The decay constants k T for phosphorescence and k D for delayed fluorescence have been measured for the same outgassed solutions of acenaphthene, pyrene, 1,2-benzanthracene and fluoranthene in liquid paraffin over a range of temperatures between – 70 and 30 °C. In all cases the luminescence decay is exponential and the intensity of delayed fluorescence is found to vary as the second power of incident light intensity; under these conditions the relation k D = 2 k T required by the triplet-triplet annihilation origin of delayed fluorescence is established over the temperature ranges in which delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence are exhibited simultaneously. Diffusional quenching of the triplet state 3 A by a solute impurity Q is believed to be responsible for the temperature (viscosity) dependence of k T and k D since ( a ) k T and k D are linear functions of solute concentration where this is examined, ( b ) by taking account of the reversibility of the quenching process 3 A + Q ⇌ A + 3 Q at higher temperatures (lower viscosities) the virtual independence of k on temperature exhibited for 1,2-benzanthracene and fluoranthene under these conditions may be explained. The resumed temperature dependence of k D for fluoranthrene at still higher temperatures is attributed to endothermic quenching of the triplet state by an impurity with a higher triplet state than that of the solute.

In this study, a near-infrared (NIR) theranostic photosensitizer was developed based on a heptamethine aminocyanine dye with a long-lived triplet state.

<div>Combining the roles of spin frustration and geometry of odd and even numbered rings in polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), we design small molecules that show exceedingly small singlet-triplet gaps and stable triplet ground states. Furthermore, a computationally efficient protocol with a model spin Hamiltonian is shown to be capable of qualitative agreement with respect to high level multireference calculations and therefore, can be used for fast molecular discovery and screening.</div>

The results of a numerical modeling of thermo-gravitational convection of abnormally thermo-viscous fluid in a closed square cavity with two vertical adiabatic walls and two horizontal isothermal walls are presented. A model Newtonian liquid for which the dependence of viscosity on temperature is described by a bell function (Gaussian curve) is considered. The natural convection of inhomogeneous liquid is described by the closed mathematical model based on the continuous mechanics equations written in Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation, where the fluid density is a linear function of temperature. To simulate the fluid flow dynamics, the modified computer code based on the implicit finite volume method and SIMPLE-type algorithm with the second-order temporal accuracy is realized using multiprocessor technology. The effect of the viscosity abnormality on stationary modes of convective flows are studied, the integral heat transfer coefficients in a flat cell are calculated.
