The results of low-temperature measurements of spectral trails (temporal evolutions of individual fluorescence excitation spectra) of single molecules Mg-tetraazaporphyrin embedded in polyisobutylene are presented. Spectral trails were recorded in a broad spectral range (up to 4000 GHz) at a temperature 6K. Spectral diffusion in a broad spectral range has been found. Individual spectra of single molecules with a broad peak shifted with respect to zero-phonon line at ~14 – 15 cm-1 were recorded. These broad peaks can be interpreted as the phonon sidebands.

A method of creation of aqueous solutions with silver nanoparticles for studying of fluorescence of hydrophobic compounds has been proposed for metallocomplexes of phthalocyanines. The effect of silver nanoparticles on the fluorescence of phthalocyanines metallocomplexes at room and low temperatures was studied. The addition of silver nanoparticles leads to plasmonic enhancement of signals in fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectra of the compounds of interest from 1,5 to more than 7 times. The lifetimes and quantum yield of fluorescence were measured for solutions of metallophthalocyanines in binary mixtures and in binary mixtures with the addition of silver triangular nanoplates with shells of silicon dioxide.

Phytoplankton play a vital role as primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. One common approach to classifying phytoplankton is fluorescence excitation spectroscopy, which leverages the variation in types and concentrations of pigments among different phytoplankton taxonomic groups. Here, we used a fluorescence imaging photometer to measure excitation ratios (“signatures”) of single cells and bulk cultures of seven differently pigmented phytoplankton species as they progressed from nitrogen N-replete to N-depleted conditions. Our objective was to determine whether N depletion alters the fluorescence excitation signature of each species and, if so, how quickly they recover when N (as nitrate) was resupplied, because these factors affect our ability to classify the species correctly. Of the seven species studied, only Proteomonas sulcata, a marine cryptophyte, showed measurable changes in single-cell fluorescence excitation ratios and bulk fluorescence excitation spectra. These changes were likely due to decreases in the cellular concentration of phycoerythrin, a N-rich pigment, as N became scarce. Within 3 h of resupply of N, fluorescence signatures began returning to pre-depletion values and were indistinguishable from N-replete cells by 80 h after resupply. These data suggest that our classification approach is robust for non-PE containing phytoplankton. PE-containing phytoplankton might exhibit systematic changes in their signatures depending on their level of N depletion, but this could be detected and the phytoplankton re-classified following a few hours of incubation in N replete conditions.

Exciplexes may be formed by exciting either partner of a given electron donor-acceptor pair. As the formation of such exciplexes is reversible, dissociation may lead to excitation energy transfer. ��� The temperature dependence of fluorescence excitation spectra has proved to be a powerful tool for exploring these systems.
