AbstractA sensitivity modulation method was employed to measure the fluorescence spectra and quantum yields of weakly fluorescent 2-substituted (NH2, O, OCH3, CI, Br) 3-methylquinoxalines in n-hexane and methanol at room temperature. A strong decrease in the quantum yield with increasing atomic weight of the substituents was observed in n-hexane. In polar solvents, the CI substituent is the strongest quencher although its atomic weight is 2.254 times smaller than that of Br

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of acridine orange, proflavine, and rhodamine B have been studied with particular attention being paid to the acid-base properties of these dyes in polar and non-polar solvents. These studies show that the neutral acridine dyes do not form dimers but they are readily protonated even in non-polar solvents due to traces of water which are difficult to remove. Attempts to achieve laser emission form the acridine dyes were unsuccessful, probably because of their low fluorescence quantum yields. Suggestions are made for optimizing the laser efficiency of rhodamine B in various alcohol solutions at low temperatures.

A series of mono-hydroxyl corrole bearing a fluorine (1), chlorine (2), bromine (3) and iodine (4) atom on its 10-phenyl group have been synthesized. Fluorescence spectroscopy shows that the halogen atom at meso-phenyl group of corroles exhibit significant heavy-atom effect on their photophysical properties. Fluorescence quantum yields and the lifetime of these corroles decrease with the increasing of the atomic weight of halogen atoms. The quenching of the fluorescence could be interpreted in terms of a heavy atom-induced increase in intersystem crossing from S1 to T1. The intersystem crossing rate constant of these corroles were also determined by transient fluorescence spectra.

New indeno[1,2-c]pyran-3-ones bearing different substituents at the pyran moiety were synthesized and their photophysical properties were investigated. In solution all compounds were found to be blue emitters and the trans isomers exhibited significantly higher fluorescence quantum yields (relative to 9,10-diphenylanthracene) as compared to the corresponding cis isomers. The solid-state fluorescence spectra revealed an important red shift of λmax due to intermolecular interactions in the lattice, along with an emission-band broadening, as compared to the solution fluorescence spectra.

The photochemical cycloaddition of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD) to ethylene and acetylene at pressures above 10 bar is described. Upon sensitized irradiation (2-acetylnaphthaline) CHD adds to ethylene at room temperature in dichloromethane to give cis-bicyclo[4,2,0]-oct-2-ene (1) along with dimers of cyclohexadiene. The yield of cross adduct increases with ethylene pressure (10-50 bar) whereas dimerisation decreases. Quantum yields of cross addition and dimerisation at 12 M ethylene were determined to be 0.31 and 0.35 respectively. At a pressure of 15 bar acetylene CHD reacts with acetylene to give bicyclo-[4,2,0]octa-2,7-diene (2) and bicyclo[2,2,2]octa-2,5-diene (3) as the major and minor products respectively. In a solvent mixture containing 60 vol-% CH2Cl2 and 40 vol-% acetone (2) is formed with a quantum yield of φ = 0.2. The experimental results are explained by a formal kinetic scheme.

An equation that relates the ratio of fluorescence to phosphorescence quantum yields as function of temperature to basic photophysical parameters is considered. The quantum yields were obtained from three compounds on three different solid matrices. Fluorescence quantum yields did not change much with temperature, while phosphorescence quantum yields changed more substantially with temperature. For some of the systems considered, it was possible to show that, as the temperature was lowered, the quantum yield ratio was only a function of the phosphorescence lifetime of the phosphor. However, with other systems, the quantum yield ratio was dependent on both the rate constant of intersystem crossing from the singlet state to the triplet state and the phosphorescence lifetime. The equation discussed is important in defining the fundamental parameters that cause the luminescence quantum yield ratio to change as temperature is lowered.

Abstract The initial quantum yields of photoöxidation for purified Hevea rubber have been measured for various mercury arc lines in the wave length region 2537– 17,400 A˚. All experiments were carried out at room temperature and at an oxygen pressure of one atmosphere. At the outset of irradiation all quantum yields of combined oxygen are less than unity, although the quantum efficiency rises above 1.0 at 2537 and 3130 A˚. as photoöxidation proceeds. The low quantum yield suggests that in its initial stages (less than 0.1 per cent oxygen combined on the rubber) photoöxidation is not a chain reaction. It is postulated as the first step in rubber photoöxidation that the light activated rubber group reacts with oxygen to give a relatively stable intermediate which does not immediately dissociate to give a free radical reaction chain. The quantum yields of photoöxidation of purified GR-S were also measured under the same conditions as used for rubber. At each wave length the quantum yield was lower than for rubber, indicating formation of a stable intermediate in the initial reaction also.

Five new meso-tetrakis(1-arylpyrazol-4-yl)porphyrins were synthesized to investigate their fluorescence properties. Preparation of these porphyrins was carried out by cyclization of tetramethoxypropane with substituted phenylhydrazine, followed by formylation to give the corresponding aldehydes, which reacted with pyrrole under the Adler reaction condition to get the target porphyrins (1a-1e). All the porphyrins were characterized by 1 H NMR, elemental analysis, UV-vis spectra and mass spectra. Red fluorescence emission of these porphyrins was observed in fluorescence spectra. Compared with meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPPH2), these meso-tetrakis(1-arylpyrazol-4-yl) porphyrins had a significant red shift in UV-vis and fluorescence spectra with increased fluorescence quantum yields.

Abstract Analytical expressions of absorption and fluorescence spectra of some coumarins in ethyl alcohol at room temperature are given. Satisfactory agreement of measured and calculated spectra is obtained. It was possible to obtain the pure electronic transition energies immediately after excitation (from absorption spectra) and after the thermal and orientational equilibrium is reached (from fluorescence). An optical transition carries a dye-solvent system to a state in which the mutual interaction energy is larger than in the initial state
