Abstract
The photophysical properties of an anthraquinone based dye, Solvent Green 3 (SG3) were investigated in chloroform solution and stearic acid supported Langmuir-Blodgett films (SG-LB) by steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Both steady state and time-resolved studies were performed for SG3 in chloroform solution (1 µM) whereas only steady-state measurements were performed for the SG-LB films. The studies revealed that the photodynamics of SG3 are guided by deexcitation of energetically separated conformers and aggregates of SG3, namely the closed form (CF) and open form (OF) in solution. However, in SG-LB, the OF dominates the photophysical properties. The current report sheds light on the effect of conformational confinement on the photophysical properties of organic dye molecules, thereby enabling better understanding of photo behaviour of small organic molecules.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fluorescence is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original articles that advance the practice of this established spectroscopic technique. Topics covered include advances in theory/and or data analysis, studies of the photophysics of aromatic molecules, solvent, and environmental effects, development of stationary or time-resolved measurements, advances in fluorescence microscopy, imaging, photobleaching/recovery measurements, and/or phosphorescence for studies of cell biology, chemical biology and the advanced uses of fluorescence in flow cytometry/analysis, immunology, high throughput screening/drug discovery, DNA sequencing/arrays, genomics and proteomics. Typical applications might include studies of macromolecular dynamics and conformation, intracellular chemistry, and gene expression. The journal also publishes papers that describe the synthesis and characterization of new fluorophores, particularly those displaying unique sensitivities and/or optical properties. In addition to original articles, the Journal also publishes reviews, rapid communications, short communications, letters to the editor, topical news articles, and technical and design notes.
