分子离子NO+激发态的势能函数

100公里以上的大气分子离子主要为NO~+。它的辐射特点及它与电子、原子或分子的相互作用,对于理解大气的化学过程具有特别重要的意义。为了研究这些过程,确定NO~+分子离子基态及其各个激发态的分子势能函数是非常重要的。精确的X~1Σ~+,A~1Ⅱ和a~3∑~+势能曲线已发表;基于光电子谱的研究发现了NO~+的其它激发态,但对于这些激发态的研究尤其是势能函数的研究不多。本文研究并导出NO~+的基态和10个激发态的势能函数。     

TRIPLET EXCITED STATE OF FUROCOUMARINS: REACTION WITH NUCLEIC ACID BASES AND AMINO ACIDS

Abstract. The triplet-triplet absorption spectra of psoralen, xanthotoxin, angelicin and bergapten have been determined using the technique of pulse radiolysis and laser flash photolysis in benzene and water. The extinction coefficients of the triplet transitions have been measured and used to determine the singlet → triplet intersystem crossing quantum yields for 353 nm excitation. These yields vary considerably in passing from benzene to water as solvent. The highest yields were obtained for psoralen and angelicin in water, being 0.45 and 0.33, respectively. Reaction rate constants of the psoralen and angelicin triplets with various pyrimidine and purine nucleic acid bases and amino acids have been measured. The high reactivities support the suggestion that the photosensitising properties of furocou-marins are mediated by the corresponding furocoumarin triplet states. The similarly high S → T quantum yields, and triplet reactivities with pyrimidines of psoralen and angelicin, also support the suggestion that the observed differences in photosensitising properties of these two psoralens may be due to their differing geometries, which allow psoralen itself to intercalate DNA more easily than angelicin. The efficient reactions also found for psoralen and angelicin triplets with amino acids suggest that such triplets in vivo may also react with these components. Significant damage may thus be caused to protein as well as nucleic acid components of the cell.     

PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF CONJUGATED POLYACETYLENES: [2+2] PHOTOCYCLOADDITION OF l-PHENYL-l,3,5-HEXATRIYNES WITH SOME OLEFINS

Abstract— Irradiation of 1-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriynes with various olefins in methylene chloride yields [2 + 2] type 1:1 photoadducts. The photoreaction proceeds through a triplet excited state and shows site selectivity and regioselectivity. Olefins with electron-withdrawing substituents, such as dimethyl fumarate, fumaronitrile, acrylonitrile, methyl acrylatc, and styrene, are more reactive than electron-rich olefins, suggesting that the triplet excited states of 1-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriynes have a nucleophilic radical character.

LUMINESCENCE SPECTRA AND PHOTOCYCLOADDITION OF THE EXCITED COUMARINS TO DNA BASES

Abstract— The lowest excited singlet and triplet states of coumarin, psoralen, and 4-hydroxy-coumarin have been assigned to the (π,π * ) type on the basis of the luminescence spectroscopy and MO calculations. The mechanism of photocycloaddition of courmarin and psoralen to thymine has been described in terms of the perturbational MO model and MO reactivity indices. All possible cycloaddition patterns have been examined. Results suggest that the 3,4-bond of coumarin in the excited state is somewhat more reactive than the same bond of psoralen in the excited state. It is also predicted that the 3,4-bond of psoralen in the triplet state is more reactive than the 4', 5'-bond. The results have been favorably correlated with the electronic characteristics of excited coumarin molecules and with available experimental data on the relative yields of photoadducts.     

THE INTERACTION OF THE EXCITED STATES OF SAFRANINE T WITH ALIPHATIC AMINES IN ORGANIC SOLVENTS

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).

PRODUCTS AND RELATIVE REACTION RATES OF THE OXIDATION OF TOCOPHEROLS WITH SINGLET MOLECULAR OXYGEN

Abstract— The relative reactivity of singlet molecular oxygen, 0₂(¹Δ_g), α-,β-,Γ-and δ with -tocopherol (vitamin E) was investigated using microwave discharge generation as a uniquely clean source of singlet oxygen and using a hydrocarbon solvent to approximate the membrane environment. The relative efficiencies of the tocopherols for O₂(¹Δg) were found to decrease in the order: D-α-tocopherol > D-β-tocopheroI > D–Γ-tocopherol > D-δ-tocopherol. The reaction products in all cases were found to be mixtures of quinone and quinone epoxides apparently resulting from decomposition of the primary product, the hydroperoxydienone.     

CHARACTERIZATION OF PHOTOCYCLOADDITION PRODUCTS FROM REACTION BETWEEN THYMIDINE and THE MONOFUNCTIONAL 3-CARBETHOXYPSORALEN

The photochemical reaction of 3-carbethoxypsoralen. a monofunctional furocoumarin. with thymidine was investigated as a model system for its photoaddition to DNA. Near UV irradiation (320 nm > λ > 400 nm) of a mixture of thymidine and 3-carbethoxypsoralen as a dry film gave rise to two main nucleoside diastereoisomers which were isolated by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The structure of these products was assigned on the basis of UV absorption, fluorescence.'H-NMR and plasma desorption mass spectra analysis. The results are consistent with 1:1 C, cycloadducts involving the 5,6 double bond of thymine and the 4', 5'double bond of 3-carbethoxypsoralen. These two cycloadducts of cis-syn stereoconfiguration show opposite circular dichroism suggesting a diastereoisomeric relationship.     

SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EXCITED STATES OF THE PRODUCT OF THE CHEMILUMINESCENCE OF LUMINOL*

Abstract— In dimethylsulfoxide the emission spectrum of luminol chemiluminescence is red-shifted by 300 cm^-1 from the photoexcited fluorescence of the product 3-aminophthalate dianion, while in aqueous solvent the two spectra are identical. The spectral properties of the product dianion have been measured in aqueous solvent and in a number of aprotic solvents, both at room temperature and at 77°K. The ground states and the excited states from which emissions are observed are characterized. Two alternatives are presented to explain the aprotic emission spectra.     

DETECTION OF PORPHYRIN EXCITED STATES IN THE INTACT BOVINE LENS

Previous steady state and time resolved spectroscopic studies on porphyrins have shown that the triplet lifetimes of those sensitizers that bind to lens proteins are lengthened by several orders of magnitude. Presented here is an extension of this experiment to measure these transients in an intact bovine lens. As demonstrated by steady state fluorescence spectroscopy and flash photolysis, mesotetra (p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) binds to lens proteins. In air-saturated aqueous solution, TPPS has a triplet lifetime of 2 microseconds. In an intact bovine lens the triplet state decayed via biexponential kinetics with lifetimes of 0.16 and 1.6 microseconds. In addition to a lengthening of the lifetime there was a red shift in the triplet transient spectra of 10-20 nm of the porphyrin in the intact lenses.     

THE TRIPLET EXCITED STATES OF BILIVERDIN AND BILIVERDIN DIMETHYL ESTER

Abstract— The triplet states of biliverdin and biliverdin dimethyl ester have been generated using pulse radiolysis excitation. Biliverdin triplet was formed by energy transfer from biphenyl triplet in acetone, absorbed throughout the wavelength range studied (380–1000 nm) and had a half-life of 11.7μs under the cpnditions chosen. Biliverdin dimethyl ester triplet was formed by energy transfer from biphenyl triplet in benzene, likewise absorbed throughout the wavelength range studied (360–1000 nm) and had a half-life of 6.7μs under the conditions used. Both biliverdin and biliverdin dimethyl ester efficiently quench anthracene, naphthacene, but not μ-carotene, triplet states. On the other hand. neither μ-carotene nor oxygen were found to quench the triplet states of biliverdin or biliverdin dimethyl ester. Estimates or limits for the rate constants of all these quenching reactions were obtained. These reactivities suggest that the triplet levels of both biliverdin and biliverdin dimethyl ester lie around 90 kJ mol^-1. The triplet energy transfer rate from bilirubin to biliverdin dimethyl ester in benzene was measured to be 1.9 × 10⁹ M^-1 s^-1. The singlet-triplet intersystem crossing efficiencies of both molecules were very low, limits of 0.004 and 0.001 being found for biliverdin and biliverdin dimethyl ester, respectively, using 347 nm laser excitation.     

THE EFFECT OF MERCURIC IONS ON THE EXCITED STATES OF DNA-INTERCALATED ETHIDIUM BROMIDE

The first excited triplet state of DNA-intercalated ethidium bromide is produced with a quantum yield of 0.010.002 on irradiation at 532 nm. A difference extinction coefficient of 1.50.210³ m² mol^?1 is measured for the triplet state at 380 nm. Mercuric ions quench the first excited singlet state of DNA-intercalated ethidium bromide via induced spin orbit coupling to give an increased yield of ethidium triplet states. The same mercuric ion that quenches the singlet state then quenches the triplet state, via the same mechanism, with a rate constant of ca 3.510³ s^?1. An upper limit for the rate of detachment of Hg²⁺ from its binding site in DNA may be fixed at ca 10³ s^?1.     

PROTOLYTIC EQUILIBRIA IN THE LOWEST EXCITED SINGLET STATES OF 2-HYDROXYQUINOLINE AND 4-HYDROXYQUINOLINE

Abstract— Fluorescence spectra of 2- and 4-hydroxyquinoline in a variety of solvents indicate that the lactam-lactim tautomerism favoring the lactam structure in the ground state also favor the lactam structure in the lowest excited singlet state. Fluorimetric titrations show that the cations of both isomers become slightly more acidic in the lowest excited singlet state and that the anion of the 2 isomer becomes slightly more basic in the excited state. The excited anion of the 4 isomer is either identical in basicity to the ground state anion or does not equilibrate with the quinolone during the lifetime of the excited state. The Forster cycle is found to give a pK _α * values in generally poor agreement with those obtained from fluorimetric titrations. The reasons for this are discussed.     

EXCITED STATES OF ANTHOCYANINS: THE CHALCONE ISOMERS OF MALVIDIN 3,5-DIGLUCOSIDE

Abstract The excited state properties of the chalcone isomers of malvidin 3,5-diglucoside (malvin) in acidic aqueous solution (0 < pH < 4) were investigated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The two chalcone isomers of malvin were first isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and then characterized by UV/visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results were supported by molecular orbital calculations. The rate constants for photodeprotonation ( k ₁= 1 × 10⁹ s^−l) and protonation ( k ₋₁= 1.3 × 10¹⁰ L mol⁻¹ s^−l) were determined, both from the multiexponential fluorescence decays and the fluorescence intensities measured at the emission wavelengths of the neutral and ionized chalcone forms. The results here obtained are relevant for the understanding of the photoreactivity of anthocyanins in acidic medium.
