Postmodification of (PEG)m(PCL)n miktoarm stars with a dual-reactive branched core allowed the introduction of versatile functionalities, and the coumarin-functionalized star exhibited tunable fluorescence properties sensitive to solvent polarity and reduction stimulus.

Fluorescence properties of benzo[ghi]perylene (BPe) and ovalene (Ov) dissolved in 25 solvents of varying polarity are reported. Measurements indicate that emission intensities depend on solvent polarity. The BPe and Ov solvent polarity scales are defined as the ratio of the fluorescence emission intensities of bands I and III of the vibronic spectra. Benzo[ghi]perylene and ovalene solute probes enable fluorescence measurements to be made in spectral regions less prone to solvent inner filtering and other artifacts which have hampered the use of pyrene (Py) as a polarity probe molecule.

The autofluorescent substance monodansylcadaverine has recently been reported as a specific in vivo marker for autophagic vacuoles. However, the mechanism for this specific labeling remained unclear. Our results reveal that the common model of ion trapping in acidic compartments cannot completely account for the observed autophagic vacuole staining. Because autophagic vacuoles are characterized by myelin-like membrane inclusions, we tested whether this lipid-rich environment is responsible for the staining properties of monodansylcadaverine. In in vitro experiments using either liposomes or solvents of different polarity, monodansylcadaverine showed an increased relative fluorescence intensity in a hydrophobic environment as well as a Stokes shift dependent on the solvent polarity. To test the effect of autophagic vacuoles or autophagic vacuole lipids on monodansylcadaverine fluorescence, we isolated autophagic vacuoles and purified autophagic vacuole lipids depleted of proteins. Entire autophagic vacuoles and autophagic vacuole lipids had the same effect on monodansylcadaverine fluorescence properties, suggesting lipids as the responsible component. Our results suggest that the in vivo fluorescence properties of monodansylcadaverine do not depend exclusively on accumulation in acidic compartments by ion trapping but also on an effective interaction of this molecule with autophagic vacuole membrane lipids.

Abstract Absorption spectra and fluorescence properties of 2,3-dihydro-4(1 H)-quinolinone derivatives were studied at room temperature in different solvents. It has been found that the fluorescence quantum yields and fluorescence decay times strongly depend on the molecular structure and solvent polarity. The character and the energy of excited states were determined by PPP and CNDO/S quantum-chemical calculations.

The fluorescence spectra of [3.3](1,3)pyrenophanes in solution contain both monomer and intramolecular excimer emission bands. The ratio of the intensities is controlled by solvent polarity and temperature.

Aims: The aim of this research work is to synthesise, study and analyse photocatalytic degradation, kinetics and microbial activity of new surfactant Copper (II) soya urea complex(CSU). Background: Photocatalytic degradation has attracted the attention of scientific community throughout the world due to its multiple applications in environment, energy, waste water treatment, pollution control, green chemistry, etc. Copper (II) soya urea complex has been synthesized and characterized through FT-IR, NMR, ESR studies. Objective: Present work deals with the study of photocatalytic degradation of Copper (II) soya urea complex by using ZnO as semiconductor. This study employs a semiconductor catalyst using non polar and non aqueous solvent in photocatalytic degradation. Reaction rate is chosen as the photocatalytic activity, which has been governed by several factors. Antibacterial activities of Copper (II) complex have also been studied against Staphylococcus aureus. Method: Optical density (O.D.) was measured after different time intervals spectrophotometrically to measure the degradation of complex. Mueller-Hinton agar medium was used for antimicrobial activity of synthesized compound at different concentrations by disk/ well diffusion susceptibility testing. Result: Plot of 2+log O.D. (absorbance) versus time was plotted and found linear. The heterogeneous photocatalysis followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics.The present study suggests that Copper (II) soya urea (CSU) complex shows antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus at different concentrations. Conclusion: The results were used to determine the rate of photocatalytic degradation of CSU complex .It has been found that rate of degradation varies with different parameters like concentration of complex, amount of catalyst, light intensity, solvent polarity etc. CSU complex derived from soyabean oil has been shown an inhibitory effect on the growth of S. aureus which may causes skin disease.

Background: Copper(II) mustard thio urea complex has been synthesized and characterized through FT-IR, NMR, ESR studies. Objective: Photocatalytic degradation of copper(II) mustard thio urea complex was studied in the presence of ZnO as a catalyst in the solution form, using a non polar solvent benzene and a polar solvent methanol with different compositions. Antibacterial activities of copper(II) complex have also been studied against Staphylococcus aureus. Method: O.D. was measured after different time intervals spectrophotometrically to measure the degradation of the complex. Result: Plot of 2+ log O.D.
