On the Landau-Teller approximation for energy exchanges with fast degrees of freedom

We revisit the Landau-Teller heuristic approach to adiabatic invariants and, following Rapp, use it to investigate the energy exchanges between the different degrees of freedom, in simple Hamiltonian systems describing the collision of fast rotating or vibrating molecules with a fixed wall. We critically compare the theoretical results with particularly accurate numerical computations (quite small energy exchanges, namely of one part over 10³⁰, are measured).     

气相二茂铁双电荷离子的动能谱研究

The unimolecular charge separation reactions of the doubly charged ions FeC_(10)H_(10)~(2+)、FeC_(10)H_9~(2+)、FeC_(10)H_8~(2+) produced in the ion source by electron impact from ferrocene have been studied using Mass analyzed Ion Kinetic Energy Spectrometry (MIKES) technique. From the values of the kinetic energy releases (T), the intercharge distances (R) of the exploding doubly charged ions in their transition structures have been estimated and some structural informations about the transition states can be obtained. The collision induced reactions of the FeC_(10)H_(10)~(2+) ion with Ar have been studied using MIKES, we postulate a new type of continuing reaction which may be "collisional charge separation induced dissociation".

Interaction of the excited singlet state of 1,4- and 1,8-dimethoxynaphthalene with some organic compounds: A fluorescence-quenching study

Summary The fluoroescence quenching of 1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene (1) and 1,8-dimethoxynaphthalene (2) by tetraphenylporpyrin (3), 9,10-diphenylanthracene (4), and 3-cyano-4-phenyl-6-(p-tolyl)-pyridin-2-one (5) has been studied in chloroform solution. The quenching occursvia a resonance energy transfer mechanism. The rate constant for the energy transfer (k _ET) of donor2 is slower than that of1 by the same acceptors, indicating that the steric effect dominates the ionization potential effect in all systems. The calculated critical transfer distances (R ₀) are 17–72 Å. In contrast, charge transfer is the predominant pathway of electronic deexcitation in the fluorescence quenching of donors1 and2 by 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinone-dimethane (6) in chloroform. The roles of temperature and geometrical structure of the donors on the efficiency of fluorescence quenching of1 and2 by acceptor6 have also been studied.

Wechselwirkung des angeregten Singlett-Zustands von 1,4- und 1,8-Dimethoxynaphthalin mit einigen organischen Verbindungen: eine Untersuchung zur Fluoreszenzlöschung

Zusammenfassung Die Löschung der Fluoreszenz von 1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalin (1) und 1,8-Dimethoxynaphthalin (2) durch Tetraphenylporphyrin (3), 9,10-Diphenylanthracen (4) und 3-Cyano-4-phenyl-6-(p-tolyl)-pyridin-2-on (5) in Chloroform wurde untersucht. Die Löschung verläuft über einen Resonanzenergietransfermechanismus. Die Geschwindigkeitskonstante für den Energietransfer (k _ET) ist bei gleichem Akzeptor für den Donor2 niedriger als für1. Daraus läßt sich schließen, daß in allen untersuchten Systemen der sterische Effekt über den Effekt des Ionisierungspotentials dominiert. Die berechneten kritischen Transferdistanzen betragen 17–72 Å. Im Gegensatz zu diesen Beobachtungen verläuft der vorherrschende Relaxationsmechanismus bei der Fluoreszenzlöschung von1 und2 durch 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanochinon-dimethan (6) über einencharge-transfer-Prozeß. Die Einflüsse von Temperatur und Geometrie der Verbindungen auf die Effizienz der Fluoreszenzlöschung von1 und2 durch den Akzeptor6 wurden ebenfalls untersucht.

     

Nonisothermal Kinetics of Sub‐Solidus Phase Transitions in C10Zn,C16Zn and Their Binary System

Nonisothermal kinetics of the solid‐solid phase transition in (n‐C₁₀H₂₁NH₃)₂ZnCl₄(C₁₀Zn), (n‐C₁₆H₃₃NH₃)₂ZnCl₄(C₁₆Zn) and their binary system were determined by Kissinger and Ozawa methods from DSC measurements. The activation energy E_a of the binary system shows a waving dependence on W_C10Zn%, which is caused by not only an intermediate (C₁₀H₂₁NH₃)(n‐C₁₆H₃₃NH₃)ZnCl₄ but also three solid solution ranges (α, β, γ) in the phase diagram of C₁₀Zn‐C₁₆Zn. The variations of the layer d‐spacing are also convenient for the above result.     

Effect of vibrational excitation of HBr on the H+HBr abstraction and exchange reactions

The effect of vibrational excitation of HBr on the H+HBrH₂+Br and H+HBrH+HBr reactions has been investigated on the extended LEPS surface (ELEPS) constructed on the basis of quantum chemically calculated points of PES. Together with this surface the LEPS surface of Sudhakaran and Raff [1] was used for comparison at two relative translational energies. A quasiclassical trajectory method was used to study the abstraction and exchange reaction dynamics. The reactive cross section was calculated as a function of the relative collision energy and the vibrational state of HBr. The following conclusions can be drawn from the results of the study: (i) vibrational excitation v=0 v=2 more than doubles the reaction cross section, (ii) the increase in the collision energy is most effectively channelled into the product translational energy.Dedicated to Professor J.

苯并唑类共聚物与共混物的能量转移与激子空间限制研究

通过3-氨基-4-羟基苯甲酸盐酸盐(AHBAH),2,5-二氨基-1,4-苯硫醇盐酸盐(DABDT)和2,5-噻吩二羧酸(TDA)在多聚磷酸中缩聚,合成了一系列不同组成的高、低带隙无规共聚物聚(2,5-苯并噁唑)-co-聚(2,5-噻吩基苯并二噻唑)(ABPBO-co-PBZTT),并制备了一系列由ABPBO和PBZTT组成的共混物.通过紫外-可见吸收光谱、光致荧光光谱研究了聚合物不同组成和结构变化对光物理性能的影响.随着共聚物中PBZTT含量的增加,共聚物的发射波长红移,并发生了明显的ABPBO结构吸收能量向PBZTT转移的现象,共聚物膜的量子效率比纯PBZTT膜的量子效率有明显提高.共混物虽然也发生了能量转移现象,但其更易于形成集聚体,量子效率与纯的PBZTT聚合物相比,并没有明显提高.     

Visible and near-IR luminescence via energy transfer in rare earth doped mesoporous titania thin films with nanocrystalline walls

Selected photoluminescence in the wavelength range of 600-1540 nm is generated by energy transfer from a light-gathering mesostructured host lattice to an appropriate rare earth ion. The mesoporous titania thin films, which have a well-ordered pore structure and two-phase walls made of amorphous titania and TiO₂ nanocrystallites, were doped with up to 8 mol% lanthanide ions, and the ordered structure of the material was preserved. Exciting the titania in its band gap results in energy transfer and it is possible to observe photoluminescence from the crystal field states of the rare earth ions. This process is successful for certain rare earth ions (Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, Yb³⁺, Nd³⁺, Er³⁺) and not for others (Tb³⁺, Tm³⁺). A mechanism has been proposed to explain this phenomenon, which involves energy transfer through surface states on titania nanocrystals to matching electronic states on the rare earth ions.

Molecular switches of fluorescence operating through metal centred redox couples

Three-component molecular systems (redox active subunit)-spacer-(light-emitting fragment) can operate as fluorescence switches, following the alternate addition of an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent (or the adjustment of the potential of the working electrode in an electrolysis experiment). The redox active subunit typically consists of a metal centred redox couple (M⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺/Mⁿ⁺), encircled by a macrocyclic receptor, and switching efficiency requires that one of the two oxidation states quenches the proximate fluorophore and the other does not. Four ON/OFF systems, based on either the Cu^II/Cu^I or Ni^III/Ni^II couple, will be discussed. The nature of the quenching process responsible for the OFF state, either electron transfer or energy transfer, is related to the length and to the flexibility-rigidity of the spacer.
