In this work, a cocktail approach toward tunable organic long-lived luminescence materials in solid, solution, and gel states is proposed. The tunable long-lived luminescence (τ > 0.7 s) is realized by controlling the energy transfer via manipulating the photo-induced isomerization of the energy acceptor (5). The afterglow can be regulated between blue and yellow emission upon irradiation of UV or visible light. And the “apparent lifetime” for the long-lived fluorescence is the same as the lifetime of the energy donor. The function is relying on the simple radiative energy transfer (reabsorption) between a long-lived phosphorescence and a highly efficient fluorescent isomer (5b), rather than the complicated communication between the excited state of the molecules such as Förster resonance energy transfer or Dexter energy transfer. The simple working principle endows this strategy with huge universality, flexibility, and operability. This work offers an extremely simple, feasible, and universal way to construct tunable afterglow materials in solid, solution, and gel states.

A conventional fluorescence microscope was modified to observe the sites of resonance energy transfer (RET) between fluorescent probes in model membranes and in living cells. These modifications, and the parameters necessary to observe RET between membrane-bound fluorochromes, are detailed for a system that uses N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) or fluorescein as the energy donor and sulforhodamine as the energy acceptor. The necessary parameters for RET in this system were first optimized using liposomes. Both quenching of the energy donor and sensitized fluorescence of the energy acceptor could be directly observed in the microscope. RET microscopy was then used in cultured fibroblasts to identify those intracellular organelles labeled by the lipid probe, N-SRh-decylamine (N-SRh-C10). This was done by observing the sites of RET in cells doubly labeled with N-SRh-C10 and an NBD-labeled lipid previously shown to label the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and nuclear envelope. RET microscopy was also used in cells treated with fluorescein-labeled Lens culinaris agglutinin and a sulforhodamine derivative of phosphatidylcholine to examine the internalization of plasma membrane lipid and protein probes. After internalization, the fluorescent lectin resided in most, but not all of the intracellular compartments labeled by the fluorescent lipid, suggesting sorting of the membrane-bound lectin into a subset of internal compartments. We conclude that RET microscopy can co-localize different membrane-bound components at high resolution, and may be particularly useful in examining temporal and spatial changes in the distribution of fluorescent molecules in membranes of the living cell.

A poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) containing rhodamine 6G (R6G) was synthesized by the Suzuki-coupling reaction, in which PPP acted as a blue-emitting energy donor and R6G acted as a ligand for Fe(iii) as well as the energy acceptor for Förster resonance energy transfer.

In recent years, nanotechnology has gained significant interest for applications in the medical field. In this regard, a utilization of the ZnO nanoparticles for the efficient degradation of bilirubin (BR) through photocatalysis was explored. BR is a water insoluble byproduct of the heme catabolism that can cause jaundice when its excretion is impaired. The photocatalytic degradation of BR activated by ZnO nanoparticles through a non-radiative energy transfer pathway can be influenced by the surface defect-states (mainly the oxygen vacancies) of the catalyst nanoparticles. These were modulated by applying a simple annealing in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. The mechanism of the energy transfer process between the ZnO nanoparticles and the BR molecules adsorbed at the surface was studied by using steady-state and picosecond-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. A correlation of photocatalytic degradation and time-correlated single photon counting studies revealed that the defect-engineered ZnO nanoparticles that were obtained through post-annealing treatments led to an efficient decomposition of BR molecules that was enabled by Förster resonance energy transfer.

Lanthanide-based resonance energy transfer (LRET) is an established method for measuring or detecting proximity between a luminescent lanthanide (energy donor) and an organic fluorophore (energy acceptor). Because resonance energy transfer is a distance-dependent phenomenon that increases in efficiency to the 6th power of the distance between the donor and the acceptor, assay systems are often designed to minimize donor-acceptor distances. However, the authors show that because of the R6 relationship between transfer efficiency and sensitized emission lifetime, energy transfer can be difficult to measure in a time-gated manner when the donor-acceptor distance is small relative to the Förster radius. In such systems, the advantages inherent in time-resolved, ratiometric measurements are lost but can be regained by designing the system such that the average donor-acceptor distance is increased.

The systems acridizinium- and N-methylacridinium ion, respectively, as energy donors and rhodamin B (tetrafluoroborate) as energy acceptor show in solutions of low viscosity (solvent : methanol) energy transfer by resonance, in which a multi-step mechanism is participating. The experimental results of the detected singlet-singlet transfer are in good agreement with the predictable values of Förster's theory, if the spectroscopic parameters of the donor and the acceptor are corrected by assumption of their dependence upon concentration.

The quenching of fluorescence (FL) at the vicinity of conductive surfaces and, in particular, near a 2-D graphene layer has become an important biochemical sensing tool. The quenching is attributed to fast non-radiative energy transfer between a chromophore (here, a Quantum Dot, QD) and the lossy graphene layer. Increased emission rate is also observed when the QD is coupled to a resonator. Here, we combine the two effects in order to control the emission lifetime of the QD. In our case, the resonator was defined by an array of nano-holes in the oxide substrate underneath a graphene surface guide. At resonance, the surface mode of the emitted radiation is concentrated at the nano-holes. Thus, the radiation of QD at or near the holes is spatially correlated through the hole-array’s symmetry. We demonstrated an emission rate change by more than 50% as the sample was azimuthally rotated with respect to the polarization of the excitation laser. In addition to an electrical control, such control over the emission lifetime could be used to control Resonance Energy Transfer (RET) between two chromophores.
