非对称双极性(D-π-A)吡啶Salophen席夫碱锌/镍配合物的合成、表征、线性及非线性光学性质研究

通过Still偶联反应合成了吡啶取代的香草醛(1a和1b)。以过渡金属离子(Zn²⁺和Ni²⁺)作为模板,以单亚胺席夫碱2和吡啶基香草醛为原料合成和表征了新的非对称双极性(D-π-A)Salophen金属配合物(3a、3b和3c)。测定了这些金属配合物的线性和三阶非线性光学(双光子吸收,TPA)性质。双极性的Salophen金属配合物的发射光谱在可见光范围内(486~516nm),荧光寿命4.51ns~5.18ns,荧光量子产率在4.3%~5.3%之间。衰减时间测试表明,荧光寿命是在纳秒级范围,这表明该发射来自单线态。对这些化合物进行了热重分析,结果表明3a、3b和3c都是热稳定的,起始分解温度(T_d)为333~374℃。使用开孔Z-扫描方法在800nm处用100fs脉冲的激光对这些双极性的Salophen金属配合物的TPA截面σ⁽²⁾进行了测试,最高可达1403GM,其值为目前已知席夫碱金属配合物较高值之一。测试表明,锌的Salophen金属配合物具有良好的荧光量子产率、巨大的TPA截面σ⁽²⁾、很高的热稳定性以及锌配合物公认的低毒性。因这些配合物可以被近红外或红外波长的光激发,这种光可以有效地穿透生物组织同时减轻细胞损伤,所以Salophen锌配合物作为双光子荧光发色团在生物体成像中有潜在的应用。

用高温熔融法制备了掺杂Sm₂O₃的CaO-CaF₂-B₂O₃-SiO₂(CFBS:Sm)发光玻璃材料, 并借助X射线衍射(XRD)谱、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱以及光致发光(PL)光谱等分析手段研究了玻璃基体中CaF₂的摩尔分数及其结构、红外透过性能以及荧光性能的关系. XRD和FTIR测试表明, 玻璃基体中引入CaF₂并未引起非晶结构的变化但其红外透过峰发生移动. 光谱学测试表明, CFBS:Sm发光玻璃在404 nm波长激发下出现对应于Sm³⁺离子位于566、603和650 nm的特征荧光峰, 其发光颜色为橙红色(x=0.531, y=0.371). 此外, 随着玻璃基体中CaF₂摩尔分数的增加, CFBS:Sm发光玻璃的荧光发射强度、荧光寿命(Sm³⁺的⁴G_5/2能级)和荧光量子效率也表现出增大的趋势. 这种CFBS:Sm发光玻璃中荧光发射强度和荧光寿命的提高主要是由于玻璃基体中的CaF₂替代CaO引起基体相互作用和声子能量降低、无辐射跃迁减弱造成的.

Dendrimers with a Pentaphenylene Core: A Photophysical Study

Novel dendrimers G2PC and G4PC consisting of a p‐pentaphenylene core ( PC ) appended in the para position with two second‐generation ( G2 ) or two fourth‐generation ( G4 ) sulfonimide branches and two n‐octyl chains, as well as a model compound of the pentaphenylene core ( G0PC ), are prepared. The photophysical properties (absorption, emission, and excitation spectra; fluorescence decay lifetime; and fluorescence anisotropy spectra) of the three compounds are investigated under different experimental conditions (dichloromethane solution and solid state at 293 K, dichloromethane/methanol rigid matrix at 77 K). In the absorption spectra contributions from both the branches and the core can be clearly identified. The fluorescence spectra show only the characteristic fluorescence of the pentaphenylene unit with λ_max around 410 nm in fluid solution and 420 nm in the solid state. In solution the fluorescence quantum yields are 0.78, 0.76, and 0.72 for G0PC , G2PC , and G4PC , respectively, and the fluorescence lifetime is about 0.7 ns in all cases. Energy transfer from the chromophoric groups of the dendrimer branches to the core does not occur. The three compounds show the same, high steady‐state anisotropy value (0.35) in dilute rigid‐matrix solution at 77 K. In dichloromethane at 293 K, the increasing anisotropy values along the series G0PC (0.17), G2PC (0.27), and G4PC (0.32), with increasing molecular volume of the three compounds, show that depolarization takes place by molecular rotation. In the solid state the anisotropy is very low (0.015, 0.017, and 0.035 for G0PC , G2PC , and G4PC , respectively), probably because of fast depolarization via energy migration.     

FLUORESCENCE OF TRYPTOPHAN IN KERATIN

The excitation and emission spectra have been determined for the fluorescence from trypto-phan residues in dry keratin. The fluorescence decay was also measured and shown to be a single exponential with a rather long lifetime of 6.9 ns. It is suggested that the emission takes place from a state formed by interaction between the ¹L_a state of the tryptophan residues and neighbouring polar or polarizable groups in the protein. The fluorescence excitation spectrum displays a peak at 290 nm, and its appearance at this position rather than at 280 nm, which is the absorption maximum of tryptophan, is believed to arise from inner filtering by the tyrosine residues in keratin.     

Fluorescence properties of fluoranthene as a function of temperature and environment

The fluoranthene fluorescence properties were investigated in a variety of environments, i.e. in different solvents and temperatures, in the solid state, and in the vapor phase. The emission maximum was found to be independent of environment. The absorption spectrum in different solvents exhibits only minor changes. In solution, the fluorescence lifetime shows a slight inverse relationship to the solvent dielectric constant. With water/methanol mixtures of varying composition as the solvent, the lifetime decreases linearly with increasing mole fraction of water. At 77K, the fluoranthene fluorescence lifetime in frozen polar and nonpolar solvents are the same within experimental error. In hexane the fluorescence lifetime is independent of temperature (77±3 and 82±7 ns, at room temperature and 77 K, respectively). In methanol the lifetime is 64±3 ns at room temperature and increases linearly to 80±4 ns at 77 K. In the vapor phase the lifetime is 32±1 ns. No fluorescence quantum yield change was observed for either S₁ or S₂ manifold excitation.     

A blue-green-emitting 3D supramolecular compound: synthesis,crystal structure and effect of solvents and temperature on the luminescent properties

A blue-green-emitting three-dimensional supramolecular compound (C₁₀O₂N₂H₈)(C₉O₇H₆) (1) was synthesised under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterised by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, ¹H NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to triclinic system with P 1¯ space group. The crystal structure is stabilised by O–H…O, O–H…N hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions (π–π stacking distance is 3.282 Å). Compound 1 exhibits intense green luminescence in solid state at 298 K (λ_em = 546 nm). In addition, absorption and fluorescence characteristics of compound 1 have been investigated in different solvents (DMSO, CH₃CN and CH₃OH). The results show that compound 1 exhibits a large red shift in both absorption and emission spectra as solvent polarity increases (polarity: DMSO>CH₃CN>CH₃OH), indicating a change in dipole moment of compound 1 upon excitation. Although the emission spectra of compound 1 in CH₃OH are close to it in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), it is revealed that the luminescence behaviour of compound 1 depends not only on the polarity of environment but also on the hydrogen bonding properties of the solvent. Meanwhile, temperature strongly affects the emission spectra of compound 1. Emission peaks of compound 1 were blue shift at 77 K than those at 298 K in both solid state (ca. 142 nm) and solution (ca. 6–23 nm), which was due to the non-radiative transition decreases at low temperature. Moreover, the quantum yield and fluorescence lifetime of compound 1 were also measured, which increased with increasing polarity of solvent, lifetime in DMSO at 298 K (τ₁ = 0.92 μs, τ₂ = 8.71 μs) was the longest one in solvents (298 K: τ₁ = 0.87–0.92 μs, τ₂ = 7.50–8.71 μs; 77 K: τ₁ = 0.72–0.90 μs, τ₂ = 6.88–7.45 μs), which was also shorter than that in solid state (298 K: τ₁ = 1.13 μs, τ₂ = 7.50 μs; 77 K: τ₁ = 0.97 μs, τ₂ = 8.97 μs). This was probably because of the weak polarity environment of compound 1 in solid state.     

Carotenohematoporphyrins as Tumor-Imaging Dyes. Synthesis and In Vitro Photophysical Characterization*

Multichromophoric dyes for use in tumor imaging have been synthesized and photophysically characterized. Structurally, these dyes are dyads and triads that consist of one or two carotenoid polyenes covalently attached to hematoporphyrin (HP) or hematoporphyrin dimethyl ester (HPDME) moieties via ester linkages. The ground-state absorption of each compound shows that the electronic interaction between the chromophores is small. The fluorescence quantum yield for the dyad monocar-oteno- HPDME is 0.033 and the dicaroteno-HPDME triads have yields between 0.016 and 0.007, all of which are reduced with respect to the parent compound HPDME (0.09). Global analysis of the transient fluorescence decays of the dyads and triads requires two exponential components (?5–6ns and ?1–2ns) to fit the data, while a single exponential component with a lifetime of 9.3 ns describes the decay data of the parent HPDME. Possible mechanisms for the observed porphyrin fluorescence quenching by the nearby carotenoid are discussed. Nanosecond transient absorption reveals a carotene triplet with maximum absorption at 560 nm and a 5.0 μs lifetime. No transient was detected at 450 nm, indicating rapid (10 ns) triplet energy transfer from the hematoporphyrin to the carotenoid moieties in fluid as well as in rigid media. The yield of triplet energy transfer from the porphyrin to the carotenoid moiety is unity. Singlet oxygen, O₂(¹δ_g), studies support the transient absorption data, as none of these compounds is capable of sensitizing O₂(¹δ_g). Liposome vesicles were used to study the photophysical characteristics of the dyes in phospholipid membranes. Singlet oxygen was not sensitized by the dyads and triads in liposomes. Transient absorption measurements suggest that the triads are substantially aggregated within the phospholipid bilayer, whereas aggregation in the dyads is less severe.     

Identification of a Fluorescent Protein from Rhacostoma Atlantica

We have cloned a novel fluorescent protein from the jellyfish Rhacostoma atlantica. The closest known related fluorescent protein is the Phialidium yellow fluorescent protein, with only a 55% amino acid sequence identity. A somewhat unusual alanine–tyrosine–glycine amino acid sequence forms the presumed chromophore of the novel protein. The protein has an absorption peak at 466 nm and a fluorescence emission peak at 498 nm. The fluorescence quantum yield was measured to be 0.77 and the extinction coefficient is 58 200 M^?1 cm^?1. Several mutations were identified that shift the absorption peak to about 494 nm and the emission peak to between 512 and 514 nm.     

Fluorescence Labeling and Determination of Pepsin with CdSe Quantum Dots

Based on the solid phase/liquid deposition CdSe quantum dots (QD) were synthesized using selenium and cadmium‐salt as precursor at room temperature. The average diameter of CdSe QD estimated from the high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) graph and absorption spectra was ca. 3–3.5 nm. The mercaptoacetic‐acid stabilized CdSe QD exhibited ultraviolet absorption at 350 and 380 nm and strong fluorescence emission at 481.6 nm, respectively. When conjugated with pepsin, the fluorescence peak intensity of CdSe QD decreased considerably and the fluorescence peak shifted to 467.2 nm. Under optimal conditions, a concentration in 5–50 mg· L^?1 of pepsin could be determined on the basis of fluorescence decrease ratio of CdSe QD, with a detection limit 3δ of 0.36 mg·L^?1 (n=10). The proposed method was applied to detection of the concentration of pepsin in human gastric juice.     

PHOTOPHYSICAL AND PHOTOSENSITIZING PROPERTIES OF BENZOPORPHYRIN DERIVATIVE MONOACID RING A (BPD-MA)*

The photophysical properties of benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid ring A (BPD-MA), a second-generation photosensitizer currently in phase II clinical trials, were investigated in homogeneous solution. Absorption, fluorescence, triplet-state, singlet oxygen (O₂(¹Δ_g)) sensitization studies and photobleaching experiments are reported. The ground state of this chlorin-type molecule shows a strong absorbance in the red (λ≈ 688 nm, ?≈ 33 000 M^?1 cm^?1 in organic solvents). For the singlet excited state the following data were determined in methanol: energy level, E_s= 42.1 kcal mol^?1, lifetime, Φ_f= 5.2 ns and fluorescence quantum yield, Φ_f= 0.05 in air-saturated solution. The triplet state of BPD-MA has a lifetime, τ_f >. 25 ns, an energy level, E_T= 26.9 kcal mol^?1 and the molar absorption coefficient is ?_T= 26 650 M^?1 cm^?1 at 720 nm. A dramatic effect of oxygen on the fluorescence (φ_f) and intersystem crossing (φ_T) quantum yields has been observed. The BPD-MA presents rather high triplet (φ_T= 0.68 under N₂-saturated conditions) and singlet oxygen (φ_Δ= 0.78) quantum yields. On the other hand, the presence of oxygen does not significantly modify the photobleaching of this photostable compound, the photodegradation quantum yield (φ_Pb) of which was found to be on the order of 5 × 10^?5 in organic solvents.
