Nitromethane is examined as a selective quenching agent for discriminating between “alternant” versus “nonalternant” polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in unknown mixtures. Of the 36 benzenoid solutes studied, only dibenzo[hi,wx]heptaphene failed to obey the selective quenching rule. Also reported are new experimental fluorescence probe studies for dibenzo[de,st]pentacene, dibenzo[fg,qr]pentacene, naphtho[8,1,2hij)-hexaphene, benzo[vwx]hexaphene, benzo[1,2,3cd;4,5,6c'd‘]diperylene, dibenzo[hi,wx]heptacene, benzo[b]triphenylene, chrysense, and anthracene dissolved in nonelectrolyte solvents of varying polarity. Benzo-[vwx]hexaphene was found to exhibit probe character, as evidenced by a systematic variation in emission intensity ratio with solvent polarity.

In this paper, a novel NL-Fe3+ ensemble was designed as a fluorescent chemosensor for highly selective detection of pyrophosphate (PPi) in DMSO/H2O (2:8/v:v, pH = 7.2) solution and living cells. NL showed a strong affinity for Fe3+ and was accompanied by obvious fluorescence quenching. Upon the addition of PPi to the generated NL-Fe3+ ensemble, the fluorescence and absorption spectra were recovered completely. Spectroscopic investigation showed that the interference provoked by common anions such as adenosine-triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and phosphates (Pi) can be ignored. The detection limit of NL-Fe3+ to PPi was calculated to be 1.45 × 10−8 M. Intracellular imaging showed that NL-Fe3+ has good membrane permeability and could be used for the detection of PPi in living cells. A B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set was used to optimize NL and NL-Fe3+ complex.

Nitromethane is examined as a selective fluorescence quenching agent for “alternant” alkyl-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Fluorescence emission behavior is reported for 11 H-benz[bc]aceanthrylene, 4 H-cyclopenta[def]phenanthrene, 4 H-cyclopenta[def]chrysene, 13 H-dibenzo[a,g]fluorene, 13 H-dibenzo[a,i]fluorene, 4 H-benzo[b]cyclopenta[mno]chrysene, 4 H-cyclopenta[pqr]picene, 7 H-dibenzo[c,g]fluorene, 9 H-benz(6,7)indeno[1,21]phenanthrene, 4 H-benzo[b]cyclopenta[jkl]triphenylene, 13 H-dibenz[bc,k]aceanthrylene, 13 H-dibenz[bc,l]aceanthrylene, and 4 H-benzo[def]cyclopenta[mno]chrysene dissolved in organic solvents of varying polarity and in acetonitrile or aqueous-acetonitrile solvent mixtures at various nitromethane concentrations. Results of these measurements show that nitromethane quenches fluorescence emission of the thirteen solutes studied, which is in complete agreement with what would be expected on the basis of the fact that all solutes are “alternant” polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

It is necessary to have quantitative estimates of the intensity of lines (both absorption and emission) to obtain the physical parameters of the atmosphere of components.Some years ago at the Crimean observatory we began the spectroscopic investigation of close binary systems of the early spectral type with components WR, Of, O, B to try and obtain more quantitative information from the study of the spectra of the components.
