A sensitive and selective zinc ion ratiometric fluorescence sensor has been synthesized and characterized. This material displays dual fluorescence. After the material was bonded to a closed-shell metal ion, such as Zn2+, the recovery of the local excited fluorescence of the material-Zn2+ complex, largely at the expense of the intramolecular charge transfer fluorescence, is consistent with the difference between selected orbital transitions of the free dye and the metal-chelated complex. For instance, the contribution of the πtpy→πtpy transition becomes more prominent. This is also consistent with the results of the fluorescence decay behavior, measured via a time-correlated single photon counting setup. In contrast, the corresponding open shell Ni2+-bound complex quenches both kinds of photoluminescence, due to spin-orbit coupling.

The rapid internal conversion dynamics at room temperature is determined by using the femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence depletion measurements of a complex solvated molecule of LD 700(rhodamine 700) combined with steadystate absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy,as well as quantum chemical calculation.The molecule is excited by a 50 fs laser pulse at 400 nm which directly populated the highly excited singlet state,the rapid internal conversions(ICs) are observed,which leads to the directional changes of the emission transition moment following photoexcitation to the highly excited singlet state S5 of LD 700.
We report a newly synthesized polymer of a star-shaped porphyrin compound(TPA-FxP) with four oligofluorene arms at its meso positions with the pronounced enhancement of the two-photon properties and the generation of singlet oxygen by utilizing the two-photon excited fluorescence resonance energy transfer.The steady-state spectra and transient triplet-triplet absorption spectra give evidence that the enhanced two-photon absorption cross section results from not only the through-space energy transfer(Frster) but also the through-bond energy transfer between conjugated peripheral oligofluorene arms and the porphyrin core.The two-photon absorption cross section at 780 nm up to 3360 GM(1 GM = 10-50 cm4·s/photon) of TPA-FxP was obtained,which is comparable to the highest values reported from other similar chemically modified porphyrin core compounds.Furthermore,the enhanced production of singlet oxygen under two-photon absorption conditions is also reported.
In this study,we have performed first-principles screened exchanged hybrid density function theory with the HSE06 function calculations of the C-Mo,C-W,N-Nb and N-Ta codoped anatase TiO 2 systems to investigate the effect of codoping on the electronic structure of TiO 2.The calculated results demonstrate that(W(s)+C(s)) codoped TiO 2 narrows the band gap significantly,and have little influence on the position of conduction band edges,therefore,enhances the efficiency of the photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water and the photodegradation of organic pollutants.Moreover,the proper oxygen pressure and temperature are two key factors during synthesis which should be carefully under control so that the desired(W(s)+C(s)) codoped TiO 2 can be obtained.
The quantum scattering dynamics calculations are carried out for the exchange and abstraction processes in the D(2S)+DS(2Ⅱ) reaction by the time-dependent wave-packet (TDWP) method.These calculations are based on the high-quality ab initio potential energy surface of the reacting system.The reaction probabilities and integral cross sections are obtained in the collision energy (Ecol) range of 0.0-2.0eV for the reactant DS initially in the ground state and the first vibrationally excited state.We take the Coriolis coupling (CC) effect into account and present the comparison between the CC and the centrifugal sudden (CS) approximation calculation.The dynamics results show that the initial vibrational excitation of DS enhances both abstraction and exchange processes except that it has little effect on the abstraction cross section in the high energy region.
