Abstract To improve two-photon absorption (TPA) response of a newly synthesized probe, a series of ratiometric two-photon fluorescent Zn2+ sensors based on quinoline and DPA moieties have been designed. The one-photon absorption, TPA and emission properties of the experimental and designed probes before and after coordination with Zn2+ are investigated employing the density functional theory in combination with response functions. The design consists of two levels. In the first level of design, five probes are constructed through using several electron acceptors or donors to increase accepting or donating ability of the fluorophores. It shows that all the designed probes have stronger TPA intensities at longer wavelengths with respect to the experimental probe because of the increased intra-molecular charge transfer. Moreover, it is found that the probe 4 built by adding an acyl unit has the largest TPA cross section among the designed strictures due to the form of longer conjugated length and more linear backbone. One dimethylamino terminal attached along the skeleton can improve TPA intensity more efficiently than two side amino groups. Therefore, in the second level of design, a new probe 7 is formed by both an acyl unit and a dimethylamino terminal. It exhibits that the TPA cross sections of probe 7 and its zinc complex increase dramatically. Furthermore, the fluorescence quantum yields of the designed probes 4 and 7 are calculated in a new way, which makes use of the relation between the computed difference of dipole moment and the measured fluorescence quantum yield. The result shows that our design also improves the fluorescence quantum yield considerably. All in all, the designed probes 4 and 7 not only possess enhanced TPA intensities but also have large differences of emission wavelength upon Zn2+ coordination and strong fluorescence intensity, which demonstrates that they are potential ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probes.

Introduction of a tetrahydroquinoxaline donor into boron difluoride complexes largely extended their emissions (617–684 nm), highly improved their fluorescence quantum yields (up to 0.68) and greatly increased their Stokes shifts (up to 209 nm).

The high incident irradiances available with pulsed lasers can lead to a significant depletion of the ground-state population of the chromophore and to optical saturation effects. As a result, the optical absorption coefficient decreases as a function of the excitation energy and, because the amount of energy released by radiative and nonradiative relaxation processes depends on the amount of energy absorbed, nonlinear energy-dependent signals are obtained. Therefore, large errors can be introduced when fluorescence and photothermal data are used to determine fluorescence quantum yields. This work provides experimental results describing the effects of optical saturation on fluorescence and thermal lens measurements for rhodamine 6G in various media and over a wide energy range. It is shown that, when optical saturation is avoided, the photothermal method gives accurate absolute values of Φf ranging from 0.93 to 0.95, depending on the solvent. On the contrary, fluorescence measurements seem to be sensitive to additional experimental artifacts that are more difficult to characterize and to eliminate.

This work describes the synthesis, spectral and fluorescence properties of bis 4-(4-formyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy) substituted zinc (ZnPc) and magnesium (MgPc) phthalocyanines. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H-NMR and mass spectra. Afterward, the effects of including metal ion on the photophysicochemical properties of the complexes were studied in biocompatible solvent DMSO to analyze their potential to use as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The fluorescence and singlet oxygen quantum yields were calculated as 0.04–0.15 and 0.70–0.52 for ZnPc and MgPc, respectively. According to the results, MgPc has higher fluorescence quantum yield than ZnPc, while ZnPc has higher singlet oxygen quantum yield than MgPc. The results show that the synthesized complexes can have therapeutic outcomes for cancer treatment.

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.

The presence of humic acid (HA) makes it extremely difficult to determine and quantify accurately polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aquatic environment because of their complex and strong interaction. To solve this problem, a new method was developed in this work through the combination of PARAFAC and fluorescence spectroscopy, which mainly includes: (1) the fluorescence quantum yield acquisition of PAHs with and without HA by PARAFAC; (2) the  concentration score correction of PAHs in validation and test sets using the fluorescence quantum yields; and (3) the prediction of PAHs concentration in the validation and test sets in the presence of HA by corrected concentration. Using this method, the PAHs concentration on the level of µg L−1 in the test samples with HA of 2.5 mg/L and 5.0 mg/L can be successfully predicted with the root mean square error below 0.15 µg L−1, relative error of prediction below 4% for validation samples, recoveries of each PAH between 82.5% and 102.6% for test samples.
