In the title compound, C(22)H(17)NO(2), the acridine ring system and the benzene ring are oriented at a dihedral angle of 37.7 (1)°. The carboxyl group is twisted at an angle of 67.7 (1)° relative to the acridine skeleton. In the crystal, mol-ecules are arranged in stacks along the b axis, with all of the acridine rings involved in multiple π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances in the ...

Fluorescence properties (quantum yield, decay curve, lifetime and polarization) of acridine orange and proflavine bound to DNA were examined as a function of nucleotide to dye (P/D) ratio. First, mean fluorescence lifetimes were determined by the phase-shift measurements. The lifetime and quantum yield of acridine orange increased in a parallel fashion with increasing P/D ratio. There was no pa...

In the title compound, C(23)H(20)NO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), the acridine ring system is oriented at a dihedral angle of 23.1 (1)° with respect to the benzene ring and the carboxyl group is twisted at an angle of 74.1 (1)° relative to the acridine skeleton. In the crystal, adjacent cations are linked through C-H⋯π inter-actions and neighboring cations and anions via weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The...

The mol-ecules in the crystal structure of the title compound, C(20)H(15)NO(2), form inversion dimers connected through the C-H⋯N and π-π inter-actions. These dimers are further linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions. The meth-oxy group is nearly coplanar with the acridine ring system [dihedral angle = 4.5 (1)°], whereas the phen-oxy fragment is nearly perpendicular to it [dihedral angle = 85.0 (1)°]. T...

We report data demonstrating that zebrafish embryos irradiated by α-particles can release a stress signal into the water, which can be communicated to the unirradiated zebrafish embryos sharing the same water medium, and then these unirradiated zebrafish embryos can release a feedback stress signal back to the irradiated embryos. The effects of radiation on the whole embryos were studied throug...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(22)H(18)NO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), adjacent cations are linked through C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions, and the cations and anions are connected by C-H⋯O and C-F⋯π inter-actions. The acridine and benzene ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 3.0 (1)°. The carboxyl group is twisted at an angle of 83.1 (1)° relative to the acridine skeleton....

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(15)H(13)ClNO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), the meth-oxy groups are nearly coplanar with the acridine ring system, making dihedral angles of 0.4 (2) and 5.1 (2)°. Multidirectional π-π contacts between acridine units are observed in the crystal structure. N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link cations and anions, forming a layer structure.

We develop a facile method to immobilize cucurbituril on silicon substrates through photochemical reaction with azido groups. Combining photolithography and the competitive molecular recognition between CB[7] and acridine orange base or 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid, a patterned surface with reversible fluorescence emission can be obtained.
