A simple and versatile light-based strategy to grow low-dimensional gold superstructures is presented; prolonged UV-irradiation of TiO2 nanorod-stabilized Au nanoparticles in organic media promotes the progressive formation of distinctive chainlike metal assemblies, namely segments of a few gold particles, 2D or quasi-1D large structures composed of interlacing lines of hundreds of metal units over areas of about 500 nm2. 相似文献

The interaction of Rose Bengal (RB) with hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and
hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) has been studied in water and in acetate buffer at pH 4.5 by UV–Vis absorption, fluorescence
spectroscopy and Induced Circular Dichroism at 298 K. Evidence of the complex formation between the RB and all HP-CDs have
been obtained both in water and in buffer. Binding constants and stoichiometry of RB/HP-CD complexes in water have been determined
by applying the modified Benesi-Hildebrand equation to the fluorescence measurements. 相似文献

Monolayers of n-alkanethiols of chain length from C12 to C18 were self-assembled on a hanging mercury drop electrode, and a film of chlorophyllide (Chlide) was adsorbed on top of them. The reduction photocurrents following illumination of the Chlide film were measured over the potential range in which the Chlide is electroinactive in the dark, and their action spectra were determined. Plotting the derivative of the photocurrents with respect to the applied potential against potential yields bell-shaped curves that can be fitted to a Gaussian. The potential of the Gaussian maximum was used to determine the reorganization energy lambda for the Chlide electroreduction process. An increase in the thiol chain length causes lambda to decrease regularly and the photocurrent to decay exponentially with the monolayer thickness, with a decay constant beta of about 0.17 A(-1). 相似文献

Photosystem II is a multisubunit membrane complex which performs the water oxidation process in the higher plants. Core dimers and monomers of photosystem II have been isolated from thylakoid membranes by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Lipids extracted from different photosystem II-enriched fractions obtained from spinach thylakoids have been analysed by thin layer chromatography. Cardiolipin is enriched throughout the purification of photosystem II complexes; in particular dimers contained two times more cardiolipin than their monomeric counterparts. 相似文献

Abstract— In this paper, the technique of cyclic voltammetry has been used in a photoelectrochemical cell in order to follow the redox species formed in solution by the photo-induced electron transfer between the thylakoids and various acceptors and donors. The photoelectrochemical behavior of artificial electron acceptors (such as 2,5-dichlorobenzoquinone and methylviologen) and donors (such as sym -diphenylcarbazide and durohydroquinone) specific for either Photosystem I or Photosystem II has been investigated. The influence of inhibiting agents (such as 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea and Tris) on the cell photoresponse has also been characterized, together with the capability of donors to restore the photocurrent. Evidence for H2 O2 formation by way of a Mehler-type reaction has been provided and an electrochemical model of its coupled photochemical and electrochemical reactions in solution is reported. 相似文献

Equilibrium constants and standard molar enthalpies of reaction were determined by titration calorimetry for the reaction
of 1-butanol with 2-hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin (HP-b-CD) in aqueous solution at different concentrations of NaCl (0-1.9
M). The standard molar free energy and entropy changes associated to the complexation were calculated from the corresponding
equilibrium constants, K, and standard enthalpies determined experimentally. In NaCl solutions the inclusion complexes ButOH/HP-b-CD are more stable
than in water and their stability increases at increasing NaCl concentration; otherwise, the standard molar enthalpy associated
to the formation of the complexes does not change with the increasing of salt concentration. The dependence of K on NaCl concentration were used to evaluate the number of water molecules displaced from the hydration shells of HP-b-CD
and ButOH in forming complexes.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a way of treating malignant tumors and hyperproliferative diseases. It is based on the use of photosensitizer, herein the chlorophyll a (chl a), and a light of an appropriate wavelength. The interaction of the photosensitizer (PS) with the light produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), powerful oxidizing agents, which cause critical damage to the tissue. To solubilize chl a in aqueous solution and to obtain it as monomer, we have used cyclodextrins, carriers which are able to interact with the pigment and form the inclusion complex. The aim of this study is to examine which types of ROS are formed by Chl a/cyclodextrin complexes in phosphate buffered solution and cell culture medium, using specific molecules, called primary acceptors, which react selectively with the reactive species. In fact the changes of the absorption and the emission spectra of these molecules after the illumination of the PS provide information on the specific ROS formation. The 1O2 formation has been tested using chemical methods based on the use of Uric Acid (UA), 9,10‐diphenilanthracene (DPA) and Singlet oxygen sensor green (SOSG) and by direct detection of Singlet Oxygen (1O2) luminescence decay at 1270 nm. Moreover, 2,7‐dichlorofluorescin and ferricytochrome c (Cyt Fe3+) have been used to detect the formation of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radical anion, which reduces Fe3+ of the ferricytochrome to Fe2+, respectively. 相似文献

T-2 and HT-2 toxins are mycotoxins produced by several Fusarium species that are commonly found in various cereal grains, including oats, barley, wheat and maize. Intake estimates indicate that the presence of these mycotoxins in the diet can be of concern for public health. In this work, the inclusion processes occurring between fluorescent anthracene-derivatives of T-2 and HT-2 toxins and different cyclodextrin (CD) molecules were investigated in aqueous solutions by means of UV–Vis absorption, fluorescence emission and dynamic light scattering. Binding constant values and chemico-physical parameters were calculated. It was found that β-CDs give stronger inclusion reactions with both T-2 and HT-2 derivatives, as stated by important emission intensity increments. Such interactions were found to be fundamentally enthalpy-driven. Among β-CDs, the effect of the methylation at hydroxyl groups was tested: as a result, the di-methyl form of β-CD was found to induce the best fluorescence intensity enhancements. 相似文献

Heterostructures formed of films of organic-capped ZnO and TiO2 nanocrystals (both with the size of ca. 6 nm) and photosynthetic pigments were prepared and characterized. The surface of
optically transparent electrodes (Indium Tin Oxide) was modified with nanocrystals and prepared by colloidal synthetic routes.
The nanostructured electrodes were sensitized by a mixture of chlorophyll a and carotenoids. The characterization of the hybrid
structures, carried out by means of steady-state optical measurements, demonstrated such class of dyes able to extend the
photoresponse of the large band-gap semiconductors. The charge-transfer processes between the components of the heterojunction
were investigated, and photoelectrochemical measurements taken on the sensitized ZnO and TiO2 nanocrystals electrodes elucidated the photoactivity of the heterojunctions as a function of the dyes and of the red–ox mediator
used in solution. The effect of methyl viologen as different red–ox mediator was also evaluated in order to show its effect
on the heterojunction photoactivity. The overall results contributed to describe the photoelectrochemical potential of the
investigated heterojunctions, highlighting a higher response of the dye-sensitized ZnO nanocrystals, and then provided the
TiO2-modified counterparts. 相似文献
