Molecular electronic energy transfer in bichromophoric molecules in solution and in a supersonic jet expansion
نویسنده
چکیده
We present preliminary results showing electronic energy transfer (EET) between benzene and biacetyl and between naphthalene and anthracene in a supersonic jet expansion and in bichromophoric molecules in solution. Excitation of several vibronic levels of benzene (donor) in the presence of biacetyl (acceptor) shows quenching of benzene emission with simultaneous appearance of biacetyl fluorescence emission with similar results for the pair naphthalene (donor) and anthracene (acceptor). The quenching follows Stern-Volmer kinetics as a function of added acceptor pressure, indicative of EET in a binary donor-acceptor complex.

The cooling of molecules during the adiabatic expansion of supersonic seeded molecular beams is reviewed and illustrated by the example of NO -molecules. The reduction of the Doppler width by collimation of the beam and the cooling to low rotational temperatures brings a significant simplification of the complex NO -absorption spectrum and allows its assignment. The measured rotational tem...

By excite-and-probe spectroscopy with subpicosecond time resolution, we have measured the intramolecular electronic energy transfer in bichromophoric coumarins linked by a flexible polymethylene chain. The transfer proceeds on a time scale between 1 and 20 ps depending on the polymethylene chain length. The results can be well described by a dipole-dipole interaction model that takes into accou...
متن کاملRevealing competitive Forster-type resonance energy-transfer pathways in single bichromophoric molecules.
We demonstrate measurements of the efficiency of competing Förster-type energy-transfer pathways in single bichromophoric systems by monitoring simultaneously the fluorescence intensity, fluorescence lifetime, and the number of independent emitters with time. Peryleneimide end-capped fluorene trimers, hexamers, and polymers with interchromophore distances of 3.4, 5.9, and on average 42 nm, resp...
متن کاملTheoretical insights into the adsorption behavior of CO molecules on the pure and Vn-doped BN nanotubes
Interaction of pure and Vn-doped (8, 0), (12, 0) and (16, 0) boron nitride nanotubes with CO molecules was studied using B3LYP/6-311++G(d) theoretical level. Substituting V instead of B atoms, increased the reactivity of nanotube. From the results, the complex stability depends on the direction and the number of the CO molecules interacted with the nanotube. In this work, the quantum...
