The S1←S0 fluorescence excitation spectra and dispersed fluorescence spectra of jet-cooled (+)-, (-)- and (±)-1-phenylethylamine and their derivatives (amides) have been observed. The 0-0 band of the amine locates at 37,641 cm-1. The amides which were synthesized from (+)-amine or (-)-amine with (+)-tartaric acid are diastereomers. It was found that the two diastereomers give the identical spectra with the 0-0 band at 34,757 cm-1. No difference in the spectrum indicates that the excitation is localized in the phenyl group which is far from the asymmetric carbon causing diastereoism. It was also found that 1-phenylethylamine has a fast nonradiative relaxation process in the Sstate, but such a process is removed by the formation of the amide.

Abstract Fluorescence Spectroscopy on UHV-Deposited Thin Films of CoroneneThin films of coronene, UHV-deposited on different inorganic substrates (Si(111), Si(100), Si/Si02, graphite(0001) and MoS2(0001)) have been investigated via laser induced fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectra at various coronene coverages (from submonolayers to 1000 Å) and temperatures (4.2 K - 300 K). Independent of the substrate the films reveal a characteristic absorption which is red-shifted with respect to that of the coronene crystal and is attributed to a new film-specific structural modification (in accord with X-ray data). At film thicknesses d > 50 Å this absorption is increasingly superimposed by crystal-type absorption. The fluorescence spectra at low coverages and low temperatures strongly depend on the substrate. On Si/Si02, graphite and MoS2 the fluorescence is similar to that of the coronene crystal. Thin films on Si(100) and Si(111), on the other hand, show monomer-like narrowband fluorescence originating, presumably, in substrate-induced trap states

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.

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.
