The first part of the series of review papers on the properties of some synthetically and spectroscopically interesting studies of our group for the period 2007-2017 is presented. In particular, examples are shown on the analysis of spectroscopic data in conjunction with molecular orbital (MO) calculations. We have used mainly electronic absorption and natural and magnetic circular dichroism (CD and MCD) spectroscopic techniques, with occasional use of fluorescence, phosphorescence, and time-resolved EPR. Not only the spectra of (4n + 2)π systems, but also some 4nπ anti-aromatic systems are theoretically analyzed, which helps the reader to learn how to interprete the spectral data. In the first part and the second part of this review monomer systems are considered, and in the third - trimeric and tetrameric systems. <span style="opacity: 0;"> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . </span>

Porphyrins and related compounds are basic moieties which upon photoexcitation produce paramagnetic transients important to many processes in biology, material science and light–energy conversion. This short review demonstrates the application of time-resolved EPR spectroscopy to two processes in which the photoexcited singlet and/or triplet are involved: (1) intramolecular electron transfer in photoexcited donor–acceptor systems embedded in liquid crystals, where the porphyrins are the electron donors attached to different types of acceptors; and (2) intermolecular magnetic interactions between photoexcited porphyrin triplets and free radicals. In both systems the electron spin plays an important part with regards to the route of the magnetic interactions involved.

Tylosin and tilmicosin (T&T) residues in livestock products have received extensive attention from consumers. Time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic assay (TRFICA), as a fast, efficient and sensitive immunoassay method, has played an increasingly important role in the food safety field. Therefore, herein a quantitative and visual TRFICA was established for simultaneously detecting T&T in milk in a group-screening manner. Under the optimal conditions, the standard curve range of developed TRFICA based on the T&T was 1.87~7.47 ng/mL, and the half-maximal inhibition concentrations (IC50) were 4.06 ng/mL and 3.74 ng/mL, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) of the TRFICA method were from 1.72 ng/mL to 1.39 ng/mL, and the visual cut-off values were 31.25 ng/mL and 62.50 ng/mL for T&T in milk, respectively. Moreover, the stability experiments showed that the strips could be stored at 4 °C for more than 6 months, the total detection time was less than 13 min, and the cross-reactivities (CRs) with related compounds were less than 0.1%, which concluded that the developed TRFICA method could be used in real milk sample detection.

When a solution of microtubule protein is changed from non-polymerising to polymerising conditions (e.g. by temperature jump or mixing with GTP) there is a series of structural transitions preceding microtubule growth. These have been detected by time-resolved X-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation, and they may be classified into pre-nucleation and nucleation events. X-ray patterns are good indicators for the average behavior of the particles in solution, but they are difficult to interpret unless additional information on their structure is available. We therefore studied the assembly process by electron microscopy under conditions approaching those of the X-ray experiment. There are two difficulties in the EM approach: One is that the particles important for assembly are usually small and not very regular and therefore tend to be overlooked. Secondly EM specimens require low concentrations which favor disassembly of the particles one wants to observe since there is a dynamic equilibrium between polymers and subunits.

Electron channeling patterns (ECP) were first found by Coates (1967) while observing a large bulk, single crystal of silicon in a scanning electron microscope. The geometric pattern visible was shown to be produced as a result of the changes in the angle of incidence, between the beam and the specimen surface normal, which occur when the sample is examined at low magnification (Booker, Shaw, Whelan and Hirsch 1967).A conventional electron diffraction pattern consists of an angularly resolved intensity distribution in space which may be directly viewed on a fluorescent screen or recorded on a photographic plate. An ECP, on the other hand, is produced as the result of changes in the signal collected by a suitable electron detector as the incidence angle is varied. If an integrating detector is used, or if the beam traverses the surface at a fixed angle, then no channeling contrast will be observed. The ECP is thus a time resolved electron diffraction effect. It can therefore be related to spatially resolved diffraction phenomena by an application of the concepts of reciprocity (Cowley 1969).

Structure and stability of atomic clusters have been studied by time-resolved high-resolution electron microscopy (TRHREM). Typical examples are observations of structural fluctuation in gold (Au) clusters supported on silicon oxide films, graphtized carbon films and magnesium oxide (MgO) films. All the observations have been performed on the clusters consisted of single metal element. Structural stability of ceramics clusters, such as metal-oxide, metal-nitride and metal-carbide clusters, has not been observed by TRHREM although the clusters show anomalous structural and functional properties concerning to solid state physics and materials science.In the present study, the behavior of ceramic, magnesium oxide (MgO) clusters is for the first time observed by TRHREM at 1/60 s time resolution and at atomic resolution down to 0.2 nm.MgO and gold were subsequently deposited on sodium chloride (001) substrates. The specimens, single crystalline MgO films on which Au particles were dispersed were separated in distilled water and observed by using a 200-kV high-resolution electron microscope (JEOL, JEM2010) equipped with a high sensitive TV camera and a video tape recorder system.
