐lying excited state. The singlet–triplet separation energy is 127.9 kJ/mol. The cis‐trans isomerization path of singlet cyclopropylsilylene was investigated by intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculations. The calculations show that no gauche conformers exist along the potential energy curve of the cis‐trans isomerization and the isomerization happens with a barrier of 30.1 kJ/mol. Changes (ΔH and ΔG) in thermodynamic functions, equilibrium constant K(T), and A factor and reaction rate constant k(T) in Eyring transition state theory of the cis‐trans isomerization were also calculated. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Highly correlated ab initio electronic structure theory has been used to systematically investigate the linear (X 2Pi) GeGeH and H-bridged (X 2B1 and A 2A1) GeHGe structures and the isomerization transition state (A 2A') connecting X 2Pi with A 2A1. The equilibrium structures and physical properties have been predicted employing self-consistent field, configuration interaction with single and double excitations, coupled cluster with single and double excitations (CCSD), and CCSD with perturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T)]. Four correlation-consistent polarized valence-[cc-pVXZ and aug-cc-pVXZ (X=T and Q)] type basis sets were used in the study. For the H-bridged GeHGe isomer, the X 2B1 ground state is predicted to lie only 0.74 [0.95 with zero-point vibrational energy (ZPVE) corrections] kcal mol-1 below the A 2A1 excited state at the CCSD(T) level of theory with the augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence quadruple zeta (aug-cc-pVQZ) basis set. The X 2B1 state of the H-bridged GeHGe isomer lies 8.6 kcal mol-1 below the X 2Pi ground state of the linear GeGeH isomer. The forward isomerization barrier from the linear ground state to the A 2A' transition state is predicted to be 3.7 kcal mol-1. The reverse isomerization barrier between the A 2A1 GeHGe structure and the X 2Pi GeGeH structure is predicted to be 11.6 (10.8 with the ZPVE corrections) kcal mol-1 at the aug-cc-pVQZ CCSD(T) level of theory. 相似文献

Substituted naphthylacrylates, 1-3, not showing rotamerism have been synthesized with a view to study photochemical E (trans)-->Z (cis) isomerization. Photostationary state composition of the isomers upon direct excitation, triplet sensitized isomerization, quantum yield of isomerization, and steady state and time-resolved fluorescence behavior have been studied for these naphthylacrylates. The direct excitations of the compounds yield high Z (approximately 80%) isomer composition, whereas the triplet sensitization results in less Z (approximately 20%) isomer composition. This indicates that the singlet pathway is very efficient in converting the E isomer to the Z isomer. The naphthylacrylates 1 and 2 exhibit structured fluorescence at room temperature in hexane and upon changing the solvent to CH3CN; the structure of the fluorescence is lost, indicating that the singlet excited-state develops a polar character in a polar environment. The polar nature of the singlet excited state becomes more clear in the case of 3 from its fluorescence solvatochromism. The naphthylacrylates did not exhibit excitation wavelength-dependent fluorescence at room temperature suggesting that the ground state conformers (rotamers) are not involved. Fluorescence lifetimes measured for these compounds displayed biexponential behavior, which is explained using a two-state model. 相似文献

The proton transfer isomerization of pyrazole and the water assisting effect by looping 1 to 4 water molecules on the singlet state potential energy surface have been investigated by using hybrid density functional theory method (B3PW91) with a 6-311++G** basis set. Two mechanisms were proposed to explain the mono- and multi-water assisting effects, respectively. The reactants and products of all groups have been characterized on their potential energy surfaces. For the isomerization of monomolecule pyrazole, the isomerization energy barrier is 46.4 kcal·mol-1. For the monohydration assisting mechanism, the reactant complex is connected to the product complex via two saddle points. The corresponding isomerization barriers are 46.7and 23.0 kcal(mol-1, respectively. As to the multihydration assisting mechanism, the isomerization barriers are 12.0, 10.9 and 13.14 kcal(mol-1 accordingly, when the number of water molecules is 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The multihydration assisting isomerization can occur in water-dominated environments, for example, in the organism, and thereby is crucial to energy transference. The deproton and dehydrogen energies of monomolecule pyrazole and various hydrated pyrazoles were calculated and then found much bigger than the isomerization barriers of their relative complexes, suggesting the impossibility of deprotonation or dehydrogenation. The isomerization of pyrazole is a proton-coupling-electron-migration process, but two different mechanisms are noticed, viz.σ- and π-type mechanisms. The π-bond of pyrazole participates in isomerization in the π-type mechanism, whereas only σelectron takes part in isomerization in the σ-type mechanism. 相似文献

The reaction between O-. and MeO-CH2-C identical to C-CDO in the ion source of a VG ZAB 2HF mass spectrometer gives a number of product anions including [H2CCCCO]-. and [HCCCCDO]-. (in the ratio 1:5). Neutralisation-reionisation (NR+) of [H2CCCCO]-. results in the sequential two-electron vertical oxidation [H2CCCCO]-.-->H2CCCCO-->[H2CCCCO](+.). Singlet H2CCCCO lies 158 kJ mol-1 below the triplet [at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory]. The majority of neutrals H2CCCCO are stable for the microsecond duration of the NR experiment, but some are energized and decompose to give H2CCC and CO. A similar NR+ experiment with [HCCCCDO]-. yields neutrals HCCCCDO, some of which are excited and rearrange. Calculations show that it is the singlet form of HCCCCHO which rearranges (the singlet lies 36 kJ mol-1 above the ground state triplet): the rearrangement occurs by the sequential H transfer process, HCCCCHO-->HCC(CH)CO<--H2CCCCO. Neutral HCCCCHO needs an excess energy of only 43 kJ mol-1 to effect this reaction, which is exothermic by 230 kJ mol-1. Both HCC(CH)CO and H2CCCCO formed in this way should have sufficient excess energy to cause some loss of CO. The anions [CC(CH)CHO]-. and [CC(CD)CHO]-. are formed in the ion source of the mass spectrometer by the reactions of HO- with Me3SiC identical to C-CH = CHOMe and Me3SiC identical to C-CD = CHOMe respectively. NR+ of these anions indicate that energized forms of CC(CH)CHO and CC(CD)CHO may rearrange to isomer(s) which decompose by loss of CO. Singlet CC(CH)CHO rearranges to HCC(CH)CO and H2CCCCO, both of which are energized and fragment by loss of CO. 相似文献

Direct laser excitation in benzene of 1,8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone (anthralin) does not lead to transient species with lifetimes in the nanosecond time regime or longer. The triplet state has been produced in benzene by pulse radiolysis and characterised in terms of its absorption spectrum (lambda max 560 nm), natural lifetime (11 microseconds), self-quenching properties (kmicrosecond = 2.6 x 10(7) l mol-1 s-1) and triplet energy (234 kJ mol-1). There is no tendency in the non-polar medium for production of either the triplet or ground state in a tautomeric form. The observed triplet state reacts with oxygen with a typical rate constant, 2.2 x 10(9) l mol-1 s-1. The products of this reaction are singlet oxygen (approximately 64%) and the anthralin radical (approximately 14%). 相似文献

The lowest excited singlet state of naphthoylnaphthvalene (NNV) undergoes valence isomerization yielding ground-state naphthoylnaphthalene
(NN) finally. Neither the lowest excited singlet nor triplet state of NN is formed upon excitation of NNV, and of particular
interest in photoinduced NNV→NNV valence isomerization is the existence of an intermediate which is probably either a bond-cloven
species or a valence isomer of NNV. The lowest excited triplet state of NNV populated in benzene deactivates to its ground
state, but that populated in ethanol abstracts a hydrogen atom from the solvent molecule generating the NNV ketyl radical.
Interestingly, this radical also undergoes rapid valence isomerization and recombination of two NN ketyl radicals thus formed
yields naphthopinacol. Synthesis of poly-tert-butylpolyacenes, tri-tert-butylisobenzofuran and tri-tert-butylpolyacenequinones,
and furthermore, their photoinduced valence isomerization yielding the valene-type isomers as well as related photochromism
and photo-electro dualchromism are presented. 相似文献

The fluorescence spectra of Merocyanine 540 (MC 540), an anionic dye have been studied in aqueous solution of different nonionic surfactants. The results show the enhancement and red shift of fluorescence bands, indicating electron transfer from the surfactants to the excited dye. This is also supported by the photovoltage generation by the dye-surfactant systems in a photoelectrochemical cell. Possible mechanisms of the excited state interaction and photovoltage generation have been suggested. From the thermodynamic, spectrophotometric and photogalvanic results, it can be concluded that the electron donating abilities of the nonionic surfactants towards MC 540 are in the order: Tween 80 approximately Tween 60>Tween 40>Tween 20>Triton X-100. The spectral studies (both absorption and fluorescence) of Merocyanine 540 have been carried out in solvents of varying polarities as well as in an aqueous micellar dispersions of nonionic surfactants. The Stokes shifts of the fluorescence from the absorption have been found to increase with increasing polarity of the solvents. An attempt has been made to ascertain the polarity of the microenvironment of Merocyanine 540 in the nonionic surfactant media from the photophysical characteristics of the dye in different solvents of known polarities. 相似文献

Photochemical decomposition of 3,3-dimethyldiazirine (DMD) has been computationally investigated by using high-level ab initio calculations in conjunction with the 6-31G and cc-pvdz basis sets. The geometries of minima and transition states, as well as conical intersection points in the seam of crossing of two surfaces, have been optimized with the complete active space self-consistent field (CAS-SCF) method, and their energies, recalculated with second-order multireference perturbation (CAS/MP2) theory. The reaction path starting at the excited n-pi state of DMD is predicted to occur via a nonadiabatic mechanism, giving carbene and molecular dinitrogen (both in their singlet ground states) as the main products; the computed barrier height (1.0 kcal mol(-)(1)) agrees well with the experimental estimate of the activation energy in the singlet excited state (0.0-1.5 kcal mol(-)(1)). Ground state of dimethylcarbene is the only species where a 1,2-hydrogen shift takes place, being the only source of propene. The calculated potential energy barrier height for dimethylcarbene to propene isomerization (2.6 kcal mol(-)(1)) agrees well with the observed activation energy (2.56 kcal mol(-)(1)). No evidence for rearrangement in the first singlet excited state of DMD has been found; such a process would lead to a higher activation energy than the observed one. Consequently, 1,2-hydrogen migration concurrent with N(2) extrusion in the excited state has been ruled out. 相似文献

Eight differently substituted title dye compounds have been investigated regarding intersystem crossing, triplet state, fluorescence and singlet excited state pKa properties. In general, non-halogenated oxazines and thiazines as well as a mono bromooxazine show very low triplet quantum yields, phi tau (less than 0.03) and relatively long triplet lifetimes (approximately 40 microseconds) in acidic methanol. The phi tau data correlate well with known singlet oxygen yields. In basic methanol no triplet transient is observed but a significant yield of a ground state transient protonated (base dye) form is produced with a short lifetime, approximately 400 ns. Fluorescence can be seen simultaneously from both the excited base and the protonated base dye forms in basic methanol. For iodinated oxazine or thiazines, the triplet yield increases and can be as high as 0.5 (diiodo case) in acidic methanol. The triplet lifetimes are further shortened to approximately 10 microseconds compared to the non-iodinated derivatives above. The triplet yields of the iodo compounds are higher or equal to known singlet oxygen yields. In basic methanol triplet yields up to 0.2 can be seen, the triplet lifetime are shortened still further to 1 microsecond but no observable protonated form is produced (in distinction to the non-iodinated cases). Consideration is given to the correlation of triplet and singlet oxygen yields, ground and excited pKa properties, spin-orbit coupling and internal conversion properties, solvent effects, and phototherapeutic activity of these dyes. 相似文献

Abstract—
The reactions of the excited states of safranine T with aliphatic amines have been studied in methanol and acetonitrile. Quenching of the singlet and triplet states occurs by different mechanisms. Whereas the former excited state is quenched by a charge-transfer mechanism, the triplet state is quenched through proton transfer from the excited dye to the amine. This process leads to the unprotonated form of the dye in the triplet state, which is later quenched by amines to form the corresponding semireduced species. The monoprotonated triplet also undergoes self-quenching in both solvents (k = 1.2 × 108 M -1 s-1 ). 相似文献
