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.

A series of fluorescence compounds, 4-benzofuranyl-1,8-naphthalimides, were prepared through cycloaddition reaction from 4-ethynyl-1,8-naphthalimides and o-iodophenols which catalyzed by a Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 / CuI system under mild conditions. The intermediate material, 4-ethynyl-1,8- naphthalimide, was synthesized from 4-bromo-1,8- naphthalimide and trimethylsilyl- acetylene. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of 4-benzofuranyl-1,8- naphthalimides were studied and the quantum yields were measured. The maximum UV/vis absorption spectra were in the range of 375-400 nm and the maximum emission spectra were in the range of 470-510 nm. The electro- luminescent properties were also mensurated through a doped electroluminescent device which contains 1% 1,8-naphthalimides and 99% CBP (4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl), It’s shown the maximum brightness reached 3700 cd/ m2 at 22.5V.

The article presents the results of spectroscopic studies focused on a selected compound from the 1,3,4-thiadiazole group—2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-5-(2,4-dihydroxybenzeno)-1,3,4-thia-diazole (FABT)—in a micellar system formed by Triton X-100, a non-ionic detergent. Fluorescence measurements revealed the phenomenon of dual fluorescence whose emergence is related to the particular molecular organisation of the compound, which depends both on the concentration of the detergent and, most of all, the concentration of the compound itself. Dual fluorescence of FABT in a micellar system was observed for the compound dissolved in a methanol aqueous system, i.e., an environment wherein the dual fluorescence of the compound had never been reported before. Based on the interpretation of UV-Vis electronic absorption, resonance light scattering (RLS), emission and excitation fluorescence spectra, as well as measurements of dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), we were able to relate the occurrence of this effect to the process of molecular aggregation taking place between FABT molecules in the micellar system in question. Results of fluorescence spectra measurements and time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) indicate that dual fluorescence occurs at detergent concentrations necessary to form micellar systems, which in turn facilitate the process of aggregation of FABT molecules. The correlation between the observed fluorescence effects and the previous measurements performed for analogues from this group suggests the possibility of charge transfer (CT) within the range of detergent concentrations wherein the aforementioned fluorescence effects are observed. It ought to be emphasised that this type of fluorescence effects are relatively easy to induce, which predisposes this groups of fluorophores as ideal fluorescence probes in the context of biological samples.

A novel unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene 1-(2, 5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(2,2-dibutylfluorene)-3-thienyperfluorocyclo-pentene (1o) was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. Diarylethene 1 changed the color from colorless to hyacinthine upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 554 nm in hexane and at 565 nm in PMMA amorphous film, respectively. This new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable fluorescence intensity both in solution and in PMMA film. The fluorescence spectra showed a systematic red-shift with the emission intensity of diarylethene 1 in a photo-stationary state was quenched to ca. 64%. The cyclization and cycloreversion quantum yields of 1 in hexane were determined to be 0.56 and 0.002. Polarization multiplexed image recording can be carried out in this diarylethene 1c/PMMA film as recording medium film.

The theory of the gross vibrational structure in the electronic spectra of molecular aggregates is developed for the case of weak intermolecular interaction. The electronically excited states are represented by a set of m-m functions corrected to first order as described in Part IV of this series. An explicit treatment is given for aggregates with two molecules per unit cell. Formulae are obtained for the relative vibronic intensities, splittings, and polarization ratios in absorption spectra, and for relative quantum yields and polarization ratios in fluorescence spectra. The theoretical results are compared with those of the E-V coupling theory developed in Parts II and III. On the basis of this comparison, a general equation is put forward to relate the theoretical crystal splitting (i.e. the splitting for a rigid model) to observed polarization ratios in spectra. The theoretical results are compared with the observed vibrational structure in the 3800 Ǻ band system of anthracene crystal. The crystal splitting calculated from the observed polarization ratios is 380 cm-1. The theory accounts, within the rather large experimental error, for the observed variations of polarization ratio in both the absorption and the fluorescence spectra of anthracene crystal.

New heterogeneous photosensitizers were synthesized, in which phthalocyanines of zinc and aluminum, tetrasubstituted at non-peripheral positions with modified thiophenyl groups, were grafted to aminopropyl silica gel. The absorption and fluorescence spectra, and the quantum yields of fluorescence and photosensitized singlet oxygen generation were estimated for aqueous suspensions of these sensitizers. It is shown that upon photoexcitation, silica gel-bound phthalocyanines produce singlet oxygen and display photobactericidal activity against bacteria E. coli.
