A detailed model for nonlinear photoexcitation of H2 in space is proposed and considered at length. It is shown that, on the basis of this model, one is able to provide at least partial explanations for three famous astrophysical spectral mysteries pertaining to our galaxy. These concern the carrier identities of the Diffuse Interstellar (Absorption) Bands (DIBs), the Unidentified Infrared (Emission) Bands (UIBs), and the visible bands emitted by the Red Rectangle nebula.PACS Nos.: 95.30Gv, 33.70-w

Abstract Two-photon excited near-infrared fluorescence materials have garnered considerable attention because of their superior optical penetration, higher spatial resolution, and lower optical scattering compared with other optical materials. Herein, a convenient and efficient supramolecular approach is used to synthesize a two-photon excited near-infrared emissive co-crystalline material. A naphthalenediimide-based triangular macrocycle and coronene form selectively two co-crystals. The triangle-shaped co-crystal emits deep-red fluorescence, while the quadrangle-shaped co-crystal displays deep-red and near-infrared emission centered on 668 nm, which represents a 162 nm red-shift compared with its precursors. Benefiting from intermolecular charge transfer interactions, the two co-crystals possess higher calculated two-photon absorption cross-sections than those of their individual constituents. Their two-photon absorption bands reach into the NIR-II region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The quadrangle-shaped co-crystal constitutes a unique material that exhibits two-photon absorption and near-infrared emission simultaneously. This co-crystallization strategy holds considerable promise for the future design and synthesis of more advanced optical materials.

The possibility that many different diffuse interstellar absorption features may be produced by the same type of absorbing atom in different hydrocarbon matrices on interstellar grains has been examined experimentally. The present study shows that absorption bands due to Na atoms in various hydrocarbon matrices can occur within the wavelength range 5400–5800 Å. A study of the molecules generated from the radiation-induced polymerization of C2H2 at 55 K is also reported. It is shown that C6H6 is an abundant product of this polymerization and may therefore be an important constituent of interstellar grains.
