Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and second-order coupled cluster method with resolution-of-the-identity approximation (RICC2) were used to investigate the photolysis dynamics of 9-fluorenol (FOH) in alcohols. In this work, a novel mechanism for the accelerated photolysis dynamics of FOH in alcohols is proposed for the first time. The two hydrogen bonds present different effects in the dissociation process of C9–O bond in MeOH⋯FOH⋯MeOH trimer: formation of hydrogen bond MeOH⋯FOH could weaken the C9–O bond, while, hydrogen bond FOH⋯MeOH fastens the bond. Moreover, the thermodynamic equilibrium can be accomplished in both ground and excited states between hydrogen-bonded complexes, since the hydrogen bond reorganization occurs in hundreds of femtosecond upon the excitation. The excited-state potential energy (PE) curves along C9–O bond have been optimized in S1 state. The cleavage of C9–O bond upon the photoexcitation would be facilitated effectively in MeOH⋯FOH dimer. This leads the thermodynamic equilibrium between hydrogen-bonded complexes leaning to the side of MeOH⋯FOH dimer to quench the fluorescence. Therefore, the photolysis of 9-fluorenol in alcohols can be facilitated effectively by MeOH⋯FOH hydrogen bond via excited-state hydrogen bond reorganization. Additionally, the excited-state hydrogen bond reorganization is also the rate-controlling step in photolysis of FOH in alcohols, since there is no barrier in the PE curve of MeOH⋯FOH dimer.

The phenomenon of bioluminescence has fascinated layman and scientist alike for many centuries. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a number of observations were reported on the physiology of bioluminescence in Renilla, the common sea pansy. More recently biochemists have directed their attention to the molecular basis of luminosity in this colonial form. These studies have centered primarily on defining the chemical basis for bioluminescence and its control. It is now established that bioluminescence in Renilla arises due to the luciferase-catalyzed oxidation of luciferin. This results in the creation of a product (oxyluciferin) in an electronic excited state. The transition of oxyluciferin from its excited state to the ground state leads to light emission.

Core edge spectroscopy methods are versatile tools for investigating a wide variety of materials. They can be used to probe the electronic states of materials in bulk solids, on surfaces, or in the gas phase. This family of methods involves promoting an inner shell (core) electron to an excited state and recording either the primary excitation or secondary decay of the excited state. The techniques are complimentary and have different strengths and limitations for studying challenging aspects of materials. The need to identify components in polymers or polymer blends at high spatial resolution has driven development, application, and integration of results from several of these methods.

In this work, ground and excited-state properties were used as descriptors for probing mechanisms as well as to assess potential alternatives for tackling the elimination of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
