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.

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.

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+.

Tetrazine-based fluorogenic probes are powerful tools for bioimaging, biosensing, and medical diagnostic applications. In these probes, the attachment of a tetrazine moiety generates a non-fluorescent precursor; upon the bio-orthogonal reaction...

A series of cross-linked polyurethane samples, labeled with dyes suitable for fluorescence energy transfer experiments, were prepared (donor, phenanthrene; acceptor, anthracene). Fluorescence decay profiles for these samples were measured as a function of acceptor concentration. These decays obey Förster nonradiative energy transfer kinetics, with an energy transfer critical distance (R0) of 26.7 Å. Fluorescence intensities, calculated from the decays by integrating the decay profiles, also fit the Perrin model, with a quenching radius (Rs) of 25.6 Å. The fluorescence decay profiles were further examined with a distribution analysis method, which also revealed uniformly distributed donors and acceptors in the polymer matrices. Keywords: fluorescence quenching, fluorescence decay, phenanthrene, anthracene, polyurethane.
