Addition of β-Cyclodextrin to aqueous solutions of rhodamine B base results in the deaggregation of the dye to its monomer form. This is due to the association of monomeric rhodamine B base to the cyclodextrin. The absorption and emission spectra of the aqueous dye solution have been described. This has also been proved by UV-Vis, FTIR and Scanning Eelectron Microscope (SEM). Ground state (Kg) ...

This investigation explores, for the first time, the random laser behavior of ground powder obtained from organic-inorganic hybrid materials based on Rhodamine 6G incorporated into a di-ureasil matrix. The experimental results, both in the spectral and temporal domains, obtained by pumping with picosecond laser pulses, show the existence of efficient random laser emission in this system. Finall...

A highly sensitive and selective Hg probe 4 based on rhodamine-b was developed and characterized. In consideration of environmental and biological application, we connected a water soluble receptor group (sulfonated β-naphtol) and rhodamine-b together through hydrazine hydrate in high yield. The result turns out that this compound not only exhibits excellent sensitivity and selectivity toward H...

N-(rhodamine B)-deoxylactam-5-amino-1-pentanol (dRB-APOH) was designed and prepared as the chromo-fluorogenic sensor for detection of a nerve agent simulant via analyte triggered tandem phosphorylation and opening of the intramolecular deoxylactam. The successful detection of diethyl chlorophosphate suggests the utility of rhodamine-deoxylactams as the chromo-fluorogenic signal reporting platfo...

A new, simple and highly sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Ru(III) in the range of 0.06-20 ng/ml .The method is based on the inhibitory effect of ruthenium(III) on the oxidation of Rhodamine B by bromate in acidic and micellar medium. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decreasing in absorbance of R...

The research of the present work was to investigate the removal of Rhodamine B dyes from aqueous solution by using Activated Acacia Nilotica Shell Carbon (ANSC). Generally, dyes are organic compounds used as colouring products in chemical, textile, paper, printing, leather, plastics and various food industries. The need for the treatment of dye contaminated waste water passed out from the indus...

This study reports decolorization of Rhodamine B and Congo red by a partially purified laccase from Lentinus polychrous Lév. in the presence or absence of 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6sulfonate) diammonium salt (ABTS) as a redox mediator. The decolorization study showed that about 90% of Rhodamine B could be decolorized within 52 h, whereas Congo red could be decolorized more than 75% ...

The rhodamine derivatives tetramethyl-rhodamine-5/6-maleimide (TROMI) and tetramethyl-rhodamine-6-isothiocyanate (TRITC) were allowed to react with living Hydra vulgaris. The two fluorescent dyes stain the polyps to different degrees, apparently without impairing their viability and behaviour. Concerning nematocytes, TROMI preferentially couples to cytoskeletal elements only of mounted nematocy...

Particular thiols of the myosin subfragment 1 moieties of single glycerinated muscle fibers are covalently labeled with rhodamine. By using appropriate solutions such fibers can be relaxed, be in rigor, or develop active isometric tension. The rhodamine is excited by polarized 514.5-nm laser light; the greater than 580-nm fluorescence is resolved into orthogonal components and the intensity of ...
