The fluorescence quenching of coumarin dye namely 4-(2,6-dibromo-4-methyl-phenoxymethyl)-benzo[h]chromen-2-one [DMB] has been studied by aniline, in a different solvent mixture of benzene (BN) and acetonitrile (AN) at room temperature. The quenching is found to be appreciable and shows positive deviation from linearity in the Stern-Volmer (S-V) plots for all the solvent mixtures. The various rate parameters responsible for fluorescence quenching have been determined using a sphere of action static quenching model and finite sink approximation model. The magnitudes of these rate parameters indicate that positive deviation in the S-V plot is due to both static and dynamic quenching processes.

Polystyrene containing small mole fractions of pendent 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) and fluorescein (F) was prepared. Absorption of light by DPA results in very efficient intracoil sensitization of the 1F* state. The quantum efficiency (χ) of this process has been estimated as 0.75 in dimethylformamide (DMF) and 0.95 in 5:1 DMF/H2O. The increase in χ in this latter solvent mixture is ascribed to the diminished polymer coil size in this poorer solvent. Analysis of the time dependence of fuorescence suggests a combined static and dynamic quenching of 1(DPA)* by energy transfer. Studies of 1(DPA)* and 1(F)* fluorescence quenching by DABCO corroborate this model.

Disodium 1,5- and 1,8-anthracenedisulphonate (ADS) and 9-acetylanthracene form coloured CT complexes with methylviologen (MV2+) in aqueous and micellar media. The complex formation constants and molar absorptivities were determined by the Benesi-Hildebrandt method. In the fluorescence quenching, its static component plays the major role. The dynamic quenching component is determined by the rate constant of electron transfer from the S1 state of ADS to MV2+.

Bryophytes face challenges due to global climate change which is leading to in-depth research in monitoring and studying their photosynthetic activity. The aim of this preliminary experiment was to study the seasonal variation trend in the chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters, Fv/Fm (ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence), photochemical fluorescence quenching (qP), photochemical quantum yield of photosystem II (ΦPS II), fluorescence quenching (qN), and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), in the moss cushions of Syntrichia ruralis [Hedw.] collected from semi-arid sandy dunes for two slopes i.e., north-east (NE) and south-west (SW) direction. Our results showed a seasonal and small-spatial scale variation trend in all chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. These variations are due to different seasonal conditions referring to different degrees of environmental stress. ΦPS II and qP values were maximum in winter and in spring seasons while Fv/Fm, NPQ and qN were maximum in summer. Based on the different exposition of dunes, the SW slope showed increased values of the effective quantum yield of PS II and qP in comparison to the NE slope due to the optimal microclimate conditions for their expansion. These results may refer to the future changing in diversification and coverage of the Syntrichia species in semi-arid sandy grassland due to more effective metabolism in the beneficial microclimatic conditions.

Abstract Fluorescence quenching of 22 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by nitromethane in toluene and acetonitrile solutions has been studied. Contrary to Sawicki’s observations that the fluorescence of hydrocarbons with the fluoranthene skeleton is not quenched that of 11.12-and 3.4-benzofluor-anthene and fluoranthene itself is quenched. These compounds have a high energy of the fluorescence transition. The fluorescence quenching of the compounds investigated follows a dynamic quenching mechanism. The bimolecular rate constant of fluorescence quenching increases exponentially with the energy of the fluorescing state of alternant hydrocarbons.
