Emission of light by matter can occur through a variety of mechanisms. When it results from an electronically excited state of a species produced by a chemical reaction, it is called chemiluminescence (CL). The phenomenon can take place both in natural and artificial chemical systems and it has been utilized in a variety of applications. In this review, we aim to revisit some of the latest CL applications based on direct and indirect production modes. The characteristics of the chemical reactions and the underpinning CL mechanisms are thoroughly discussed in view of studies from the very recent bibliography. Different methodologies aiming at higher CL efficiencies are summarized and presented in detail, including CL type and scaffolds used in each study. The CL role in the development of efficient therapeutic platforms is also discussed in relation to the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and singlet oxygen (1O2) produced, as final products. Moreover, recent research results from our team are included regarding the behavior of commonly used photosensitizers upon chemical activation under CL conditions. The CL prospects in imaging, biomimetic organic and radical chemistry, and therapeutics are critically presented in respect to the persisting challenges and limitations of the existing strategies to date. 相似文献
The title compound, [Ru2(C2H3O2)4(C15H16N2O2)2], lies on a crystallographic inversion center and exhibits an Ru—Ru bond length of 2.2847 (8) Å. There are weak intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the N1,N2‐di‐p‐anisylformamidine (HDAniF) ligands and the bridging acetate ligands. The molecule is one of the few examples of a crystallographically characterized axial bis‐adduct of a {Ru2}4+ complex with two N‐donor ligands. 相似文献
Radically different : Contrary to previous proposals, the main reaction of the HO. radical with guanosine or 2′‐deoxyguanosine is the hydrogen abstraction from the NH2 moiety to give a guanyl radical. This radical, characterized by a broad band in the visible region (around 610 nm), undergoes tautomerization to the most stable isomer.
Poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) hydrogel forms complexes with terpyridine and various trivalent ions, like Eu(3+), Tb(3+), Gd(3+), and In(3+). The hydrogel can be obtained in three different phases: swollen with water, lyophilized (i.e., dried by freeze-drying), where it loses the solvent but preserves the swollen configuration, and dried in the air where it shrinks. The three hydrogel phases affect the type of complex formed between terpyridine and the metal ion. Thus, in the swollen and lyophilized phases, metal-centered emission can be obtained by energy transfer from the excited ligand. In the shrunk phase, an intense green fluorescence is emitted, which is ligand-centered and is independent of the complexed ion. In the absence of any ion, the ligand emits blue luminescence, independently of the hydrogel phase. In the presence of europium(III) ions, blue, green, or red emission can be thus produced at appropriate compositions and hydrogel phases. Analysis of the photophysical behavior of the polymer-ligand-metal ion complex is related with the photophysical behavior of the ligand and its complexes in various pure solvents. 相似文献
A circular restricted three-body problem describes the motion of a test particle around two massive bodies in circular orbits. In this system, orbital decay caused by a gravitational radiation reaction between the two primary bodies is considered but the direct effect of gravitational radiation on the test particle is neglected. We adopt distance- and time-scale transformations to Newtonian problems so that systems without orbital decay will not depend on separation between the primaries but systems with orbital decay will depend on this separation. If a regular or chaotic orbit is given in a Newtonian system, the starting separation of the primaries varies according to the corresponding decay system. Thus, insights into the chaotic behaviour of a third body in a decay case are provided. For a large initial separation between the primaries, the chaos that exists in a Newtonian problem may be retained for a long enough time scale of dissipative evolution before the primaries coalesce. The final state of a third body is escape attributed to orbital decay. 相似文献
We give necessary and sufficient conditions under which an HNN-extension with abelian base group or an amalgamated free product
of abelian groups is a Howson group (that is the intersection of any two finitely generated subgroups is finitely generated).
We describe HNN-extensions and amalgamated free products which are Howson groups without satisfying the Burns–Cohen statements. 相似文献
We present a new method for solving the master equation for a system evolving on a spatially periodic network of states. The network contains 2(ν) images of a "unit cell" of n states, arranged along one direction with periodic boundary conditions at the ends. We analyze the structure of the symmetrized (2(ν)n) × (2(ν)n) rate constant matrix for this system and derive a recursive scheme for determining its eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and therefore analytically expressing the time-dependent probabilities of all states in the network, based on diagonalizations of n × n matrices formed by consideration of a single unit cell. We apply our new method to the problem of low-temperature, low-occupancy diffusion of xenon in the zeolite silicalite-1 using the states, interstate transitions, and transition state theory-based rate constants previously derived by June et al. [J. Phys. Chem. 95, 8866 (1991)]. The new method yields a diffusion tensor for this system which differs by less than 3% from the values derived previously via kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations and confirmed by new KMC simulations conducted in the present work. The computational requirements of the new method are compared against those of KMC, numerical solution of the master equation by the Euler method, and direct molecular dynamics. In the problem of diffusion of xenon in silicalite-1, the new method is shown to be faster than these alternative methods by factors of about 3.177 × 10(4), 4.237 × 10(3), and 1.75 × 10(7), respectively. The computational savings and ease of setting up calculations afforded by the new method of master equation solution by recursive reduction of dimensionality in diagonalizing the rate constant matrix make it attractive as a means of predicting long-time dynamical phenomena in spatially periodic systems from atomic-level information. 相似文献
Photodegradable polymers constitute an emerging class of materials that finds numerous applications in biotechnology, biomedicine, and nanoscience. This article highlights some of the emerging applications of photodegradable polymers in the form of homopolymers, particles and self‐assembled constructs in solution, hydrogels for tissue engineering, and photolabile polymers for biopatterning applications. Novel photochemistries have been combined with controlled polymerization methods, which result in well‐defined photodegradable materials that exhibit light mediated and often controlled fragmentation processes. 相似文献
